Product details
Overview
MMBZ33VALT3G from onsemi is a dual common-anode Zener diode array in SOT-23 package, designed for transient overvoltage and ESD protection of two independent signal lines. It features 33 V nominal Zener breakdown voltage (±5%), 40 W peak pulse power at 1.0 ms, clamping voltage of 46 V at 0.87 A, and IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 (±30 kV contact) ESD rating - deployed in USB interfaces, industrial I/O ports, and microprocessor bus lines.
For engineers reviewing the MMBZ33VALT3G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this device serves as a space-constrained, dual-line TVS solution with verified bidirectional/unidirectional configuration flexibility, low leakage (<50 nA @ 26 V), and automotive-grade AEC-Q101 qualification when ordered with SZ prefix.
Technical Context
This dual-junction Zener operates in either unidirectional mode (pins 1–3 or 2–3) or bidirectional mode (pins 1–2), leveraging a shared anode (pin 3) to clamp transients on two separate lines simultaneously. Its 40 W peak pulse power rating is validated per Figure 6's 1.0 ms rectangular waveform, with thermal resistance of 417 °C/W on alumina substrate.
The device delivers precise voltage regulation with ±5% tolerance, temperature coefficient of +0.87 mV/°C, and low dynamic impedance (ZZT = 1.0 Ω @ IZT = 1 mA). Clamping performance is characterized at IPP = 0.87 A, where VC = 46 V ensures robust protection without overstressing downstream ICs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VBR) | 33 V nominal, 31.35–34.65 V range @ IT = 1 mA - ensures stable clamping threshold across production lot and temperature. |
| Peak Pulse Power (Ppk) | 40 W @ 1.0 ms - protects against IEC 61000-4-5 surge events up to 40 W without failure. |
| Clamping Voltage (VC) | 46 V @ IPP = 0.87 A - limits transient voltage seen by protected ICs to safe levels during ESD or surge. |
| ESD Rating | IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4: ±30 kV contact discharge - meets industrial and medical equipment immunity requirements. |
| Leakage Current (IR) | <50 nA @ VRWM = 26 V - minimizes standby power loss and avoids false triggering in high-impedance circuits. |
| Package | SOT-23 (TO-236), 2.90 × 1.30 × 1.00 mm - enables high-density PCB layout with automated assembly compatibility. |
| Operating Temperature | −55 °C to +150 °C - supports deployment in under-hood automotive, industrial control, and outdoor embedded systems. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23 package (Case 318, Style 12) with void-free thermosetting plastic body, UL 94 V-0 flammability rating, and Pb-free/RoHS-compliant finish. Designed for reflow soldering at 260 °C for 10 seconds.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Cathode 1 | First protected line cathode - connects to signal line 1; reverse-biased during overvoltage event. |
| Pin 2 | Cathode 2 | Second protected line cathode - connects to signal line 2; enables dual-line protection in single footprint. |
| Pin 3 | Anode (Common) | Shared anode tied to ground or reference rail - forms two independent Zener junctions with pins 1 and 2. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual common-anode topology | Protects two independent signal paths (e.g., D+ and D−) using one SOT-23 footprint - saves >50% board area vs. discrete dual TVS. |
| Configurable unidirectional/bidirectional operation | Pins 1–3 or 2–3 used for unidirectional clamping; pins 1–2 used for bidirectional - adapts to RS-485, CAN, or USB signal polarity needs. |
| IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 compliance | ±30 kV contact discharge rating - exceeds EN 61000-6-2 immunity requirements for industrial end equipment. |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR) | 46 V / 33 V ≈ 1.39 - ensures minimal overvoltage overshoot during fast transients, preserving signal integrity. |
| AEC-Q101 qualified variant available | SZMMBZ33VALT3G version supports automotive applications with PPAP documentation and site-specific process controls. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-line Zener protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMF33AT1G | Single-channel SOD-123, 33 V, 200 W peak power - higher pulse rating but occupies 2× footprint for dual-line use. | Requires two devices for dual-line protection; better for high-energy surges but less space-efficient. | Select when surge energy exceeds 40 W or when layout allows separate placement per line. |
| TPD2E001DRYR | Two-channel ESD array (0.8 pF/channel), 3.6 V working voltage - optimized for high-speed data lines, not power-line transients. | Designed for USB/HDMI ESD only; lacks Zener clamping for sustained overvoltage or 40 W surge capability. | Prefer for high-frequency signal integrity-critical apps (e.g., USB 3.0); avoid for 24–40 V industrial bus protection. |
Compared with SMF33AT1G and TPD2E001DRYR, the MMBZ33VALT3G uniquely balances dual-line integration, 40 W surge capacity, and 33 V clamping in a single SOT-23 - making it optimal for space-constrained industrial I/O and automotive sensor interfaces where both ESD and moderate surge protection are required.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the MMBZ33VALT3G at its rated peak pulse current?
The MMBZ33VALT3G has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 46 V at its peak pulse current (IPP) of 0.87 A, measured per the 1.0 ms rectangular waveform in Figure 6 of the datasheet. This value ensures downstream components see no more than 46 V during transient events, directly supporting robust interface protection in 3.3 V or 5 V systems interfaced with 24–48 V domains. The MMBZ33VALT3G maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range.
Can the MMBZ33VALT3G be used in bidirectional signal protection applications like RS-485 or CAN bus?
Yes - the MMBZ33VALT3G supports bidirectional operation when configured between pins 1 and 2 (cathodes), with pin 3 (common anode) grounded. This arrangement provides symmetrical clamping for differential signals, making it suitable for RS-485 receivers or CAN FD physical layer protection where ±33 V standoff and 46 V clamping are acceptable. The MMBZ33VALT3G's low leakage and matched junction characteristics ensure balanced response on both lines.
What is the difference between MMBZ33VALT1G and MMBZ33VALT3G?
The MMBZ33VALT1G is supplied in 3,000-unit 7-inch tape-and-reel packaging, while the MMBZ33VALT3G uses 10,000-unit 13-inch tape-and-reel packaging - identical electrically and mechanically. Both share the same SOT-23 package, 33 V Zener voltage, 40 W peak power, and IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 ESD rating. The MMBZ33VALT3G is optimized for high-volume production runs requiring extended reel length and reduced changeover frequency.
Does the MMBZ33VALT3G meet automotive qualification standards?
The base MMBZ33VALT3G is not automotive-qualified, but its SZ-prefixed variant - SZMMBZ33VALT3G - is AEC-Q101 qualified, PPAP capable, and manufactured under automotive-specific process controls. That version includes enhanced traceability, extended temperature validation (−55 °C to +150 °C), and site-specific quality documentation. For automotive applications, specify SZMMBZ33VALT3G; the MMBZ33VALT3G remains ideal for industrial and commercial designs.
How does the thermal performance of the MMBZ33VALT3G compare between FR-5 board and alumina substrate?
On FR-5 board, the MMBZ33VALT3G has a thermal resistance (RJA) of 556 °C/W and steady-state power dissipation of 225 mW at 25 °C; on alumina substrate, RJA improves to 417 °C/W with 300 mW dissipation. This 25% lower thermal resistance on alumina enables higher continuous power handling in thermally demanding environments - critical for industrial motor drives or power supply monitoring circuits where ambient temperatures exceed 70 °C. The MMBZ33VALT3G's performance is validated per Notes 2 and 3 in the Maximum Ratings table.
