Product details
Overview
SZBZX84C33LT3G from onsemi is a 33 V ±5% Zener diode in SOT-23 package, rated for 250 mW power dissipation at 25°C on FR-5 board, 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 SZBZX84C33LT3G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include nominal Zener voltage tolerance (±5%), thermal coefficient (+23.1 mV/°C), junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (500 °C/W), and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse-biased breakdown mode with a nominal Zener voltage of 33 V at 5 mA test current, exhibiting a positive temperature coefficient of +23.1 mV/°C. Its 80 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT = 5 mA ensures stable regulation under moderate load transients.
The SOT-23 package features three terminals: anode (Pin 1), no connection (Pin 2), and cathode (Pin 3), with cathode polarity marked by a band. It supports automated assembly and meets Class 3 ESD rating (>16 kV HBM).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage | 31 V to 35 V at 5 mA - defines regulated output range for reference or clamping |
| Power Dissipation | 250 mW on FR-5 board - limits continuous operating current to ~7.6 mA at 33 V |
| Zener Impedance | 80 Ω at 5 mA - determines output voltage deviation under 1 mA load change |
| Reverse Leakage | 55 μA max at 24.8 V - sets minimum bias current needed to maintain regulation |
| Temperature Coefficient | +23.1 mV/°C - indicates voltage increases ~0.76 V over 33°C ambient rise |
| Capacitance | 70 pF at 0 V, 1 MHz - impacts high-frequency noise filtering capability |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV HBM) - enables robust handling in manual assembly and field environments |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23 (TO-236) surface-mount plastic package, 2.90 × 1.30 × 1.00 mm, void-free thermosetting case with corrosion-resistant finish; cathode indicated by polarity band; Pb-free and RoHS compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode | Connected to lower-potential node in reverse-bias configuration; must be held ≤33 V below cathode to avoid conduction |
| 2 | No Connection | Internally unconnected; no PCB trace or solder joint required |
| 3 | Cathode | Connected to regulated voltage rail or clamping node; polarity band identifies this terminal |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84C33LT3G | Standard tolerance (±5%), same SOT-23 package and 33 V nominal, but lacks AEC-Q101 qualification | Approved for commercial-grade portable electronics only; not suitable for automotive production | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive qualification requirements |
| SZBZX84C33LT1G | Identical electrical specs and AEC-Q101 qualification, but supplied in 3,000-piece tape-and-reel vs. 10,000-piece for SZBZX84C33LT3G | Preferred for low-volume prototyping or small-batch builds where reel size impacts inventory turnover | Choose for engineering validation or pilot production runs requiring smaller packaging increments |
Compared with BZX84C33LT3G and SZBZX84C33LT1G, the SZBZX84C33LT3G offers identical regulation performance and automotive qualification while optimizing for high-volume manufacturing via larger 10,000-unit reels-reducing changeover frequency and material handling cost per unit.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SZBZX84C33LT3G?
The SZBZX84C33LT3G has a nominal Zener voltage of 33 V with a tolerance of ±5%, meaning its actual breakdown voltage falls between 31.0 V and 35.0 V when tested at 5 mA. This tolerance is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the onsemi datasheet, under the BZX84CxxxLT1 series column for device marking Y12.
Is SZBZX84C33LT3G qualified for automotive use?
Yes, SZBZX84C33LT3G is AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, as explicitly stated in the Features section of the onsemi datasheet. The "SZ" prefix denotes compliance with automotive-specific site and process controls, making it suitable for deployment in engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS subsystems.
What is the thermal resistance of SZBZX84C33LT3G on FR-5 board?
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RJA) of SZBZX84C33LT3G is 500 °C/W when mounted on FR-5 board, per the Maximum Ratings table on page 2 of the datasheet. This value governs temperature rise: at 250 mW dissipation, junction temperature rises 125°C above ambient, limiting continuous operation in high-temperature environments.
Does SZBZX84C33LT3G have a no-connect pin, and how is it identified?
Yes, SZBZX84C33LT3G has Pin 2 designated as "No Connection", as confirmed in the Pinout diagrams on pages 2 and 6 of the datasheet and the Mechanical Case Outline on page 7. This terminal is internally unconnected and must remain un-soldered on the PCB to avoid unintended parasitic paths or mechanical stress.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for SZBZX84C33LT3G?
The maximum reverse leakage current for SZBZX84C33LT3G is 55 μA at 24.8 V (75% of nominal Zener voltage), as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3. This parameter ensures minimal quiescent current draw in standby mode while maintaining reliable turn-on behavior at the rated breakdown voltage.
