Product details
Overview
SZSL15T1G from onsemi is a unidirectional ESD protection diode in SOT-23 package, featuring 15 V working peak reverse voltage (VRWM), <10 pF junction capacitance at 1 MHz, 300 W peak pulse power (8 × 20 µs), ±12 kV IEC 61000−4−2 contact discharge rating, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SZSL15T1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include low-capacitance transient suppression for high-speed USB/PCIe lines, unidirectional clamping behavior, thermal derating on FR-5 boards, and Pb-free SOT-23 assembly compatibility.
Technical Context
The SZSL15T1G implements a series-compensated diode architecture to achieve sub-5 pF typical capacitance-significantly lower than conventional TVS diodes-by leveraging series capacitance cancellation between surge and compensating diodes. It operates as a unidirectional clamping device with 16.7 V minimum breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA.
Clamping occurs at ≤24 V under 5 A transient current (VC), with 1.0 µA max reverse leakage at VRWM. Its thermal resistance is 556 °C/W on FR-5 board, and it supports reflow soldering up to 260 °C for 10 seconds.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ESD5Z15T1G | Same SOT-23 package, identical 15 V VRWM and 24 V VC @ 5 A, but 12 pF max capacitance (vs. 10 pF) | Marginally higher capacitance may affect >1 Gbps signaling integrity | Preferred where cost sensitivity outweighs ultra-low capacitance requirement |
| TPD2E001DRYR | 2-channel array in X2SON-4, 15 V VRWM, 12 V VC @ 1 A, 3.5 pF typical capacitance | Lower clamping voltage but limited to 1 A peak current; not rated for 300 W surges | Selected for space-constrained dual-line protection where 5 A surge immunity is not required |
Compared with ESD5Z15T1G and TPD2E001DRYR, the SZSL15T1G delivers superior 300 W surge handling and tighter 10 pF capacitance-making it optimal for automotive and industrial high-speed interfaces demanding both robustness and signal fidelity.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SZSL15T1G at 5 A transient current?
The SZSL15T1G has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 24 V when subjected to a 5 A peak pulse current (8 × 20 µs waveform). This value is specified in the Electrical Characteristics table and ensures downstream ICs remain within safe operating limits during surge events. The clamping behavior is unidirectional, with cathode tied to ground. SZSL15T1G maintains this performance across its full operating temperature range of −55 °C to +150 °C.
Is SZSL15T1G suitable for bidirectional signal lines like USB 2.0 D+ and D−?
SZSL15T1G is a unidirectional ESD protector and is not inherently suitable for bidirectional lines without additional circuitry. For USB 2.0, two SZSL15T1G devices must be connected in inverse-parallel-one anode-to-line/cathode-to-ground, the other cathode-to-line/anode-to-ground-to achieve symmetrical protection. Direct use on single-ended bidirectional paths risks forward conduction during normal signal swings. SZSL15T1G's design assumes a fixed polarity reference to ground.
Does SZSL15T1G meet AEC-Q101 requirements for automotive use?
Yes, SZSL15T1G is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, as confirmed in the ordering information and features section of the official datasheet. It undergoes stress testing including temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), and ESD robustness validation per AEC-Q101 Rev D. The "SZ" prefix denotes automotive-grade traceability and process controls. SZSL15T1G is approved for use in engine control modules, infotainment systems, and ADAS sensor interfaces.
What is the maximum junction capacitance of SZSL15T1G at zero bias?
The maximum junction capacitance (CJ) of SZSL15T1G is 10 pF at 0 V bias and 1 MHz, as stated in the Electrical Characteristics table. Typical capacitance is lower-approximately 5 pF-enabling minimal signal distortion on high-speed interfaces. This low value results from the integrated series-compensating diode architecture, distinguishing SZSL15T1G from standard TVS diodes. Capacitance remains stable across temperature and bias conditions relevant to USB, HDMI, and LVDS applications.
Can SZSL15T1G replace SL15T1G in existing designs?
Yes, SZSL15T1G is a direct replacement for SL15T1G with identical electrical specifications, SOT-23 package, and pinout. The "SZ" prefix indicates enhanced automotive traceability, AEC-Q101 qualification, and PPAP capability-while retaining all performance parameters of the commercial SL15T1G. No layout or schematic changes are needed. SZSL15T1G offers backward compatibility and added assurance for automotive-tier production, making it the preferred choice where qualification and supply chain rigor are required.
