Product details
Overview
SZBZX84C36LT3G from onsemi is a 36 V ±5% Zener voltage regulator 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 −55°C to +150°C operating junction temperature range. It provides precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in space-constrained portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the SZBZX84C36LT3G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include nominal Zener voltage tolerance (±5%), thermal resistance (500 °C/W), ESD rating (>16 kV HBM), reverse leakage current (≤0.05 μA at 28.8 V), and automotive qualification per AEC-Q101.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference using controlled reverse-biased Zener breakdown. Its 36 V nominal regulation is specified at IZT = 5 mA with ±5% tolerance, and exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +25.2 mV/°C at that condition.
The SOT-23 package features three terminals: anode (Pin 1), no connection (Pin 2), and cathode (Pin 3). Thermal performance is defined for FR-5 board (250 mW, 500 °C/W) and alumina substrate (300 mW, 417 °C/W), supporting stable operation across industrial and automotive ambient conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage | 36 V nominal, 34–38 V range at 5 mA - defines stable regulation point for reference or clamp circuits |
| Power Dissipation | 250 mW on FR-5 board - limits continuous current to ~6.9 mA at 36 V without derating |
| Zener Impedance | 90 Ω at 5 mA - determines output voltage stability under load transients |
| Reverse Leakage | ≤0.05 μA at 28.8 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in standby clamp applications |
| Temperature Coefficient | +25.2 mV/°C at 5 mA - quantifies voltage drift with ambient changes; requires thermal design margin |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV HBM) - enables robust handling in automated assembly and end-use environments |
| Junction Temp Range | −55°C to +150°C - supports operation in under-hood automotive and industrial control enclosures |
Pinout & Package

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode | Connected to lower-potential node in reverse-bias configuration; must be held ≤36 V below cathode for regulation |
| 2 | No Connection | Internally unconnected; electrically isolated; no PCB trace or pad required |
| 3 | Cathode | Connected to higher-potential node; carries full Zener current during regulation or clamping |
Key Features

| Pb-Free & RoHS compliant | Meets global environmental regulations; compatible with lead-free reflow profiles up to 260°C for 10 s |
| Tight thermal resistance control | 500 °C/W junction-to-ambient on FR-5 enables predictable thermal rise in high-density layouts |
| High ESD immunity | Class 3 human-body-model rating eliminates need for external ESD protection in many I/O interfaces |
| Small footprint | SOT-23 package occupies <1 mm² PCB area - ideal for smartphones, wearables, and IoT sensor nodes |

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SZBZX84C36LT3G?
The SZBZX84C36LT3G has a nominal Zener voltage of 36 V with a tolerance of ±5%, 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 onsemi datasheet, and applies across the full operating temperature range of −55°C to +150°C.
Is SZBZX84C36LT3G suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SZBZX84C36LT3G is AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, with the "SZ" prefix explicitly indicating compliance for automotive and other applications requiring unique site and process controls. Its construction, testing, and traceability meet automotive-grade reliability standards, making it appropriate for use in engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS sensor interfaces.
What is the maximum power dissipation of SZBZX84C36LT3G on a standard PCB?
SZBZX84C36LT3G is rated for 250 mW total power dissipation on an FR-5 board at 25°C ambient, with thermal derating of 2.0 mW/°C above that temperature. This corresponds to a maximum steady-state Zener current of approximately 6.9 mA at 36 V before reaching the 250 mW limit, assuming no additional board-level heatsinking.
Does SZBZX84C36LT3G have a no-connect pin, and how should it be handled on the PCB?
Yes, SZBZX84C36LT3G has Pin 2 designated as "No Connection" per the mechanical outline (Style 8) and datasheet pinout. This terminal is internally unconnected and must remain electrically floating-no PCB trace, solder mask opening, or copper pour should contact it. Leaving it unconnected avoids parasitic coupling and ensures specified Zener impedance and leakage performance.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for SZBZX84C36LT3G?
The reverse leakage current for SZBZX84C36LT3G is specified as ≤0.05 μA at VR = 28.8 V (80% of nominal Zener voltage), measured at 25°C. This low leakage ensures minimal current draw in standby clamp or reference configurations, supporting ultra-low-power designs such as battery-operated IoT endpoints and medical wearables.
