Product details
Overview
SZSM05T1G from onsemi is a dual common-anode ESD protection diode array in SOT-23 package, designed for transient overvoltage and electrostatic discharge protection of two signal lines. It features 5.0 V working peak reverse voltage, 300 W peak pulse power (8/20 µs), ≤1.0 µA reverse leakage at VRWM, 9.8 V clamping voltage at 1 A IPP, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use.
For engineers reviewing the SZSM05T1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include bidirectional/unidirectional configuration flexibility, low clamping voltage under surge, board-space-efficient dual-line protection, and UL 94 V-0 flammability rating for safety-critical PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The SZSM05T1G integrates two monolithic silicon avalanche diodes sharing a common anode (Pin 3), enabling independent unidirectional protection of two I/O lines (Pins 1 and 2 to Pin 3). Its junction design meets IEC 61000-4-2 ±15 kV air / ±26 kV contact ESD immunity and IEC 61000-4-5 12 A lightning surge capability.
Thermal performance is specified for both FR-5 board (RJA = 556 °C/W) and alumina substrate (RJA = 417 °C/W), with maximum junction temperature rated from −55 °C to +150 °C. The device operates with typical capacitance of 225 pF at 0 V bias, supporting high-speed data line protection without excessive signal distortion.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Working Peak Reverse Voltage | 5.0 V - Sets maximum continuous DC or AC signal swing before conduction begins. |
| Clamping Voltage @ 1 A IPP | 9.8 V - Limits transient voltage seen by protected IC during 8/20 µs surge, safeguarding downstream logic. |
| Peak Pulse Power | 300 W - Sustains single 8/20 µs transients up to 17 A without failure per IEC 61000-4-5 Level 2. |
| ESD Withstand (IEC 61000-4-2) | ±26 kV contact - Meets automotive and industrial interface port immunity requirements without external circuitry. |
| Reverse Leakage @ VRWM | ≤1.0 µA - Minimizes standby current draw and avoids signal integrity degradation in high-impedance nodes. |
| Capacitance @ 0 V | 225 pF - Compatible with USB 2.0, RS-232, and other sub-480 Mbps interfaces where loading must be controlled. |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes - Validated for automotive electronics applications including infotainment, body control, and ADAS sensor interfaces. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23 (TO-236) package, case 318, style 12: 2.90 mm × 1.30 mm × 1.00 mm, void-free thermosetting plastic, Pb-free, UL 94 V-0 rated.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Cathode (Line 1) | Protected I/O path #1; connects to signal line requiring ESD clamping to common anode. |
| Pin 2 | Cathode (Line 2) | Protected I/O path #2; enables dual-line protection with shared ground/anode return. |
| Pin 3 | Anode (Common) | Shared return node; typically tied to system ground or local reference plane for low-inductance surge path. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual common-anode topology | Enables compact protection of two independent signal lines using one SOT-23 footprint-reducing BOM count and PCB area by 50% vs. discrete diodes. |
| Configurable unidirectional operation | Each cathode-to-anode path functions as a standalone TVS; supports asymmetric signal rails or mixed-voltage interface protection. |
| Low clamping voltage (9.8 V @ 1 A) | Ensures protected ICs (e.g., microcontrollers with 5 V I/O tolerance) remain within safe operating voltage during fast transients. |
| Pb-free and RoHS-compliant | Meets global environmental compliance mandates without derating or reliability trade-offs; compatible with standard reflow profiles (260 °C/10 s). |
| UL 94 V-0 flammability rating | Confirms encapsulant resistance to flame propagation under fault conditions-critical for medical and automotive end equipment certification. |
Applications
| USB 2.0 Port Protection | Automotive Infotainment I/O |

| Industrial HMI Keypad Interface | Medical Sensor Signal Conditioning |
|

IC Role / Device Role: Common-anode dual TVS connecting each scan line to local ground plane. Use Value: 300 W peak power handles repetitive ESD strikes; low leakage (<1 µA) prevents false key detection in high-impedance pull-up networks. |

IC Role / Device Role: Low-capacitance transient suppressor placed at connector entry point, before precision op-amp stages. Use Value: 225 pF capacitance minimizes gain error and phase shift in DC-coupled biosignal paths; UL 94 V-0 supports IEC 60601-1 enclosure compliance. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SM05T1G | Same electrical specs and SOT-23 package, but lacks AEC-Q101 qualification and SZ-prefix automotive traceability controls. | Approved for commercial/industrial use only; not suitable for automotive production programs requiring PPAP documentation. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive qualification needs and full lifecycle traceability is not required. |
| TPD2E001DRYR | Lower capacitance (12 pF), lower clamping (8.5 V @ 1 A), but rated only for 120 W peak power and non-automotive grade. | Better for high-speed USB 3.0 or HDMI; insufficient for IEC 61000-4-5 lightning surge or automotive ESD robustness requirements. | Prefer for ultra-high-speed interfaces where <15 pF loading is mandatory; avoid where 300 W surge margin or AEC-Q101 is mandated. |
Compared with SM05T1G and TPD2E001DRYR, the SZSM05T1G uniquely combines automotive qualification, 300 W surge capability, and dual-line SOT-23 integration-making it the only option among the three qualified for safety-critical automotive ECU I/O protection without layout or BOM changes.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the SZSM05T1G in circuit protection?
The SZSM05T1G serves as a dual-line transient voltage suppression diode array, providing ESD and surge protection for two independent signal paths. Its common-anode configuration allows both cathodes (Pins 1 and 2) to clamp to a shared reference (Pin 3), making SZSM05T1G ideal for protecting differential pairs or parallel I/O lines without requiring separate ground returns.
Can the SZSM05T1G be used in bidirectional signal lines like USB D+ and D−?
Yes - although internally unidirectional (cathode-to-anode), the SZSM05T1G can protect bidirectional data lines by connecting Pin 3 (anode) to ground and routing each signal through its respective cathode (Pins 1 and 2). This configuration provides symmetrical clamping during positive and negative transients, and SZSM05T1G's 225 pF capacitance ensures compatibility with USB 2.0 signaling integrity.
How does the SZSM05T1G differ from the standard SM05T1G?
The SZSM05T1G includes the "SZ" prefix denoting automotive-grade manufacturing controls, AEC-Q101 qualification, PPAP capability, and enhanced traceability for site-specific change management. While SM05T1G shares identical electrical specs and packaging, SZSM05T1G undergoes additional stress testing and process validation - meaning SZSM05T1G is approved for automotive production, whereas SM05T1G is limited to commercial/industrial use.
What is the maximum allowable soldering temperature for the SZSM05T1G?
The SZSM05T1G is rated for a maximum lead solder temperature of 260 °C for 10 seconds, consistent with standard Pb-free reflow profiles. This specification is validated for its void-free, corrosion-resistant SOT-23 thermosetting plastic package, and adhering to this limit ensures mechanical integrity and wire-bond reliability - critical for long-term field operation of SZSM05T1G in automotive and medical applications.
Does the SZSM05T1G require external components to function as an ESD protector?
No - the SZSM05T1G operates as a standalone ESD protection device with no external components required. Its integrated dual-diode structure provides complete clamping functionality when Pin 3 is connected to a low-inductance ground reference. Layout best practices (short traces, direct ground stitching) maximize performance, but SZSM05T1G itself needs no series resistors, capacitors, or auxiliary ICs to meet IEC 61000-4-2 ±26 kV contact discharge requirements.
