Product details
Overview
MMBZ15VDLT1 from onsemi is a dual common-cathode SOT-23 Zener diode array designed for bidirectional or unidirectional transient voltage suppression in space-constrained interfaces. It delivers 15 V nominal breakdown voltage (VBR = 14.3–15.8 V @ IT = 1.0 mA), 40 W peak pulse power (1.0 ms), and ±30 kV IEC61000-4-2 contact ESD protection - deployed in USB, HDMI, and CAN bus line protection.
For engineers reviewing the MMBZ15VDLT1 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified electrical parameters, validated dual-anode/cathode terminal roles, real-world clamping behavior (VC = 21.2 V @ IPP = 1.9 A), and direct alternatives with documented thermal and leakage differences.
Technical Context
This device integrates two monolithic silicon Zener junctions sharing a single cathode (Pin 3), enabling either independent unidirectional clamping on Pins 1–3 and 2–3, or combined bidirectional operation across Pins 1–2. Its SOT-23 package supports both configurations without external wiring changes.
It meets Class 3B HBM ESD rating (>16 kV) and IEC61000-4-2 Level 4 (±30 kV contact), with <100 nA reverse leakage at 12.8 V working voltage and a temperature coefficient of ±12 mV/°C - critical for stable clamping over −55 °C to +150 °C junction range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Breakdown Voltage (VBR) | 14.3–15.8 V @ IT = 1.0 mA - defines precise clamping threshold for 15 V rail protection |
| Clamping Voltage (VC) | 21.2 V @ IPP = 1.9 A - maximum voltage seen by protected circuit during 40 W surge |
| Peak Pulse Power | 40 W @ 1.0 ms - sustains high-energy transients per Figure 5 waveform without failure |
| ESD Rating | IEC61000-4-2 Level 4 (±30 kV contact) - exceeds industrial immunity requirements |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | <100 nA @ VRWM = 12.8 V - ensures minimal standby current in always-on interfaces |
| Junction Temp Range | −55 °C to +150 °C - supports automotive under-hood and industrial control environments |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23 (TO-236) package, case 318, style 9: void-free thermosetting plastic, Pb-free, UL 94 V-0 rated, 2.90 × 1.30 × 1.00 mm footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Anode 1 | First Zener anode - connects to Line 1 for unidirectional protection or forms one side of bidirectional path |
| Pin 2 | Anode 2 | Second Zener anode - connects to Line 2; enables dual-line protection with shared cathode |
| Pin 3 | Cathode | Common cathode node - ties both Zeners to ground or reference plane; determines polarity configuration |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual common-cathode topology | Enables two independent 15 V protection paths or single 15 V bidirectional clamp in one SOT-23 footprint |
| 40 W peak pulse rating | Handles IEC61000-4-5 surges up to 1.9 A without degradation when mounted on FR-5 board |
| ±30 kV IEC61000-4-2 contact ESD | Eliminates need for secondary ESD components in USB 2.0, HDMI, and automotive data lines |
| <100 nA leakage @ 12.8 V | Preserves signal integrity and battery life in low-power sensor and IoT interface circuits |
| AEC-Q101 qualified (SZ prefix variant) | Validated for automotive applications including CAN FD and LIN bus nodes requiring PPAP compliance |
Applications
| USB 2.0 Data Lines | HDMI Hot-Plug Detection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting D+ and D− lines against ESD events during cable insertion/removal in portable devices. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-line transient voltage suppressor with common cathode grounding to system GND. Use Value: Prevents latch-up or damage to USB transceivers while maintaining <100 nA leakage for suspend-mode current budgets. |

Use Value: Achieves bidirectional clamping with matched VBR tolerance (±0.5 V), ensuring balanced common-mode transient rejection. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-Zener transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| PESD5V0S1BA,115 (Nexperia) | Single-line 5 V TVS; lower clamping (12.5 V @ 1 A) but higher ESD rating (±30 kV air); no dual-Zener architecture | Requires two devices for dual-line protection; unsuitable for bidirectional 15 V rail clamping | Select when protecting 5 V logic-level interfaces where low clamping voltage outweighs board space savings |
| SZMMBZ15VDLT1G (onsemi) | Identical electrical specs and pinout; AEC-Q101 qualified, PPAP-capable, with automotive traceability controls | Required for automotive OEM designs needing certified change control and lot traceability | Choose for automotive ECUs, ADAS sensors, or any application requiring AEC-Q101 compliance and PPAP documentation |
Compared with MMBZ15VDLT1, the SZMMBZ15VDLT1G offers identical protection performance with added automotive qualification, while the PESD5V0S1BA serves lower-voltage, single-line use cases - neither is pin-compatible for dual-line 15 V clamping without redesign.

FAQ
What is the exact breakdown voltage tolerance of MMBZ15VDLT1?
The MMBZ15VDLT1 has a specified breakdown voltage range of 14.3 V to 15.8 V at test current IT = 1.0 mA, with nominal 15 V. This ±0.7 V tolerance ensures predictable clamping onset across production lots and temperature extremes from −55 °C to +150 °C, as confirmed in Table 3 of the onsemi datasheet.
Can MMBZ15VDLT1 be used in bidirectional mode for CAN bus protection?
Yes - MMBZ15VDLT1 supports bidirectional clamping by connecting Pins 1 and 2 across the differential pair (e.g., CAN_H and CAN_L) and tying Pin 3 to ground. This configuration leverages its dual-anode structure to provide symmetrical ±15 V clamping, validated in onsemi's CAN protection reference design (Figure 7).
What is the maximum clamping voltage of MMBZ15VDLT1 under surge conditions?
The MMBZ15VDLT1 clamps to 21.2 V at peak pulse current IPP = 1.9 A (per Figure 5 waveform), with 40 W peak power capability. This value is measured under standardized 1.0 ms transient conditions and remains stable across ambient temperatures up to +125 °C per derating curve (Figure 6).
Is MMBZ15VDLT1 RoHS-compliant and halogen-free?
Yes - MMBZ15VDLT1 is explicitly marked as Pb-Free in the ordering information and carries UL 94 V-0 flammability rating. The device uses halogen-free molding compound and complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU, as stated in the "Mechanical Characteristics" section and marking diagram notes.
How does MMBZ15VDLT1 differ from the discontinued MMBZ39VCLT1G?
MMBZ15VDLT1 targets 15 V systems with VBR = 14.3–15.8 V and IPP = 1.9 A, whereas the discontinued MMBZ39VCLT1G is rated for 39 V (VBR = 37.05–40.95 V) and lower surge current (0.76 A). They share SOT-23 packaging and dual-common-cathode topology but serve non-interchangeable voltage rails and cannot substitute without circuit revalidation.
