Product details
Overview
SZESDM3551N2T5G from onsemi is a bidirectional TVS diode designed for IEC 61000−4−2 Level 4 ESD protection of voltage-sensitive signal lines, featuring 5.5 V stand-off voltage, 21 pF junction capacitance at 0 V, 6.0 V clamping voltage at 1 A, and 8.2 V clamping voltage at 8 A peak pulse current - deployed in USB ID line, SD card, audio line, and GPIO protection.
For engineers reviewing the SZESDM3551N2T5G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include low-capacitance transient suppression (21 pF), automotive-grade AEC−Q101 qualification, 0402 X2DFN2 package footprint, and ±30 kV IEC contact/air ESD robustness.
Technical Context
The SZESDM3551N2T5G implements a symmetric bidirectional clamping structure with breakdown voltage of 5.6–7.0 V at 1 mA, enabling equal protection against positive and negative transients. Its dynamic resistance of 0.11 Ω (TLP) ensures rapid voltage stabilization during fast-rising ESD events.
Designed for high-frequency signal integrity, it delivers 0.01 dB insertion loss at 10 MHz and maintains stable capacitance across frequency - critical for preserving signal fidelity on high-speed data lines like USB and SD interfaces.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Stand-off Voltage | 5.5 V - blocks normal operating signals up to this DC/reverse voltage without leakage conduction. |
| Clamping Voltage @ 1 A | 6.0 V - limits transient voltage seen by protected IC to ≤6.0 V during 8/20 µs surge. |
| Clamping Voltage @ 8 A | 8.2 V - maintains sub-9 V clamping under severe IEC-level surges, safeguarding 3.3 V/5 V logic. |
| Junction Capacitance | 21 pF at 0 V, 1 MHz - enables use on USB 2.0 and SD card lines without signal degradation. |
| ESD Rating | ±30 kV contact & air (IEC 61000−4−2 Level 4) - exceeds industrial and automotive immunity requirements. |
| Peak Pulse Current | 9.9 A (8/20 µs) - sustains multiple high-energy transients without parametric shift or failure. |
| Leakage Current | 0.1 µA @ 5.5 V - minimizes power drain on battery-powered GPIO and sensor interfaces. |

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 | Unidirectional, 5.0 V VRWM, 15 pF capacitance, SOD-923 package (1.0 × 0.6 × 0.4 mm) | Requires separate anode/cathode routing; unsuitable for AC-coupled or floating lines. | Select when lower capacitance is prioritized and signal polarity is fixed. |
| TPD2E001DRYR | Bi-directional, 5.5 V VRWM, 12 pF capacitance, X2SON package (1.0 × 0.6 × 0.5 mm), integrated RC filter | Includes 56 Ω series resistor - adds propagation delay; not for high-speed data lines. | Prefer for low-noise analog inputs where filtering is needed, not for USB/SD timing-critical paths. |
Compared with ESD9B5.0ST5G and TPD2E001DRYR, the SZESDM3551N2T5G offers balanced bidirectional clamping with optimal 21 pF/6.0 V trade-off for high-speed digital interfaces, whereas alternatives sacrifice either symmetry, speed compatibility, or layout simplicity.

FAQ
What is the maximum working voltage supported by the SZESDM3551N2T5G?
The SZESDM3551N2T5G has a working peak reverse voltage (VRWM) of 5.5 V, meaning it reliably blocks DC and signal voltages up to this level during normal operation without conducting. This makes it compatible with 3.3 V and 5 V logic systems, including USB, SD, and GPIO interfaces where rail voltage does not exceed 5.5 V.
Is the SZESDM3551N2T5G suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the SZESDM3551N2T5G is AEC−Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, with the "SZ" prefix indicating compliance for automotive and other high-reliability applications. It meets stringent temperature cycling, humidity, and ESD stress requirements defined in the AEC standard, making it appropriate for infotainment, telematics, and body electronics modules.
How does the 21 pF junction capacitance of the SZESDM3551N2T5G affect USB 2.0 signal integrity?
The 21 pF junction capacitance of the SZESDM3551N2T5G is measured at 0 V and 1 MHz, and remains stable across frequency - resulting in only 0.01 dB insertion loss at 10 MHz. For USB 2.0 (480 Mbps), this capacitance introduces negligible rise-time degradation or eye-diagram closure when placed with short, controlled-impedance traces.
What is the clamping behavior of the SZESDM3551N2T5G under an 8 kV IEC 61000−4−2 contact discharge?
Under an 8 kV IEC 61000−4−2 contact discharge (equivalent to ±30 kV per datasheet), the SZESDM3551N2T5G clamps to 7.5 V (TLP-equivalent) with 16 A peak current. Its low dynamic resistance (0.11 Ω) ensures rapid voltage stabilization, limiting transient exposure to protected ICs well below damage thresholds for 3.3 V and 5 V interfaces.
Does the SZESDM3551N2T5G require external biasing or supporting components?
No, the SZESDM3551N2T5G is a passive bidirectional TVS diode requiring no external bias, resistors, or capacitors. It operates solely between the protected signal line (Pin 1) and ground (Pin 2), relying on its intrinsic PN junction characteristics for clamping - simplifying layout and reducing BOM count.
