AQ15-02HTG Übersicht

The Littelfuse AQ15-02HTG is a 2-channel, 500 W transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode array designed to protect sensitive electronics from electrostatic discharge (ESD), electrical fast transients (EFT), and lightning-induced surges. Housed in a compact SOT-23-3 surface-mount package, it provides a working voltage of 15 V, a clamping voltage of 30 V at 15 A (8/20 µs), and a peak pulse power rating of 500 W (8/20 µs).

A TVS diode array is a class of discrete semiconductor protection device that uses avalanche-breakdown junctions to clamp transient overvoltages to safe levels in microseconds. TVS arrays sit in the protection-component hierarchy between simple Zener clamps and multi-stage gas-discharge or polymer suppressors, and they belong to the broader category of circuit-protection semiconductors. By integrating two steering diodes and a central TVS die in a single 3-pin package, the AQxx-02HTG series provides differential or single-ended protection on data lines and power rails without requiring multiple discrete components.

Key features include ±30 kV ESD protection per IEC 61000-4-2 (contact and air discharge), ultra-low capacitance of 85 pF suitable for high-speed interfaces, low clamping voltage of 30 V at 15 A peak pulse current, and a low leakage current of 1 µA at the working voltage. The SOT-23-3 package is footprint-compatible with industry-standard 3-pin SOT-23 outlines, enabling drop-in placement on existing PCB layouts.

The AQ15-02HTG uses an avalanche-junction TVS structure combined with low-capacitance steering diodes, achieving sub-nanosecond turn-on time. This architecture absorbs repetitive strikes without performance degradation, making it ideal for industrial and automotive environments exposed to frequent ESD events. The 85 pF line capacitance is acceptable for CAN, RS-485, and general-purpose I/O protection but should be evaluated for USB 2.0 high-speed data lines where lower capacitance is preferred.

Typical applications include industrial CAN bus protection, RS-485 transceiver protection, automotive ECU I/O protection, sensor interface protection, factory automation I/O, and consumer electronics ESD protection on USB and HDMI ports. The AQxx-02HTG series is AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive use.

When designing with this device, place the AQ15-02HTG as close as possible to the connector or ESD entry point, keep the trace between the protected IC and the TVS short, and provide a low-impedance ground return to the chassis or earth ground. Avoid routing protected traces beneath the device to minimize parasitic coupling.

Typische Anwendungen

AQ15-02HTG ist geeignet für 6 Anwendungs: Automotive CAN Bus Protection, Industrial RS-485 Interface Protection, USB Vbus and Data Line ESD Protection, Sensor I/O Protection in Industrial PLCs, Automotive ECU Power Rail Protection, HDMI / DisplayPort ESD Protection.

🚗

Automotive CAN Bus Protection

The AQ15-02HTG's 15 V working voltage matches the 12 V automotive CAN bus rail (which transients up to 18 V during cranking), making it ideal for protecting CAN transceiver I/O pins from ESD and load-dump surges. The device's ±30 kV IEC 61000-4-2 rating absorbs direct human contact discharge during assembly and field service, while the 500 W (8/20 µs) pulse rating handles alternator-induced transients common under the hood. Place the AQ15-02HTG as close as possible to the CAN connector pins, with short ground returns to chassis ground, and route the protected CANH/CANL traces directly to the transceiver to minimize parasitic inductance.

🏭

Industrial RS-485 Interface Protection

The AQ15-02HTG protects industrial RS-485 transceiver data lines from ESD and surge events at the bus connector. Its 85 pF line capacitance preserves signal integrity up to 10 Mbps (sufficient for RS-485 and CAN), while the 30 V clamping voltage safely limits transient excursions that would otherwise exceed transceiver absolute maximum ratings (±15 V typical for RS-485). In factory automation environments with motor drives and solenoids, the AQ15-02HTG's ±30 kV ESD and EFT protection prevents field failures from cable discharge and operator-handling transients.

📱

USB Vbus and Data Line ESD Protection

The AQ15-02HTG provides robust ESD protection on USB Vbus and the lower-speed D+/D- lines of USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 full-speed ports. With ±30 kV IEC 61000-4-2 contact discharge, it exceeds the USB-IF compliance test requirements and prevents user-accessible port failures from cable insertion events. The 1 µA leakage current ensures minimal impact on Vbus rail accuracy, and the 15 V working voltage tolerates USB BC 1.2 charging voltages up to 12 V. For USB 2.0 high-speed data lines, consider the lower-capacitance Littelfuse SP3010-04UTG instead.

🏭

Sensor I/O Protection in Industrial PLCs

In industrial PLC analog and digital sensor inputs, the AQ15-02HTG clamps transient overvoltages that propagate along field wiring from relay coils, solenoids, and motor starters. Its 500 W (8/20 µs) surge rating handles the EFT bursts described in IEC 61000-4-5, while the 85 pF capacitance is acceptable for 4-20 mA loops, 0-10 V analog signals, and 24 V digital inputs. The SOT-23-3 footprint is small enough to place directly on each PLC terminal block input, providing per-channel protection without consuming valuable PCB area.

🚗

Automotive ECU Power Rail Protection

Automotive ECUs operating on 12 V rails are exposed to jump-start transients (up to 24 V), load-dump pulses (up to 35-40 V clamped by the upstream alternator), and reverse-battery events. The AQ15-02HTG provides secondary protection at ECU connector pins, clamping residual transients that pass through the primary bulk TVS at the power inlet. Its AEC-Q101 qualification and -40 °C to +150 °C operating range make it suitable for underhood and cabin-mounted ECUs across passenger, commercial, and off-highway vehicle platforms.

📺

HDMI / DisplayPort ESD Protection

The AQ15-02HTG protects HDMI and DisplayPort connector pins from ESD during cable insertion and removal. With ±30 kV contact discharge immunity, it prevents user-handling damage to the downstream HDMI retimer or level shifter. The 15 V working voltage is suitable for the 5 V HDMI power pin, and the 85 pF capacitance is acceptable for low-speed control lines like DDC and HPD. For high-speed TMDS lanes, use a dedicated low-capacitance (<0.5 pF) TVS like the SP3010-04UTG in parallel.

What is the working voltage and clamping voltage of the AQ15-02HTG?
The AQ15-02HTG has a working voltage (Vrwm) of 15 V and a maximum clamping voltage of 30 V when subjected to a 15 A, 8/20 µs surge pulse. According to the Littelfuse AQxx-02HTG series datasheet, the breakdown voltage (Vbr) is approximately 16.7 V typical, ensuring the device does not conduct during normal 15 V rail operation but rapidly avalanches during transient overvoltage events. This makes it suitable for protecting 12 V automotive and industrial power rails.
What is the peak pulse power rating of AQ15-02HTG?
The AQ15-02HTG is rated for 500 W peak pulse power dissipation on an 8/20 µs waveform. The Littelfuse datasheet specifies a maximum peak pulse current (Ipp) of 15 A, which when combined with the 30 V clamping voltage defines the 500 W surge-handling envelope. Designers must derate this rating for repeated strikes at elevated ambient temperatures, and the device can absorb repetitive ESD strikes of ±30 kV per IEC 61000-4-2 without performance degradation.
Is the AQ15-02HTG suitable for automotive applications?
Yes. The AQ15-02HTG is part of the AQxx-02HTG series, which Littelfuse qualifies to AEC-Q101 for automotive use. The device handles the 15 V nominal rails common in 12 V automotive systems (which routinely swing to 16-18 V during load-dump and jump-start events) while clamping fast transients from alternator noise, relay switching, and induced lightning. Operating temperature range is -40 °C to +150 °C, covering underhood ECU requirements.
What ESD protection level does the AQ15-02HTG provide?
The AQ15-02HTG provides ±30 kV ESD protection on both contact and air discharge per IEC 61000-4-2. This is the maximum test level of the standard and is well above the 8 kV contact / 15 kV air typical IEC requirement. The Littelfuse datasheet confirms the device can absorb repetitive 30 kV strikes without measurable parametric shift, making it suitable for user-accessible interfaces like USB, HDMI, and industrial pushbuttons where direct human contact is expected.
Where can I buy the AQ15-02HTG and what is the current price?
As of 2026-10-06, the AQ15-02HTG is in stock at DigiKey (SKU 10492366), Mouser, TTI, Onlinecomponents, and Avaq. Indicative pricing for a 1-piece sample is approximately $0.65, dropping to roughly $0.32 at 1000-piece quantities. The Littelfuse lead time is typically 9 weeks from factory stock, and distributor stock is generally available for immediate shipment from US and EU warehouses.
What is the lead time for AQ15-02HTG orders?
Factory lead time for the AQ15-02HTG from Littelfuse is approximately 9 weeks for standard reel quantities. As of 2026-10-06, distributor stock is available at DigiKey and Mouser for immediate shipment. For production volumes above distributor stock, it is recommended to place orders 12 weeks in advance to accommodate the 9-week factory lead plus 1-2 weeks for inspection and inbound logistics.
How does the AQ15-02HTG compare to a discrete SMBJ15CA TVS diode?
The AQ15-02HTG integrates two steering diodes plus a TVS die in a SOT-23-3 package, providing 2-channel protection in a single footprint. A discrete SMBJ15CA in DO-214AB is larger, handles more surge current (typically 1000 W at 10/1000 µs), but only protects one line. For multi-line protection on CAN, RS-485, or USB, the AQ15-02HTG offers higher board density; for heavy single-line surge loads, an SMBJ is more robust.
What is the difference between AQ15-02HTG and AQ24-02HTG?
Both share the same SOT-23-3 package and AQxx-02HTG series architecture, but they target different working voltages. The AQ15-02HTG has Vrwm = 15 V (suitable for 12 V automotive/industrial rails), while the AQ24-02HTG has Vrwm = 24 V (suitable for 24 V industrial bus and PoE rails). Clamping voltage scales accordingly (30 V vs 43 V at 15 A). Both are pin-to-pin compatible, allowing board-level voltage selection with the same PCB layout.
Can AQ15-02HTG protect USB 2.0 high-speed data lines?
The AQ15-02HTG has a typical line capacitance of 85 pF, which is acceptable for USB 1.1 (12 Mbps) and CAN/RS-485 but may attenuate USB 2.0 high-speed (480 Mbps) signals. For USB 2.0 and HDMI, consider lower-capacitance alternatives such as the Littelfuse SP3010-04UTG (0.5 pF). The AQ15-02HTG is best suited for power-rail protection, sensor I/O, and slow-speed communication interfaces like UART or LIN bus.
When should I choose AQ15-02HTG over a higher-power TVS array?
Choose the AQ15-02HTG when protecting 12-15 V rails against ESD, EFT, and induced surges in compact PCB designs. Its 500 W (8/20 µs) rating handles automotive transients, USB Vbus, and 24 V industrial bus protection. For higher-energy surges (lightning-induced >10 kA or load-dump >100 V), step up to a higher-power TVS like the Littelfuse AK6, AK10, or PTVS series. The AQ15-02HTG is optimized for density, not raw surge current.
What is the best drop-in replacement for AQ15-02HTG?
The best drop-in replacement for the AQ15-02HTG is the AQ24-02HTG if you need to retarget the same PCB for 24 V rails, since both share the SOT-23-3 footprint and identical pinout. For sourcing flexibility, the onsemi NUP2105LT1G (SOT-23-3, dual-channel, 24 V) is a widely available alternative. Within the Littelfuse family, AQ05-02HTG and AQ12-02HTG cover lower voltage rails with the same package.
Where can I download the AQ15-02HTG datasheet PDF?
The official AQ15-02HTG datasheet can be downloaded from Littelfuse's product page at https://www.littelfuse.com/products/overvoltage-protection/tvs-diode-arrays/automotive-tvs-diode-arrays/aqxx-02htg/aq15-02htg, or directly as a PDF at https://www.littelfuse.com/assetdocs/littelfuse_tvs_diode_array_aqxx_02htg_datasheet.pdf. The datasheet covers absolute maximum ratings, electrical characteristics, 8/20 µs pulse curves, and recommended PCB land patterns for the SOT-23-3 package.
What is the AQ15-02HTG pinout for SOT-23-3?
The AQ15-02HTG in SOT-23-3 follows the standard Littelfuse AQxx pinout: Pin 1 = Line 1 (channel 1 I/O), Pin 2 = Line 2 (channel 2 I/O / common GND depending on configuration), Pin 3 = Ground. Per the Littelfuse datasheet, the two channels can be configured for differential protection (each line to ground) or for single-ended protection. Pin 1 is identified by the dot or chamfer on the SOT-23-3 package outline, matching the standard SOT-23 numbering convention.
Is AQ15-02HTG the same as AQ15-02HT1G?
The AQ15-02HTG is the standard reel-packaged tape-and-reel part; the suffix 'G' indicates Littelfuse's lead-free / RoHS-compliant termination. The AQ15-02HT1G may appear in some distributor catalogs as a tape-and-reel variant. Both share identical electrical specs, SOT-23-3 package, and 500 W (8/20 µs) rating - they are the same silicon die and are functionally interchangeable. Always confirm the exact suffix on the purchase order to ensure matching reel orientation.
What are the key specifications engineers should know about the AQ15-02HTG?
The AQ15-02HTG key specifications are: 15 V working voltage, 30 V clamping at 15 A peak pulse, 500 W peak pulse power on 8/20 µs, 85 pF typical line capacitance, 1 µA maximum leakage, ±30 kV IEC 61000-4-2 ESD rating, and AEC-Q101 automotive qualification. Housed in a SOT-23-3 surface-mount package, it integrates two protection channels per the Littelfuse AQxx-02HTG datasheet, making it suitable for compact automotive ECU, CAN bus, and industrial sensor I/O protection.

Wichtigste Unterscheidungsmerkmale

  • Highest ESD rating in a SOT-23-3 2-channel TVS (vs. SP3010-04UTG)
  • Higher peak pulse power than competing 2-channel SOT-23-3 TVS (vs. NUP2105LT1G)
  • AEC-Q101 automotive qualification across the family (vs. ESD5V0S1B-N)

Designhinweise

Place the AQ15-02HTG as close as possible to the connector or ESD entry point - ideally within 5 mm of the connector pins. Keep the trace between the protected IC and the TVS device short and direct, and provide a low-impedance ground return to chassis ground or the PCB ground plane via multiple vias. Avoid routing protected traces beneath the TVS package to minimize parasitic coupling from the ESD strike into adjacent signals. The exposed pad (if present) should be soldered to a copper pour tied to ground.

The AQ15-02HTG clamps at 30 V when handling a 15 A, 8/20 µs surge. Verify that downstream components tolerate this clamping voltage; many 15 V-rated ICs have absolute maximum ratings of 18-20 V. If the protected IC cannot tolerate 30 V, add a series resistance or upstream PTC to limit surge current, or select the AQ12-02HTG (25 V clamping). For dual-stage protection, pair the AQ15-02HTG with a primary bulk TVS at the connector inlet (e.g., SMBJ series) to share surge energy.

Do not use the AQ15-02HTG on signals above 15 V DC (it will clamp continuously and overheat). Do not assume 85 pF is acceptable for all high-speed interfaces - USB 2.0 high-speed, HDMI, and 1000BASE-T require TVS arrays below 1 pF. Do not place the device on a signal line without a ground return path; floating ground defeats the protection. For multi-line interfaces, ensure each line is routed through a dedicated channel of the AQ15-02HTG to avoid common-mode coupling.
