Product details
Overview
SZESD9C5.0ST5G from onsemi is a unidirectional ESD protection diode in SOD-923 package, featuring 5.0 V working peak reverse voltage (VRWM), 6.0 pF typical capacitance at 1 MHz, clamping voltage ≤11.0 V at 1 A IPP, <1 ns response time, and IEC61000-4-2 Level 4 (±8 kV contact) compliance - deployed for USB data lines, HDMI interfaces, and portable device I/O ports.
For engineers reviewing the SZESD9C5.0ST5G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include clamping voltage under IEC61000-4-2 pulse, low capacitance for high-speed signal integrity, stand-off voltage matching system rail, AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use, and SOD-923 footprint compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device operates as a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor, leveraging silicon avalanche breakdown to clamp ESD transients before they reach downstream ICs. Its cathode-anode polarity enables integration into single-rail signal paths where ground-referenced protection is required.
The SOD-923 package supports automated placement and provides thermal dissipation sufficient for 150 mW peak power handling per FR-5 board conditions. It meets Class 3 HBM (>16 kV) and IEC61000-4-2 Level 4 (±8 kV contact/±15 kV air) without derating.

| VC @ IPP = 1 A | ≤11.0 V - Clamped voltage during IEC61000-4-2 pulse; limits stress on protected IC input stages. |
| C @ 1 MHz, 0 V | 6.0 pF (typ), 6.2 pF (max) - Enables use on USB 2.0 (480 Mbps) and HDMI DDC lines without signal distortion. |
| Response Time | <1 ns - Ensures protection activation prior to propagation of ESD-induced voltage overshoot. |

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 | Bidirectional configuration; same VRWM (5.0 V), but symmetric clamping (VC = 14.5 V both polarities); 8.5 pF typical capacitance. | Suitable for AC-coupled or differential lines (e.g., USB 3.0, Ethernet) requiring bidirectional suppression. | Select when protecting balanced or floating signals where polarity reversal may occur. |
| CM1213A-03SO | 3-channel array in SOT-23-6; 5.5 V VRWM; 12 pF typical; higher 15 kV HBM rating but larger 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm footprint. | Used where multiple lines (e.g., HDMI TMDS + CEC + HPD) require coordinated protection in one package. | Choose for multi-line consolidation; avoid if board space or single-line optimization is critical. |
Compared with ESD9B5.0ST5G and CM1213A-03SO, SZESD9C5.0ST5G delivers lowest capacitance and smallest footprint for single-line 5 V rail protection, making it optimal for space-limited USB 2.0 and automotive I/O where unidirectional clamping suffices.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of SZESD9C5.0ST5G under IEC61000-4-2 testing?
The SZESD9C5.0ST5G exhibits a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 11.0 V when subjected to a 1 A peak pulse current per IEC61000-4-2 test conditions. This value is measured across the device terminals during the ESD transient event and ensures downstream ICs experience limited overvoltage stress. The SZESD9C5.0ST5G maintains this performance across its full operating temperature range and is validated per Level 4 (±8 kV contact) requirements.
Is SZESD9C5.0ST5G qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SZESD9C5.0ST5G carries the "SZ" prefix indicating AEC-Q101 qualification and PPAP capability. It is rated for junction temperatures from −55°C to +150°C and has passed stress tests including HTOL, temperature cycling, and ESD robustness per automotive standards. The SZESD9C5.0ST5G is explicitly intended for use in automotive infotainment, telematics, and body electronics where ESD immunity and reliability are critical.
What is the capacitance of SZESD9C5.0ST5G and how does it affect high-speed signal integrity?
SZESD9C5.0ST5G has a typical capacitance of 6.0 pF and a maximum of 6.2 pF at 0 V and 1 MHz. This low value minimizes loading on high-speed lines such as USB 2.0 (480 Mbps), preserving signal rise time, reducing jitter, and maintaining eye diagram margin. At 480 Mbps, the SZESD9C5.0ST5G introduces negligible insertion loss and does not require equalization or re-timing in standard PCB trace lengths up to 15 cm.
How is the polarity configured on SZESD9C5.0ST5G, and why does it matter for circuit design?
SZESD9C5.0ST5G is a unidirectional diode with Pin 1 as cathode and Pin 2 as anode. This configuration allows conduction only during positive transients on the protected line relative to ground - essential for single-supply I/O protection where negative excursions are not expected. Correct orientation ensures effective clamping without forward-biasing during normal operation, avoiding DC loading or signal distortion that would occur with reversed placement.
Does SZESD9C5.0ST5G meet IEC61000-4-2 Level 4, and what does that mean for end-product certification?
Yes, SZESD9C5.0ST5G is rated for IEC61000-4-2 Level 4: ±8 kV contact discharge and ±15 kV air discharge. This means the device can reliably suppress ESD events at these levels without failure, contributing directly to system-level pass/fail compliance in final product testing. When placed at I/O entry points per layout guidelines, the SZESD9C5.0ST5G helps achieve robust immunity in handheld, medical, and automotive devices seeking CE, FCC, or UN/ECE R10 certification.
