Product details
Overview
MMQA24VT1 from ON Semiconductor is a quad monolithic common-anode ESD protection diode in SC−74 package, designed for transient overvoltage suppression on four independent signal lines. It features 24 V nominal Zener voltage (22.8–25.2 V), 100 A maximum reverse surge current, and clamps at ≤34.6 V under peak pulse conditions - ideal for protecting I/O ports in space-constrained industrial interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the MMQA24VT1 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include unidirectional clamping performance, 150 W peak power capability at 20 µs, Class 3B ESD rating (>16 kV HBM), low leakage (<75 nA), and SC−74 footprint compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device implements a quad-junction common-anode topology where Pin 2 and Pin 5 serve as shared anodes, and Pins 1/3/4/6 are individual cathodes - enabling four independent unidirectional TVS paths in one package. Each channel operates with a specified breakdown voltage of 22.8–25.2 V at 1.0 mA test current and maintains clamping voltage ≤34.6 V at 100 A peak pulse current per Figure 5 waveform.
Thermal design is supported by junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 556 °C/W on FR-5 board and 417 °C/W on alumina substrate. Its Pb-free SC−74 package (Case 318F) complies with RoHS and supports reflow soldering up to 260 °C for 10 seconds.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SZMMQA24VT1G | AEC-Q101 qualified; identical electrical specs but with automotive-grade process controls and PPAP documentation support | Required for automotive OEM designs needing certified qualification evidence and change control traceability | Select SZMMQA24VT1G when automotive qualification, site-specific manufacturing controls, or PPAP submission is mandatory |
| MMQA24VT1G | Same electrical specs and SC−74 package; differs only in tape-and-reel packaging (3,000 units vs. MMQA24VT1's unspecified reel size) | No functional difference - used interchangeably where packaging logistics allow | Choose MMQA24VT1G for standard production volumes with 3,000-unit tape-and-reel delivery |
Compared with SZMMQA24VT1G and MMQA24VT1G, the MMQA24VT1 offers identical core protection performance but lacks explicit automotive qualification documentation and standardized reel packaging - making it suitable for industrial and commercial applications where those attributes are not required.

FAQ
What is the exact Zener voltage range for MMQA24VT1?
The MMQA24VT1 has a guaranteed breakdown voltage range of 22.8 V to 25.2 V at 1.0 mA test current, with nominal value of 24 V. This specification is measured per the datasheet's Figure 5 pulse test condition and remains stable across −55°C to +150°C junction temperature range. The MMQA24VT1's tight VZ tolerance ensures predictable clamping behavior in 24 V system protection circuits.
Does MMQA24VT1 support bidirectional ESD protection?
No, MMQA24VT1 is strictly unidirectional - its common-anode configuration requires the anode pins (2 and 5) to be tied to ground or a positive bias rail, with cathodes (1, 3, 4, 6) connected to protected lines. Bidirectional protection would require separate back-to-back diode pairs or dedicated bidirectional TVS arrays. The MMQA24VT1 datasheet explicitly defines operation only under unidirectional test conditions (Figure 5 and Figure 6 waveforms).
What is the maximum clamping voltage of MMQA24VT1 under surge conditions?
The MMQA24VT1 clamps to a maximum of 34.6 V at 100 A peak pulse current (per Figure 5 10×1000 µs waveform). At lower surge currents - such as 25 A - clamping drops to approximately 28 V. This value is measured with the device mounted on FR-5 board and reflects worst-case voltage seen by downstream circuitry during transient events. The MMQA24VT1's clamping performance is validated across its full operating temperature range.
Can MMQA24VT1 replace older P6SMB24A in the same PCB layout?
No - MMQA24VT1 uses SC−74 (3.0×1.5 mm) package with 6 pins, while P6SMB24A is DO-214AA (SMB) with 2 pins and 4.5×3.9 mm footprint. Their pinouts, thermal paths, and mounting requirements are incompatible. Direct replacement would require PCB redesign. The MMQA24VT1 serves a different use case: integrated quad-line protection versus single-line discrete TVS. Use MMQA24VT1 where four coordinated protection paths are needed in minimal area.
Is MMQA24VT1 compliant with RoHS and REACH regulations?
Yes, MMQA24VT1 is Pb-free and RoHS compliant per the datasheet's "Pb−Free Package" designation and reference to ON Semiconductor's Soldering and Mounting Techniques Reference Manual. It also meets REACH SVHC requirements as confirmed in onsemi's material declarations. The MMQA24VT1's thermosetting plastic case and corrosion-resistant finish support environmentally compliant manufacturing and end-of-life handling.
