Product details
Overview
SZBZX84C33LT1 from onsemi is a 33 V, ±5% tolerance Zener diode in SOT-23 package, rated for 250 mW power dissipation at 25°C, with 80 Ω dynamic impedance at 5 mA test current and 55 µA maximum reverse leakage at 24.8 V. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in low-power portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the SZBZX84C33LT1 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include nominal Zener voltage (33 V), tolerance (±5%), thermal coefficient (+23.1 mV/°C), junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (500 °C/W), and AEC-Q101 qualification status for automotive use.
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable voltage across its cathode-anode terminals under varying load or supply conditions. Its 33 V nominal Zener voltage is specified at 5 mA test current (IZT), with dynamic impedance measured at 80 Ω - directly impacting regulation accuracy under transient current changes.
The SZBZX84C33LT1 features a positive temperature coefficient of +23.1 mV/°C, indicating voltage increases with rising junction temperature. It is Pb-free, RoHS-compliant, and qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive applications, with ESD rating >16 kV per Human Body Model.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage | 33 V nominal, min 31 V / max 35 V at 5 mA - defines clamping threshold in protection circuits |
| Power Dissipation | 250 mW on FR-5 board - limits continuous current to ~7.6 mA at 33 V without derating |
| Zener Impedance | 80 Ω at IZT = 5 mA - determines output voltage variation under ±1 mA load change |
| Reverse Leakage | 55 µA max at VR = 24.8 V - sets minimum bias current requirement for reliable turn-on |
| Temp Coefficient | +23.1 mV/°C - requires thermal design margin for ±10°C ambient shift (±231 mV drift) |
| Capacitance | 70 pF at VR = 0 V, f = 1 MHz - affects high-frequency noise filtering capability |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV HBM) - enables direct integration in handheld ESD-prone interfaces |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23 plastic surface-mount package (Case 318, Style 8), void-free thermosetting body, corrosion-resistant finish, UL 94 V-0 flammability rating, 260°C max soldering temperature for 10 seconds.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode | Connected to lower-potential node; reverse-biased during regulation |
| 2 | No Connection | Internally unconnected; must remain floating in PCB layout |
| 3 | Cathode | Connected to higher-potential node; carries regulated voltage output |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Validated for automotive underhood and infotainment systems requiring PPAP documentation |

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SZBZX84C33LT1?
The SZBZX84C33LT1 has a nominal Zener voltage of 33 V with a tolerance of ±5%, meaning the actual breakdown voltage falls between 31 V and 35 V when tested at 5 mA (IZT). This tolerance is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the official datasheet, and applies across the full operating temperature range of −65°C to +150°C.
Is SZBZX84C33LT1 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SZBZX84C33LT1 is AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, making it suitable for automotive applications including engine control modules, body electronics, and infotainment systems. The "SZ" prefix explicitly denotes compliance with automotive-specific site and process controls, and the device meets stringent requirements for temperature cycling, humidity testing, and mechanical shock endurance.
What is the pin configuration of SZBZX84C33LT1?
SZBZX84C33LT1 uses the SOT-23 package with three terminals: Pin 1 is the anode, Pin 2 is internally unconnected (must remain floating), and Pin 3 is the cathode. This pinout is documented in the "Electrical Characteristics" section (page 3) and confirmed in the "Package Dimensions" diagram (page 7) of the datasheet, with cathode identified by the polarity band on the package body.
What is the maximum power dissipation of SZBZX84C33LT1?
The maximum power dissipation of SZBZX84C33LT1 is 250 mW on FR-5 board at TA = 25°C, derating linearly by 2.0 mW/°C above that temperature. On alumina substrate, it rises to 300 mW at 25°C. These ratings are defined in the "Maximum Ratings" table (page 2) and determine safe continuous current limits - e.g., ~7.6 mA at 33 V on FR-5 before derating begins.
Does SZBZX84C33LT1 have ESD protection?
Yes, SZBZX84C33LT1 has an ESD rating of Class 3 (>16 kV) per the Human Body Model (HBM), as stated in the "Features" section (page 1) and verified in the "Absolute Maximum Ratings" summary. This level of ESD immunity allows direct integration into handheld and portable electronics without additional external ESD components in most cases.
