Product details
Overview
SZMMBZ27VCLT1G from onsemi is a dual common-cathode Zener diode array in SOT-23 package, designed for bidirectional ESD and transient voltage protection of two signal lines. It features 27 V nominal breakdown voltage (25.65–28.35 V at 1 mA), 40 W peak pulse power (1 ms), <50 nA reverse leakage at 22 V, and IEC61000-4-2 Level 4 (±30 kV contact) ESD rating - deployed in automotive Single-Wire CAN networks and medical equipment interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SZMMBZ27VCLT1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include clamping voltage (38 V @ 1.0 A), unidirectional/bidirectional configuration flexibility, AEC-Q101 qualification, and dual-line protection in space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device integrates two monolithic silicon Zener junctions sharing a common cathode (Pin 3), enabling either independent unidirectional protection (Pins 1–3 and Pins 2–3) or combined bidirectional protection (Pins 1–2). Its thermal resistance is 556 °C/W on FR-5 board and 417 °C/W on alumina substrate, supporting stable operation from −55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature.
The 27 V nominal Zener voltage exhibits a typical temperature coefficient of ±12 mV/°C, with clamping voltage tightly specified at 38 V under 1.0 A peak pulse current (Figure 5 waveform). It meets Class 3B HBM ESD rating (>16 kV) and UL 94 V-0 flammability standard.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-Zener transient protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SZMMBZ27VCW1T1G | Same electrical specs but W1 suffix indicates different tape-and-reel packaging (10,000 pcs/reel vs. 3,000 pcs/reel); identical SOT-23 pinout and thermal performance | Optimized for high-volume automated assembly where reel size impacts changeover frequency | Select when production volume justifies larger reels and feeder compatibility is confirmed |
| SMF27A | Single-line 27 V TVS diode in SOD-123; no dual-anode topology - requires two devices for same function; higher clamping voltage (41.5 V @ 1 A) | Lacks integrated dual-line capability; suited for discrete line-by-line protection where layout allows extra footprint | Choose only if dual-line integration is unnecessary and existing design uses SOD-123 footprints |
Compared with SZMMBZ27VCLT1G, SZMMBZ27VCW1T1G offers identical protection performance with optimized logistics, while SMF27A provides lower-cost single-line protection at the expense of board area and component count - making SZMMBZ27VCLT1G optimal for space-constrained dual-signal applications.

FAQ
What is the exact Zener breakdown voltage range for SZMMBZ27VCLT1G?
The SZMMBZ27VCLT1G has a guaranteed breakdown voltage range of 25.65 V to 28.35 V at test current IT = 1.0 mA, measured at 25 °C ambient temperature. This ±5% tolerance ensures consistent clamping behavior across production lots and supports reliable overvoltage threshold setting in protected circuits.
Is SZMMBZ27VCLT1G qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SZMMBZ27VCLT1G is AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, with the "SZ" prefix indicating compliance for automotive and other applications requiring unique site and control change requirements. It operates reliably from −55 °C to +150 °C and meets stringent automotive ESD and thermal cycling standards.
How does the dual common-cathode configuration of SZMMBZ27VCLT1G improve PCB layout?
The dual common-cathode configuration of SZMMBZ27VCLT1G allows protection of two independent signal lines using a single SOT-23 footprint - reducing component count by 50%, saving ~1.5 mm² board area, and eliminating routing complexity associated with two discrete Zeners. Pin 3 serves as shared cathode reference for both anodes (Pins 1 and 2).
What is the clamping voltage of SZMMBZ27VCLT1G under surge conditions?
The clamping voltage of SZMMBZ27VCLT1G is 38 V maximum at 1.0 A peak pulse current (per Figure 5 waveform, 1.0 ms pulse width). This value represents the maximum voltage imposed on protected circuitry during standardized ESD and surge events, ensuring downstream ICs remain within safe operating limits.
Does SZMMBZ27VCLT1G support bidirectional transient suppression?
Yes, SZMMBZ27VCLT1G supports bidirectional suppression when configured across Pins 1 and 2 (with Pin 3 floating or tied to a reference), forming a symmetrical ±27 V Zener pair. This enables balanced clamping for AC-coupled or differential signal lines without requiring external components.
