Product details
Overview
SZBZX84C3V9LT1G from onsemi is a 3.9 V ±5% Zener diode in SOT-23 package, rated for 250 mW power dissipation on FR-5 board at 25°C, with 90 Ω dynamic impedance at 5 mA test current and −2.5 mV/°C temperature coefficient - used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in portable power rails.
For engineers reviewing the SZBZX84C3V9LT1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±5%), thermal coefficient (−2.5 mV/°C), low leakage (3 µA @ 3 V), ESD robustness (>16 kV HBM), and SOT-23 footprint compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference diode, conducting in reverse breakdown to clamp voltage at 3.9 V nominal with tight regulation across 1–20 mA operating range. Its −2.5 mV/°C temperature coefficient ensures stable reference performance over −65°C to +150°C junction temperature.
The SOT-23 package features cathode-indicated polarity band, Pb-free construction, UL 94 V-0 flammability rating, and 260°C soldering tolerance for reflow compatibility. Pin 2 is internally unconnected - confirmed by mechanical outline Style 8 and electrical characterization tables.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84C3V9LT1G | Same Zener voltage (3.7–4.1 V), identical SOT-23 package, but lacks AEC-Q101 qualification and automotive PPAP support | Restricted to commercial-grade systems; not suitable for automotive OEM or Tier-1 programs | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive compliance requirements |
| SZBZX84C3V3LT1G | Lower nominal Zener voltage (3.3 V), same tolerance (±5%), identical thermal coefficient (−3.5 mV/°C), and package | Used where 3.3 V rail stabilization is required instead of 3.9 V - e.g., FPGA configuration banks | Choose only if system voltage target matches 3.3 V specification; not a drop-in replacement |
Compared with SZBZX84C3V9LT1G, BZX84C3V9LT1G offers identical electrical performance but no automotive qualification, while SZBZX84C3V3LT1G shifts the regulation point downward by 0.6 V - requiring circuit recalibration and altering clamping thresholds in protection schemes.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SZBZX84C3V9LT1G?
The SZBZX84C3V9LT1G has a nominal Zener voltage of 3.9 V with a tolerance of ±5%, meaning its actual breakdown voltage falls between 3.7 V and 4.1 V when tested at 5 mA (IZT). This tolerance is specified per the onsemi datasheet revision 23 and applies across the full operating temperature range of −65°C to +150°C.
Is SZBZX84C3V9LT1G qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SZBZX84C3V9LT1G is AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, meeting the stress-test and reliability requirements for automotive electronics. The "SZ" prefix explicitly denotes automotive-grade manufacturing controls, site-specific process validation, and extended temperature operation up to +150°C junction temperature.
What is the function of Pin 2 on SZBZX84C3V9LT1G?
Pin 2 of SZBZX84C3V9LT1G is a no-connect (NC) terminal - it is internally unconnected and serves no electrical function. Per onsemi's mechanical outline Style 8 and electrical characterization data, this pin must remain unconnected on the PCB to avoid unintended parasitic paths or assembly defects.
How does the temperature coefficient affect SZBZX84C3V9LT1G performance?
SZBZX84C3V9LT1G exhibits a temperature coefficient of −2.5 mV/°C at 5 mA, meaning its Zener voltage decreases by 2.5 mV for every 1°C rise in junction temperature. This allows predictable voltage drift modeling - for example, a 40°C ambient shift causes ~100 mV total deviation, critical for precision reference designs.
Can SZBZX84C3V9LT1G replace BZX84C3V9LT1G in existing designs?
SZBZX84C3V9LT1G is pin-, package-, and electrically compatible with BZX84C3V9LT1G, sharing identical Zener voltage, impedance, leakage, and SOT-23 footprint. However, SZBZX84C3V9LT1G adds AEC-Q101 qualification and automotive PPAP support - making it a direct upgrade path for designs targeting automotive certification without layout changes.
