Product details
Overview
SM05T1G from onsemi is a dual common-anode ESD protection diode array in SOT-23 package, rated for 5.0 V working peak reverse voltage, 300 W peak pulse power (8/20 µs), and ±15 kV air/±26 kV contact ESD immunity. It protects two I/O lines simultaneously in space-constrained interfaces such as USB, keyboard, or microprocessor bus lines.
For engineers reviewing the SM05T1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include clamping voltage (9.8 V @ 1 A), low leakage (10 µA @ 5 V), dual-cathode configuration, and UL 94 V-0 flammability rating - all critical for high-density transient suppression in industrial and computing systems.
Technical Context
The SM05T1G implements a monolithic dual-junction silicon structure with shared anode (Pin 3) and separate cathodes (Pins 1 and 2), enabling independent unidirectional protection of two signal paths. Its design supports either two discrete unidirectional channels or a single bidirectional configuration via external routing.
It meets IEC 61000-4-2 (ESD), IEC 61000-4-4 (EFT), and IEC 61000-4-5 (lightning surge) standards with verified 12 A surge current capability and 225 pF typical capacitance at 0 V bias - optimized for data-line integrity in sub-10 MHz digital interfaces.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Working Peak Reverse Voltage | 5.0 V - defines maximum continuous DC or AC RMS voltage before conduction begins on each channel |
| Clamping Voltage @ 1 A | 9.8 V - maximum voltage seen by protected circuit during 8/20 µs surge event at 1 A peak |
| Peak Pulse Power | 300 W - transient energy handling capacity per channel under standardized 8/20 µs waveform |
| ESD Withstand (IEC 61000-4-2) | ±15 kV air / ±26 kV contact - ensures robustness against human-body-model electrostatic discharge events |
| Reverse Leakage Current | 10 µA @ VRWM - minimal signal loading and power loss during normal operation |
| Capacitance @ 0 V | 225 pF - limits high-frequency signal distortion on protected lines up to ~10 MHz bandwidth |
| Package | SOT-23 (Case 318, Style 12) - surface-mount footprint measuring 2.90 × 1.30 × 1.00 mm for high-density PCB layout |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23 package (Case 318, Style 12) with void-free thermosetting plastic case, corrosion-resistant finish, and Pb-free construction. Rated for 260°C soldering (10 s).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Cathode (Channel A) | Protected line input for first unidirectional ESD path; connects to I/O trace requiring clamping to GND |
| Pin 2 | Cathode (Channel B) | Protected line input for second independent unidirectional ESD path; enables dual-line protection in one footprint |
| Pin 3 | Anode (Common) | Shared return node tied to system ground or local reference plane; establishes common clamping reference |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-channel common-anode topology | Enables simultaneous protection of two signal lines without inter-channel coupling or shared cathode routing constraints |
| UL 94 V-0 flammability rating | Confirms self-extinguishing behavior under flame exposure - required for safety-certified industrial and medical enclosures |
| Low clamping voltage (9.8 V) | Ensures downstream ICs (e.g., 5 V logic, USB transceivers) remain within absolute maximum ratings during surge events |
| Pb-free and RoHS-compliant construction | Meets global environmental compliance mandates and eliminates lead contamination risk in reflow and end-of-life processing |
| Optimized for automated board assembly | Standardized SOT-23 pitch (1.90 mm) and coplanarity support high-yield pick-and-place and reflow soldering |
Applications
| USB 2.0 Interface Protection | Industrial Keypad ESD Shielding |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting D+ and D− differential pair in embedded USB host/device ports against ESD events during plug/unplug cycles. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional transient voltage suppressor placed between connector and PHY, with common anode grounded. Use Value: Clamps transients to ≤9.8 V while adding only 225 pF capacitance - preserves signal integrity up to 480 Mbps without impedance discontinuity. | Use Scenario: Guarding matrix-scanned keypad rows/columns in factory HMIs exposed to operator touch-induced ESD. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-line protector where Pins 1 and 2 connect to adjacent scan lines, Pin 3 to chassis ground. Use Value: Eliminates need for two discrete diodes, saving 1.5 mm² PCB area and reducing BOM count in space-limited front-panel designs. |
| Microcontroller GPIO Bus Protection | Printer Parallel Port Surge Suppression |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding multiple MCU GPIO pins (e.g., UART TX/RX, SPI MOSI/MISO) sharing common ground in compact IoT edge nodes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Common-anode TVS array providing coordinated clamping across two I/Os referenced to same GND net. Use Value: Prevents latch-up or gate oxide damage during field ESD events while maintaining <10 µA standby leakage for battery-powered operation. | Use Scenario: Hardening legacy Centronics-style parallel port signals (STROBE, ACK, BUSY) in office printers subjected to cable-discharge events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-channel suppressor installed at connector entry point, with cathodes on signal lines and anode on chassis ground. Use Value: Withstands 12 A lightning-surge pulses per IEC 61000-4-5, preventing interface lockup or firmware corruption during power-line disturbances. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPD2E001DRYR | Lower capacitance (12 pF), lower clamping (7.5 V @ 1 A), but 150 W peak power rating | Better suited for high-speed USB 3.0 or HDMI; insufficient for 12 A lightning surge per IEC 61000-4-5 | Select when signal bandwidth >50 MHz dominates over surge robustness requirements |
| SMAJ5.0A | Single-channel, DO-214AC package, higher clamping (11.2 V @ 12.5 A), 400 W rating | Requires two devices for dual-line protection; larger footprint (4.5 × 3.2 mm vs. 2.9 × 1.3 mm) | Choose when higher surge margin is needed and board area is not constrained |
Compared with TPD2E001DRYR and SMAJ5.0A, the SM05T1G uniquely balances dual-line integration, 300 W surge capability, and SOT-23 miniaturization - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, space-limited 5 V digital interfaces requiring full IEC 61000-4-x compliance.

FAQ
What is the exact pin configuration of the SM05T1G?
The SM05T1G uses SOT-23 package Style 12: Pin 1 is Cathode (Channel A), Pin 2 is Cathode (Channel B), and Pin 3 is the Common Anode. This dual-cathode/common-anode arrangement enables independent protection of two signal lines referenced to a shared ground node - confirmed in the official onsemi datasheet revision 11 (September 2024) and mechanical outline CASE 318.
Does the SM05T1G meet AEC-Q101 qualification?
No - the SM05T1G is not AEC-Q101 qualified. Only the SZ-prefix variants (e.g., SZSM05T1G) carry AEC-Q101 qualification and PPAP capability per the onsemi datasheet. The SM05T1G is intended for commercial and industrial applications, not automotive-grade deployment.
What is the clamping voltage of the SM05T1G at 1 A surge current?
The SM05T1G has a maximum clamping voltage of 9.8 V at 1 A peak pulse current (8/20 µs waveform), as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 2 of the official onsemi datasheet. This value ensures protected 5 V logic circuits remain within safe operating limits during ESD and surge events.
Can the SM05T1G be used for bidirectional signal lines like RS-485?
No - the SM05T1G is a unidirectional device with common-anode architecture, designed for clamping positive transients to ground. For true bidirectional protection (e.g., RS-485), a dedicated bidirectional TVS array or back-to-back diode configuration is required; the SM05T1G does not support symmetrical clamping above and below ground.
What is the thermal resistance junction-to-ambient for the SM05T1G on FR-5 board?
The SM05T1G has a thermal resistance (RJA) of 556 °C/W when mounted on an FR-5 board (1.0 × 0.75 × 0.62 in.), with total power dissipation derated above 25°C at 1.8 mW/°C. This value is critical for estimating temperature rise during repetitive surge events and is documented in the Maximum Ratings table on page 2 of the onsemi SM05T1G datasheet.
