Product details
Overview
SZBZX84C36LT1 from onsemi is a 36 V ±5.6% Zener voltage regulator diode in SOT-23 package, rated for 225 mW power dissipation at 25°C on FR-5 board, with 90 Ω dynamic impedance at 5 mA test current and 0.05 μA reverse leakage at 28.8 V, used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in portable power rails.
For engineers reviewing the SZBZX84C36LT1 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±5.6%), thermal coefficient (+25.2 mV/°C), junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (556 °C/W), and AEC-Q101 qualification status for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal shunt voltage regulator, maintaining stable output voltage across its cathode-anode terminals under varying load conditions via controlled reverse breakdown. Its 36 V nominal Zener voltage is specified at 5 mA test current (IZT), with dynamic impedance measured at both 1 mA and 20 mA to characterize regulation performance across operating ranges.
The diode features a temperature coefficient of +25.2 mV/°C at IZT = 5 mA, indicating positive drift with rising temperature, and exhibits 70 pF capacitance at 0 V bias and 1 MHz - critical for high-frequency noise suppression in low-power analog circuits.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SZBZX84C36LT1?
The SZBZX84C36LT1 has a nominal Zener voltage of 36 V with a tolerance of ±5.6%, meaning the actual breakdown voltage falls between 34 V and 38 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 specifically to the SZBZX84C36LT1 variant within the BZX84CxxxLT1 series.
Is SZBZX84C36LT1 AEC-Q101 qualified?
Yes, SZBZX84C36LT1 is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, as stated in the Features section of the datasheet. The "SZ" prefix denotes automotive and other applications requiring unique site and control change requirements, distinguishing it from commercial-grade BZX84C36LT1 variants that lack this qualification.
What is the thermal resistance of SZBZX84C36LT1 on FR-5 board?
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RJA) of SZBZX84C36LT1 is 556 °C/W when mounted on FR-5 board, with power dissipation derated by 1.8 mW/°C above 25°C ambient. This value is specified in the Maximum Ratings table and directly impacts thermal design margins in enclosed or high-temperature environments.
Does SZBZX84C36LT1 have a connection on pin 2?
No, pin 2 of SZBZX84C36LT1 is internally unconnected (NC), as confirmed in the Pinout diagram and Electrical Characteristics notes. The device uses only pins 1 (anode) and 3 (cathode) for electrical operation; pin 2 serves no circuit function and must remain floating in PCB layout.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for SZBZX84C36LT1?
The reverse leakage current (IR) of SZBZX84C36LT1 is 0.05 μA maximum at 28.8 V (80% of nominal Zener voltage), measured at 25°C ambient. This parameter ensures minimal standby power loss in battery-critical applications and is verified in the Electrical Characteristics table under the "Max Reverse Leakage Current" column for the SZ/BZX84C36LT1, G entry.
