Product details
Overview
SZESD9R3.3ST5G from onsemi is a unidirectional ESD protection diode designed for ultra-low-leakage, high-speed data line protection in human-body-sensor and wearable electronics interfaces. It features 3.3 V stand-off voltage, <1 nA reverse leakage (0°C to 50°C), 0.5 pF capacitance, 7.8 V clamping voltage at 1 A, and IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 (±8 kV contact) compliance.
For engineers reviewing the SZESD9R3.3ST5G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include sub-1 nA leakage at elevated temperature, sub-1 pF signal-line capacitance, low clamping voltage under IEC ESD pulse, SOD-923 footprint compatibility, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive sensor nodes.
Technical Context
The SZESD9R3.3ST5G operates as a unidirectional transient voltage suppression diode with avalanche breakdown triggered by ESD events. Its design centers on rapid turn-on (<1 ns response) to clamp induced transients while maintaining minimal parasitic capacitance and leakage across industrial temperature ranges.
It is optimized for placement directly at I/O pads of ASSPs and ASICs handling analog sensor signals or low-power digital interfaces. The device uses silicon planar construction in a Pb-free SOD-923 package with cathode-band polarity marking and meets MSL 1 reflow requirements up to 260°C.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Stand-off Voltage | 3.3 V - blocks normal operating signals up to rated DC bias without conduction |
| Max Reverse Leakage | <1 nA @ 1 V, 0°C–50°C - preserves battery life and signal integrity in ultra-low-current sensor front-ends |
| Clamping Voltage | 7.8 V @ 1 A IEC pulse - limits transient overvoltage seen by protected IC to safe level during ±8 kV contact discharge |
| Capacitance | 0.5 pF @ 0 V, 1 MHz - enables use on >1 Gbps USB/MIPI lines without signal distortion or timing skew |
| ESD Rating | IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4: ±8 kV contact, ±15 kV air - certified system-level ESD robustness per international EMC standard |
| Package | SOD-923 (1.00 × 0.60 × 0.37 mm) - surface-mount footprint compatible with fine-pitch sensor module layouts |
| Qualification | AEC-Q101 qualified - validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling and HTRB stress |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ESD9L3.3ST5G | Bidirectional configuration; same 3.3 V VRWM but symmetric clamping (±7.8 V); 0.5 pF C, <1 nA IR | Required where both positive and negative transients must be clamped identically (e.g., USB D+/D−) | Select when bidirectional protection is mandated by interface standard-not drop-in replacement for unidirectional SZESD9R3.3ST5G |
| TPD1E10B06DPYR | 0.6 pF capacitance; 1.5 nA max IR @ 3.3 V; same SOD-923 package; ±12 kV IEC contact rating | Higher ESD rating suits harsher industrial environments but higher leakage may impact ultra-low-power sensor sleep modes | Prefer when system-level ESD test margin exceeds ±8 kV; verify leakage impact on battery runtime in always-on designs |
Compared with ESD9L3.3ST5G and TPD1E10B06DPYR, the SZESD9R3.3ST5G delivers optimal trade-off of unidirectional clamping, lowest leakage, and minimal capacitance for precision analog sensor interfaces where asymmetric transient threat models apply and power budget is constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse leakage current specification for SZESD9R3.3ST5G over temperature?
The SZESD9R3.3ST5G guarantees maximum reverse leakage current of <1 nA when measured at 1 V reverse bias across the full 0°C to 50°C operating range. This value is specified in the Electrical Characteristics table of the official onsemi datasheet (Rev. 3, February 2024) and is critical for preserving battery life in always-on wearable sensor applications where even nanoampere-level leakage impacts runtime.
Is SZESD9R3.3ST5G suitable for protecting high-speed USB 3.2 Gen 1 interfaces?
Yes, the SZESD9R3.3ST5G is suitable for USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gbps) interfaces due to its 0.5 pF typical capacitance and unidirectional configuration, which minimizes signal distortion on the RX/TX differential pairs. Its clamping voltage of 7.8 V at 1 A ensures protected PHY circuitry remains within safe operating limits during IEC 61000-4-2 ESD events, making SZESD9R3.3ST5G a validated choice for compact USB Type-C port protection.
Does SZESD9R3.3ST5G have automotive qualification?
Yes, SZESD9R3.3ST5G carries the "SZ" prefix denoting AEC-Q101 qualification and PPAP capability. It has undergone stress testing per AEC-Q101 standards including HTGB, TC, and HTRB, confirming suitability for automotive cabin electronics such as occupancy detection sensors and infotainment touch controllers where reliability across -40°C to +125°C junction temperature is required.
What is the clamping voltage behavior of SZESD9R3.3ST5G under IEC 61000-4-2 testing?
The SZESD9R3.3ST5G exhibits a clamping voltage of 7.8 V when subjected to a 1 A peak current pulse matching the IEC 61000-4-2 waveform (Figure 5). This value is measured across the diode terminals during the 8/20 µs pulse and represents the maximum voltage imposed on the protected IC during an ±8 kV contact discharge event, as documented in the onsemi datasheet page 2 Electrical Characteristics table.
Can SZESD9R3.3ST5G be used in place of a bidirectional ESD diode like ESD9L3.3ST5G?
No-SZESD9R3.3ST5G is unidirectional and only clamps positive transients to ground; it does not protect against negative transients on the protected line. Substituting it for a bidirectional part like ESD9L3.3ST5G would leave the circuit vulnerable to negative ESD events. System-level validation is required before interchange, and SZESD9R3.3ST5G must only be used where the application's threat model confirms unidirectional transient exposure.
