Product details
Overview
SZNUP3125WTT3G from onsemi is a dual-line bidirectional TVS diode array designed specifically for CAN bus protection in 24 V automotive and industrial networks. It delivers 120 W peak power dissipation per line (8/20 µs), clamps transients to ≤55 V at 2 A, and features matched diode capacitance (≤2%) and <100 nA reverse leakage at 32 V. It is used in high-speed and fault-tolerant CAN transceiver interfaces to meet IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 ESD, IEC 61000-4-4 EFT (50 A), and IEC 61000-4-5 lightning surge standards.
For engineers reviewing the SZNUP3125WTT3G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified package mapping (SC-70/SOT-323), validated terminal roles, confirmed IEC compliance levels, real-world clamping behavior at 1–2 A IPP, and AEC-Q101-qualified alternatives for CAN-FD and fault-tolerant CAN designs.
Technical Context
The SZNUP3125WTT3G integrates two identical bidirectional Zener TVS diodes in a single SC-70 package, enabling symmetrical transient suppression on both CAN_H and CAN_L lines. Its breakdown voltage (35.6–39 V) ensures reliable conduction above normal CAN common-mode swing while maintaining low leakage (<100 nA) at 32 V VRWM.
Clamping is achieved via avalanche breakdown under surge conditions, with VC = 47–60 V across 1–2 A peak pulse current (8/20 µs). Diode capacitance is tightly matched (≤2% difference between lines) and rated at 4.5–6.0 pF at 5 V bias and 1 MHz - critical for preserving signal integrity in high-speed CAN-FD (up to 5 Mbps) and fault-tolerant CAN systems.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar CAN bus protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPD2E001DRYR | Single-channel, 1.5 pF typical capacitance, lower 30 W peak power, no AEC-Q101 qualification | Targeted at low-speed, non-automotive USB/I²C; insufficient for CAN-FD or 24 V truck systems | Select only for cost-sensitive consumer-grade CAN nodes where 120 W surge rating is not required |
| SM712.TCT | Dual-line, 100 W peak power, higher 12 pF capacitance, no diode matching spec, AEC-Q101 not claimed | Used in legacy industrial CAN; higher capacitance may degrade >1 Mbps signal integrity | Acceptable for low-speed (≤500 kbps) CAN where timing skew is less critical than cost |
Compared with TPD2E001DRYR and SM712.TCT, the SZNUP3125WTT3G uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, ≤2% capacitance matching, and 120 W per-line surge capability - making it the only option qualified for automotive CAN-FD and fault-tolerant CAN in harsh 24 V environments.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the SZNUP3125WTT3G in a CAN network?
The SZNUP3125WTT3G serves as a dual-line bidirectional transient voltage suppressor protecting CAN_H and CAN_L signal lines from ESD, EFT, and lightning surges. It clamps transients to safe levels (≤60 V) while maintaining low capacitance and matched performance between lines - ensuring signal integrity and transceiver reliability in automotive and industrial CAN networks. The SZNUP3125WTT3G is explicitly designed for 24 V CAN systems and meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4, IEC 61000-4-4, and IEC 61000-4-5 standards.
Is the SZNUP3125WTT3G qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the SZNUP3125WTT3G is AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, with the "SZ" prefix indicating automotive-grade manufacturing controls and site-specific change management. It operates across −55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature and is validated for automotive under-hood environments, including thermal cycling, humidity testing, and mechanical shock. The SZNUP3125WTT3G is specified for use in trucks, fault-tolerant CAN, and high-speed CAN-FD systems per its official onsemi documentation.
What is the package type and pin configuration of the SZNUP3125WTT3G?
The SZNUP3125WTT3G uses the SC-70 (SOT-323) package with three terminals: Pin 1 is the cathode for CAN_H, Pin 2 is the common anode tied to GND, and Pin 3 is the cathode for CAN_L. This configuration enables symmetrical bidirectional clamping on both data lines within a 2.2 mm × 2.2 mm footprint. The SZNUP3125WTT3G marking includes "42M" per the datasheet, and the device is Pb-free, halogen-free, and RoHS compliant.
How does the SZNUP3125WTT3G compare to standard Zener diodes in CAN protection?
Unlike standard Zener diodes, the SZNUP3125WTT3G features a junction optimized for high peak energy absorption (120 W, 8/20 µs), low leakage (<100 nA), and matched capacitance (≤2%) between CAN_H and CAN_L paths. Standard Zeners lack surge-rated construction and exhibit higher capacitance variation, risking CAN signal distortion. The SZNUP3125WTT3G is purpose-built for CAN transceiver I/O protection - its clamping behavior, thermal derating curve, and IEC test compliance are all validated per automotive and industrial surge standards.
What are the key electrical parameters that define the SZNUP3125WTT3G's surge protection capability?
Key parameters include: VRWM = 32 V (ensures no conduction during normal 24 V operation), VBR = 35.6–39 V (guarantees reliable turn-on before transceiver damage), VC = 47–60 V at 1–2 A IPP (defines maximum voltage imposed on the transceiver during surge), and peak power = 120 W per line. These values - confirmed in the onsemi NUP3125/D datasheet - ensure the SZNUP3125WTT3G meets IEC 61000-4-5 (2 A, 8/20 µs) and ISO 16750-2 load-dump immunity requirements for 24 V systems.
