Product details
Overview
NSPU2131MUT5G from onsemi is a unidirectional ESD protection diode in UDFN2 (1.6 × 1.0 mm) package, rated for ±30 kV IEC61000−4−2 contact discharge, 90 A IEC61000−4−5 lightning surge, and 13.5 V working reverse voltage - deployed to safeguard high-speed USB 2.0, HDMI, and audio data lines against electrostatic damage.
For engineers reviewing the NSPU2131MUT5G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include clamping voltage at 8–16 A TLP (15.8–16.2 V), junction capacitance (550–650 pF), dynamic resistance (0.05 Ω), and RoHS-compliant Pb-free UDFN2 footprint compatibility with space-constrained portable interfaces.
Technical Context
This device operates as a single-channel, cathode-to-ground unidirectional TVS diode, with breakdown initiated at 13.6 V (min) and clamping sustained below 23 V at 90 A 8/20 µs surge. Its low dynamic resistance (0.05 Ω) ensures rapid voltage suppression during sub-100 ns ESD transients.
Designed for I/O line protection in consumer electronics, it meets IEC61000−4−2 Level 4 (±30 kV contact) and IEC61000−4−5 (90 A, 8/20 µs), while maintaining 550–650 pF capacitance at 0 V bias - enabling use on 480 Mbps USB 2.0 signals without signal integrity degradation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Working Reverse Voltage | 13.5 V - maximum continuous DC voltage applied before leakage exceeds 0.5 µA; sets upper limit for protected signal swing. |
| Breakdown Voltage | 13.6–17.5 V @ 1 mA - defines turn-on threshold; ensures conduction begins before downstream IC damage occurs. |
| Clamping Voltage | 15.8 V @ 8 A TLP - peak voltage seen by protected IC during IEC Level 2 ESD event; critical for 3.3 V/5 V interface survival. |
| Peak Pulse Current | 90 A @ 8/20 µs - withstands IEC61000−4−5 lightning surges without failure; validated per Figure 10 waveform. |
| Junction Capacitance | 550–650 pF @ 0 V, 1 MHz - low enough for <1% signal attenuation on USB 2.0 differential pairs at 480 Mbps. |
| Dynamic Resistance | 0.05 Ω - enables fast, low-voltage clamping response under high di/dt ESD conditions. |
Pinout & Package
NSPU2131MUT5G uses the UDFN2 (Case 517CZ) 2-pin package: 1.6 mm × 1.0 mm × 0.5 mm body, 0.55 mm pitch, with exposed thermal pad not connected internally. Pin 1 is Cathode; Pin 2 is Anode.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Cathode | Connected to system ground; provides low-impedance path for ESD current during positive transients on protected line. |
| Pin 2 | Anode | Connected to protected I/O line (e.g., USB D+, HDMI TMDS+); reverse-biased during normal operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| IEC61000−4−2 Level 4 ESD protection | ±30 kV contact discharge - exceeds industrial and consumer immunity requirements without external circuitry. |
| Low clamping voltage at 16 A TLP | 16.2 V - limits stress on 3.3 V logic inputs during worst-case ESD events per IEC Level 4 equivalence. |
| Ultra-low dynamic resistance | 0.05 Ω - minimizes voltage overshoot during fast-rising ESD pulses (<1 ns rise time). |
| Pb-free, Halogen-free, RoHS-compliant | Meets IPC-J-STD-609 Class 3 moisture sensitivity and JEDEC J-STD-020 reflow profile for lead-free assembly. |
Applications
| USB 2.0 Interface Protection | HDMI Data Line Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting USB 2.0 D+ and D− lines in smartphones, tablets, and docking stations from user-hand ESD events. IC Role / Device Role: Unidirectional shunt clamp between signal line and ground, activated only during overvoltage. Use Value: Clamps to ≤16.2 V at 16 A TLP while adding only 600 pF capacitance - preserves eye diagram integrity at 480 Mbps. | Use Scenario: Safeguarding HDMI TMDS+ and TMDS− channels in TVs, monitors, and set-top boxes against cable-discharge events. IC Role / Device Role: Low-capacitance transient voltage suppressor placed directly at HDMI connector pins. Use Value: 550–650 pF capacitance avoids signal rise-time degradation; 90 A surge rating handles hot-plug induced transients. |
| Audio Jack ESD Protection | Industrial Control I/O Protection |
Use Scenario: Shielding 3.5 mm audio jack tip/ring contacts in laptops and headsets from repeated plug/unplug ESD. IC Role / Device Role: Ground-referenced unidirectional TVS diode on each analog audio path. Use Value: 13.5 V VRWM allows full swing of ±12 V audio signals; 30 kV contact rating prevents jack corrosion-induced failures. | Use Scenario: Protecting RS-232 or CAN FD transceiver I/O pins in factory automation controllers exposed to maintenance personnel ESD. IC Role / Device Role: Primary front-end ESD clamp before signal conditioning circuitry. Use Value: −65 °C to +150 °C operating range supports extended temperature industrial deployment; RoHS compliance meets EU machinery directives. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ESD5Z3.3T5G | Lower VRWM (3.3 V), higher capacitance (1000 pF), same UDFN2 package | Better suited for 3.3 V logic rails; unsuitable for 12–15 V analog/audio lines | Select when protecting low-voltage digital I/O where clamping below 5 V is mandatory. |
| SMAJ15A | DO-214AC package, 15 V VBR, 400 W peak power, 1000 pF capacitance | Larger footprint; used in board-level surge protection, not high-speed data lines | Choose for cost-sensitive industrial power rail protection where PCB area and speed are secondary. |
Compared with ESD5Z3.3T5G and SMAJ15A, NSPU2131MUT5G uniquely balances 13.5 V working voltage, sub-650 pF capacitance, and UDFN2 size - making it optimal for mixed-signal interfaces requiring both analog headroom and digital bandwidth.

FAQ
What is the maximum working voltage supported by NSPU2131MUT5G?
The NSPU2131MUT5G has a working peak reverse voltage (VRWM) of 13.5 V, meaning it can safely block up to 13.5 V DC or peak AC signals during normal operation without significant leakage. This makes NSPU2131MUT5G appropriate for protecting 12 V analog audio paths and 5 V/3.3 V digital interfaces where transient headroom is required. Exceeding VRWM risks premature conduction and increased power dissipation.
Does NSPU2131MUT5G support bidirectional ESD protection?
No, NSPU2131MUT5G is a unidirectional ESD protection diode, configured as a cathode-to-ground device. It protects against positive transients on the anode (Pin 2) relative to ground (Pin 1), but does not clamp negative excursions beyond its forward voltage (~0.7 V). For bidirectional protection, two NSPU2131MUT5G devices in series opposition or a dedicated bidirectional part like ESD7L5.0DT5G would be required.
What is the junction capacitance of NSPU2131MUT5G and how does it affect high-speed signals?
The NSPU2131MUT5G exhibits 550–650 pF junction capacitance at 0 V bias and 1 MHz. This low value minimizes loading on high-speed differential pairs: for USB 2.0 (480 Mbps), it introduces <1% rise-time degradation and preserves signal integrity within USB compliance margins. Designers should place NSPU2131MUT5G as close as possible to the connector to avoid stub-induced impedance discontinuities.
Can NSPU2131MUT5G handle IEC61000−4−5 lightning surges?
Yes, NSPU2131MUT5G is rated for 90 A peak pulse current under the IEC61000−4−5 8/20 µs waveform at 25°C ambient. Its clamping voltage remains ≤23 V at 90 A, ensuring downstream ICs see limited overvoltage. However, for sustained surge environments (e.g., outdoor Ethernet), NSPU2131MUT5G should be paired with upstream GDT or polymer PTC for energy sharing - as it is optimized for fast ESD, not long-duration surges.
Is NSPU2131MUT5G compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
Yes, NSPU2131MUT5G is Pb-free, halogen-free, and RoHS-compliant, qualified for standard lead-free reflow profiles per JEDEC J-STD-020. Its UDFN2 package supports peak temperatures up to 260°C for 30 seconds. The device's moisture sensitivity level (MSL) is Level 1 - unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/85% RH - simplifying manufacturing handling without baking requirements.
