Product details
Overview
NNCD6.8ST-T1-AT from Renesas Electronics is an ESD noise clipping diode designed for bidirectional transient suppression on CAN bus lines, featuring a 6.8 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 50 pF capacitance at 0 V, and 85 W surge reverse power handling with 10 μs pulse width. It uses a 3-pin SC-70 (Super Mini Mold) package and complies with IEC61000-4-2 for system-level ESD protection in automotive and industrial CAN networks.
For engineers reviewing the NNCD6.8ST-T1-AT datasheet, NNCD6.8ST-T1-AT pinout, NNCD6.8ST-T1-AT application, or NNCD6.8ST-T1-AT equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional clamping voltage, low capacitance for high-speed CAN signal integrity, SC-70 mountability, and IEC61000-4-2 Level 4 compliance - all confirmed for this exact part number.
Technical Context
The NNCD6.8ST-T1-AT implements a symmetric dual-Zener structure enabling equal positive/negative clamping behavior, with a minimum breakdown voltage of 6 V and maximum of 8 V at 5 mA test current. Its 50 pF capacitance at 0 V and 1 MHz ensures minimal signal distortion on CAN H/CAN L differential pairs operating up to 1 Mbps.
It delivers 85 W non-repetitive surge reverse power (tT = 10 μs) and operates within −55°C to +150°C storage temperature range, supporting automotive-grade thermal environments. The device is Pb-free, with pure Sn lead plating and tape-and-reel packaging (3000 pcs/reel).

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ESD noise clipping diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPD2E001DRYR | Lower VBR (5.5 V min), 12 pF capacitance, 2-pin SOT-553 package | Better suited for USB/low-voltage I/O; insufficient surge rating (12 W) for CAN bus | Select only if protecting sub-5 V logic interfaces - not recommended for CAN H/L clamping |
| ESDA6V1SC6 | 6.1 V VBR, 30 pF, 3-pin SOT-363, 30 W PRSM | Lower surge capability limits use to non-automotive CAN nodes with reduced ESD threat level | Acceptable for cost-sensitive industrial CAN nodes where ISO 16750-2 compliance is not required |
Compared with TPD2E001DRYR and ESDA6V1SC6, the NNCD6.8ST-T1-AT provides uniquely high 85 W surge power handling and ±30 kV ESD rating in SC-70, making it the only option qualified for automotive CAN bus front-end protection per OEM specifications.

FAQ
What is the exact breakdown voltage range specified for NNCD6.8ST-T1-AT?
The NNCD6.8ST-T1-AT has a guaranteed breakdown voltage range of 6 V to 8 V at 5 mA test current, measured with a 40 ms pulse per the D18881EJ1V0DS datasheet. This tight VBR window ensures predictable clamping behavior on CAN bus lines and distinguishes NNCD6.8ST-T1-AT from higher-voltage variants like NNCD18ST-T1-AT (16–20 V). All VBR values are validated per unit during production screening.
Does NNCD6.8ST-T1-AT support bidirectional ESD protection on CAN differential pairs?
Yes, NNCD6.8ST-T1-AT implements a monolithic dual-Zener structure with symmetrical anode-cathode terminals (Pin 2 and Pin 3) referenced to a common center pin (Pin 1), enabling true bidirectional clamping. This architecture allows simultaneous suppression of positive transients on CAN H and negative transients on CAN L without polarity dependency - a core requirement for CAN bus physical layer protection.
What is the maximum allowable capacitance of NNCD6.8ST-T1-AT and why does it matter for CAN bus design?
NNCD6.8ST-T1-AT has a typical capacitance of 50 pF at 0 V and 1 MHz. This value is critical because excessive capacitance distorts CAN signal edges, increases bit error rates, and violates ISO 11898-2 timing margins. At 50 pF, NNCD6.8ST-T1-AT maintains clean 1 Mbps waveform integrity while providing robust ESD clamping - a balance unattainable with higher-capacitance alternatives like standard TVS diodes (>100 pF).
Is NNCD6.8ST-T1-AT compliant with automotive ESD standards such as IEC61000-4-2?
Yes, NNCD6.8ST-T1-AT is explicitly rated for ±30 kV contact discharge per IEC61000-4-2, exceeding Level 4 (±8 kV contact / ±15 kV air) required by most automotive OEMs. This rating is confirmed in the D18881EJ1V0DS datasheet and validated through third-party ESD testing on production lots. The device's symmetric structure ensures equal performance for both polarities.
What package type and mounting footprint does NNCD6.8ST-T1-AT use?
NNCD6.8ST-T1-AT uses the SC-70 (3-pin Super Mini Mold) package, with body dimensions of 2.1 mm × 1.25 mm × 0.9 mm and 0.65 mm pin pitch. Its recommended mount pad layout is provided in Figure 2 of D18881EJ1V0DS, specifying 0.65 mm × 1.3 mm solder pads with 0.6 mm spacing - optimized for reflow compatibility and mechanical reliability in automotive vibration environments.
