Product details
Overview
SZBZX84C4V3ET1G from onsemi is a 4.3 V ±0.3 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 3.0 μA maximum reverse leakage at 1.0 V reverse voltage. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in low-power portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the SZBZX84C4V3ET1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±0.3 V), thermal coefficient (−3.5 mV/°C), ESD robustness (>16 kV HBM), and SOT-23 footprint compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable voltage across its cathode-anode terminals under varying load currents. Its Zener voltage is specified at three test currents (1 mA, 5 mA, 20 mA), with impedance rising at lower currents-90 Ω at 5 mA, 600 Ω at 1 mA-enabling predictable regulation in both active bias and transient suppression roles.
The SOT-23 package features a defined pinout (Pin 1: Anode, Pin 2: No Connection, Pin 3: Cathode) and supports automated assembly with Pb-free RoHS-compliant finish. Junction temperature range spans −65°C to +150°C, and it meets AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive applications requiring controlled change management.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 4.0–4.6 V @ 5 mA - tight 4.3 V nominal ensures stable reference in 3.3 V rail monitoring circuits |
| Power Dissipation | 250 mW @ 25°C on FR-5 board - limits thermal rise in compact battery-powered designs |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 90 Ω @ 5 mA - defines output impedance for voltage regulation accuracy under load variation |
| Reverse Leakage Current | 3.0 μA @ 1.0 V - enables low-quiescent-current bias networks without significant error |
| Temperature Coefficient | −3.5 mV/°C @ 5 mA - negative drift allows compensation in temperature-sensitive references |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV HBM) - protects against handling-induced damage during manual assembly |
| Capacitance | 450 pF @ 0 V, 1 MHz - impacts high-frequency noise filtering and signal integrity in RF-adjacent nodes |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84C4V3ET1G | Non-automotive grade; lacks AEC-Q101 qualification and SZ-prefix process controls | Approved for consumer/portable electronics only; not validated for automotive temperature cycling or PPAP | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive qualification requirements and full traceability is not mandated |
| MMSZ4V3T1G | Same 4.3 V nominal, but 350 mW power rating and 500 pF capacitance; different SOD-123 package | Higher power margin suits higher-current bias networks; larger footprint requires PCB redesign | Choose when thermal headroom >250 mW is needed and SOT-23 space constraints are relaxed |
Compared with SZBZX84C4V3ET1G, BZX84C4V3ET1G offers identical electrical specs but no automotive qualification, while MMSZ4V3T1G trades SOT-23 compactness for higher power and higher capacitance-requiring layout changes and altering high-frequency response.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SZBZX84C4V3ET1G at 5 mA test current?
The SZBZX84C4V3ET1G has a Zener voltage range of 4.0 V to 4.6 V at 5 mA, yielding a nominal 4.3 V with ±0.3 V absolute tolerance. This specification is measured under standard conditions (TA = 25°C) and reflects the device's ability to maintain regulation within this band during steady-state operation. The SZBZX84C4V3ET1G datasheet confirms this range in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 2.
Does SZBZX84C4V3ET1G support automotive applications?
Yes, SZBZX84C4V3ET1G is AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, with the "SZ" prefix indicating automotive-grade process controls, unique site management, and enhanced change notification protocols. It operates across −65°C to +150°C and is validated for use in engine control modules, body electronics, and infotainment systems where reliability under thermal stress is critical. The SZBZX84C4V3ET1G product family explicitly targets these applications per onsemi's ordering information.
What is the thermal resistance of SZBZX84C4V3ET1G on FR-5 board?
The thermal resistance from junction to ambient (RJA) for SZBZX84C4V3ET1G is 500°C/W when mounted on an FR-5 board, based on the 250 mW power rating derated above 25°C at 2.0 mW/°C. This value determines how much the junction temperature rises above ambient per milliwatt of dissipated power-critical for predicting thermal performance in enclosed or high-ambient environments. The SZBZX84C4V3ET1G datasheet specifies this in the Maximum Ratings table on page 1.
How is the pinout configured for SZBZX84C4V3ET1G in SOT-23?
SZBZX84C4V3ET1G uses Style 8 pinout per onsemi's mechanical drawings: Pin 1 is Anode, Pin 2 is No Connection (must remain unconnected), and Pin 3 is Cathode. The cathode is marked by a polarity band on the package body. This configuration is confirmed in the marking diagram and Electrical Characteristics section of the SZBZX84C4V3ET1G datasheet, and differs from dual-anode or gate-configured SOT-23 variants.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for SZBZX84C4V3ET1G?
The maximum reverse leakage current for SZBZX84C4V3ET1G is 3.0 μA at 1.0 V reverse voltage and TA = 25°C, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This low leakage enables use in high-impedance bias networks and battery-backed circuits where standby current must be minimized. The SZBZX84C4V3ET1G maintains this spec across its full operating temperature range, supporting ultra-low-power design goals.
