Product details
Overview
SZBZX84C4V3LT1G from onsemi is a 4.3 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 3 μA reverse leakage at 1 V. It provides precision voltage regulation in space-constrained power rail protection and reference circuits for portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the SZBZX84C4V3LT1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±5%), thermal resistance (500 °C/W), ESD rating (>16 kV HBM), junction temperature range (−65 to +150°C), and Pb-free RoHS compliance.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference diode with cathode-anode polarity, requiring no external biasing. Its Zener breakdown mechanism delivers stable reverse conduction at 4.3 V nominal with −3.5 mV/°C temperature coefficient, enabling predictable drift compensation in low-power analog circuits.
The SOT-23 package supports automated placement and reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020, with maximum soldering temperature of 260°C for 10 seconds. The "SZ" prefix confirms AEC-Q101 qualification and PPAP capability for automotive applications.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SZBZX84C4V3LT1G?
The SZBZX84C4V3LT1G has a nominal Zener voltage of 4.3 V with a tolerance of ±5%, meaning its actual breakdown voltage falls between 4.0 V and 4.6 V when tested at 5 mA. This tolerance is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the onsemi datasheet, and applies across the full operating temperature range of −65°C to +150°C.
Is SZBZX84C4V3LT1G suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SZBZX84C4V3LT1G is AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, with the "SZ" prefix explicitly indicating compliance for automotive and other applications requiring unique site and control change requirements. Its qualification covers thermal cycling, humidity testing, and mechanical shock per AEC standards, making it appropriate for body control modules and infotainment power rails.
What is the pin configuration of SZBZX84C4V3LT1G?
SZBZX84C4V3LT1G uses the SOT-23 package with pinout: Pin 1 = Anode, Pin 2 = No Connection (internally unconnected), Pin 3 = Cathode. This configuration is documented in the marking diagram and Electrical Characteristics section of the datasheet, and must be observed to avoid functional failure or damage during circuit operation.
How does the thermal performance of SZBZX84C4V3LT1G compare between FR-5 and alumina substrates?
SZBZX84C4V3LT1G delivers 250 mW power dissipation on FR-5 board (500 °C/W RJA) versus 300 mW on alumina substrate (417 °C/W RJA). The lower thermal resistance on alumina allows higher power handling at elevated ambient temperatures, while the FR-5 rating reflects typical PCB material usage in cost-sensitive consumer and industrial designs.
Does SZBZX84C4V3LT1G require external current limiting in Zener regulator circuits?
Yes, SZBZX84C4V3LT1G requires an external series resistor to limit forward current during Zener conduction. The resistor value must ensure that maximum power dissipation (250 mW) is not exceeded at worst-case input voltage and load conditions. Typical designs use 100–1 kΩ resistors depending on supply voltage and load current requirements.
