Product details
Overview
SZBZX84C3V0LT1 from onsemi is a 3.0 V nominal Zener diode in SOT-23 package, rated for 225 mW power dissipation on FR-5 board, with 95 Ω maximum Zener impedance at 5 mA test current and 10 µA reverse leakage at 1.0 V. It provides precision voltage regulation in space-constrained portable electronics such as smartphone power rail clamping and USB interface overvoltage protection.
For engineers reviewing the SZBZX84C3V0LT1 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its ±0.2 V Zener voltage tolerance at 5 mA, −3.5 mV/°C temperature coefficient, 450 pF capacitance at 0 V bias, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference diode with cathode-anode polarity, designed for reverse-biased regulation. Its electrical behavior is defined by Zener breakdown at 3.0 V nominal, with dynamic impedance of 95 Ω at 5 mA and 600 Ω at 1 mA, enabling stable clamping across varying load currents.
The SOT-23 package supports automated surface-mount assembly and delivers thermal resistance of 556 °C/W junction-to-ambient on FR-5 board. It features Class 3 ESD rating (>16 kV HBM), Pb-free construction, and operation across −65°C to +150°C junction temperature range.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84C3V0LT1 | Same Zener voltage range (2.8–3.2 V) and SOT-23 package, but lacks AEC-Q101 qualification and Pb-free designation. | Restricted to commercial-grade consumer electronics; not approved for automotive production. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive compliance requirements and lead-free mandate. |
| SZBZX84C3V0LT1G | Identical electrical specs and AEC-Q101 qualification; differs only in Pb-free marking suffix "G" per ON Semiconductor packaging standard. | No functional difference; both meet same reliability and environmental standards. | Prefer SZBZX84C3V0LT1G for new designs requiring documented RoHS compliance traceability. |
Compared with BZX84C3V0LT1, SZBZX84C3V0LT1 offers certified automotive qualification and Pb-free assurance, while SZBZX84C3V0LT1G provides identical performance with explicit RoHS documentation-making the original SZBZX84C3V0LT1 optimal for legacy automotive builds where "G"-suffix inventory is unavailable.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SZBZX84C3V0LT1 at 5 mA test current?
The SZBZX84C3V0LT1 has a specified Zener voltage range of 2.8 V to 3.2 V at 5 mA test current, yielding a ±0.2 V absolute tolerance. This corresponds to ±6.7% of the nominal 3.0 V rating and is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the official datasheet. The tolerance directly defines the worst-case clamping window in overvoltage protection circuits using the SZBZX84C3V0LT1.
Does SZBZX84C3V0LT1 have a connected pin 2, and what is its function?
No, pin 2 of the SZBZX84C3V0LT1 is internally unconnected (NC) and must remain electrically floating in the PCB layout. As documented in the marking diagram and Electrical Characteristics section, the device uses only pins 1 (anode) and 3 (cathode) for operation. Routing or soldering pin 2 introduces risk of mechanical stress or unintended coupling and violates the validated SOT-23 footprint for the SZBZX84C3V0LT1.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for SZBZX84C3V0LT1, and at what voltage is it measured?
The maximum reverse leakage current for SZBZX84C3V0LT1 is 10 µA, measured at a reverse voltage (VR) of 1.0 V and ambient temperature of 25°C. This value is explicitly listed in the "Max Reverse Leakage Current" column of the BZX84CxxxLT1 series table on page 3. It reflects the diode's off-state conduction limit and directly impacts quiescent power loss in always-on reference circuits using the SZBZX84C3V0LT1.
Is SZBZX84C3V0LT1 qualified for automotive applications, and what standard does it meet?
Yes, SZBZX84C3V0LT1 is AEC-Q101 qualified, as stated in the Features section on page 1 of the datasheet. This qualification validates its reliability for automotive electronic components under stress conditions including temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical shock. The "SZ" prefix specifically denotes parts manufactured to meet automotive and other applications requiring unique site and process controls-confirming the SZBZX84C3V0LT1's suitability for engine control units, ADAS sensors, and infotainment systems.
What is the thermal resistance junction-to-ambient for SZBZX84C3V0LT1 on FR-5 board?
The thermal resistance junction-to-ambient (RJA) for SZBZX84C3V0LT1 is 556 °C/W when mounted on FR-5 board, as specified in the Maximum Ratings table on page 2. This value assumes standard 1.0″ × 0.75″ copper pad layout and defines the temperature rise per milliwatt of power dissipated. At full 225 mW rating, this results in a 125°C junction-to-ambient delta, requiring derating above 25°C ambient per the 1.8 mW/°C slope shown in the datasheet.
