Product details
Overview
NUP5120X6T2GH from onsemi is a 5-line ESD protection diode array in SOT-563 package, featuring monolithic common-anode architecture, 5.0 V reverse working voltage, 6.2–7.2 V breakdown voltage at 1 mA, and IEC 61000-4-2 compliance (15 kV air / 8 kV contact). It protects serial/parallel ports and handheld interfaces against transient surges in portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the NUP5120X6T2GH datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include clamping voltage under 16 V at 10 A IPP, 54–70 pF line-to-GND capacitance at 1 MHz, and Class 3B HBM ESD rating exceeding 8 kV - critical for USB, HDMI, and low-voltage I/O port hardening.
Technical Context
This device implements a single common-anode, five-cathode topology enabling simultaneous protection of five independent signal lines with shared ground reference. Its silicon structure delivers fast response to ESD transients (<1 ns) and handles 90 W peak power (8/20 µs waveform) without latch-up.
Designed for low-capacitance interface protection, it maintains ≤70 pF per line at 0 V bias and drops to ≤54 pF at 2.5 V reverse bias - preserving signal integrity for high-speed data lines up to 100 Mbps. The 5.0 V VRWM ensures compatibility with 3.3 V and 5 V logic systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRWM | 5.0 V - Maximum continuous operating voltage before conduction; matches 3.3 V I/O rails with margin. |
| VBR (IT = 1 mA) | 6.2–7.2 V - Ensures reliable turn-on during ESD events while avoiding false triggering. |
| VCL @ IPP = 10 A | <16 V - Clamps transient energy below IC damage threshold for protected downstream logic. |
| CJ @ 1 MHz, 0 V | 54–70 pF - Low enough for USB 2.0 and UART signals; minimizes signal distortion. |
| ESD Rating (HBM) | >8 kV - Meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 for system-level ESD immunity. |
| Package | SOT-563 - 1.60 × 1.20 × 0.55 mm, 0.50 mm pitch; enables dense PCB layout for multi-line ports. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-563 (Case 463A) is a 6-pin, surface-mount, Pb-free plastic package with 0.50 mm lead pitch and 1.60 mm × 1.20 mm footprint. Pin 2 is the common anode; pins 1, 3–6 are individual cathodes for five protected lines.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (Line 1) | ESD current path for first protected signal line; connects to I/O trace. |
| 2 | Common Anode | Shared connection to system ground or TVS return; defines reference for all five lines. |
| 3 | Cathode (Line 2) | Independent ESD path for second signal line; electrically isolated from other cathodes. |
| 4 | Cathode (Line 3) | Third dedicated ESD shunt; supports routing of separate data/control lines. |
| 5 | Cathode (Line 4) | Fourth low-capacitance ESD path; suitable for bidirectional or clock signals. |
| 6 | Cathode (Line 5) | Fifth protected line; completes full 5-line coverage in minimal board area. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ESD5Z5.0T1G | Single-line SOD-523; 5.0 V VRWM; 12 pF typical capacitance; lower peak power (24 W). | Requires five devices for same line count; better for ultra-high-speed (>1 Gbps) lines but higher BOM cost and layout area. | Select when lowest possible capacitance is mandatory and board space allows discrete placement per line. |
| CM1224-05SO | 5-line SO-8 package; 5.5 V VRWM; 15 pF typical capacitance; 100 W peak power; larger footprint (4.9 × 6.0 mm). | Better thermal dissipation for repetitive surges; incompatible pinout; not drop-in for SOT-563 layouts. | Choose for industrial systems requiring higher surge endurance where PCB real estate permits larger package. |
Compared with ESD5Z5.0T1G and CM1224-05SO, the NUP5120X6T2GH uniquely balances 5-line integration, SOT-563 miniaturization, and 90 W surge capability - making it optimal for space-constrained consumer port protection where moderate speed and robustness are jointly required.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the NUP5120X6T2GH at 10 A peak current?
The NUP5120X6T2GH clamps to less than 16 V at 10 A peak pulse current (IPP), as specified in Figure 3 of the official datasheet. This value ensures downstream 3.3 V or 5 V logic components remain within safe operating limits during ESD or surge events. The clamping performance is consistent across all five protected lines due to monolithic matching, and the NUP5120X6T2GH maintains this behavior over its full operating temperature range (−40 °C to +125 °C).
Does the NUP5120X6T2GH support IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 ESD immunity?
Yes, the NUP5120X6T2GH is fully compliant with IEC 61000-4-2:2008, achieving 15 kV air discharge and 8 kV contact discharge - meeting Level 4 system-level ESD immunity requirements. This certification is validated per the test methodology in the datasheet and applies to each of the five protected lines independently. The NUP5120X6T2GH achieves this without external components, making it suitable for final-certified designs targeting CE, FCC, or UL marking.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for the NUP5120X6T2GH at 3 V bias?
The NUP5120X6T2GH exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current of 0.5 µA at VRWM = 3 V and TJ = 25 °C, with typical values near 0.01 µA. This ultralow leakage prevents signal integrity degradation or battery drain in always-on portable interfaces. The NUP5120X6T2GH maintains sub-microamp leakage even at elevated temperatures, supporting reliable operation in handheld devices with tight power budgets.
Can the NUP5120X6T2GH be used to protect high-speed differential pairs like USB 2.0 D+ and D−?
Yes, the NUP5120X6T2GH is qualified for USB 2.0 D+ and D− line protection, with typical capacitance of 54–70 pF per line at 0 V bias and 1 MHz. Its low capacitance preserves signal rise/fall times and eye opening for 480 Mbps data rates. The NUP5120X6T2GH's matched cathode characteristics ensure balanced clamping on both lines, preventing common-mode skew that could trigger receiver errors.
Is the NUP5120X6T2GH RoHS-compliant and halogen-free?
Yes, the NUP5120X6T2GH is a Pb-free, RoHS-compliant device manufactured in accordance with Directive 2011/65/EU and meets J-STD-609 Category 1 for halogen content. The SOT-563 package carries the "G" suffix indicating lead-free finish, and the device passes JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL1) requirements. The NUP5120X6T2GH is rated for 260 °C solder reflow and supports standard automated assembly processes without special handling.
