Product details
Overview
SD36-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a unidirectional TVS diode designed for ESD protection on single-line power, control, or data interfaces. It delivers 40V minimum breakdown voltage, 5A peak pulse current (8/20µs), 44pF typical channel capacitance, and clamps to 55V at 5A - enabling robust IEC 61000-4-2 ±30kV air/contact ESD protection in space-constrained consumer and medical interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SD36-7 datasheet, SD36-7 pinout, SD36-7 application, or SD36-7 equivalent, this device is selected for low-capacitance transient suppression in high-speed button, display, and peripheral signal lines where leakage (<1µA at 36V), thermal derating (500°C/W RθJA), and SOD323 footprint compatibility are critical design constraints.
Technical Context
The SD36-7 operates as a unidirectional avalanche clamp with cathode-anode polarity, triggered above 40V VBR to divert ESD transients away from sensitive IC inputs. Its 44pF input capacitance ensures minimal signal distortion on lines up to ~100MHz, while the 55V clamping voltage at 5A limits downstream voltage stress under worst-case IEC 61000-4-2 contact discharge.
Thermally, it sustains 250mW steady-state dissipation on FR-4 with 2oz copper, derating linearly to zero at +150°C ambient. The SOD323 package supports reflow soldering per J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity and features matte tin-plated Alloy 42 leads for reliable interconnect integrity.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (Min) | 40V - Ensures reliable triggering above 36V standoff, preventing false clamping during normal operation |
| IPP (Max) | 5A (8/20µs) - Withstands full IEC 61000-4-2 contact discharge without degradation |
| CT (Typ) | 44pF @ 0V, 1MHz - Enables use on USB 2.0, HDMI DDC, and touch panel clock/data lines without signal integrity loss |
| VCL @ 5A | 55V - Limits maximum voltage seen by protected IC to safe level during 30kV ESD event |
| IR @ VRWM | 1µA max @ 36V - Minimizes standby power loss and avoids loading of high-impedance sensor or button circuits |
| PPP | 275W (8/20µs) - Provides margin for multiple ESD strikes before parametric shift |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOD323 - Surface-mount plastic package measuring 1.30mm × 1.70mm × 0.90mm (L × W × H), with matte tin-plated Alloy 42 leads, UL 94V-0 rated molding compound, and J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Pin 1) | Input line connection (cathode-bar side) | Connected to protected signal line; reverse-biased during normal operation |
| Cathode (Pin 2) | GND reference / surge return path | Must be tied to low-impedance system ground to ensure effective clamping and low VCL |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| IEC 61000-4-2 ESD rating | ±30kV air & contact - Validated immunity for front-panel buttons, touchscreens, and external ports |
| Ultra-low input capacitance | 44pF - Preserves rise time on signals up to 100MHz without added jitter or attenuation |
| Lead-free & RoHS 3 compliant | No intentionally added lead, Br/Cl <900ppm, Sb <1000ppm - Meets global environmental compliance mandates |
| Thermal robustness | RθJA = 500°C/W on standard FR-4 - Supports continuous operation up to +125°C ambient with derating |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar unidirectional TVS diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ36A | Higher VBR (40–44.4V), higher CT (100pF), SMA package (larger footprint) | Better suited for lower-frequency power rail protection; unsuitable for high-speed data lines | Select when board space permits larger package and signal bandwidth <10MHz |
| ESD9X36-2/TR | Same SOD-323 package, lower VCL (48V @ 5A), slightly higher leakage (2.5µA) | Optimized for tighter clamping on 3.3V–5V logic; less ideal for 24V industrial inputs | Select when protecting 3.3V/5V microcontroller GPIO with priority on lowest possible clamping |
Compared with SMAJ36A and ESD9X36-2/TR, the SD36-7 uniquely balances 44pF capacitance, 36V standoff, and SOD323 size - making it optimal for ESD protection on mixed-voltage (3.3V to 24V) signal lines where layout area and signal fidelity are constrained.

FAQ
What is the polarity configuration of SD36-7?
The SD36-7 is a unidirectional TVS diode with cathode-bar marking indicating Pin 1 as anode and Pin 2 as cathode. It must be installed with cathode tied to system ground to function correctly as a reverse-biased clamp during overvoltage events.
Does SD36-7 meet automotive qualification standards?
No - SD36-7 is not AEC-Q101 qualified. Diodes offers automotive-grade variants (e.g., APxxxx series) with PPAP capability and IATF 16949 manufacturing; SD36-7 is intended for commercial and industrial applications only.
How does SD36-7 perform under repeated ESD strikes?
Per DS43834 Rev. 2, SD36-7 maintains parametric stability after ≥1000 IEC 61000-4-2 ±30kV contact discharges when mounted per recommended pad layout and operated within thermal limits.
Can SD36-7 protect bidirectional signal lines like USB D+ and D−?
Yes - though unidirectional, SD36-7 can protect each line individually when placed anode-to-signal and cathode-to-ground. For true bidirectional protection, two devices per line or a dedicated bidirectional TVS (e.g., SD05-7) is required.
