Product details
Overview
SZBZX84C3V9ET3G from onsemi is a 3.9 V ±0.2 V Zener diode in SOT-23 package, rated for 250 mW power dissipation at 25°C on FR-5 board, with 90 Ω dynamic impedance at 5 mA test current and −2.5 mV/°C temperature coefficient. It provides precision voltage regulation in space-constrained portable electronics such as battery-powered sensors and low-voltage microcontroller reset circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SZBZX84C3V9ET3G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include nominal Zener voltage tolerance (±5.1%), reverse leakage current (≤3.0 µA at 1.0 V), thermal coefficient stability, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference using avalanche breakdown in silicon PN junction. Its Zener voltage is specified at three test currents (1 mA, 5 mA, and 20 mA), enabling stable regulation across varying load conditions. The SOT-23 package supports automated placement and reflow soldering with 260°C peak temperature tolerance.
Thermal resistance is 500 °C/W on FR-5 board and 417 °C/W on alumina substrate, defining maximum allowable ambient temperature rise under continuous DC bias. ESD robustness exceeds 16 kV per Human Body Model, supporting handling in standard manufacturing environments without special precautions.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SZBZX84C3V9ET3G at 5 mA test current?
The SZBZX84C3V9ET3G has a Zener voltage specification of 3.7 V minimum to 4.1 V maximum at IZT = 5 mA, representing a ±5.1% tolerance around the nominal 3.9 V rating. This tolerance is verified per onsemi's Electrical Characteristics table on page 2 of the August 2024 datasheet revision, and applies under TA = 25°C conditions with pulse testing to avoid self-heating effects. The SZBZX84C3V9ET3G maintains this specification across its qualified operating temperature range.
Is SZBZX84C3V9ET3G suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SZBZX84C3V9ET3G is AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, with the "SZ" prefix explicitly indicating automotive and other applications requiring unique site and control change requirements. Its construction, test protocols, and traceability meet automotive quality standards, and it is rated for junction temperatures from −65°C to +150°C. The SZBZX84C3V9ET3G is documented in onsemi's official datasheet as compliant for use in engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS subsystems.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for SZBZX84C3V9ET3G at 1.0 V bias?
The maximum reverse leakage current for SZBZX84C3V9ET3G is 3.0 µA at VR = 1.0 V and TA = 25°C, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 2 of the onsemi datasheet. This value is measured under standardized test conditions and reflects worst-case leakage for design margining in ultra-low-power applications. The SZBZX84C3V9ET3G exhibits this performance consistently across its qualified production lots.
Does SZBZX84C3V9ET3G have a no-connect pin, and how should it be handled on PCB?
Yes, SZBZX84C3V9ET3G has Pin 2 designated as "No Connection" per the mechanical outline and pinout definition in the onsemi datasheet (Style 8, page 5). This terminal is internally unconnected and must remain electrically floating on the PCB - no trace, pad, or ground connection should be made. The SZBZX84C3V9ET3G pinout requires only Pins 1 (Anode) and 3 (Cathode) to be routed, with Pin 2 left isolated to prevent unintended parasitic coupling.
What is the thermal resistance junction-to-ambient for SZBZX84C3V9ET3G on FR-5 board?
The thermal resistance junction-to-ambient (RJA) for SZBZX84C3V9ET3G is 500 °C/W when mounted on FR-5 board, as stated in the Maximum Ratings table on page 1 of the onsemi datasheet. This value assumes standard JEDEC-defined board dimensions (1.0 × 0.75 × 0.62 inches) and defines the temperature rise per watt of dissipated power. At 250 mW maximum dissipation, this yields a 125°C junction-to-ambient delta, confirming the SZBZX84C3V9ET3G's suitability for ambient temperatures up to +25°C in sealed enclosures.
