Product details
Overview
NZ9F3V0ST5G from onsemi is a 3.0 V ±4.0% Zener diode in SOD-923 package, rated for 250 mW steady-state power dissipation at 25°C, with 100 Ω maximum Zener impedance at 5 mA test current and 10 µA maximum reverse leakage at 2.4 V, used for precision voltage regulation and ESD protection in space-constrained portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the NZ9F3V0ST5G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, 16 kV HBM ESD rating, tight 3.0 V Zener tolerance, low 0.40 mm body height, and SOD-923 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 at 2.94–3.26 V under 5 mA test current. Its thermal resistance is 500 °C/W, enabling stable regulation up to +150 °C junction temperature with derating above 25 °C.
The NZ9F3V0ST5G features Class 3 ESD robustness (>16 kV HBM), Pb-free matte tin lead finish, MSL 1 reflow compatibility (260 °C peak), and void-free thermosetting plastic encapsulation meeting UL 94 V-0 - all validated for automotive and portable consumer applications.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX584C3V0LT1G | Same 3.0 V nominal Zener, but 350 mW PD, 60 Ω ZZT, SOD-523 package (1.3 mm × 0.85 mm) | Larger footprint; higher power handling but less suitable for <1.0 mm² constrained zones | Select when higher surge energy absorption is required and board area permits larger package |
| MMSZ4684T1G | 3.0 V Zener, 500 mW PD, 150 Ω ZZT, SOD-123 package (3.7 mm × 1.6 mm) | 3.7× larger footprint; higher leakage (50 µA @ 2.4 V); not AEC-Q101 qualified | Choose for cost-sensitive industrial designs where automotive qualification and miniaturization are not mandatory |
Compared with BZX584C3V0LT1G and MMSZ4684T1G, the NZ9F3V0ST5G offers the smallest PCB footprint and automotive qualification at the expense of lower power rating - making it optimal for next-gen wearables and automotive sensor nodes where space and reliability are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of NZ9F3V0ST5G?
The NZ9F3V0ST5G has a specified Zener voltage range of 2.94 V to 3.26 V at 5 mA test current, corresponding to a ±4.0% tolerance around the nominal 3.0 V rating. This tight tolerance is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the official datasheet and enables use in precision reference and clamping applications without additional calibration. The NZ9F3V0ST5G maintains this specification across its full operating temperature range.
Is NZ9F3V0ST5G suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, NZ9F3V0ST5G is AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, as explicitly stated in the device marking column and features section of the datasheet. The "SZ" prefix variant (SZNZ9F3V0ST5G) denotes automotive-grade screening, but the NZ9F3V0ST5G itself shares identical electrical, thermal, and reliability specifications. It meets automotive requirements for temperature cycling, ESD, and mechanical robustness, making it appropriate for BCM, infotainment, and ADAS subsystems.
What is the maximum operating temperature for NZ9F3V0ST5G?
The NZ9F3V0ST5G has a junction and storage temperature range of −65°C to +150°C, per the Maximum Ratings table. Its thermal resistance (RJA) is 500°C/W on FR-4 board, meaning it can sustain continuous operation at +150°C junction temperature only at significantly derated power - e.g., ~150 mW at +85°C ambient. Full 250 mW operation is limited to 25°C ambient, with linear derating at 2.0 mW/°C above that point.
Does NZ9F3V0ST5G have built-in ESD protection?
Yes, NZ9F3V0ST5G is rated Class 3 per Human Body Model (HBM) with >16 kV ESD withstand capability, as documented in the Specification Features section. This intrinsic ESD robustness eliminates the need for supplemental TVS diodes in many I/O protection schemes and is verified through standardized AEC-Q101 testing. The NZ9F3V0ST5G achieves this via optimized junction design and passivation, not external components.
What is the package type and dimensions of NZ9F3V0ST5G?
NZ9F3V0ST5G uses the SOD-923 package (Case 514AB), measuring 1.00 mm × 0.60 mm in footprint and 0.40 mm in height. These dimensions are specified in the Package Dimensions drawing on page 4 of the datasheet and confirmed by mechanical tolerancing per ASME Y14.5M. The SOD-923 footprint allows placement in ultra-dense layouts where even SOD-523 is too large, and the NZ9F3V0ST5G's marking includes a microdot for cathode identification.
