Product details
Overview
SZBZX84C13LT3G from onsemi is a 13 V ±8.5% Zener diode in SOT-23 package, rated for 250 mW power dissipation on FR-5 board at 25°C, with 30 Ω dynamic impedance at 5 mA test current and 0.1 μA reverse leakage at 10.4 V. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in low-power portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the SZBZX84C13LT3G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include nominal Zener voltage tolerance (±8.5%), thermal coefficient (+7.0 mV/°C), ESD rating (>16 kV HBM), junction temperature range (−65°C to +150°C), and SOT-23 footprint compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage-regulating diode with cathode-anode polarity, requiring no external biasing circuitry. Its Zener breakdown mechanism delivers stable reverse conduction above 12.4 V (min) and below 14.1 V (max) at 5 mA, with dynamic impedance tightly controlled at ≤30 Ω under specified test conditions.
The SOT-23 package supports automated surface-mount assembly and provides Class 3 ESD immunity (>16 kV per Human Body Model). Thermal resistance is 500 °C/W (junction-to-ambient on FR-5), enabling reliable operation up to 150°C junction temperature without derating below 25°C ambient.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 12.4 V (min) to 14.1 V (max) at IZT = 5 mA - defines regulation band for stable reference generation |
| Power Dissipation | 250 mW on FR-5 board at 25°C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling in standard PCB layout |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | ≤30 Ω at IZT = 5 mA - determines output voltage stability under varying load current |
| Reverse Leakage Current | ≤0.1 μA at VR = 10.4 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in standby or sensing circuits |
| Temperature Coefficient | +7.0 mV/°C at IZT = 5 mA - quantifies voltage drift across operating temperature range |
| Capacitance | 120 pF at VR = 0 V, f = 1 MHz - impacts high-frequency noise filtering and transient response |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV) per Human Body Model - enables robust handling in manual assembly and field environments |
Pinout & Package
SZBZX84C13LT3G uses the SOT-23 (TO-236) plastic surface-mount package (Case 318, Style 8), measuring 2.90 mm × 1.30 mm × 1.00 mm with 1.90 mm lead pitch. Cathode is marked by a polarity band on the package body.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode | Connected to lower-potential node in reverse-bias configuration; carries forward current during conduction |
| 2 | No Connection | Internally unconnected terminal; must remain floating - no PCB trace or pad required |
| 3 | Cathode | Connected to higher-potential node in reverse-bias configuration; defines regulated output reference point |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84C13LT1G | Same electrical specs but supplied in 3,000-piece tape-and-reel vs. 10,000-piece for SZBZX84C13LT3G; non-automotive grade marking | Lacks SZ-prefix AEC-Q101 qualification and PPAP capability - unsuitable for automotive production programs | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive compliance requirements and volume demand is <3k units/batch |
| SZBZX84C12LT3G | 12 V nominal Zener voltage (11.4–12.7 V range), +6.0 mV/°C tempco, 25 Ω ZZT - lower voltage and tighter impedance than SZBZX84C13LT3G | Better suited for 12 V system rails where tighter regulation margin is needed; not interchangeable without circuit recalibration | Choose for legacy 12 V reference designs requiring improved thermal stability and reduced dynamic impedance |
Compared with BZX84C13LT1G, SZBZX84C13LT3G adds automotive qualification and larger reel packaging, while SZBZX84C12LT3G offers a lower-voltage alternative with superior impedance and temperature coefficient - neither is pin-compatible drop-in replacement without validation of voltage margin and thermal drift in target application.
