Product details
Overview
SZBZX84C5V1LT1G from onsemi is a 5.1 V ±5% Zener diode in SOT-23 package, rated for 250 mW power dissipation on FR-5 board, with 60 Ω dynamic impedance at 5 mA test current and −2.7 mV/°C temperature coefficient - used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in portable power rails.
For engineers reviewing the SZBZX84C5V1LT1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include Zener tolerance (±5%), thermal coefficient, leakage current (2 µA @ 3 V), junction capacitance (225 pF), and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage regulator with cathode-anode polarity, designed for reverse-bias breakdown regulation. Its 5.1 V nominal Zener voltage is specified at 5 mA test current (IZT), with tight thermal stability (−2.7 mV/°C) and low leakage (≤2 µA at VR = 3 V).
The SOT-23 package supports automated placement and reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020, with maximum solder temperature of 260°C for 10 seconds. It features Class 3 ESD rating (>16 kV HBM) and Pb-free, RoHS-compliant construction.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage | 5.1 V nominal, 4.8–5.4 V range at 5 mA - defines stable regulation point for 5 V rail clamping or reference generation |
| Power Dissipation | 250 mW on FR-5 board - sets maximum continuous power handling without derating below 25°C |
| Zener Impedance | 60 Ω max at 5 mA - determines output voltage variation under load current changes |
| Temperature Coefficient | −2.7 mV/°C - quantifies voltage drift with ambient temperature, critical for stable references across −65°C to +150°C |
| Reverse Leakage | ≤2 µA at VR = 3 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in standby or high-impedance bias networks |
| Junction Capacitance | 225 pF at VR = 0 V, f = 1 MHz - impacts high-frequency noise filtering and transient response in decoupling applications |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV HBM) - enables robust handling in manual assembly and field-replaceable modules |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84C5V1LT1G | Same electrical specs but lacks AEC-Q101 qualification and SZ-prefix automotive traceability | Approved for commercial/industrial use only; not suitable for automotive production | Select when automotive qualification is unnecessary and cost sensitivity is high |
| SZBZX84C5V1LT3G | Identical Zener parameters and AEC-Q101 rating, but supplied in 10,000-piece tape-and-reel vs. 3,000-piece | Optimized for high-volume automated assembly; same thermal and electrical behavior | Select for large-scale manufacturing where reel size and logistics efficiency matter |
Compared with SZBZX84C5V1LT1G, BZX84C5V1LT1G offers identical regulation performance but excludes automotive qualification and controlled change management, while SZBZX84C5V1LT3G provides identical functionality in larger packaging for volume production - choice depends on compliance requirements and procurement scale.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SZBZX84C5V1LT1G?
The SZBZX84C5V1LT1G has a nominal Zener voltage of 5.1 V with a tolerance of ±5%, meaning its actual breakdown voltage falls between 4.8 V and 5.4 V when tested at 5 mA (IZT). This tolerance is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the onsemi datasheet, under the BZX84CxxxLT1 series section.
Is SZBZX84C5V1LT1G qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SZBZX84C5V1LT1G is AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, as explicitly stated in the Features section of the datasheet. The "SZ" prefix denotes compliance with automotive-specific site and control change requirements, making it suitable for use in engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS subsystems.
What is the maximum power dissipation for SZBZX84C5V1LT1G on an FR-5 board?
SZBZX84C5V1LT1G is rated for 250 mW total power dissipation on FR-5 board at TA = 25°C, with derating of 2.0 mW/°C above that temperature. This value is specified in the Maximum Ratings table on page 2 of the official onsemi datasheet and applies directly to standard PCB layouts without copper heatsinking.
Does SZBZX84C5V1LT1G have a no-connect pin, and how is it configured?
Yes, SZBZX84C5V1LT1G uses the SOT-23 package with pin configuration Style 8: Pin 1 is Anode, Pin 2 is No Connection (internally unconnected), and Pin 3 is Cathode. This is documented in the Marking Diagram on page 3 and the Mechanical Case Outline on page 7 of the datasheet.
What is the junction capacitance of SZBZX84C5V1LT1G and at what condition is it measured?
The junction capacitance of SZBZX84C5V1LT1G is 225 pF, measured at VR = 0 V and f = 1 MHz, as listed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3. This parameter directly affects high-frequency transient suppression performance and must be considered in RF-sensitive or fast-switching applications.
