Product details
Overview
SZBZX84C36ET1G from onsemi is a 36 V ±5% Zener diode in SOT-23 package, rated for 250 mW power dissipation on FR-5 board at 25°C, with 90 Ω dynamic impedance at 5 mA test current and 0.05 µA reverse leakage at 28.8 V. It provides precision voltage regulation in space-constrained DC bias and reference circuits for portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the SZBZX84C36ET1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±5%), thermal coefficient (+25.2 mV/°C), low capacitance (70 pF at 0 V), AEC-Q101 qualification, and SOT-23 footprint compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference using avalanche breakdown in silicon PN junction. Its nominal Zener voltage of 36 V is specified at 5 mA test current (IZT1), with guaranteed minimum/maximum values of 34 V and 38 V respectively. The temperature coefficient of +25.2 mV/°C indicates positive drift over temperature, requiring compensation in precision references.
It features a three-pin SOT-23 package with Pin 1 = Anode, Pin 2 = No Connection, Pin 3 = Cathode - enabling unidirectional clamping and reverse-biased regulation only. ESD robustness exceeds 16 kV per Human Body Model, supporting handling in automated assembly lines without additional protection.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84C36ET1G | Non-automotive grade; lacks AEC-Q101 qualification and PPAP capability | Approved for consumer portables but not automotive Tier-1 BOMs | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive compliance requirements |
| MMSZ5245B-TP | Same 36 V nominal Zener, but 500 mW rating on FR-4 and 30 Ω impedance at 20 mA | Better thermal performance on thicker boards; higher power margin for surge events | Choose for industrial control systems needing extended surge endurance beyond 225 W peak |
Compared with SZBZX84C36ET1G, BZX84C36ET1G offers identical electrical specs but no automotive qualification, while MMSZ5245B-TP trades smaller SOD-123 footprint for higher power handling and lower impedance - making it suitable for non-space-constrained, high-reliability industrial designs.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SZBZX84C36ET1G at 5 mA test current?
The SZBZX84C36ET1G has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±5% at IZT = 5 mA, with guaranteed minimum and maximum values of 34 V and 38 V respectively. This specification is measured under standard conditions (TA = 25°C) and reflects the device's ability to maintain regulation within this band during normal operation. The SZBZX84C36ET1G datasheet confirms this range in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3.
Does SZBZX84C36ET1G support automotive applications?
Yes, SZBZX84C36ET1G is AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, making it suitable for automotive applications including engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS sensor modules. The "SZ" prefix explicitly denotes automotive-grade screening and process controls. The SZBZX84C36ET1G meets stress tests for temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical shock required by automotive OEMs.
What is the thermal resistance of SZBZX84C36ET1G on an FR-5 board?
The thermal resistance, junction-to-ambient (RJA), of SZBZX84C36ET1G is 500 °C/W when mounted on an FR-5 board. This value corresponds to a total power dissipation rating of 250 mW at TA = 25°C, derating linearly above that temperature. The SZBZX84C36ET1G datasheet specifies this in the Maximum Ratings table on page 1, confirming its suitability for thermally constrained PCB layouts.
How is the pinout configured for SZBZX84C36ET1G in the SOT-23 package?
SZBZX84C36ET1G uses Style 8 pinout for SOT-23: Pin 1 is Anode, Pin 2 is No Connection (unbonded), and Pin 3 is Cathode. The cathode is marked by a polarity band on the package body. This configuration is confirmed in the Mechanical Case Outline section (page 6) and Electrical Characteristics notes (page 2) of the SZBZX84C36ET1G datasheet.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for SZBZX84C36ET1G and at what voltage is it specified?
The maximum reverse leakage current for SZBZX84C36ET1G is 0.05 µA, specified at VR = 28.8 V (80% of nominal Zener voltage). This parameter ensures minimal standby current draw in always-on regulation circuits. The value is documented in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the official SZBZX84C36ET1G datasheet published by onsemi.
