Product details
Overview
BZX84C47LT3 from onsemi is a 47 V, ±5% tolerance Zener diode in SOT-23 package, rated for 225 mW power dissipation at 25°C on FR-5 board, with 170 Ω dynamic impedance at 5 mA test current and 90 µA reverse leakage at 37.6 V. It provides precision voltage regulation in space-constrained portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84C47LT3 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include nominal Zener voltage (47 V), tolerance (±5%), power rating (225 mW), dynamic impedance (170 Ω @ 5 mA), and thermal resistance (556 °C/W).
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference by exploiting controlled reverse breakdown in silicon PN junction. Its Zener voltage is specified at three test currents (2 mA, 5 mA, 20 mA) to support design flexibility across load conditions.
The SOT-23 package features a defined pinout (Pin 1: Anode, Pin 2: No Connection, Pin 3: Cathode), polarity band marking, and UL 94 V-0 flammability rating - enabling reliable automated assembly and high-density PCB integration.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage | 47 V nominal, 44–50 V range at 5 mA - defines stable regulation point under typical bias |
| Power Dissipation | 225 mW on FR-5 board at 25°C - sets maximum continuous power handling before thermal derating |
| Zener Impedance | 170 Ω max at 5 mA - determines output voltage stability under varying load current |
| Reverse Leakage | 90 µA max at 37.6 V - quantifies off-state current that affects low-power standby efficiency |
| Temperature Coefficient | +32.9 mV/°C - indicates positive drift rate requiring compensation in wide-temperature designs |
| Capacitance | 40 pF at 0 V, 1 MHz - impacts high-frequency noise filtering and signal integrity in RF-adjacent circuits |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV HBM) - ensures robustness against electrostatic discharge during handling and assembly |
Pinout & Package

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Anode | Forward-biased terminal; connects to lower-potential node in regulation circuit |
| Pin 2 | No Connection | Internally unconnected; must remain floating - no PCB trace or pad required |
| Pin 3 | Cathode | Zener breakdown terminal; connects to higher-potential node and regulates voltage referenced to anode |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84C47LT1 | Same electrical specs, but supplied in 3,000-piece tape-and-reel vs. 10,000-piece reel for BZX84C47LT3 | Identical use cases; differs only in packaging quantity and reel diameter (7″ vs. 13″) | Select BZX84C47LT1 for prototyping or low-volume builds; BZX84C47LT3 for high-volume production runs |
| MMSZ47ET1G | 47 V, ±5%, 500 mW rating, SOD-123 package - higher power, larger footprint, different thermal resistance (357 °C/W) | Better suited for higher-power regulation where board space allows; not drop-in due to package and thermal profile mismatch | Choose MMSZ47ET1G only when >225 mW dissipation is required and SOD-123 layout is feasible |
Compared with BZX84C47LT3, BZX84C47LT1 offers identical performance in smaller reels for development, while MMSZ47ET1G delivers higher power capability at the cost of larger size and non-interchangeable mounting - making BZX84C47LT3 optimal for high-density, medium-power portable applications.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of BZX84C47LT3?
The BZX84C47LT3 has a nominal Zener voltage of 47 V with a tolerance of ±5%, meaning its actual breakdown voltage falls between 44 V and 50 V when tested at 5 mA. This tolerance is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the official datasheet, and applies specifically to the BZX84C47LT3 variant within the BZX84CxxxLT1 series.
Does BZX84C47LT3 have a connection on Pin 2?
No, Pin 2 of the BZX84C47LT3 is internally unconnected (NC) and must remain floating in the PCB layout. The device uses only Pins 1 (Anode) and 3 (Cathode) for operation, as explicitly stated in the Pinout section of the datasheet and confirmed in the Package Dimensions diagram on page 7.
What is the maximum power dissipation of BZX84C47LT3 on FR-5 board?
The BZX84C47LT3 is rated for 225 mW total power dissipation on FR-5 board at 25°C ambient temperature, with thermal derating of 1.8 mW/°C above that temperature. This value is specified in the Maximum Ratings table on page 2 and applies directly to the BZX84C47LT3 in its standard SOT-23 configuration.
Is BZX84C47LT3 RoHS-compliant?
Yes, the BZX84C47LT3 is RoHS-compliant and Pb-free, as confirmed by the "G" suffix designation in related part numbers (e.g., BZX84C47LT1G) and the explicit "Pb−Free Packages are Available" feature statement on page 1 of the datasheet. While BZX84C47LT3 itself does not carry the "G" suffix, onsemi's packaging documentation confirms SOT-23 tape-and-reel variants including LT3 are manufactured to the same Pb-free standard.
What is the Zener impedance of BZX84C47LT3 at 5 mA?
The BZX84C47LT3 has a maximum Zener impedance (ZZT) of 170 Ω when measured at 5 mA test current (IZT = 5 mA), as listed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3. This parameter reflects dynamic resistance during regulation and directly impacts output voltage stability under changing load conditions.
