Product details
Overview
SZBZX84C39LT1 from onsemi is a 39 V, ±5% tolerance Zener diode in SOT-23 package, rated for 225 mW power dissipation at 25°C on FR-5 board, with 130 Ω dynamic impedance at 5 mA test current and 70 µA maximum reverse leakage at 31.1 V. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in portable power rails and low-power sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SZBZX84C39LT1 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include nominal Zener voltage (39 V), tolerance (±5%), thermal coefficient (+27.3 mV/°C), junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (556 °C/W), and ESD rating (>16 kV HBM).
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage regulator using avalanche breakdown in silicon PN junction. Its Zener voltage is specified at three test currents (2 mA, 5 mA, 20 mA), enabling stable reference generation across varying load conditions. The SOT-23 package supports automated placement and reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020.
It features a cathode-anode configuration with pin 2 unconnected, exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +27.3 mV/°C at 5 mA, and maintains ≤45 pF capacitance at 0 V bias and 1 MHz - critical for high-frequency noise suppression in feedback paths.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage | 39 V nominal, 37–41 V min/max range at 5 mA - defines clamping threshold for 3.3 V/5 V rail protection circuits |

| Zener Impedance | 130 Ω at 5 mA - determines regulation stiffness under dynamic load transients |
| Reverse Leakage | 70 µA max at 31.1 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in standby mode |
| Temperature Coefficient | +27.3 mV/°C at 5 mA - quantifies voltage drift over industrial temperature range (−65°C to +150°C) |
| Capacitance | 45 pF max at 0 V, 1 MHz - limits high-frequency coupling in signal path filtering |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV) per HBM - enables direct integration into handheld device I/O protection |
Pinout & Package

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84C39LT1 | Same electrical specs but non-automotive grade; lacks AEC-Q101 qualification and SZ prefix | Not suitable for automotive production; acceptable for consumer-grade prototyping | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive qualification requirements |
| SZBZX84C39LT1G | Pb-free variant with identical Zener parameters, thermal specs, and AEC-Q101 status | Direct drop-in replacement where RoHS compliance is mandatory | Choose for new designs requiring lead-free assembly and full automotive traceability |
Compared with SZBZX84C39LT1, BZX84C39LT1 omits automotive qualification and site control, while SZBZX84C39LT1G adds Pb-free compliance without altering regulation performance - making the latter ideal for globally deployed automotive modules requiring both reliability and environmental compliance.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SZBZX84C39LT1?
The SZBZX84C39LT1 has a standard tolerance of ±5%, meaning its Zener voltage is guaranteed between 37 V and 41 V when tested at 5 mA. This tolerance is defined per the BZX84CxxxLT1 series specification and applies across the full operating temperature range of −65°C to +150°C. The SZBZX84C39LT1 datasheet confirms this range in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3.
Does SZBZX84C39LT1 have automotive qualification?
Yes, SZBZX84C39LT1 is AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, as explicitly stated in the "Features" section of the official datasheet. The "SZ" prefix denotes automotive and other applications requiring unique site and process controls, distinguishing it from commercial-grade BZX84C39LT1 variants. This qualification covers stress testing for temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical shock.
What is the thermal resistance of SZBZX84C39LT1 on FR-5 board?
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RJA) of SZBZX84C39LT1 is 556 °C/W when mounted on an FR-5 board, as specified in the "Maximum Ratings" table. This value assumes a standard 1.0 × 0.75 × 0.62 inch board and defines the temperature rise per watt of dissipated power - critical for calculating safe operating area in continuous-clamp applications.
How many pins does SZBZX84C39LT1 use, and what are their functions?
SZBZX84C39LT1 uses three pins in its SOT-23 package: Pin 1 is the anode, Pin 2 is internally unconnected (NC), and Pin 3 is the cathode. This pinout is confirmed in the "Electrical Characteristics" section and marking diagram of the datasheet. Pin 2 must remain unconnected on the PCB to avoid unintended parasitic paths or thermal stress.
Is SZBZX84C39LT1 RoHS compliant?
Yes, SZBZX84C39LT1 is RoHS compliant. The "G" suffix in related part numbers (e.g., SZBZX84C39LT1G) explicitly indicates Pb-free packaging, and the base SZBZX84C39LT1 is manufactured to meet RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU requirements. The datasheet states "Pb−Free Packages are Available" and confirms corrosion-resistant, lead-free finish on the SOT-23 case.
