Product details
Overview
SZBZX84C3V3LT1 from onsemi is a 3.3 V, ±5% tolerance Zener diode in SOT-23 package, rated for 225 mW power dissipation on FR-5 board at 25°C, with 95 Ω dynamic impedance at 5 mA test current and 5 µA maximum reverse leakage at 1 V reverse voltage. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in low-power portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the SZBZX84C3V3LT1 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±5%), thermal resistance (556 °C/W), ESD rating (>16 kV HBM), cathode-anode polarity marking, and Pb-free SOT-23 compatibility with automated assembly.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage regulator using controlled reverse-biased avalanche breakdown. Its nominal Zener voltage of 3.3 V is specified at 5 mA test current (IZT), with temperature coefficient of −3.5 mV/°C and capacitance of 450 pF at 0 V bias and 1 MHz.
The SOT-23 package features a defined pinout (Pin 1: Anode, Pin 2: No Connection, Pin 3: Cathode), corrosion-resistant finish, UL 94 V-0 flammability rating, and maximum soldering temperature of 260°C for 10 seconds. It is AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable for automotive use.

FAQ
What is the exact Zener voltage tolerance for SZBZX84C3V3LT1?
The SZBZX84C3V3LT1 has a nominal Zener voltage of 3.3 V with a tolerance of ±5%, meaning the actual measured voltage falls between 3.1 V and 3.5 V when tested at 5 mA (IZT) and 25°C ambient temperature. This tolerance is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the official onsemi datasheet revision 14.
Is SZBZX84C3V3LT1 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SZBZX84C3V3LT1 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 qualification covers temperature cycling, humidity testing, and mechanical stress validation per automotive reliability standards.
What is the thermal resistance of SZBZX84C3V3LT1 on FR-5 board?
The thermal resistance (RJA) of SZBZX84C3V3LT1 is 556 °C/W when mounted on an FR-5 board at 25°C ambient. This value is derived from its 225 mW power rating and 1.8 mW/°C derating factor above 25°C, defining the junction-to-ambient temperature rise under steady-state operation.
Does SZBZX84C3V3LT1 have a built-in ESD protection rating?
Yes, SZBZX84C3V3LT1 carries an ESD rating of Class 3 (>16 kV) per the Human Body Model (HBM), as stated in the Features section of the datasheet. This rating applies to both anode and cathode terminals and eliminates the need for external ESD suppressors in most portable electronics designs.
What is the pin configuration and polarity marking for SZBZX84C3V3LT1?
SZBZX84C3V3LT1 uses the SOT-23 package with Pin 1 as Anode, Pin 2 as No Connection (unbonded), and Pin 3 as Cathode. The cathode is marked by a visible polarity band on the package body - consistent across all BZX84CxxxLT1 and SZBZX84CxxxLT1G series devices per the Marking Diagram on page 2.
