Product details
Overview
SZMMBZ27VCLT3G from onsemi is a dual common-cathode 27 V Zener diode array in SOT-23 package, rated for 40 W peak pulse power (1 ms), 225 mW steady-state dissipation on FR-5 board, and ±30 kV IEC61000-4-2 contact ESD protection. It serves as bidirectional transient voltage suppressor in automotive CAN bus interfaces and industrial I/O lines.
For engineers reviewing the SZMMBZ27VCLT3G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include clamping voltage at 1.0 A (38 V), working reverse voltage (22 V), leakage current (<50 nA @ 22 V), and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use.
Technical Context
This device integrates two monolithic Zener junctions sharing a common cathode (Pin 3), enabling either dual unidirectional protection (Pins 1–3 and 2–3) or single bidirectional configuration (Pins 1–2). Its thermal resistance is 556 °C/W on FR-5 board and 417 °C/W on alumina substrate.
Designed per IEC61000-4-2 Level 4 (±30 kV contact), it delivers Class 3B HBM ESD rating (>16 kV) with low leakage (<50 nA) and tight breakdown tolerance (25.65–28.35 V @ 1 mA). The SOT-23 package supports high-density PCB layouts in space-constrained automotive and industrial modules.
Key Specifications

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SZMMBZ27VCLT1G | Same electrical specs and package; differs only in tape-and-reel quantity (3,000 vs. 10,000 units per reel) | No functional difference - suitable for prototyping or low-volume production where smaller reels preferred | Select when matching small-batch procurement cycles or evaluating layout compatibility prior to volume ramp |
| SMF27A | Single-channel 27 V TVS; 200 W peak power; DO-214AA package - larger footprint, higher pulse handling | Requires two devices for dual-line protection; not pin-compatible; better suited for high-energy industrial surges | Choose only if system-level testing confirms need for >40 W pulse energy per line and board space permits larger package |
Compared with SZMMBZ27VCLT1G, the SZMMBZ27VCLT3G offers identical performance in a higher-volume reel format; versus SMF27A, it provides integrated dual-line protection in half the PCB area but with lower per-line surge capacity.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the SZMMBZ27VCLT3G at its rated peak pulse current?
The SZMMBZ27VCLT3G has a clamping voltage of 38 V at 1.0 A peak pulse current (IPP), measured per the Figure 5 waveform in the official onsemi datasheet. This value ensures reliable protection of downstream 24 V logic interfaces during ESD events. The SZMMBZ27VCLT3G maintains this clamping performance across its qualified temperature range of −55 °C to +150 °C.
Is the SZMMBZ27VCLT3G suitable for bidirectional signal line protection?
Yes, the SZMMBZ27VCLT3G supports bidirectional protection by connecting Pins 1 and 2 across the signal line and Pin 3 to ground - forming a symmetrical Zener pair. Its dual common-cathode structure enables this configuration without external components. The SZMMBZ27VCLT3G achieves ±30 kV IEC61000-4-2 contact discharge immunity in this mode.
Does the SZMMBZ27VCLT3G meet automotive qualification standards?
Yes, the SZMMBZ27VCLT3G is AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, with testing performed across −55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range. Its Pb-free SOT-23 construction and UL 94 V-0 flammability rating further support deployment in automotive body electronics and powertrain control units. The SZMMBZ27VCLT3G is explicitly listed in onsemi's automotive-grade product portfolio.
What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation of the SZMMBZ27VCLT3G on a standard FR-5 PCB?
The SZMMBZ27VCLT3G dissipates up to 225 mW continuously on an FR-5 board at 25 °C ambient, with derating of 1.8 mW/°C above that temperature. This rating assumes standard JEDEC test conditions (1.0 × 0.75 × 0.62 inch board). The SZMMBZ27VCLT3G thermal resistance is 556 °C/W under these conditions.
How does the pin configuration of the SZMMBZ27VCLT3G enable dual-line protection?
The SZMMBZ27VCLT3G uses Pin 1 and Pin 2 as independent anodes and Pin 3 as their shared cathode, allowing simultaneous protection of two separate signal lines referenced to a common ground. Each anode–cathode path operates as a 27 V Zener, enabling discrete clamping without crosstalk. This architecture is confirmed in the onsemi marking diagram and mechanical outline Style 9.
