Product details
Overview
SZBZX84C56ET1G from onsemi is a 56 V, 250 mW Zener diode in SOT-23 package, designed for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in space-constrained circuits. It delivers nominal Zener voltage of 56 V at 1 mA test current, with dynamic impedance of 425 Ω at 10 mA and reverse leakage current ≤50 nA at 44.8 V, making it suitable for voltage reference and clamp functions in portable power management.
For engineers reviewing the SZBZX84C56ET1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±7.1% at 56 V), temperature coefficient (+0.0592 mV/°C), junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (500 °C/W on FR-5 board), and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference diode with cathode-anode polarity, requiring no external bias circuitry. Its Zener breakdown mechanism provides stable reverse conduction above 52 V, with specified performance across −65 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range.
It features Class 3 ESD robustness (>16 kV HBM), peak pulse power handling of 225 W (8 × 20 µs), and Pb-free RoHS-compliant construction. The SOT-23 package supports automated placement and reflow soldering at 260 °C for 10 seconds.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84C56ET1G | Non-automotive grade; lacks AEC-Q101 qualification and PPAP capability | Restricted to commercial-grade consumer electronics; not approved for automotive BOMs | Select only if cost sensitivity outweighs automotive compliance requirements |
| MMSZ5256ET1G | Same 56 V nominal, but 500 mW rating and SOD-123 package; ZZT = 130 Ω at 20 mA | Better regulation stability under higher current loads; larger footprint limits high-density use | Prefer when >250 mW continuous dissipation or lower impedance is required |
Compared with SZBZX84C56ET1G, BZX84C56ET1G omits automotive qualification and has identical electrical specs but no PPAP support, while MMSZ5256ET1G trades smaller SOT-23 size for higher power and lower impedance-making it suitable for non-space-constrained, higher-current reference designs.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SZBZX84C56ET1G at 1 mA test current?
The SZBZX84C56ET1G exhibits a Zener voltage range of 52 V to 60 V at IZT = 1 mA, corresponding to a ±7.1% tolerance around the nominal 56 V rating. This tolerance is verified per onsemi's Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the August 2024 datasheet revision, and applies under TA = 25 °C with pulse testing to avoid self-heating effects. The SZBZX84C56ET1G maintains this specification across its qualified operating temperature range.
Is SZBZX84C56ET1G suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SZBZX84C56ET1G is AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, explicitly designated for automotive use via the "SZ" prefix per onsemi's datasheet. It meets stress test requirements for temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical shock, and is rated for junction temperatures from −65 °C to +150 °C-covering under-hood and cabin environments. The SZBZX84C56ET1G also carries full traceability and lot-level documentation required for Tier 1 automotive supply chains.
What is the thermal resistance of SZBZX84C56ET1G on FR-5 board?
The thermal resistance from junction to ambient (RJA) for SZBZX84C56ET1G is 500 °C/W when mounted on FR-5 board, as specified in the Maximum Ratings table on page 1 of the datasheet. This value assumes standard 1.0 × 0.75 × 0.62 inch board dimensions and defines the derating slope: power dissipation must decrease by 2.0 mW/°C above 25 °C ambient. The SZBZX84C56ET1G's RJA directly impacts maximum allowable continuous current in thermally constrained layouts.
Does SZBZX84C56ET1G have a connected pin 2?
No, pin 2 of SZBZX84C56ET1G is internally unconnected (NC), as confirmed in the Pinout section on page 2 of the datasheet: "(Pinout: 1-Anode, 2-No Connection, 3-Cathode)". This terminal must remain electrically floating-no trace should connect to it-and soldering to pin 2 may compromise mechanical integrity or cause unintended parasitic coupling. The SZBZX84C56ET1G relies solely on pins 1 and 3 for functional operation.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for SZBZX84C56ET1G?
The maximum reverse leakage current (IR) for SZBZX84C56ET1G is 50 nA at VR = 44.8 V (80% of nominal VZ), per the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3. This value is measured at TA = 25 °C and guarantees minimal standby current draw in high-impedance reference networks. The SZBZX84C56ET1G maintains leakage below 100 nA up to 50 °C ambient, supporting low-power design goals in battery-operated systems.
