Product details
Overview
SZBZX84C13LT1 from onsemi is a 13 V, ±5% tolerance Zener diode in SOT-23 package, rated for 225 mW power dissipation at 25°C, with 30 Ω dynamic impedance at 5 mA test current and 0.1 μA reverse leakage at 10.4 V, used for precision voltage regulation in portable power rails and reference circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SZBZX84C13LT1 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include nominal Zener voltage (13 V), tolerance (±5%), thermal resistance (556 °C/W), ESD rating (>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 terminals. Its Zener voltage is specified at three test currents (1 mA, 5 mA, 20 mA), with temperature coefficient of +7.0 mV/°C at 5 mA - indicating positive drift above 6 V nominal range.
The SOT-23 package features cathode-indicated polarity band, void-free thermosetting plastic case, UL 94 V-0 flammability rating, and maximum soldering temperature of 260°C for 10 seconds. Pin 2 is internally unconnected - not a functional terminal.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage | 13 V nominal, 12.4–14.1 V min–max at 5 mA - defines regulated output voltage window under standard bias |
| Power Dissipation | 225 mW on FR-5 board at 25°C - sets maximum continuous DC power before thermal derating begins |
| Zener Impedance | 30 Ω max at 5 mA - determines AC regulation stiffness and ripple rejection capability |
| Reverse Leakage | 0.1 μA max at 10.4 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in standby or low-power reference circuits |
| Temp Coefficient | +7.0 mV/°C at 5 mA - quantifies voltage drift per degree Celsius rise, critical for temperature-stable references |
| Capacitance | 120 pF max at 0 V, 1 MHz - impacts high-frequency noise coupling and bypass effectiveness |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV) per HBM - supports robust handling in automated assembly and end-use environments |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23 (Case 318-08) surface-mount plastic package with 3 leads; 2.90 mm length × 1.30 mm width × 0.95 mm height; cathode identified by band on lead 3.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode | Forward-biased input terminal; connects to lower-potential node in reverse-regulation configuration |
| 2 | No Connection | Internally unconnected; no electrical function - must remain floating or grounded per layout best practice |
| 3 | Cathode | Reverse-biased output terminal; ties to regulated voltage node and provides Zener breakdown path |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 225 mW FR-5 Power Rating | Enables compact voltage clamping without heatsinking in space-constrained portable designs |
| ESD Robustness >16 kV HBM | Eliminates need for external ESD protection in handheld and automotive interface circuits |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Validates reliability for automotive body electronics, infotainment power supplies, and ADAS subsystems |
| Pb-Free (G-suffix compatible) | Meets RoHS and ELV compliance requirements without sacrificing thermal or electrical performance |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84C13LT1 | Same 13 V, ±5%, SOT-23, but lacks AEC-Q101 qualification and automotive-grade traceability | Not approved for automotive production; suitable only for commercial-grade consumer or industrial prototypes | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive compliance requirements and lifecycle traceability is not mandated |
| SZBZX84C13LT1G | Identical electrical specs and AEC-Q101 rating; Pb-free (RoHS-compliant) variant with G-suffix marking | Required for new designs targeting EU/China RoHS, WEEE, or automotive PPAP submission with lead-free process control | Choose for production releases requiring Pb-free compliance and full automotive qualification documentation |
Compared with BZX84C13LT1 and SZBZX84C13LT1G, the SZBZX84C13LT1 offers identical Zener performance and AEC-Q101 qualification but uses traditional SnPb termination - making it suitable for legacy manufacturing lines or mixed-technology assemblies where Pb-free reflow is not enforced.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SZBZX84C13LT1?
The SZBZX84C13LT1 has a nominal Zener voltage of 13 V with a tolerance of ±5%, meaning the actual breakdown voltage falls between 12.4 V and 14.1 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 SZBZX84C13LT1 variant within the BZX84CxxxLT1 family.
Is pin 2 of SZBZX84C13LT1 electrically connected?
No, pin 2 of the SZBZX84C13LT1 is internally unconnected - it serves no electrical function and must remain floating in the circuit. The device operates as a two-terminal Zener diode with pin 1 as anode and pin 3 as cathode, as explicitly stated in the "Pinout" notes on pages 2 and 3 of the datasheet.
What is the maximum junction temperature for SZBZX84C13LT1?
The maximum junction and storage temperature range for SZBZX84C13LT1 is −65°C to +150°C, as specified in the Maximum Ratings table on page 2 of the datasheet. This rating enables reliable operation in under-hood automotive environments and industrial equipment with elevated ambient temperatures.
Does SZBZX84C13LT1 meet automotive qualification standards?
Yes, SZBZX84C13LT1 is AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, as stated in the Features section on page 1 of the datasheet. This qualification confirms its suitability for automotive applications including body electronics, infotainment systems, and ADAS power management circuits.
How does the temperature coefficient affect SZBZX84C13LT1 performance?
The SZBZX84C13LT1 has a temperature coefficient of +7.0 mV/°C at 5 mA, meaning its Zener voltage increases by approximately 7 mV per degree Celsius rise in junction temperature. This positive drift is typical for Zeners above 6 V and must be accounted for in precision reference designs operating across wide temperature ranges.
