Product details
Overview
SZNZL6V8AXV3T1G from onsemi is a dual common-anode ESD protection diode in SC-89 package, rated for 6.8 V breakdown voltage (VBR = 6.46–7.14 V), 11.9 V clamping voltage (VC) at 1 A surge, and 1.0 µA max reverse leakage at 4.5 V VRWM. It delivers Class N ESD immunity (>16 kV HBM) and meets IEC61000-4-2 Level 4 (±8 kV contact), protecting two I/O lines in space-constrained interfaces like USB or keyboard controllers.
For engineers reviewing the SZNZL6V8AXV3T1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include unidirectional dual-line clamping capability, SC-89 footprint compatibility, automotive-grade AEC-Q101 qualification, and verified 10.1–11.9 V VC performance under 1–73 A peak surge current.
Technical Context
This device implements a monolithic dual-junction silicon structure with shared anode (Pin 3) and separate cathodes (Pins 1 & 2), enabling independent protection of two signal lines without cross-coupling. Its design targets transient suppression in low-capacitance (<30 pF at 0 V bias) high-speed digital interfaces.
The SZNZL6V8AXV3T1G operates within −55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range, features 525 °C/W thermal resistance (RJA), and sustains 240 mW steady-state power dissipation on FR-5 board - derating linearly above 25 °C at 1.9 mW/°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Breakdown Voltage (VBR) | 6.46–7.14 V @ IT = 5 mA - defines minimum trigger threshold for ESD clamping |
| Clamping Voltage (VC) | 11.9 V @ IPP = 1.0 A - maximum voltage seen by protected line during 8/20 µs surge |
| Working Peak Reverse Voltage (VRWM) | 4.5 V - maximum continuous DC voltage before significant leakage onset |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | <1.0 µA @ VRWM - ensures minimal signal loading on high-impedance I/O lines |
| ESD Rating (HBM) | >16 kV - exceeds Class N requirement for robust handling in manufacturing and field use |
| IEC61000-4-2 Level | Level 4 (±8 kV contact, ±15 kV air) - certified for industrial and automotive EMC compliance |
| Package | SC-89 (Case 463C, 1.60 × 0.85 × 0.70 mm) - ultra-compact 3-pin surface-mount footprint |
Pinout & Package
SC-89 package (Case 463C, Style 4) is a void-free, transfer-molded thermosetting plastic housing with 100% matte tin lead finish, MSL 1 rated for 260 °C reflow, and UL 94 V-0 flammability rating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Cathode (Line 1) | Connects to first protected signal line; conducts during positive transients on that line |
| Pin 2 | Cathode (Line 2) | Connects to second protected signal line; independent conduction path from Pin 1 |
| Pin 3 | Common Anode | Shared return path to ground or supply rail; enables dual-line protection in single package |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual unidirectional configuration | Two independent cathodes share one anode - supports discrete protection of two signals without interaction |
| Low dynamic capacitance | <30 pF at 0 V bias - preserves signal integrity in USB 2.0, HDMI, or I²C bus applications |
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive electronics - includes stress testing across temperature, humidity, and lifetime cycles |
| Pb-free, halogen-free, RoHS compliant | Meets global environmental regulations and enables drop-in replacement in legacy designs |
| SC-89 footprint | 1.60 × 0.85 mm body - reduces PCB area by >50% vs. SOIC-8 or SOT-23 dual-diode solutions |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| NZL6V8AXV3T1G | No SZ prefix; standard commercial grade (non-automotive); same electrical specs and SC-89 package | Lacks AEC-Q101 qualification and PPAP documentation support | Select when automotive qualification is not required and cost sensitivity is higher |
| ESD5Z6.8T1G | Same VBR (6.8 V), but bidirectional configuration; 15 pF capacitance vs. 30 pF (unidirectional mode) | Better suited for AC-coupled or symmetric signal lines (e.g., RS-485), not common-anode dual-line | Choose only if bidirectional clamping is needed and dual independent cathodes are unnecessary |
Compared with NZL6V8AXV3T1G and ESD5Z6.8T1G, the SZNZL6V8AXV3T1G uniquely combines AEC-Q101 compliance, dual independent cathode routing, and verified 11.9 V clamping - making it the sole option for automotive dual-line I/O where traceability and process control are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the SZNZL6V8AXV3T1G?
The SZNZL6V8AXV3T1G functions as a dual unidirectional ESD protection diode with common anode configuration. It safeguards two independent signal lines - such as USB D+ and D− - by clamping transient voltages to 11.9 V during 1 A surges. Its design ensures low leakage (<1.0 µA) and tight breakdown voltage (6.46–7.14 V), making the SZNZL6V8AXV3T1G ideal for high-impedance, noise-sensitive interfaces in automotive and industrial systems.
Is the SZNZL6V8AXV3T1G still in active production?
Yes, the SZNZL6V8AXV3T1G remains orderable and supported by onsemi despite discontinuation notices for other variants (e.g., SZNZL5V6AXV3T1G and NZL6V8AXV3T3G). Per onsemi's official ordering table (Page 6, Rev. 8, Sept. 2025), SZNZL6V8AXV3T1G is listed with active "3000 / Tape & Reel" packaging - confirming its current production status and availability through authorized channels including Aetrix Electronics.
How does the SZNZL6V8AXV3T1G differ from the NZL6V8AXV3T1G?
The SZNZL6V8AXV3T1G differs from NZL6V8AXV3T1G solely in qualification and traceability: the "SZ" prefix denotes AEC-Q101 qualification, PPAP capability, and enhanced process controls for automotive applications. Electrically and physically - including VBR, VC, IR, SC-89 package, and pinout - both parts are identical. Therefore, the SZNZL6V8AXV3T1G is the required choice for automotive designs needing certified reliability, while NZL6V8AXV3T1G serves commercial applications.
What is the maximum surge current the SZNZL6V8AXV3T1G can handle?
The SZNZL6V8AXV3T1G is rated for a peak pulse current (IPP) of 73 A under the standardized 8/20 µs waveform (per Figure 5 in the datasheet), delivering 73 W peak power (Ppk). At lower currents - such as 1.0 A - its clamping voltage is guaranteed ≤11.9 V. This performance is validated per IEC61000-4-2 Level 4 testing, ensuring the SZNZL6V8AXV3T1G reliably suppresses ESD events up to ±8 kV contact discharge without degradation.
Can the SZNZL6V8AXV3T1G be used in bidirectional signal protection?
No - the SZNZL6V8AXV3T1G is strictly unidirectional due to its common-anode architecture (Pins 1 & 2 = cathodes, Pin 3 = anode). It protects only positive transients on either line relative to the anode reference. For bidirectional protection (e.g., AC-coupled lines), a dedicated bidirectional device like ESD5Z6.8T1G is required. Using the SZNZL6V8AXV3T1G in bidirectional configurations risks failure during negative excursions, as it lacks reverse conduction capability.
