Product details
Overview
PACDN043Y4R from onsemi is a 4-pin ESD protection diode array in SOT-143 package, rated for ±20 kV IEC 61000-4-2 contact discharge and ±30 kV HBM ESD, with 5.5 V reverse stand-off voltage and 30 pF capacitance - deployed for robust transient suppression on exposed interface lines such as USB and serial ports.
For engineers reviewing the PACDN043Y4R datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include clamping voltage (±0.4 V to −1.2 V at ±10 mA), low leakage (<100 nA at 5 V), GND-referenced cathode architecture, and compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts requiring discrete ESD hardening.
Technical Context
The PACDN043Y4R implements a quad-channel ESD protection topology with three cathodes and one shared GND terminal, configured specifically for bidirectional transient suppression on three independent signal lines referenced to common ground. Its internal structure uses silicon avalanche diodes optimized for fast response (<1 ns) and low dynamic resistance (1.0–1.4 Ω).
It operates across −40 °C to +85 °C and supports system-level compliance with IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 (±8 kV contact) while sustaining ±20 kV per-pin contact discharge - all without derating under standard board-mount thermal conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| ESD Rating (IEC 61000-4-2) | ±20 kV contact discharge per pin - ensures survivability against real-world handling ESD events without latch-up or degradation. |
| Reverse Stand-off Voltage (VRWM) | 5.5 V typical - defines maximum continuous working voltage before conduction begins; compatible with 5 V logic and USB 2.0 signaling. |
| Clamp Voltage (VCL) | +6.2 V / −0.4 V at ±10 mA - limits peak transient voltage seen by downstream ICs during ESD strike, preserving signal integrity. |
| Diode Capacitance | 30 pF at 2.5 VDC, 1 MHz - low enough for high-speed interfaces like USB Full-Speed (12 Mbps) without signal distortion. |
| Leakage Current | ≤100 nA at 5.0 VDC - negligible loading on sensitive analog or low-power digital inputs. |
| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +85 °C - validated for industrial-grade embedded systems and consumer port applications. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-143 (Case 527AF), 4-lead surface-mount package measuring 2.90 × 1.30 × 0.90 mm with 1.92 mm pitch; Pb-free, RoHS-compliant, and marked with device code and date code.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode | ESD protection node for first signal line; connects directly to protected trace (e.g., USB D+). |
| 2 | Cathode | ESD protection node for second signal line; electrically isolated from Pin 1, shares GND return path. |
| 3 | GND | Anode connection for all internal diodes; must be low-inductance path to system ground plane. |
| 4 | Cathode | ESD protection node for third signal line; completes triple-channel configuration with common GND reference. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triple-channel ESD protection | Three independent cathodes share one GND terminal - enables compact protection of three signal lines without discrete diode arrays or extra layout area. |
| Low clamping voltage asymmetry | Negative clamp at −0.4 V (typ.) minimizes undershoot on signal lines during negative ESD transients, reducing risk of false triggering or latch-up. |
| Ultra-low capacitance | 30 pF ensures minimal signal rise-time degradation on 12 Mbps USB and RS-232/485 interfaces. |
| High ESD immunity margin | ±20 kV contact rating exceeds IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 by 150%, providing design headroom for field reliability and long-term wear-out tolerance. |
| Pb-free & RoHS-compliant | Meets global environmental regulations and reflow soldering profiles up to 260 °C peak temperature. |
Applications
| USB 2.0 Full-Speed Interface | Industrial Serial Port Protection |
|---|---|
|

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 | Single-channel, 3.3 V VRWM, 0.45 pF capacitance, SOD-523 package | Lower voltage rating and single-line protection - requires three devices for same channel count as PACDN043Y4R | Preferred when protecting 3.3 V-only interfaces with ultra-high-speed requirements (e.g., HDMI DDC lines). |
| TPD2E001DRSR | Dual-channel, 5 V VRWM, 12 pF capacitance, SOT-23-6 package, integrated ESD + EMI filter | Includes RC filtering but only two channels; higher cost per protected line | Chosen when combined ESD/EMI mitigation is required on differential pairs, and board space allows larger footprint. |
Compared with ESD5Z3.3T5G and TPD2E001DRSR, PACDN043Y4R delivers triple-channel protection in a single 4-pin SOT-143 footprint with balanced ±20 kV immunity and 30 pF capacitance - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained 5 V interface hardening where channel count and layout efficiency are critical.

FAQ
What is the pin configuration of PACDN043Y4R?
PACDN043Y4R uses a 4-pin SOT-143 package with Pins 1, 2, and 4 as independent cathodes for three signal lines, and Pin 3 as the shared anode (GND) connection. This configuration enables simultaneous protection of three traces with a single ground return, minimizing PCB routing complexity and inductance.
Does PACDN043Y4R meet IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 requirements?
Yes, PACDN043Y4R exceeds IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4, with a certified ±20 kV contact discharge rating per pin - double the ±8 kV minimum required for Level 4. This performance is validated per the datasheet's test conditions using one-pin-at-a-time ESD injection with all other pins open and GND pins grounded.
Can PACDN043Y4R be used for USB 2.0 High-Speed (480 Mbps) applications?
No, PACDN043Y4R is not recommended for USB 2.0 High-Speed due to its 30 pF capacitance, which introduces excessive signal distortion above ~48 MHz. It is qualified for USB Full-Speed (12 Mbps) and lower-bandwidth interfaces such as RS-232, RS-485, and legacy audio/data docking ports.
What is the maximum continuous operating voltage for PACDN043Y4R?
The maximum continuous reverse stand-off voltage (VRWM) of PACDN043Y4R is 5.5 V (typical), with a guaranteed minimum of 5.5 V and maximum of 6.1 V at 1 mA. This makes it suitable for 5 V nominal systems but not for 12 V or 3.3 V-only rails without derating analysis.
Is PACDN043Y4R still in active production?
Yes, PACDN043Y4R remains active and available in tape-and-reel packaging (3000 units per reel). Although the datasheet revision notes discontinuation of several sibling variants (e.g., PACDN044TR), PACDN043Y4R is explicitly listed as an active ordering option in the "Ordering Information" table on page 5 of the datasheet.
