A common bidirectional TVS with similar specs, but check specific vendor datasheet and pinout.
PESD24VL2BT is a 24V TVS diode in a SOT-23 package for CAN bus ESD protection. Several functional alternatives with matching packages and voltage ratings are available, but require datasheet verification for pinout and capacitance before substitution.
While the package is SOT-23, the pinout (GND, I/O1, I/O2) must be identical. This is the most critical check.
Most candidates have matching voltage and stronger current ratings. Clamping voltage and capacitance must be checked for signal integrity.
Several alternatives from major manufacturers are available, suggesting good supply chain options.
Direct replacement for PESD24VL2BT should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.
PESD2CANFD24L-TR from Nexperia is the strongest candidate due to its close parametric match, AEC-Q101 qualification, and reputable manufacturer.
The primary risk is a pinout mismatch. SOT-23 packages have multiple common pin configurations for TVS diodes.
