Product details
Overview
SZBZX84C3V0LT1G from onsemi is a 3.0 V ±0.2 V Zener diode in SOT-23 package, rated for 250 mW power dissipation on FR-5 board at 25°C, with 95 Ω dynamic impedance at 5 mA test current and −3.5 mV/°C temperature coefficient - used for voltage reference and overvoltage protection in portable power rails.
For engineers reviewing the SZBZX84C3V0LT1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include nominal Zener voltage tolerance (±6.7%), low leakage (≤10 µA @ 1 V), ESD robustness (>16 kV HBM), and automotive-grade AEC-Q101 qualification.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference diode with reverse-biased Zener breakdown at 3.0 V nominal. Its thermal resistance is 500 °C/W junction-to-ambient on FR-5 board, and it maintains stable regulation across −65°C to +150°C junction temperature range.
The SOT-23 package features cathode-indicated polarity band, Pb-free construction, UL 94 V-0 flammability rating, and is qualified per AEC-Q101 for automotive applications. Pin 2 is internally unconnected - only pins 1 (anode) and 3 (cathode) are electrically active.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 2.8–3.2 V @ 5 mA - tight 3.0 V nominal with ±0.2 V tolerance ensures stable reference in low-voltage bias networks. |
| Power Dissipation | 250 mW on FR-5 board @ 25°C - defines maximum continuous DC power handling before thermal derating begins. |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 95 Ω @ 5 mA - indicates voltage regulation stiffness; lower values improve load regulation under varying current. |
| Reverse Leakage Current | ≤10 µA @ 1 V - ensures minimal parasitic current draw in standby or high-impedance sensing circuits. |
| Temperature Coefficient | −3.5 mV/°C @ 5 mA - negative TC enables predictable drift compensation when paired with positive-TC components. |
| Capacitance | 450 pF @ 0 V, 1 MHz - relevant for noise filtering and high-frequency bypass applications near regulated nodes. |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV HBM) - supports robust handling in automated assembly and end-use environments with electrostatic risk. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23 (TO-236) surface-mount plastic package, 2.90 × 1.30 × 1.00 mm, void-free thermosetting case with corrosion-resistant finish. Cathode identified by polarity band. Maximum soldering temperature: 260°C for 10 seconds.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode | Connected to lower-potential node in reverse-bias configuration; carries forward current during transient overvoltage events. |
| 2 | No Connection | Internally unconnected terminal - no electrical function; must remain floating on PCB layout. |
| 3 | Cathode | Connected to higher-potential node; defines Zener breakdown voltage relative to anode; marked with polarity band. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Validated for automotive applications including engine control modules and infotainment power supplies. |
| Pb-Free & RoHS Compliant | Meets global environmental compliance requirements without compromising thermal or electrical performance. |
| Low Zener Impedance | 95 Ω at 5 mA enables precise voltage clamping in feedback loops of LDOs and DC-DC converters. |
| High ESD Robustness | Class 3 HBM (>16 kV) eliminates need for external ESD protection in space-constrained portable designs. |
| Small-Signal Regulation | Optimized for ≤20 mA operation - suitable for biasing, reference generation, and signal-level voltage limiting. |
Applications
| USB Port Overvoltage Protection | Microcontroller I/O Clamp |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
