Product details
Overview
SZBZX84C56LT1G from onsemi is a 56 V ±7% Zener diode in SOT-23 package, rated for 250 mW power dissipation on FR-5 board, with 200 Ω dynamic impedance at 5 mA test current and 110 µA max reverse leakage at 44.8 V. It provides precision voltage regulation in space-constrained portable electronics and high-density PCBs.
For engineers reviewing the SZBZX84C56LT1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include nominal Zener voltage tolerance (±7%), thermal coefficient (+39.2 mV/°C), ESD rating (>16 kV HBM), and automotive-grade AEC-Q101 qualification.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference diode with cathode-anode polarity, designed for stable DC voltage clamping and regulation under reverse bias. Its Zener breakdown mechanism delivers predictable conduction onset at 56 V nominal with defined temperature drift behavior.
The SOT-23 package supports automated surface-mount assembly and features a no-connection terminal (Pin 2), enabling simplified layout while maintaining thermal performance up to 150°C junction temperature. The device meets Class 3 ESD immunity and is Pb-free/RoHS compliant.

FAQ
What is the nominal Zener voltage and tolerance of SZBZX84C56LT1G?
The SZBZX84C56LT1G has a nominal Zener voltage of 56 V with a tolerance of ±7%, specified at 5 mA test current. This means its actual breakdown voltage falls within 52–60 V under standard conditions. The device maintains this specification across its full operating temperature range and is validated per AEC-Q101 for automotive use. SZBZX84C56LT1G's tight tolerance supports reliable voltage clamping in precision analog circuits.
Does SZBZX84C56LT1G have an internal connection on Pin 2?
No, Pin 2 of SZBZX84C56LT1G is internally not connected (NC). The device uses a three-terminal SOT-23 package with active terminals only on Pin 1 (Anode) and Pin 3 (Cathode). Pin 2 must remain unconnected on the PCB to avoid unintended parasitic paths or thermal stress. This configuration is confirmed in the official onsemi datasheet, Section "Mechanical Characteristics" and "Marking Diagram".
Is SZBZX84C56LT1G suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SZBZX84C56LT1G is AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, making it suitable for automotive applications including engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS sensor interfaces. Its construction meets stringent automotive reliability standards, including extended temperature operation (−65°C to +150°C), high ESD immunity (>16 kV HBM), and process-controlled manufacturing. SZBZX84C56LT1G is explicitly designated with the "SZ" prefix for automotive and other applications requiring unique site and control change requirements.
What is the maximum power dissipation of SZBZX84C56LT1G on FR-5 board?
SZBZX84C56LT1G is rated for 250 mW total power dissipation on FR-5 board at 25°C ambient temperature, with derating of 2.0 mW/°C above that point. This rating assumes standard JEDEC-defined board conditions (1.0 × 0.75 × 0.62 in.). Exceeding this limit risks thermal runaway or accelerated degradation. The device also supports 300 mW on alumina substrate, but SZBZX84C56LT1G's primary design target remains compact FR-5 PCBs in portable and automotive systems.
How does the temperature coefficient affect SZBZX84C56LT1G's regulation accuracy?
SZBZX84C56LT1G has a positive temperature coefficient of +39.2 mV/°C at 5 mA, meaning its Zener voltage increases linearly with rising junction temperature. Over a 100°C range, this results in ~3.92 V shift - critical for high-accuracy references. Designers must account for this drift in closed-loop feedback or calibration routines. SZBZX84C56LT1G's coefficient is tightly controlled and documented in the datasheet's "Electrical Characteristics" table, enabling precise compensation in temperature-sensitive applications.
