Product details
Overview
NZQA5V6AXV5T1G from onsemi is a unidirectional ESD protection diode array in SOT-553 package, designed for transient overvoltage suppression on four independent signal lines. It features 3 V working peak reverse voltage, 5.6 V nominal breakdown voltage at 1 mA, clamping voltage of 13 V at 1.6 A peak pulse current, and IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 ESD compliance (±8 kV contact). It is used in USB 1.1/2.0 low/full-speed ports and space-constrained portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the NZQA5V6AXV5T1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include clamping voltage under IEC 61000-4-2 surge, leakage current at 3 V standoff, capacitance at 0 V bias (7.0 pF), and compatibility with four-line unidirectional protection layouts in high-density PCB designs.
Technical Context
This device integrates four independent unidirectional ESD protection diodes in a single SOT-553 package, each configured as anode-to-rail cathode-to-line. It operates with a 3 V stand-off voltage to avoid interference with 3.3 V logic signaling while maintaining fast response to ESD transients.
The clamping behavior is characterized per IEC 61000-4-2 waveform (8 kV contact discharge), delivering 13 V max clamping at 1.6 A peak pulse current. Its 7.0 pF typical capacitance at 0 V bias ensures minimal signal integrity impact on USB and serial interfaces up to full-speed (12 Mbps) data rates.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Stand-off Voltage | 3.0 V - Ensures no conduction during normal 3.3 V logic operation |
| Breakdown Voltage | 5.6 V (nominal) @ 1 mA - Defines turn-on threshold for transient suppression |
| Clamping Voltage | 13 V max @ 1.6 A IPP - Limits line voltage during ±8 kV IEC 61000-4-2 ESD event |
| Leakage Current | 1.0 µA max @ 3.0 V - Minimizes standby power loss and signal loading |
| Capacitance | 7.0 pF typ @ 0 V - Preserves signal integrity on USB 1.1/2.0 full-speed lines |
| ESD Rating | IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 (±8 kV contact) - Meets industrial and consumer equipment immunity requirements |
| Peak Pulse Power | 20 W (non-repetitive) - Handles single-event surges without degradation |
Pinout & Package
SOT-553 (Case 463B), 1.60 mm × 1.20 mm × 0.55 mm, 5-pin surface-mount package with exposed pad not present. Pin 1 is ANODE 1, Pin 2 is NC, Pin 3 is ANODE 2, Pin 4 is CATHODE 2, Pin 5 is CATHODE 1 - matching Style 3 marking diagram in onsemi mechanical drawing.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPD4E05U06DQAR | Lower capacitance (0.5 pF typ), higher stand-off (5.5 V), same SOT-563 package but 6-pin | Better suited for high-speed USB 3.0/PCIe; less ideal for 3.3 V logic due to higher VRWM | Select when protecting >1 Gbps differential signals; avoid if 3.0 V stand-off is required for 3.3 V rail margin |
| ESD5Z3.3T5G | Single-channel, 3.3 V stand-off, SOD-523 package, 12 V clamping @ 1 A | Requires four separate placements; lacks integrated 4-line coordination and common layout optimization | Choose only when board space allows discrete placement or when mixed voltage rails require individual biasing |
Compared with TPD4E05U06DQAR and ESD5Z3.3T5G, the NZQA5V6AXV5T1G provides optimized 3.0 V stand-off for 3.3 V systems, integrated 4-line routing in one footprint, and validated USB 1.1/2.0 compatibility - making it preferred for cost-sensitive, space-constrained embedded USB endpoints.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the NZQA5V6AXV5T1G under IEC 61000-4-2 testing?
The NZQA5V6AXV5T1G exhibits a maximum clamping voltage of 13 V when subjected to an IEC 61000-4-2 ±8 kV contact discharge event at 1.6 A peak pulse current. This value is measured across the diode terminals during the transient pulse and is specified in the Electrical Characteristics table of the official onsemi datasheet (Rev. 9, September 2025). The clamping performance ensures downstream ICs remain within safe operating voltage limits.
Does the NZQA5V6AXV5T1G support bidirectional signal lines like USB D+ and D−?
The NZQA5V6AXV5T1G is configured as a unidirectional ESD protection array, with each channel consisting of an anode-to-rail and cathode-to-line structure. It is intended for use with single-ended or ground-referenced signals. For true bidirectional lines such as USB D+/D−, external design considerations - including proper rail referencing and complementary placement - are required; the device itself does not provide symmetrical clamping in both directions.
What is the thermal resistance (RJA) of the NZQA5V6AXV5T1G in standard FR-4 mounting?
The NZQA5V6AXV5T1G has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RJA) of 327 °C/W when mounted on a standard FR-4 PCB with minimum copper pad area, as specified in the Maximum Ratings table. This value reflects worst-case convection-only cooling and supports derating calculations for steady-state power dissipation - particularly relevant when multiple channels conduct simultaneously under sustained surge conditions.
Is the NZQA5V6AXV5T1G compliant with USB 2.0 full-speed signaling requirements?
Yes, the NZQA5V6AXV5T1G complies with USB 1.1 low-speed and full-speed specifications, as explicitly stated in the Features section of the onsemi datasheet. Its 7.0 pF typical capacitance at 0 V bias and low leakage (<1.0 µA at 3.0 V) ensure minimal signal distortion and timing skew on 12 Mbps full-speed USB data lines, meeting the electrical interface requirements defined in the USB specification.
What does the "T1G" suffix indicate in the NZQA5V6AXV5T1G part number?
The "T1G" suffix in NZQA5V6AXV5T1G denotes tape-and-reel packaging (T1) and Pb-free construction (G), per onsemi's ordering nomenclature. Specifically, T1 indicates 4000 units per reel, and G confirms RoHS-compliant, lead-free termination finish. This matches the ordering information in Table 1 of the datasheet and distinguishes it from the non-Pb-free NZQA5V6AXV5T1 variant.
