Product details
Overview
MMBZ27VCLT1G from onsemi is a dual common-cathode 27 V Zener diode array in SOT-23 package, rated for 40 W peak pulse power (1.0 ms), 22.5 mW steady-state dissipation on FR-5 board, and ±30 kV IEC61000-4-2 contact ESD protection. It provides bidirectional clamping for two signal lines in space-constrained interfaces such as automotive CAN bus transceivers and USB data lines.
For engineers reviewing the MMBZ27VCLT1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include verified 27 V nominal breakdown voltage (25.65–28.35 V at 1 mA), <50 nA reverse leakage at 22 V, 38 V clamping voltage at 1.0 A peak pulse, and SOT-23 dual-anode/common-cathode terminal configuration.
Technical Context
This device integrates two monolithic silicon Zener junctions sharing a common cathode (Pin 3), enabling either independent unidirectional protection of two lines or combined bidirectional transient suppression. Its thermal resistance is 556 °C/W on FR-5 board and 417 °C/W on alumina substrate.
The MMBZ27VCLT1G operates across −55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range, supports 260 °C soldering for 10 seconds, and meets UL 94 V-0 flammability rating. It is Pb-free and AEC-Q101 qualified when ordered with SZ prefix.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-Zener ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ27VCALT1G | Same 27 V breakdown, but uses alternate marking code "27CA" and may reflect minor process revision - identical electrical specs and SOT-23 pinout | No functional difference; used interchangeably in legacy designs where marking consistency is not required | Select when sourcing flexibility is needed across onsemi's dual-Zener family without changing layout or firmware |
| SZMMBZ27VCLT1G | AEC-Q101 qualified variant with automotive-grade traceability, same 27 V VBR, 38 V VC, and SOT-23 package | Required for automotive production programs needing PPAP documentation and extended temperature validation | Choose for Tier 1 automotive designs where qualification compliance outweighs cost premium |
Compared with MMBZ27VCLT1G, MMBZ27VCALT1G offers identical protection performance with alternate marking, while SZMMBZ27VCLT1G adds automotive qualification and supply-chain traceability - neither requires PCB changes, but only the SZ variant satisfies OEM AEC-Q101 mandates.

FAQ
What is the exact Zener breakdown voltage range for MMBZ27VCLT1G?
The MMBZ27VCLT1G has a specified breakdown voltage range of 25.65 V to 28.35 V at 1.0 mA test current, with a nominal value of 27 V. This tolerance ensures reliable clamping behavior across manufacturing lots and temperature variations from −55 °C to +150 °C, as confirmed in the onsemi datasheet revision 18, page 3.
Does MMBZ27VCLT1G support bidirectional transient suppression?
Yes, the MMBZ27VCLT1G supports bidirectional operation by connecting Pins 1 and 2 to opposing sides of a differential signal pair and Pin 3 to ground - forming a symmetric clamp. Its dual-anode/common-cathode structure enables this configuration without external components, as validated in Figure 7 of the official datasheet for Single-Wire CAN applications.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of MMBZ27VCLT1G under surge conditions?
The MMBZ27VCLT1G exhibits a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 38 V at 1.0 A peak pulse current, measured using the 1.0 ms waveform defined in Figure 5 of the datasheet. This value remains stable across ambient temperatures up to +125 °C, making it suitable for high-reliability industrial and automotive environments.
Is MMBZ27VCLT1G RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, MMBZ27VCLT1G is explicitly marked as Pb-Free in the onsemi datasheet (page 1, "Pb-Free Package" note) and conforms to RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. The device uses a corrosion-resistant, easily solderable finish and is rated for 260 °C reflow for 10 seconds - fully compatible with modern lead-free assembly processes.
Can MMBZ27VCLT1G replace discrete Zener diodes in existing designs?
Yes, MMBZ27VCLT1G can directly replace two discrete 27 V Zeners (e.g., MMBZ27VLT1G ×2) in common-cathode configurations, reducing component count and PCB area by 50%. Its SOT-23 pinout (Anode-Anode-Cathode) matches standard layout footprints for dual-Zener protection, with no change to schematic or routing required.
