Product details
Overview
BZX84C10LT3G from onsemi is a 10 V ±6% Zener diode in SOT-23 package, rated for 250 mW power dissipation at 25°C, with 20 Ω dynamic impedance at 5 mA test current and 0.2 μA reverse leakage at 7.6 V. It provides precision voltage regulation in space-constrained DC biasing and reference circuits for portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84C10LT3G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include nominal Zener voltage tolerance (±6%), thermal coefficient (+4.5 mV/°C), ESD robustness (>16 kV HBM), and SOT-23 footprint compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference diode, conducting in reverse breakdown to clamp voltage across its cathode-anode terminals. Its Zener mechanism delivers stable regulation under varying load currents from 1 mA to 20 mA, with temperature coefficient tightly specified at +4.5 mV/°C over −65°C to +150°C junction range.
The SOT-23 package features void-free thermosetting plastic construction, UL 94 V-0 flammability rating, and Pb-free RoHS compliance. Pin 1 is anode, Pin 2 is no connection, and Pin 3 is cathode - enabling unambiguous polarity identification via molded band marking.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84C10LT1G | Same electrical specs but supplied in 3,000-piece tape-and-reel vs. 10,000-piece for BZX84C10LT3G | Preferred for prototyping or low-volume production where smaller reel size reduces inventory overhead | Select when matching small-batch procurement cycles or evaluating on evaluation boards with limited reel capacity |
| BZX84B10LT1G | Tighter ±2% tolerance (9.8–10.2 V) and identical 20 Ω Zz, but higher cost and lower volume availability | Suitable for metrology-grade references where ±6% tolerance of BZX84C10LT3G is insufficient | Choose only when absolute voltage accuracy outweighs cost sensitivity and supply chain flexibility |
Compared with BZX84C10LT3G, BZX84C10LT1G offers identical performance in a smaller reel format ideal for development, while BZX84B10LT1G trades cost and availability for tighter voltage control - making BZX84C10LT3G optimal for high-volume, cost-sensitive regulation where ±6% tolerance is acceptable.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of BZX84C10LT3G?
The BZX84C10LT3G has a nominal Zener voltage of 10 V with a tolerance of ±6%, meaning the actual breakdown voltage falls between 9.4 V and 10.6 V when tested at 5 mA. This tolerance is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the onsemi datasheet, and applies specifically to the BZX84CxxxLT3G series under standard test conditions (TA = 25°C).
Does BZX84C10LT3G have a no-connect pin, and how is it identified?
Yes, BZX84C10LT3G has a no-connect terminal at Pin 2, as explicitly stated in the datasheet's pinout diagrams (Style 8, page 6) and Electrical Characteristics tables. The device uses a three-terminal SOT-23 package where Pin 1 is anode, Pin 2 is internally unconnected, and Pin 3 is cathode - marked with a polarity band adjacent to Pin 3.
What is the maximum power dissipation for BZX84C10LT3G on FR-5 board?
BZX84C10LT3G is rated for 250 mW total power dissipation on FR-5 board at 25°C ambient temperature, with thermal derating of 2.0 mW/°C above that temperature. This value is specified in the Maximum Ratings table (page 2) and validated for standard 1.0 × 0.75 × 0.62 inch FR-5 substrate per note 1.
Is BZX84C10LT3G suitable for automotive applications?
The BZX84C10LT3G itself is not AEC-Q101 qualified; however, the SZBZX84C10LT3G variant - which shares identical electrical and mechanical specifications - is explicitly qualified for automotive use and PPAP capable. Engineers requiring automotive qualification must select the SZ-prefix version, as noted in the Features section (page 1) and Ordering Information table (page 1).
What is the Zener impedance of BZX84C10LT3G and why does it matter?
BZX84C10LT3G has a maximum Zener impedance (ZZT) of 20 Ω measured at 5 mA test current, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table (page 3). This parameter directly determines how much the output voltage varies under changing load current - lower impedance yields tighter regulation, critical for stable reference generation in analog circuits.
