Product details
Overview
SZBZX84C56LT1 from onsemi is a 56 V ±5% Zener voltage regulator diode in SOT-23 package, rated for 225 mW power dissipation on FR-5 board, with 200 Ω dynamic impedance at 5 mA test current and 110 µA maximum reverse leakage at 44.8 V, used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in portable power rails.
For engineers reviewing the SZBZX84C56LT1 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection factors include Zener voltage tolerance (±5%), thermal coefficient (+39.2 mV/°C), junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (556 °C/W), and AEC-Q101 qualification status for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference with cathode-anode polarity, designed for stable regulation under reverse-biased conditions. It exhibits a nominal Zener voltage of 56 V at 5 mA test current, with temperature coefficient of +39.2 mV/°C and capacitance of 40 pF at 0 V bias and 1 MHz.
The SOT-23 package supports automated surface-mount assembly and provides ESD robustness exceeding 16 kV per Human Body Model. Its junction temperature range spans −65°C to +150°C, enabling use in extended industrial and automotive environments.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SZBZX84C56LT1?
The SZBZX84C56LT1 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±5%, meaning its nominal 56 V breakdown occurs between 52 V and 60 V at 5 mA test current. This tolerance is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the official datasheet, where min/nom/max values are explicitly listed as 52 V / 56 V / 60 V. The SZBZX84C56LT1 maintains this specification across its qualified operating temperature range.
Is SZBZX84C56LT1 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SZBZX84C56LT1 is AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, as stated in the Features section of the datasheet. The "SZ" prefix explicitly denotes automotive and other applications requiring unique site and control change requirements. This qualification covers stress testing for temperature cycling, humidity, mechanical shock, and ESD-ensuring reliability in engine control, body electronics, and ADAS subsystems where the SZBZX84C56LT1 is deployed.
What is the thermal resistance of SZBZX84C56LT1 on FR-5 board?
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RJA) of SZBZX84C56LT1 is 556 °C/W when mounted on FR-5 board, as specified in the Maximum Ratings table. This value applies at TA = 25°C and assumes standard pad layout per JEDEC standards. Derating is 1.8 mW/°C above 25°C, limiting usable power dissipation in high-temperature environments-a critical parameter for thermal design when using SZBZX84C56LT1 in enclosed enclosures or near heat sources.
Does SZBZX84C56LT1 have a no-connect pin, and how should it be handled?
Yes, SZBZX84C56LT1 has Pin 2 designated as "No Connection" per the marking diagram and Electrical Characteristics table. This terminal is internally unconnected and must remain electrically floating in PCB layout-no trace, pad, or plane should connect to it. Incorrect routing to ground or power would compromise device function and may cause unexpected leakage paths. The SZBZX84C56LT1 pinout (1-Anode, 2-NC, 3-Cathode) is fixed and non-configurable.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for SZBZX84C56LT1?
The maximum reverse leakage current for SZBZX84C56LT1 is 110 µA at 44.8 V (80% of nominal Zener voltage), as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This parameter defines the upper limit of current drawn before breakdown onset and directly impacts quiescent power loss in always-on bias networks. At 25°C ambient, the SZBZX84C56LT1 remains well within this spec, ensuring predictable turn-on behavior in precision reference applications.
