Product details
Overview
BZX84C62LT1 from onsemi is a 62 V, ±5% tolerance Zener diode in SOT-23 package, rated for 225 mW power dissipation at 25°C on FR-5 board, with 215 Ω dynamic impedance at 5 mA test current and 0.05 µA reverse leakage at 43.4 V. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in portable power rails and signal conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84C62LT1 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include nominal Zener voltage (62 V), temperature coefficient (+0.4 mV/°C), cathode-anode polarity marking, and SOT-23 footprint compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The BZX84C62LT1 operates as a two-terminal voltage-regulating device relying on controlled reverse-biased avalanche breakdown. Its Zener voltage is specified at three test currents (5 mA, 1 mA, and 20 mA), with corresponding dynamic impedances of 215 Ω, 450 Ω, and 120 Ω - indicating stable regulation across moderate current ranges.
It features a Class 3 ESD rating (>16 kV HBM), Pb-free SOT-23 packaging optimized for automated assembly, and a junction temperature range of −65°C to +150°C. The device exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +0.4 mV/°C at 5 mA, confirming stable voltage drift behavior above 6.2 V threshold.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84C62LT3 | Same electrical specs; differs only in tape-and-reel packaging (10,000 pcs vs. 3,000 pcs) | No functional difference; selected for high-volume production runs requiring larger reels | Choose BZX84C62LT3 when optimizing for SMT line uptime and reduced reel change frequency |
| MMBZ5267BLT1 | 62 V nominal, but tighter ±2% tolerance and 100 mW rating; different Zener impedance profile (150 Ω @ 20 mA) | Higher precision but lower power handling; unsuitable for sustained 5 mA regulation loads | Choose MMBZ5267BLT1 only when absolute voltage accuracy outweighs power capability requirements |
Compared with BZX84C62LT1, BZX84C62LT3 offers identical regulation performance with extended reel capacity for factory automation, while MMBZ5267BLT1 trades 125 mW power headroom for ±2% tolerance - making it viable only in low-power, high-accuracy reference roles.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the BZX84C62LT1?
The BZX84C62LT1 has a nominal Zener voltage of 62 V with a tolerance of ±5%, meaning its actual breakdown voltage falls between 58 V and 66 V when tested at 5 mA. This tolerance is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the official datasheet, where VZ1 min/nom/max values are explicitly listed as 58/62/66 V. The BZX84C62LT1 maintains this specification across its full operating temperature range.
Does the BZX84C62LT1 have a built-in capacitor or integrated circuitry?
No, the BZX84C62LT1 is a discrete two-terminal Zener diode with no internal capacitors or active circuitry. Its 35 pF capacitance is parasitic, arising from the PN junction structure and package geometry - not an added component. All functionality derives solely from controlled avalanche breakdown in the silicon die, as verified in the "ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS" and "TYPICAL CHARACTERISTICS" sections of the datasheet.
Can the BZX84C62LT1 be used in place of a BZX84C68LT1?
No - the BZX84C62LT1 and BZX84C68LT1 have non-overlapping Zener voltage ranges (58–66 V vs. 64–72 V) and distinct dynamic impedances (215 Ω vs. 15 Ω at 5 mA). Substituting BZX84C62LT1 for BZX84C68LT1 would result in incorrect clamping thresholds and degraded regulation stability. The BZX84C62LT1 datasheet does not list BZX84C68LT1 as a compatible variant, and their marking codes (Y19 vs. Y20) confirm separate calibration bins.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for the BZX84C62LT1?
The maximum reverse leakage current for the BZX84C62LT1 is 0.05 µA, measured at a reverse voltage of 43.4 V (70% of nominal VZ). This value is specified in the "ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS − BZX84CxxxLT1 SERIES" table on page 3 of the datasheet. Leakage remains below this threshold across the full −65°C to +150°C junction temperature range, ensuring reliable high-impedance bias network operation.
Is the second pin of the BZX84C62LT1 internally connected?
No, pin 2 of the BZX84C62LT1 is explicitly designated as "No Connection" in the mechanical drawings (page 7) and electrical characteristics notes (pages 3–4). It is an unused lead with no internal bond wire or die connection. PCB layout must leave pin 2 unconnected - neither tied to ground nor routed - to avoid unintended parasitic paths or assembly defects.
