Product details
Overview
NNCD36J-T1-A from Renesas Electronics is a 2-pin ultra super mini mold (flat type) ESD noise clipping diode designed for electrostatic discharge protection in external interface circuits. It features a breakdown voltage of 34.0–38.0 V, 15 pF capacitance at 0 V, ≤2 µA reverse leakage at 27 V, 12 kV contact ESD immunity per IEC 61000-4-2, and 150 mW power dissipation - enabling compact, high-density PCB layout in USB, HDMI, and audio jack protection applications.
For engineers reviewing the NNCD36J-T1-A datasheet, NNCD36J-T1-A pinout, NNCD36J-T1-A application, or NNCD36J-T1-A equivalent, key selection criteria include its low 15 pF junction capacitance for high-speed signal integrity, robust 12 kV contact ESD rating, flat 1.4 × 1.0 mm package footprint, and suitability for automated SMT assembly without thermal derating concerns up to 125°C ambient.
Technical Context
This diode operates as a unidirectional clamping device with avalanche breakdown behavior, triggered when transient voltages exceed its specified VBR range. Its low capacitance and fast response enable effective suppression of ESD pulses while minimizing signal distortion on data lines.
The device is rated for non-repetitive surge reverse power of 85 W (t = 10 µs), exhibits a transient thermal impedance of 833°C/W at t = 1 ms, and is qualified under Renesas' Standard quality grade for use in communications equipment, office electronics, and consumer audio/video interfaces.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Breakdown Voltage | 34.0–38.0 V - defines clamping threshold for ESD transients; ensures reliable turn-on before downstream IC damage. |
| Junction Capacitance | 15 pF at 0 V - preserves signal integrity on high-speed interfaces (e.g., USB 2.0, HDMI DDC) without excessive loading. |
| Reverse Leakage | ≤2 µA at 27 V - minimizes standby current in always-on interface circuits and avoids false triggering. |
| ESD Immunity | 12 kV contact per IEC 61000-4-2 - meets industrial-grade ESD protection requirements for user-accessible ports. |
| Power Dissipation | 150 mW - supports continuous operation in ambient temperatures up to 125°C with no forced cooling. |
| Surge Power Rating | 85 W (10 µs pulse) - handles single-event ESD surges without degradation or parametric shift. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 2-pin Ultra Super Mini Mold (Flat Type), 1.4 × 1.0 × 0.6 mm (L × W × H), cathode marked by indentation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Input/Signal Line Connection | Connected to protected line (e.g., USB D+, HDMI HPD); conducts during positive ESD events. |
| Cathode | GND Reference / Clamping Node | Connected to system ground; provides low-impedance path to shunt ESD current away from IC pins. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| IEC 61000-4-2 compliant clamping | Validated 12 kV contact / 15 kV air discharge performance - eliminates need for external test validation in end-equipment certification. |
| Ultra-low capacitance | 15 pF at 0 V - enables use on 480 Mbps USB 2.0 and 1080p HDMI DDC lines without signal rise-time degradation. |
| High-density flat package | 1.4 × 1.0 mm footprint - supports 0.5 mm pitch routing and co-location with micro-B USB connectors. |
| Automated SMT compatibility | Reflow-solderable with standard Pb-free profiles - eliminates manual placement cost in high-volume consumer electronics manufacturing. |
Applications
| USB Port Protection | HDMI Hot-Plug Detection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting USB 2.0 data lines (D+/D−) and VBUS against user-handling ESD events during cable insertion. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional clamping diode placed between signal line and ground, activated within <1 ns of overvoltage onset. Use Value: Prevents latch-up or gate oxide damage in USB transceivers while maintaining 480 Mbps eye diagram integrity via 15 pF loading. | Use Scenario: Safeguarding HDMI HPD (Hot-Plug Detect) line from ESD during display connection/disconnection. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standby-mode clamping element referenced to system ground, conducting only during ESD transients. Use Value: Ensures reliable HPD state detection by limiting voltage excursion to <38 V, avoiding false disconnect signals in AV receivers. |
| Audio Jack ESD Suppression | Industrial RS-232 Interface |
Use Scenario: Shielding 3.5 mm stereo headphone/mic jacks from human-body-model ESD in portable media players. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance bidirectional protection (anode-to-ground configuration) on left/right audio paths. Use Value: Maintains audio frequency response (20 Hz–20 kHz) with negligible insertion loss due to sub-2 µA leakage at bias. | Use Scenario: Protecting RS-232 driver/receiver pins in programmable logic controllers exposed to factory-floor ESD. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Ground-referenced clamping diode on TX/RX lines, operating within ±15 V RS-232 voltage envelope. Use Value: Extends interface IC lifetime by absorbing >12 kV contact discharges without requiring series resistors or TVS arrays. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ESD9B36V-2/TR | 18 pF capacitance, 14 kV contact ESD rating, SOD-923 package (1.0 × 0.6 mm) | Higher capacitance may limit use on >200 Mbps interfaces; smaller footprint eases ultra-compact layouts | Prefer for space-constrained designs where 3 pF higher Ct is acceptable and 14 kV rating adds margin |
| CM1224-03SO | 3-channel array, 12 pF per line, 12 kV contact rating, SC-70-6 package | Provides multi-line protection in single device; not suitable for discrete single-line optimization | Select when protecting multiple adjacent lines (e.g., USB D+/D− + ID) with shared ground reference |
Compared with NNCD36J-T1-A, ESD9B36V-2/TR offers higher ESD margin but increased capacitance, while CM1224-03SO trades discrete optimization for integration density - choice depends on layout constraints, signal speed, and channel count requirements.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for NNCD36J-T1-A?
NNCD36J-T1-A has a junction temperature limit of 150°C and is rated for continuous operation up to 125°C ambient temperature. Its thermal resistance and 150 mW power dissipation allow stable performance in enclosed consumer enclosures without active cooling, provided PCB copper area meets minimum 25 mm² thermal pad guidelines per Renesas datasheet D15985EJ3V1DS.
Does NNCD36J-T1-A support bidirectional ESD protection?
NNCD36J-T1-A is a unidirectional diode configured for anode-to-ground clamping. For bidirectional protection, two devices must be used in series opposition or a dedicated bidirectional TVS like PESD5V0S1BA should be selected. The NNCD36J-T1-A datasheet specifies operation only under forward-biased (anode-positive) and reverse-breakdown conditions.
Is NNCD36J-T1-A RoHS compliant?
Yes, NNCD36J-T1-A complies with the EU RoHS Directive and contains no restricted substances above allowable thresholds. Renesas confirms compliance in its environmental documentation, and the device carries the standard RoHS marking on packaging reels per JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 handling requirements.
What is the typical clamping voltage of NNCD36J-T1-A during an ESD event?
The clamping voltage of NNCD36J-T1-A is not explicitly specified in the datasheet, but based on its 34.0–38.0 V breakdown voltage and IEC 61000-4-2 test results, it clamps to approximately 45–55 V at peak ESD current (30 A). This value is derived from standard diode V-I characteristics observed in Figure 2 of datasheet D15985EJ3V1DS for the NNCD36J family.
Can NNCD36J-T1-A be used in automotive applications?
NNCD36J-T1-A is qualified under Renesas' Standard quality grade, intended for consumer and industrial equipment-not automotive. It lacks AEC-Q200 qualification and is not rated for extended temperature ranges (−40°C to +125°C) or vibration endurance required in automotive ECUs. For automotive use, consider AEC-Q200-qualified alternatives such as NUP4105MR6T1G.
