Product details
Overview
MPTE-005G from ON Semiconductor is a unidirectional Mosorb Zener transient voltage suppressor (TVS) designed for parallel clamping protection of sensitive electronics against high-energy transients. It features a 5.0 V working peak reverse voltage (VRWM), 1500 W peak pulse power at 1 ms, clamping voltage of 9.4 V at 160 A peak pulse current (IPP), and sub-1 ns response time - ideal for safeguarding power supply rails and I/O lines in industrial control systems.
For engineers reviewing the MPTE-005G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include VRWM matching system DC bias, VC vs. IPP performance under surge stress, thermal derating above 75°C, and axial lead (Case 41A) mounting compatibility with legacy through-hole PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The MPTE-005G operates as a Zener-based avalanche diode, leveraging silicon junction breakdown to clamp transient overvoltages above its specified VRWM. Its low zener impedance and fast intrinsic response (<1 ns) enable effective suppression of ESD (Class 3, >16 kV HBM) and lightning-induced surges without significant overshoot when properly laid out.
It is rated for non-repetitive 1500 W pulses per Figure 5 waveform (8.3 ms half-sine or square), with steady-state dissipation limited to 5.0 W at TL ≤ 75°C and thermal resistance RJL = 20°C/W. The device requires no bias circuitry and functions solely in reverse-biased mode during transient events.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRWM | 5.0 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage; must be ≥ circuit's normal DC/peak AC rail voltage to avoid leakage conduction. |
| VC @ IPP | 9.4 V @ 160 A - clamped voltage during worst-case 1 ms surge; defines maximum stress on protected downstream components. |
| IPP | 160 A - peak pulse current capability at 1 ms; determines survivability against IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 (4 kV/2 Ω) surges. |
| IR @ VRWM | 300 µA - reverse leakage at rated VRWM; ensures minimal standby power loss and signal integrity in high-impedance circuits. |
| Response Time | <1 ns - intrinsic junction switching speed; enables clamping before most microsecond-scale transients fully develop. |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV HBM) - qualifies for robust handling in automated assembly and end-equipment environments with high static risk. |
| Package | Case 41A axial lead - standardized 8.5–9.5 mm body length, 4.8–5.3 mm diameter; compatible with manual soldering (230°C, 10 s) and wave soldering. |
Pinout & Package
MPTE-005G uses an axial-leaded, polarity-marked plastic package (Case 41A). Cathode is identified by a band; anode is unmarked. Leads are tinned copper, corrosion-resistant, and readily solderable. Mounting position is unrestricted.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Reference node for reverse-bias operation | Connected to system ground or low-side return path; establishes reference for clamping action. |
| Cathode | Transient voltage sensing and clamping node | Connected to protected line (e.g., +5 V rail); conducts surge current to ground when voltage exceeds VRWM. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 1500 W peak pulse power | Enables single-device protection against severe surges (e.g., IEC 61000-4-5 4 kV/2 Ω) without cascading devices or external current limiting. |
| Clamping ratio VC/VRWM = 1.88 | Provides tight voltage margin between operating rail and clamping level - critical for protecting 5 V CMOS logic with 7 V absolute max ratings. |
| Pb-free Surmetic package | Meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level (MSL) requirements for industrial reflow compatibility. |
| Low zener impedance | Minimizes dynamic voltage rise during high di/dt events - reduces overshoot in PCB traces with <10 nH inductance. |
| −65°C to +175°C operating range | Supports deployment in under-hood automotive modules, industrial motor drives, and outdoor telecom enclosures without derating. |

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of MPTE-005G under surge conditions?
The MPTE-005G has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 9.4 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 160 A with a 1 ms waveform. This value is measured per Figure 5 in the official ON Semiconductor datasheet and represents the upper bound of voltage seen by protected circuitry during worst-case transient events - critical for ensuring downstream ICs remain within absolute maximum ratings.
Is MPTE-005G suitable for bidirectional signal line protection?
No, MPTE-005G is a unidirectional TVS diode and must only be used on DC-biased or ground-referenced lines. For bidirectional applications such as AC-coupled data lines or floating buses, ON Semiconductor's MPTE-005C or ICTE-005C variants - explicitly rated for symmetrical ±5 V clamping - are required instead.
What is the thermal resistance and steady-state power rating of MPTE-005G?
The MPTE-005G has a junction-to-lead thermal resistance (RJL) of 20°C/W and a steady-state power dissipation (PD) of 5.0 W at lead temperature (TL) ≤ 75°C. Above 75°C, PD derates linearly at 20 mW/°C, as shown in Figure 4 of the datasheet - essential for thermal design in enclosed industrial enclosures.
Does MPTE-005G meet RoHS and lead-free soldering requirements?
Yes, MPTE-005G is supplied in a Pb-free Surmetic axial package compliant with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. It supports lead-free soldering at 230°C for 10 seconds at 1/16″ from the case, per ON Semiconductor's Soldering and Mounting Techniques Reference Manual (SOLDERRM/D).
How does MPTE-005G compare to SMAJ5.0A in terms of surge capability?
MPTE-005G delivers 1500 W peak pulse power at 1 ms, significantly exceeding the 400 W rating of SMAJ5.0A. Its axial Case 41A package also provides higher thermal mass and lower thermal resistance (20°C/W vs. ~50°C/W for SMA), making MPTE-005G better suited for high-energy, infrequent surges in industrial power systems where SMAJ5.0A would require parallel staging.
