Product details
Overview
SZQA6V8XV5T1G from onsemi is a quad unidirectional ESD protection diode array in SOT-553 package, featuring 6.8 V nominal breakdown voltage (VBR = 6.46–7.14 V @ 1 mA), 12.5 V max clamping voltage (VC) at 8 A peak pulse current, and 0.1 µA max reverse leakage at 4.3 V working voltage - deployed for I/O line protection in USB 2.0, HDMI, and industrial sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SZQA6V8XV5T1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its 70 pF typical capacitance per diode at 0 V bias, AEC-Q101 qualification, IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 ESD immunity (±30 kV contact), and common-anode quad configuration enabling compact four-line transient suppression.
Technical Context
SZQA6V8XV5T1G integrates four monolithic silicon Zener-based clamping diodes in a single common-anode configuration, optimized for low-capacitance transient voltage suppression on high-speed data lines. Its design targets fast response to ESD events (IEC 61000-4-2) while maintaining signal integrity via sub-70 pF junction capacitance and 12.5 V clamping at 8 A IPP.
The device operates with a 4.3 V working peak reverse voltage (VRWM) and exhibits only 0.1 µA leakage at that bias, supporting low-power interface protection without loading sensitive receivers. Thermal derating follows RJA = 370 °C/W, with maximum junction temperature rated at +150 °C and MSL1 reflow compatibility up to 260 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR @ 1 mA | 6.46–7.14 V - precise breakdown threshold ensures reliable triggering before downstream IC damage |
| VC @ IPP = 8 A | 12.5 V max - limits transient voltage seen by protected ICs during 8/20 µs surges |
| CJ @ 0 V, 1 MHz | 70 pF typical per diode - enables use on USB 2.0 and other ≤480 Mbps interfaces |
| IR @ VRWM = 4.3 V | 0.1 µA max - negligible standby current draw for battery-powered systems |
| ESD Rating | ±30 kV contact / ±30 kV air per IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 - exceeds industrial immunity requirements |
| Package | SOT-553 (Case 463B) - 1.6 × 1.2 × 0.55 mm footprint saves PCB area vs discrete solutions |
| AEC-Q101 | Qualified - supports automotive infotainment and body electronics applications |
Pinout & Package
SZQA6V8XV5T1G uses the SOT-553 (Case 463B) surface-mount package - a 5-pin, lead-free, thermoset plastic case with MSL1 rating and 0.50 mm pitch. Pin assignment follows Style 2: common-anode quad configuration.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode 1 | Input node for first protected line; connects to common anode rail |
| 2 | Common Anode | Shared anode connection for all four diodes; ties to VCC or ground reference |
| 3 | Anode 2 | Input node for second protected line; electrically isolated from Pin 1 |
| 4 | Cathode 2 | Output node for second line; clamps to common anode during overvoltage |
| 5 | Cathode 1 | Output node for first line; completes unidirectional clamp path to common anode |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Quad Common-Anode Architecture | Enables four independent unidirectional clamps in one 1.6×1.2 mm package - reduces component count and layout complexity |
| Low 70 pF Junction Capacitance | Preserves signal rise/fall times on high-speed digital lines (e.g., USB 2.0 D+/D−) without distortion or jitter |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Validated for automotive environments including temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical shock per stress test requirements |
| IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 Compliance | Guarantees robustness against real-world ESD events up to ±30 kV contact discharge - eliminates need for external testing validation |
| Pb-Free & RoHS Compliant | Meets global environmental regulations and supports lead-free reflow assembly without reliability compromise |
Applications
| USB 2.0 Interface Protection | HDMI DDC Line Protection |

IC Role / Device Role: Common-anode quad suppressor routing four low-voltage data paths (e.g., I²C, SPI, UART) to chassis ground. Use Value: 6.8 V VBR aligns with 5 V or 3.3 V supply rails; Pb-free SOT-553 enables automated SMT assembly compatible with automotive PPAP processes. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| NZQA6V2XV5T1G | Lower VBR (5.89–6.51 V), higher leakage (0.5 µA), 80 pF capacitance | Better suited for 5 V logic rails; less ideal for 3.3 V interfaces due to tighter VBR/VRWM margin | Select when protecting 5 V tolerant I/O with higher clamping tolerance |
| SZ1.5SMC6.8AT3G | Single-channel, 6.8 V, DO-214AB package, 100 W PPK, 1000 pF CJ | Higher power handling but unsuitable for high-speed data lines due to excessive capacitance | Use only for DC power rail or low-frequency signal protection where space permits larger package |
Compared with NZQA6V2XV5T1G and SZ1.5SMC6.8AT3G, SZQA6V8XV5T1G uniquely balances low capacitance (70 pF), tight VBR tolerance (±5%), and quad integration - making it optimal for space-constrained, high-speed digital interfaces requiring AEC-Q101 compliance.

FAQ
Is SZQA6V8XV5T1G still in active production?
No, SZQA6V8XV5T1G is marked as discontinued per onsemi's February 2026 datasheet revision. However, Aetrix Electronics maintains access to remaining legacy inventory and qualified alternate sources with full traceability and documentation for ongoing production needs.
What is the exact pin configuration for SZQA6V8XV5T1G?
SZQA6V8XV5T1G uses Style 2 pinout in SOT-553: Pin 1 = Anode 1, Pin 2 = Common Anode, Pin 3 = Anode 2, Pin 4 = Cathode 2, Pin 5 = Cathode 1. This common-anode quad arrangement allows four independent unidirectional clamping paths sharing one anode node.
Does SZQA6V8XV5T1G support bidirectional ESD protection?
No, SZQA6V8XV5T1G is strictly unidirectional. Each diode conducts only when cathode voltage exceeds common anode voltage. For bidirectional protection, two SZQA6V8XV5T1G devices would be required per line - one anode-to-rail, one cathode-to-rail - or a dedicated bidirectional array must be selected.
How does the 70 pF capacitance of SZQA6V8XV5T1G affect USB 2.0 signal integrity?
The 70 pF typical junction capacitance per diode in SZQA6V8XV5T1G introduces minimal loading on USB 2.0 differential pairs - preserving eye diagram margins and meeting USB-IF signal quality requirements up to 480 Mbps. Measured rise/fall time degradation remains under 5% at standard trace impedances.
Can SZQA6V8XV5T1G replace NZQA5V6XV5T1G in a design?
No - SZQA6V8XV5T1G has higher VBR (6.46–7.14 V vs. 5.32–5.88 V) and lower leakage (0.1 µA vs. 1.0 µA), making it unsuitable as a drop-in replacement for 3.3 V logic protection where tighter VBR margin is critical. Redesign validation is required if substituting SZQA6V8XV5T1G for NZQA5V6XV5T1G.
