Product details
Overview
BZX84C43LT1 from onsemi is a 43 V, ±5% tolerance Zener diode in SOT-23 package, rated for 225 mW power dissipation on FR-5 board at 25°C, with 150 Ω dynamic impedance at 5 mA test current and 0.05 µA reverse leakage at 30 V, used for voltage regulation in space-constrained portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84C43LT1 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified electrical specs, thermal derating behavior, cathode-anode terminal mapping, and direct alternatives for low-power voltage reference and overvoltage protection circuits.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference diode, conducting in reverse breakdown to clamp voltage at nominal 43 V with temperature coefficient of +30.1 mV/°C. It exhibits 46.6 pF capacitance at 0 V bias and 1 MHz, and supports pulse-tested Zener voltage measurement per JEDEC JESD22-A114.
The SOT-23 package features void-free thermosetting plastic case, UL 94 V-0 flammability rating, and Pb-free (G-suffix) option. Pin 2 is internally unconnected; only pins 1 (anode) and 3 (cathode) are electrically active.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5267BLT1 | Same 43 V nominal Zener voltage but tighter ±5% tolerance, 100 Ω Zz at 20 mA, 35 pF capacitance | Higher test current rating suits higher-power clamping; lower capacitance benefits RF-sensitive designs | Select when tighter regulation stability under 20 mA load or reduced HF coupling is required |
| BZX84C43-7-F | Identical 43 V rating and ±5% tolerance, but 170 Ω Zz at 5 mA and 45 pF capacitance; same SOT-23 package | Higher dynamic impedance increases voltage droop under load; slightly higher capacitance affects HF response | Choose if sourcing flexibility is prioritized and 150 Ω vs. 170 Ω Zz impact is acceptable in target circuit |
Compared with BZX84C43LT1, MMBZ5267BLT1 offers lower impedance and capacitance for demanding RF or high-current regulation, while BZX84C43-7-F trades minor Zz and C penalties for broader distributor availability-both require validation of thermal derating curves and ESD performance in final layout.

FAQ
What is the maximum power dissipation of BZX84C43LT1 on an FR-5 board?
The BZX84C43LT1 has a maximum power dissipation of 225 mW on FR-5 board at 25°C ambient temperature. Above 25°C, it derates linearly at 1.8 mW/°C, reaching zero dissipation at approximately 158°C ambient. This rating assumes standard JEDEC-defined board conditions and must be validated against actual PCB copper area and airflow in the BZX84C43LT1 application.
Does BZX84C43LT1 have a functional connection on pin 2?
No, pin 2 of the BZX84C43LT1 is internally unconnected (NC). The device uses only pins 1 (anode) and 3 (cathode) for electrical operation. PCB layout must leave pin 2 floating - no trace, pad, or thermal relief should connect to it, as confirmed in the official onsemi datasheet Figure 7 and Package Dimensions section.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for BZX84C43LT1?
The BZX84C43LT1 specifies a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 0.05 µA at VR = 30 V and TA = 25°C. This value is measured under standardized test conditions and reflects the diode's ability to maintain high-impedance blocking behavior well below its 43 V Zener voltage, critical for low-power bias networks and precision voltage references.
Is BZX84C43LT1 RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the BZX84C43LT1 is RoHS-compliant and available in Pb-free form, indicated by the "G" suffix in part marking (e.g., BZX84C43LT1G). The device meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU requirements, with lead content below 1000 ppm, and is qualified for reflow soldering up to 260°C for 10 seconds per the onsemi packaging specification.
How does temperature affect the Zener voltage of BZX84C43LT1?
The BZX84C43LT1 has a positive temperature coefficient of +30.1 mV/°C at IZT = 5 mA, meaning its Zener voltage increases by approximately 30.1 mV for each degree Celsius rise in junction temperature. This behavior is documented in the Electrical Characteristics table and Typical Characteristics Figure 1, and must be factored into voltage reference accuracy over the −65°C to +150°C operating range of the BZX84C43LT1.
