Product details
Overview
SZBZX84C51LT1G from onsemi is a 51 V ±6% Zener diode in SOT-23 package, rated for 250 mW power dissipation on FR-5 board, with 180 Ω dynamic impedance at 5 mA test current and 100 nA reverse leakage at 38.25 V, used for precision voltage regulation in portable power rails and reference circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SZBZX84C51LT1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±6%), temperature coefficient (+35.7 mV/°C), low capacitance (40 pF), AEC-Q101 qualification, and Pb-free SOT-23 packaging for space-constrained automotive and industrial designs.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference diode with cathode-anode polarity, designed for stable reverse-biased breakdown at nominal 51 V. Its thermal resistance of 500 °C/W enables operation up to +150 °C junction temperature under defined derating conditions.
The SZBZX84C51LT1G exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +35.7 mV/°C at 5 mA, indicating increasing Zener voltage with rising temperature - a critical factor in temperature-sensitive reference designs. It delivers 48.1–54.6 V regulation across 1–20 mA operating current range, with 100 nA leakage at 38.25 V reverse bias.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SZBZX84C51LT1G?
The SZBZX84C51LT1G has a nominal Zener voltage of 51 V with a tolerance of ±6%, meaning its actual breakdown voltage falls between 48.0 V and 54.0 V when tested at 5 mA. This tolerance is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the official onsemi datasheet. The SZBZX84C51LT1G maintains this specification across its qualified operating temperature range and is validated per AEC-Q101 stress tests.
Is SZBZX84C51LT1G suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SZBZX84C51LT1G is explicitly qualified to AEC-Q101 standards and supports PPAP documentation, making it suitable for automotive applications such as body control modules and infotainment power supplies. The "SZ" prefix denotes automotive-specific process controls and site qualifications. Its thermal rating (−65°C to +150°C junction), ESD robustness (>16 kV HBM), and Pb-free RoHS compliance meet automotive Tier-1 supplier requirements.
What is the pin configuration of SZBZX84C51LT1G?
The SZBZX84C51LT1G uses the SOT-23 package with Style 8 pinout: Pin 1 is Anode, Pin 2 is No Connection (internally unconnected), and Pin 3 is Cathode. This configuration is documented in the marking diagram and mechanical outline on page 2 of the datasheet. The cathode is marked by a polarity band on the package body, and Pin 2 must remain unconnected on the PCB.
How does temperature affect the Zener voltage of SZBZX84C51LT1G?
The SZBZX84C51LT1G has a positive temperature coefficient of +35.7 mV/°C at 5 mA test current, meaning its Zener voltage increases linearly with rising junction temperature. This value is specified in the Electrical Characteristics table and aligns with typical behavior for Zeners above ~5.6 V. Designers must account for this drift in precision reference circuits, especially in wide-temperature-range automotive or industrial deployments.
What is the maximum power dissipation for SZBZX84C51LT1G on standard PCB material?
The SZBZX84C51LT1G is rated for 250 mW total power dissipation on FR-5 board at 25°C ambient, with derating of 2.0 mW/°C above that temperature. This rating assumes standard JEDEC-defined board construction (1.0 × 0.75 × 0.62 in.). On alumina substrates, the rating increases to 300 mW. Exceeding these limits risks thermal instability or permanent degradation of the SZBZX84C51LT1G's regulation performance.
