Product details
Overview
PESD24VS2UAT/ZLR from Nexperia is a unidirectional double ESD protection diode in common-cathode SOT23 configuration, designed to protect two data lines against IEC 61000-4-2 ESD (23 kV contact) and IEC 61000-4-5 surge (3 A, 8/20 µs). It features 24 V reverse stand-off voltage, 23 pF capacitance at 0 V, and clamps to 70 V at 3 A peak pulse current. Used in CAN bus and industrial data line protection.
For engineers reviewing the PESD24VS2UAT/ZLR datasheet, PESD24VS2UAT/ZLR pinout, PESD24VS2UAT/ZLR application, or PESD24VS2UAT/ZLR equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage under surge, diode capacitance for high-speed signal integrity, reverse leakage at operating temperature, ESD robustness level, and SOT23 footprint compatibility with board layout constraints.
Technical Context
This device implements a dual-anode, single-common-cathode topology optimized for unidirectional transient suppression on positive-polarity signal lines. Its low 23 pF capacitance (at VR = 0 V, f = 1 MHz) enables use on data lines up to ~100 Mbps without significant signal distortion.
The 24 V VRWM rating targets systems with nominal 24 V supply rails or higher-voltage industrial interfaces, while its 70 V clamping voltage at 3 A (8/20 µs) ensures downstream ICs see limited overvoltage during surge events. Thermal derating follows standard SOT23 junction-to-ambient characteristics, with max Tj = 150 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRWM | 24 V - Maximum continuous reverse voltage before conduction; sets minimum system operating margin for protected lines. |
| V(CL)R | 70 V at Ipp = 3 A (8/20 µs) - Peak voltage seen by protected circuit during worst-case surge; defines downstream voltage stress limit. |
| Cd | 23 pF at VR = 0 V, f = 1 MHz - Low capacitance preserves signal edge rate and minimizes insertion loss on high-speed lines. |
| IRM | <1 nA at VRWM = 24 V - Negligible leakage avoids DC loading or bias shift in precision analog or high-impedance nodes. |
| ESD Rating | 23 kV per IEC 61000-4-2 (contact discharge) - Confirmed immunity to human-body ESD events in industrial environments. |
| Package | SOT23 - Standard 3-pin surface-mount footprint enabling automated assembly and compact PCB layout near connectors. |
Pinout & Package
SOT23 plastic surface-mounted package (3 leads), dimensions per JEDEC TO-236AB: 2.9 × 1.3 × 1.0 mm (L × W × H), with gull-wing leads and standard thermal pad exposure.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode 1 | Input terminal for first protected line; connects to data line requiring unidirectional clamping to ground. |
| 2 | Anode 2 | Input terminal for second protected line; electrically isolated from Pin 1 but shares cathode path. |
| 3 | Common Cathode | Ground return path for both protection paths; must connect to low-impedance system ground near entry point. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Common-cathode dual-line protection | Enables simultaneous ESD/surge suppression on two independent signal paths using one compact SOT23 device. |
| Ultra-low capacitance (23 pF) | Maintains signal integrity on industrial serial buses (e.g., CAN FD, RS-485) without added jitter or rise-time degradation. |
| 23 kV IEC 61000-4-2 ESD rating | Exceeds Level 4 requirements for harsh industrial environments where operator handling or cable coupling induces high-energy discharges. |
| Low clamping voltage (70 V @ 3 A) | Restricts overvoltage stress on 24 V-rated transceivers or microcontroller I/O, reducing risk of latch-up or oxide damage. |
Applications
| Industrial CAN Bus Protection | RS-485 Data Line Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting CAN_H and CAN_L lines in factory automation controllers exposed to ESD from maintenance personnel or cable hot-plugging. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional transient voltage suppressor placed directly at DB9 or M12 connector entry points. Use Value: Prevents CAN transceiver failure during 23 kV contact ESD events while adding only 23 pF load per line-no impact on 1 Mbps bit timing. | Use Scenario: Safeguarding differential RS-485 receivers in building management systems connected to long outdoor runs subject to lightning-induced surges. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-line clamp limiting voltage excursion on A/B lines to ≤70 V during 3 A (8/20 µs) surge transients. Use Value: Enables compliance with IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3 without external series impedance, preserving receiver common-mode range. |
| 24 V Sensor Interface Protection | PLC Digital Input Protection |
Use Scenario: Shielding analog/digital outputs of 24 V industrial sensors (e.g., proximity switches, pressure transmitters) against field wiring ESD. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standoff protection element between sensor output and PLC input, rated for 24 V nominal operation. Use Value: Blocks >30 kV air-gap discharges while maintaining sub-nA leakage-no offset error in 4–20 mA loop sensing. | Use Scenario: Hardening discrete 24 V digital inputs on programmable logic controllers against accidental short-to-rail or induced transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: First-stage clamping device on each input channel, referenced to chassis ground before optocoupler isolation. Use Value: Reduces need for secondary TVS or RC filtering; 24 V VRWM aligns with standard PLC input voltage thresholds. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar unidirectional dual-line ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ESD24VS2U-2/TR | Same VRWM (24 V), slightly higher clamping (75 V @ 3 A); Cd = 25 pF; identical SOT23-3 package. | Valid for same CAN/RS-485 use cases but requires verification of 5 V higher clamping margin at receiver inputs. | Select if sourcing flexibility is prioritized and 75 V clamping remains within downstream IC absolute maximum ratings. |
| TPD2E001DRYR | Lower VRWM (5.5 V), bidirectional, Cd = 11 pF; same SOT23-3 footprint but different internal topology (dual bidirectional). | Only suitable for low-voltage (≤5.5 V) data lines like USB or I²C-not compatible with 24 V industrial interfaces. | Reject for 24 V systems; consider only for mixed-signal boards needing ultra-low capacitance on auxiliary low-voltage lines. |
Compared with ESD24VS2U-2/TR and TPD2E001DRYR, PESD24VS2UAT/ZLR uniquely balances 24 V standoff, 23 kV ESD hardness, and 23 pF capacitance in SOT23-making it the only validated choice for ruggedized 24 V data interface protection without compromising speed or reliability.

FAQ
What is the maximum peak pulse current the PESD24VS2UAT/ZLR can handle?
The device supports a peak pulse current of 3 A for an 8/20 µs exponential waveform per IEC 61000-4-5. This rating applies when measuring across either Pin 1–3 or Pin 2–3. Exceeding this value risks permanent parametric shift or junction failure, and derating is required above Tamb = 25 °C per Fig.5 in the datasheet.
Does PESD24VS2UAT/ZLR support bidirectional signal lines?
No-it is strictly unidirectional due to its common-cathode configuration. It protects only positive-going transients on lines referenced to ground. For bidirectional lines like USB D+/D− or I²C, a symmetric dual-bidirectional device such as PESD5V0S2UT is required instead.
How does the 23 pF capacitance affect high-speed CAN FD operation?
At 23 pF, the device adds negligible loading to CAN FD physical layers: total node capacitance remains well below the ISO 11898-2 limit of 100 pF, preserving signal rise/fall times and enabling reliable operation up to 5 Mbps. Layout best practices (short traces, ground plane) further minimize parasitic impact.
Is the PESD24VS2UAT/ZLR RoHS compliant and halogen-free?
Yes-Nexperia confirms full RoHS compliance (2011/65/EU) and halogen-free status per IEC 61249-2-21 for the PESD24VS2UAT/ZLR. The SOT23 package uses lead-free matte tin terminations and meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL1) for unlimited floor life at ≤30 °C/85% RH.
