Product details
Overview
SZBZX84C27LT3G from onsemi is a 27 V ±5% Zener diode in SOT-23 package, rated for 250 mW power dissipation on FR-5 board at 25°C, with 80 Ω dynamic impedance at 2 mA test current and 0.05 µA reverse leakage at 21.4 V. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in low-power portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the SZBZX84C27LT3G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±5%), thermal coefficient (+18.9 mV/°C), ESD rating (>16 kV HBM), and automotive-grade AEC-Q101 qualification.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage regulator using avalanche breakdown in silicon PN junction. Its nominal 27 V Zener voltage is specified at IZT = 2 mA, with temperature coefficient of +18.9 mV/°C indicating positive drift above 25°C. The SOT-23 package enables surface-mount assembly on high-density PCBs while maintaining thermal resistance of 500°C/W on FR-5 substrate.
Designed for stable regulation under low-current conditions, it exhibits 300 Ω dynamic impedance at 10 mA and 70 pF capacitance at 0 V bias and 1 MHz - parameters critical for noise-sensitive analog references and transient suppression in battery-powered systems.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84C27LT3G | Standard tolerance (±5%), non-automotive grade, same SOT-23 package and 27 V rating | Lacks AEC-Q101 qualification and SZ-prefix traceability controls | Select when automotive PPAP or site-specific change control is not required |
| SZBZX84C27LT1G | Same AEC-Q101 qualification and electrical specs, but supplied in 3,000-piece tape-and-reel vs. 10,000-piece for LT3G | Identical performance; differs only in packaging quantity and reel orientation | Choose for prototyping or low-volume production where smaller reels reduce inventory holding cost |
Compared with BZX84C27LT3G and SZBZX84C27LT1G, the SZBZX84C27LT3G offers identical Zener characteristics and automotive qualification but delivers higher volume efficiency through its 10,000-unit tape-and-reel configuration - reducing line changeovers and material handling labor in high-throughput manufacturing.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SZBZX84C27LT3G?
The SZBZX84C27LT3G has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±5%, with a specified range of 25.1 V to 28.9 V at 2 mA test current. This tolerance is defined per the BZX84Cxxx standard series and confirmed in the onsemi datasheet revision 23, page 3. The nominal 27 V rating makes SZBZX84C27LT3G suitable for precision reference designs where moderate regulation accuracy is required without tight-tolerance (B-series) cost premiums.
Is SZBZX84C27LT3G qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SZBZX84C27LT3G is AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, as explicitly stated in the onsemi datasheet section "Features" and ordering information table. The "SZ" prefix denotes automotive and other applications requiring unique site and control change requirements. This qualification covers temperature cycling, mechanical shock, and reliability testing per AEC standards, making SZBZX84C27LT3G appropriate for under-hood and cabin control modules.
What is the pin configuration of SZBZX84C27LT3G?
SZBZX84C27LT3G uses the SOT-23 package with pinout: Pin 1 = Anode, Pin 2 = No Connection (must remain unconnected), Pin 3 = Cathode. This configuration is documented in the "Mechanical Characteristics" section and confirmed in the "ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS" tables on pages 3–4 of the onsemi datasheet. The cathode is marked by a polarity band on the package body.
What is the maximum power dissipation of SZBZX84C27LT3G on FR-5 board?
SZBZX84C27LT3G is rated for 250 mW total power dissipation on FR-5 board at 25°C ambient, with thermal derating of 2.0 mW/°C above that temperature. This value is listed in the "MAXIMUM RATINGS" table on page 2 of the onsemi datasheet. Exceeding this limit risks junction overheating and long-term reliability degradation, especially in enclosed enclosures without forced airflow.
Does SZBZX84C27LT3G have Pb-free and RoHS compliance?
Yes, SZBZX84C27LT3G is Pb-free and RoHS compliant, as confirmed in the "Features" section of the onsemi datasheet: "These Devices are Pb−Free and are RoHS Compliant." The "G" suffix in the part number explicitly denotes Pb-free packaging, and the device meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU requirements for hazardous substance restrictions in electronic equipment.
