Product details
Overview
NNCD6.8PL-T1-A from NEC Electronics is a quad-channel ESD noise clipping diode in a 5-pin Super Small Mini Mold (flat lead) package, featuring common-anode configuration, 6.2–7.1 V breakdown voltage, ≤90 pF capacitance at 0 V, and 30 kV IEC61000-4-2 contact discharge endurance-designed for high-density external interface circuit protection in USB, HDMI, and audio jack applications.
For engineers reviewing the NNCD6.8PL-T1-A datasheet, NNCD6.8PL-T1-A pinout, NNCD6.8PL-T1-A application, or NNCD6.8PL-T1-A equivalent, key selection criteria include verified 30 kV ESD immunity, low 90 pF inter-electrode capacitance, quad common-anode topology for compact 4-line protection, and compatibility with automated SMT assembly on space-constrained PCBs.
Technical Context
This device implements four independent Zener-type clamping diodes sharing a single anode terminal, enabling simultaneous transient suppression across four signal lines without cross-coupling. Its low 90 pF capacitance at 0 V and fast response ensure minimal signal distortion for high-speed interfaces up to 100 Mbps.
The 5-pin flat-lead package supports reflow soldering and achieves thermal resistance of 625°C/W on standard glass-epoxy boards. Each cathode-anode junction meets IEC61000-4-2 Level 4 (30 kV contact), with surge power rating of 85 W for 10 µs pulses.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ESD protection diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPD4E001DRYR | Lower 15 pF capacitance but rated only to 12 kV IEC61000-4-2; uses different 5-pin X2SON package | Preferred for USB 3.0/PCIe where ultra-low Ct is critical; insufficient for 30 kV industrial environments | Select when signal bandwidth >1 GHz required and ESD threat level ≤12 kV |
| ESD5Z7.0T1G | Single-channel, same 6.8 V nominal breakdown and 30 kV rating; SOD-523 package requires 4× footprint area | Suitable for low-volume prototyping where board space is not constrained and manual rework is acceptable | Choose for cost-sensitive designs with low channel count or where quad integration adds unnecessary complexity |
Compared with TPD4E001DRYR and ESD5Z7.0T1G, the NNCD6.8PL-T1-A uniquely delivers certified 30 kV robustness in a space-saving quad configuration-enabling single-component protection of full USB 2.0 ports or HDMI connectors without sacrificing signal fidelity or thermal margin.

FAQ
What is the exact breakdown voltage range specified for NNCD6.8PL-T1-A?
The NNCD6.8PL-T1-A has a guaranteed breakdown voltage range of 6.2 V to 7.1 V at 5 mA test current, measured across each individual cathode-to-anode junction (K1–A, K2–A, etc.). This range ensures consistent clamping behavior across all four channels and aligns with standard 5 V interface rail protection requirements.
Does NNCD6.8PL-T1-A support both contact and air discharge per IEC61000-4-2?
The NNCD6.8PL-T1-A datasheet explicitly certifies ≥30 kV contact discharge per IEC61000-4-2. Air discharge rating is not specified in the official documentation; design-in for air discharge scenarios must be validated empirically or with supplemental protection, as the device's qualification is limited to contact mode.
Can NNCD6.8PL-T1-A be used in automotive applications?
The NNCD6.8PL-T1-A is rated for storage temperatures from −55°C to +150°C and junction temperatures up to 150°C, meeting under-hood thermal requirements. However, it lacks AEC-Q200 qualification and is classified as "Standard" grade per NEC's quality policy-making it suitable for non-safety-critical automotive accessories but not for ADAS or powertrain systems.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for NNCD6.8PL-T1-A at 3.3 V?
At VR = 3.5 V (the maximum specified reverse voltage for leakage testing), the NNCD6.8PL-T1-A exhibits ≤2 µA reverse leakage per channel. At 3.3 V-commonly used in modern I/O rails-leakage is typically <1.5 µA per cathode-anode junction, ensuring negligible standby current impact on battery-powered devices.
Is the NNCD6.8PL-T1-A compatible with lead-free reflow soldering profiles?
Yes, the NNCD6.8PL-T1-A uses matte tin-plated gull-wing leads and is qualified for standard lead-free reflow processes, including peak temperatures up to 260°C for 10 seconds. Its thermal impedance profile (625°C/W) and package construction support reliable joint formation without delamination or voiding under IPC-J-STD-020D conditions.
