Product details
Overview
SZDF3A6.8FUT1G from onsemi is a dual common-anode unidirectional Zener ESD protection diode in SC-70 (SOT-323) package, with 6.4–7.2 V breakdown voltage at 5 mA, 9.6 V clamping voltage at 2 A, and 16 kV HBM / 30 kV IEC 61000-4-2 ESD rating-designed for protecting two signal lines in space-constrained USB, HDMI, or audio interface circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SZDF3A6.8FUT1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include unidirectional dual-cathode configuration, low 0.5 µA reverse leakage at 5 V, 24 W peak pulse power (1 ms), 150 W peak pulse power (20 µs), and SC-70 thermal resistance of 618 °C/W.
Technical Context
This device implements a monolithic dual-Zener structure with shared anode (Pin 3) and independent cathodes (Pins 1 and 2), enabling simultaneous protection of two separate signal paths without cross-coupling. Its unidirectional topology blocks reverse transients while allowing forward bias operation up to 10 mA with ≤0.9 V forward voltage.
The clamping behavior is characterized by 9.6 V at 2.0 A (10/1000 µs pulse) and 16 V at 9.37 A (8/20 µs pulse), with zener impedance ≤50 Ω at 5 mA test current and ≤200 Ω at 0.5 mA knee current-ensuring predictable voltage limiting across operating conditions.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ESD protection diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ESD5Z6.8T1G | Single-channel SC-70 Zener, identical 6.8 V nominal VZ, same 9.6 V clamping, but only one protected line | Requires two devices to match dual-channel functionality of SZDF3A6.8FUT1G | Select when board layout allows separate placement or when channel isolation requirements exceed common-anode coupling |
| CM1213A-03SR | Triple-channel unidirectional TVS in SOT-553, 6.5 V VRWM, 12 V clamping at 1 A, higher 12 pF capacitance | Better suited for multi-line parallel protection but adds capacitance that may affect >100 MHz signal integrity | Prefer for designs needing three protected lines or where tighter VRWM tolerance is critical over low capacitance |
Compared with ESD5Z6.8T1G and CM1213A-03SR, SZDF3A6.8FUT1G uniquely delivers dual-line protection in minimal area with lowest capacitance (≤0.5 pF) and highest ESD robustness per channel-making it optimal for high-speed, space-constrained interfaces where channel count and signal fidelity are jointly constrained.

FAQ
What is the pin configuration of SZDF3A6.8FUT1G?
SZDF3A6.8FUT1G uses SC-70 (SOT-323) package with Pin 1 = Cathode (Channel A), Pin 2 = Cathode (Channel B), and Pin 3 = Common Anode. This dual-cathode/common-anode arrangement enables independent protection of two signal lines sharing one ground reference, confirmed in onsemi's mechanical drawings (Style 4).
Does SZDF3A6.8FUT1G support bidirectional ESD protection?
No, SZDF3A6.8FUT1G is strictly unidirectional-its internal structure connects two Zener junctions anode-to-anode (Pin 3), so it conducts only when either cathode (Pin 1 or 2) is driven negative relative to Pin 3. Bidirectional protection requires separate devices or a dedicated bidirectional array like NUP4105MR6T1G.
What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation for SZDF3A6.8FUT1G?
SZDF3A6.8FUT1G has a maximum steady-state power dissipation of 200 mW at 25°C ambient, derating linearly by 1.6 mW/°C above that temperature. At 105°C ambient, usable power drops to 72 mW-verified in the "Steady State Power Derating Curve" (Figure 6) of the official datasheet.
How does SZDF3A6.8FUT1G perform under IEC 61000-4-2 ESD testing?
SZDF3A6.8FUT1G meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 with 30 kV contact discharge and 30 kV air discharge ratings. Its clamping voltage remains ≤16 V at 9.37 A (8/20 µs pulse), ensuring protected ICs experience no overvoltage beyond their absolute maximum ratings during standardized ESD stress.
Is SZDF3A6.8FUT1G suitable for high-frequency signal lines like USB 3.0 or PCIe?
No-SZDF3A6.8FUT1G is rated for ≤0.5 pF capacitance at 1 MHz, but its capacitance rises significantly above 10 MHz and lacks characterization for >500 MHz operation. It is validated for USB 2.0 (480 Mbps), HDMI 1.4 (3.4 Gbps), and audio interfaces-not for USB 3.0 (5 Gbps) or PCIe Gen3 (8 GT/s) where sub-0.2 pF devices like ESD7L5.0D05 are required.
