Product details
Overview
SZBZX84C5V1ET3G from onsemi is a 5.1 V ±0.3 V Zener diode in SOT-23 package, rated for 250 mW power dissipation at 25°C on FR-5 board, with 60 Ω dynamic impedance at 5 mA test current and 2.0 µA maximum reverse leakage at 3.0 V. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in low-power portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the SZBZX84C5V1ET3G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its 5.1 V nominal Zener voltage, ±2.7 mV/°C temperature coefficient, 225 pF capacitance at 0 V, AEC-Q101 qualification, and Pb-free SOT-23 footprint compatibility with automated assembly.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage regulator using avalanche and Zener breakdown mechanisms, with specified Zener voltage measured under pulsed 5 mA test current (IZT1) to minimize self-heating error. Its thermal resistance of 500 °C/W on FR-5 board defines derating behavior above 25°C ambient.
The SOT-23 package features a cathode-indicated polarity band, void-free thermosetting plastic case rated UL 94 V-0, and supports reflow soldering up to 260°C for 10 seconds. Pin 2 is internally unconnected - a structural terminal with no electrical function.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 4.8 V to 5.4 V @ 5 mA - ensures stable regulation within ±6% tolerance across production units |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 60 Ω @ 5 mA - limits output voltage variation under load transients in reference circuits |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 2.0 µA @ 3.0 V - enables low-quiescent-current bias networks without significant error contribution |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 250 mW @ TA = 25°C on FR-5 - defines maximum continuous DC power before thermal derating begins |
| Capacitance (C) | 225 pF @ VR = 0 V, f = 1 MHz - impacts high-frequency noise filtering and signal integrity in RF-adjacent nodes |
| Temperature Coefficient | −2.7 mV/°C @ 5 mA - quantifies voltage drift over industrial temperature range (−65°C to +150°C) |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV HBM) - supports robust handling in manual assembly and field-replaceable modules |
Pinout & Package

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84C5V1ET3G | Non-automotive grade; lacks AEC-Q101 qualification and PPAP capability; identical electrical specs and SOT-23 footprint | Approved only for commercial-grade consumer electronics; not permitted in automotive BOMs | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive compliance requirements and lifecycle assurance |
| MMSZ5231BT1G | Same 5.1 V nominal Zener voltage but higher 100 Ω ZZT @ 20 mA; 500 mW power rating on FR-4; different SOD-123 package | Requires PCB layout change due to larger 3.7 mm × 1.6 mm footprint and different thermal path | Choose for higher power margin in space-tolerant designs where thermal performance exceeds SOT-23 limits |
Compared with SZBZX84C5V1ET3G, BZX84C5V1ET3G offers identical regulation performance without automotive validation, while MMSZ5231BT1G trades smaller size for higher power handling and relaxed Zener impedance - making the former suitable for cost-driven commercial use and the latter for thermally constrained industrial applications requiring extended surge endurance.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SZBZX84C5V1ET3G?
The SZBZX84C5V1ET3G has a Zener voltage range of 4.8 V to 5.4 V at 5 mA test current, corresponding to a ±6% tolerance around the nominal 5.1 V value. This specification is verified per onsemi's Electrical Characteristics table on page 2 of the August 2024 Rev. 11 datasheet and applies under standard 25°C ambient conditions with pulsed current to avoid self-heating effects. The SZBZX84C5V1ET3G maintains this tolerance across its qualified production lot releases.
Is SZBZX84C5V1ET3G suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SZBZX84C5V1ET3G is AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, explicitly designated for automotive and other applications requiring unique site and control change requirements. Its qualification covers temperature cycling, humidity testing, and mechanical shock per AEC standards, and it is rated for junction temperatures up to +150°C - making it appropriate for under-hood and cabin-mounted ECUs. The "SZ" prefix in SZBZX84C5V1ET3G confirms this automotive-grade status.
What is the thermal resistance of SZBZX84C5V1ET3G on FR-5 board?
The thermal resistance from junction to ambient (RJA) for SZBZX84C5V1ET3G is 500 °C/W when mounted on an FR-5 board, with power derating beginning above 25°C ambient at 2.0 mW/°C. This value is defined in the Maximum Ratings table on page 1 of the datasheet and directly determines safe operating area limits - for example, at 75°C ambient, maximum allowable continuous power drops to 150 mW. The SZBZX84C5V1ET3G's RJA is fixed by its SOT-23 package geometry and board material properties.
Does SZBZX84C5V1ET3G have a connected pin 2?
No, pin 2 of SZBZX84C5V1ET3G is internally unconnected - it serves only as a mechanical support terminal in the SOT-23 package and carries no electrical function. The official pinout (page 2, "Marking Diagram" section) specifies "1-Anode, 2-No Connection, 3-Cathode", and Style 8 mechanical outline confirms this configuration. PCB layouts must leave pin 2 floating; routing or grounding it may cause mechanical stress or solder joint reliability issues without functional benefit. This applies identically to all SZBZX84CxxxET3G devices.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for SZBZX84C5V1ET3G?
The maximum reverse leakage current (IR) for SZBZX84C5V1ET3G is 2.0 µA at VR = 3.0 V and TA = 25°C, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 2. This parameter is critical for low-power bias networks and ensures minimal current draw in standby modes. The SZBZX84C5V1ET3G maintains this leakage limit across its full storage temperature range (−65°C to +150°C), with typical values dropping further at lower temperatures.
