Product details
Overview
SMF24CT1G from onsemi is a 5-line ESD and transient voltage protection diode array in SC-88 package, featuring 24 V reverse working voltage, 26.7–32 V breakdown voltage, and 40 V clamping voltage at 1 A (8 × 20 µs), designed for surge protection of high-speed data lines in automotive infotainment interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SMF24CT1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include VRWM ≥24 V, low line-to-GND capacitance (21–25 pF), IEC 61000-4-2 ±15 kV air/±8 kV contact compliance, and monolithic common-anode architecture enabling compact 5-line protection.
Technical Context
The SMF24CT1G implements a monolithic common-anode ESD protection structure with five independent cathodes and one shared anode, enabling simultaneous protection of five signal lines without inter-channel coupling. Its design targets fast transient suppression per IEC 61000-4-2 and robust 100 W peak power handling under 8 × 20 µs surges.
It operates across −40 °C to +125 °C junction temperature range and maintains <1.0 µA reverse leakage at VRWM = 24 V, supporting reliable operation in automotive and industrial environments where thermal stability and low standby current are critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reverse Working Voltage (VRWM) | 24 V - Maximum continuous DC or peak operating voltage the device blocks without conduction. |
| Breakdown Voltage (VBR) | 26.7–32 V at IT = 1 mA - Threshold at which avalanche conduction begins, defining minimum clamping onset. |
| Clamping Voltage (VC) | 40 V at IPP = 1 A - Maximum voltage seen by protected circuit during 8 × 20 µs surge, limiting stress on downstream ICs. |
| Peak Pulse Current (IPP) | 2.5 A - Maximum non-repetitive surge current the device safely diverts without failure. |
| Junction Capacitance (CJ) | 21–25 pF at VR = 0 V, 1 MHz - Low line-to-GND capacitance preserves signal integrity on USB 2.0 or CAN FD interfaces. |
| ESD Rating | ±15 kV air / ±8 kV contact per IEC 61000-4-2 - Certified immunity level for end-equipment ESD compliance testing. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMF12CT1G | Lower VRWM (12 V), higher capacitance (40–60 pF), lower clamping (21 V @ 3 A) | Better suited for 3.3 V/5 V logic interfaces; not rated for 24 V supply domains | Select when protecting low-voltage digital I/O where tighter clamping and higher surge current are prioritized over voltage range. |
| TPD4E05U06DQAR | 4-line array, 5.5 V VRWM, 0.5 pF typical capacitance, ±12 kV IEC 61000-4-2 | Optimized for ultra-high-speed interfaces (USB 3.0, HDMI 2.0); lacks 24 V blocking capability | Choose for >5 Gbps serial links where sub-1 pF capacitance is mandatory, accepting reduced voltage rating and line count. |
Compared with SMF12CT1G and TPD4E05U06DQAR, the SMF24CT1G uniquely balances 24 V operating margin, 5-line integration, and 21–25 pF capacitance-making it the only option among the three qualified for 24 V automotive signal protection without derating or redesign.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the SMF24CT1G under surge conditions?
The SMF24CT1G exhibits a clamping voltage of 40 V at 1 A peak pulse current (8 × 20 µs waveform) and 44 V at 2.5 A. These values represent the maximum voltage imposed on protected lines during standardized surge events, ensuring downstream 3.3 V or 5 V ICs remain within safe operating limits without latch-up or damage.
Does the SMF24CT1G meet automotive qualification standards?
Yes, the SMF24CT1G is AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable. It meets automotive-grade reliability requirements including operating junction temperature from −40 °C to +125 °C, robust ESD performance per IEC 61000-4-2 (±15 kV air, ±8 kV contact), and UL 94 V-0 flammability rating-making it suitable for under-hood and cabin electronics.
How many signal lines does the SMF24CT1G protect, and what is its pin configuration?
The SMF24CT1G protects five independent signal lines using a monolithic common-anode SC-88 package (Style 24). Pin 2 is the shared anode; pins 1, 3, 4, 5, and 6 are individual cathodes-each connecting to one protected line while referencing the same ground return path.
Can the SMF24CT1G be used in USB 2.0 applications?
Yes, the SMF24CT1G is suitable for USB 2.0 data line protection. Its 21–25 pF line-to-GND capacitance avoids signal integrity degradation at 480 Mbps, and its 24 V VRWM provides ample margin above USB VBUS. The 40 V clamping voltage at 1 A ensures safe operation for 3.3 V transceivers during ESD events.
What is the peak pulse current rating of the SMF24CT1G?
The SMF24CT1G has a maximum peak pulse current (IPP) rating of 2.5 A under the standard 8 × 20 µs double-exponential waveform. This defines the highest transient current the device can safely divert without parametric shift or catastrophic failure, aligning with IEC 61000-4-5 surge test levels for protected interfaces.
