Product details
Overview
SZESD9B5.0ST5G from onsemi is a bi-directional ESD protection diode designed for I/O line protection in portable electronics. It features a 5.0 V working peak reverse voltage (VRWM), 15 pF capacitance, clamping voltage of 12.5 V at 1 A IPP, IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 compliance (±18 kV contact), and SOD-923 package (1.0 × 0.60 × 0.37 mm).
For engineers reviewing the SZESD9B5.0ST5G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include clamping voltage under 1 A/2 A ESD pulses, low leakage (<100 nA at VRWM), IEC61000-4-2 Level 4 robustness, and sub-1 mm footprint suitability for high-density USB, HDMI, and audio interface layouts.
Technical Context
This device operates as a transient voltage suppression (TVS) diode with bi-directional avalanche breakdown behavior, enabling symmetric clamping for AC-coupled or differential signal lines. Its 5.0 V VRWM ensures compatibility with 5 V logic rails while maintaining margin above typical 4.5–5.5 V supply tolerances.
Response time <1 ns and low 15 pF capacitance minimize signal distortion on high-speed interfaces such as USB 2.0 and I²C. AEC-Q101 qualification confirms suitability for automotive infotainment and telematics modules requiring enhanced reliability under thermal cycling and humidity stress.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRWM | 5.0 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before conduction; matches standard 5 V digital interface rails. |
| Clamping Voltage (VC) | 12.5 V @ 1 A IPP - Peak voltage seen by protected IC during IEC61000-4-2 contact discharge; limits downstream IC stress. |
| Capacitance (C) | 15 pF @ 0 V, 1 MHz - Low enough to avoid signal integrity degradation on USB 2.0 (480 Mbps) and audio codec lines. |
| ESD Rating | ±18 kV contact per IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 - Full system-level ESD immunity without external shielding or layout derating. |
| Leakage Current (IR) | <100 nA @ VRWM - Negligible DC loading on battery-powered sensor or touch controller inputs. |
| Package | SOD-923 (1.0 × 0.60 × 0.37 mm) - Enables placement directly at connector pads with minimal PCB area impact. |
Pinout & Package
SOD-923 surface-mount package: 2-terminal, ultra-compact plastic case (CASE 514AB), 100% matte tin lead finish, MSL 1, compatible with standard reflow profiles up to 260°C.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ESD9B5.0ST5G | Same electrical specs and SOD-923 package; non-automotive grade marking (no "SZ" prefix). | Identical performance in commercial portable designs; lacks AEC-Q101 documentation traceability. | Select when automotive qualification is not required and cost sensitivity is higher. |
| TPD2E001DRYR | 12 pF capacitance, 13 V clamping @ 1 A, SOT-553 package (1.6 × 1.6 × 0.6 mm), 3.3 V VRWM. | Better for 3.3 V systems; larger footprint limits ultra-dense layouts; no AEC-Q101 rating. | Prefer for lower-clamp 3.3 V I/Os where board space allows SOT-553 placement. |
Compared with ESD9B5.0ST5G and TPD2E001DRYR, SZESD9B5.0ST5G uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, 5.0 V VRWM, and 1.0 mm × 0.6 mm footprint-making it optimal for space-constrained automotive and premium consumer I/O protection where both voltage rating and reliability certification are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SZESD9B5.0ST5G at 2 A ESD current?
The clamping voltage of SZESD9B5.0ST5G is 15.0 V maximum at 2 A peak pulse current (IPP), per IEC 61000-4-2 waveform conditions. This value is measured across the device terminals during standardized 8 kV contact discharge testing and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry under severe ESD stress. The SZESD9B5.0ST5G maintains this specification across its full operating temperature range of −55°C to +150°C.
Is SZESD9B5.0ST5G suitable for protecting 3.3 V logic lines?
No-SZESD9B5.0ST5G has a 5.0 V working peak reverse voltage (VRWM), making it mismatched for direct use on 3.3 V rails where clamping may occur prematurely. For 3.3 V interfaces, onsemi's SZESD9B3.3ST5G (VRWM = 3.3 V) is the functionally aligned variant. Using SZESD9B5.0ST5G on 3.3 V lines risks insufficient margin below breakdown and potential false triggering during normal operation.
Does SZESD9B5.0ST5G require orientation-specific PCB layout?
No-SZESD9B5.0ST5G is a bi-directional ESD protection diode with symmetrical avalanche characteristics; its SOD-923 package uses a cathode band (Pin 1) but functions identically regardless of installation direction. Layouts can treat it as polarity-agnostic, simplifying automated placement and eliminating orientation verification during assembly. This symmetry is confirmed in the device's I-V curves for both positive and negative ESD pulses.
What is the thermal resistance (RJA) of SZESD9B5.0ST5G on FR-5 board?
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RJA) of SZESD9B5.0ST5G is 400°C/W when mounted on a standard FR-5 test board (1.0 × 0.75 × 0.62 inches), per the manufacturer's maximum ratings table. This value reflects passive dissipation only-no copper pour or thermal vias-and confirms the device's suitability for low-duty-cycle ESD events rather than continuous power handling. The SZESD9B5.0ST5G does not require heatsinking in typical ESD protection applications.
How does the AEC-Q101 qualification of SZESD9B5.0ST5G differ from standard ESD9B5.0ST5G?
The "SZ" prefix in SZESD9B5.0ST5G denotes automotive-grade manufacturing controls, including lot traceability, extended temperature validation (−55°C to +150°C), and PPAP documentation readiness-distinct from commercial-grade ESD9B5.0ST5G. Both share identical electrical parameters and SOD-923 packaging, but only SZESD9B5.0ST5G carries formal AEC-Q101 test reports and is approved for use in automotive infotainment and body control modules per OEM requirements.
