Product details
Overview
SZMMBZ27VCWT3G from onsemi is a dual common-cathode Zener diode TVS device in SC−70 (SOT−323) package, rated for 40 W peak pulse power at 1.0 ms, 27 V nominal Zener breakdown voltage, and 22 V working peak reverse voltage, designed for bidirectional transient voltage suppression in automotive CAN bus and ESD-sensitive signal lines.
For engineers reviewing the SZMMBZ27VCWT3G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include clamping voltage (38 V @ 1.0 A), low leakage (<100 nA @ 22 V), AEC−Q101 qualification, UL 94 V−0 flammability rating, and dual-line protection capability in a space-constrained SC−70 footprint.
Technical Context
This dual Zener TVS operates in bidirectional mode when pins 1 and 2 serve as anodes and pin 3 as shared cathode, enabling symmetrical clamping across two independent signal paths. Its design supports single-wire CAN transceiver protection per SAE J2411, with clamping response defined by the Figure 4 1.0 ms pulse waveform.
The device delivers 16 kV HBM ESD immunity and maintains stable breakdown voltage (±5% tolerance, 25.65–28.35 V at 1 mA) over −55°C to +150°C junction temperature range, with thermal resistance of 618°C/W enabling reliable operation on FR−5 PCBs without forced cooling.

Pinout & Package
SC−70 (SOT−323) surface-mount package with void-free thermosetting plastic case, UL 94 V−0 rated, solderable at 260°C for 10 seconds. Pin configuration follows Style 5: Pin 1 = Anode, Pin 2 = Anode, Pin 3 = Cathode (dual common-cathode topology).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Anode | First protected line input; forms unidirectional Zener path with Pin 3 |
| Pin 2 | Anode | Second protected line input; forms independent unidirectional Zener path with Pin 3 |
| Pin 3 | Cathode | Shared cathode node; enables dual-line protection with single-package integration |

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SZMMBZ27VCWT3G and under what test condition is it specified?
The clamping voltage of SZMMBZ27VCWT3G is 38 V, measured at a peak pulse current (IPP) of 1.0 A using the 1.0 ms exponential waveform defined in Figure 4 of the datasheet. This value represents the maximum voltage imposed on the protected line during a transient event and is critical for ensuring downstream ICs remain within their absolute maximum ratings. The 38 V clamping occurs consistently across the full operating temperature range.
Is SZMMBZ27VCWT3G suitable for bidirectional signal lines such as CAN or USB?
Yes, SZMMBZ27VCWT3G supports bidirectional protection via its dual common-cathode configuration: connecting Pins 1 and 2 to separate signal lines and Pin 3 to ground creates two symmetrical Zener paths. This architecture is explicitly validated for SAE J2411 single-wire CAN and USB 2.0 data lines, delivering matched ±38 V clamping without polarity-dependent layout constraints.
Does SZMMBZ27VCWT3G meet automotive qualification standards?
Yes, SZMMBZ27VCWT3G is AEC−Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, confirming compliance with stress tests including temperature cycling, high-temperature operating life, and ESD robustness required for automotive electronic control units. The "SZ" prefix denotes automotive-grade traceability, site control, and change management per customer requirements.
What is the maximum leakage current of SZMMBZ27VCWT3G and at what voltage is it measured?
The maximum reverse leakage current of SZMMBZ27VCWT3G is 100 nA, measured at the working peak reverse voltage (VRWM) of 22 V and ambient temperature of 25°C. This ultra-low leakage ensures minimal impact on high-impedance signal paths such as sensor interfaces or battery-powered keypad matrices, preserving system accuracy and standby power budget.
How does the SC−70 package of SZMMBZ27VCWT3G support high-density PCB layouts?
The SC−70 (SOT−323) package of SZMMBZ27VCWT3G measures 2.2 mm × 1.35 mm × 1.0 mm and integrates dual Zener protection into a single footprint-replacing two discrete SOD-323 devices and saving ~35% board area. Its standardized pinout (Style 5) and Pb−free finish ensure compatibility with standard reflow profiles and automated optical inspection systems.
