Product details
Overview
SZBZX84C5V1LT3G 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 SZBZX84C5V1LT3G 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 reference diode with cathode-anode polarity, designed for stable reverse-bias regulation under DC or low-frequency transient conditions. Its 250 mW rating applies to FR-5 PCB mounting, derating linearly above 25°C at 2.0 mW/°C.
The SOT-23 package (Case 318, Style 8) defines a fixed 3-pin layout: Pin 1 = Anode, Pin 2 = No Connection, Pin 3 = Cathode. It supports automated placement and achieves Class 3 ESD robustness (>16 kV HBM).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage | 5.1 V nominal, 4.8–5.4 V range at 5 mA - ensures stable regulation across production lot and temperature. |
| Power Dissipation | 250 mW on FR-5 board - sets maximum continuous DC power before thermal shutdown or degradation. |
| Zener Impedance | 60 Ω at 5 mA - determines output voltage variation under load current changes (e.g., ±30 mV for ±1.8 mA ripple). |
| Temperature Coefficient | −2.7 mV/°C - enables predictable drift compensation in temperature-sensitive references. |
| Reverse Leakage | 2 µA max at 3 V - critical for low-power standby circuits where quiescent current must remain sub-µA. |
| Junction Capacitance | 225 pF at 0 V, 1 MHz - impacts high-frequency noise filtering and AC coupling performance. |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV HBM) - qualifies for direct integration into handheld and automotive front-end interfaces without external protection. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23 (TO-236) surface-mount plastic package, 2.90 × 1.30 × 1.00 mm, void-free thermosetting case with corrosion-resistant finish; cathode indicated by band; UL 94 V-0 flammability rating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode | DC current entry point during forward bias; connected to lower-potential node in Zener regulation configuration. |
| 2 | No Connection | Internally unconnected; must remain floating - no PCB trace or pad required. |
| 3 | Cathode | Regulated output node in reverse bias; polarity band on package aligns with this terminal. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

| Pb-Free & RoHS Compliant | Meets global environmental regulations; compatible with lead-free reflow profiles up to 260°C for 10 seconds. |
| Tight Thermal Stability | −2.7 mV/°C TC enables <±15 mV total drift from −40°C to +125°C - suitable for industrial sensor references. |
| Low-Leakage Regulation | 2 µA max IR at 3 V allows use in battery-backed real-time clocks and ultra-low-power microcontroller reset circuits. |
| High-Density Mounting | SOT-23 footprint (2.9 × 1.3 mm) supports >10,000 units per 10×10 cm² PCB area in space-constrained IoT nodes. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84C5V1LT3G | Standard tolerance (±5%), non-automotive grade, same SOT-23 package and electrical specs. | Lacks AEC-Q101 qualification and PPAP support; suitable for commercial-grade consumer products only. | Select when automotive qualification is unnecessary and cost sensitivity outweighs long-term reliability requirements. |
| SZBZX84C5V1LT1G | Identical Zener parameters and AEC-Q101 qualification, but supplied in 3,000-unit tape-and-reel vs. 10,000-unit for LT3G. | Same functional performance; preferred for low-volume prototyping or mixed-BOM builds with smaller lot sizes. | Choose for design validation, small-batch production, or inventory alignment with existing LT1G-based platforms. |
Compared with BZX84C5V1LT3G and SZBZX84C5V1LT1G, the SZBZX84C5V1LT3G offers identical regulation performance and automotive qualification while optimizing for high-volume manufacturing via larger reel size - reducing line changeovers and handling costs in mass production.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SZBZX84C5V1LT3G?
The SZBZX84C5V1LT3G has a nominal Zener voltage of 5.1 V with a tolerance of ±5%, meaning the actual breakdown voltage falls between 4.8 V and 5.4 V when tested at 5 mA. This tolerance is specified per the BZX84C series standard grade and is verified across production lots and temperature ranges from −65°C to +150°C. The SZBZX84C5V1LT3G maintains this specification under both FR-5 board and alumina substrate mounting conditions.
Is SZBZX84C5V1LT3G qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SZBZX84C5V1LT3G is AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, making it suitable for automotive applications including body control modules, lighting drivers, and infotainment power management. The "SZ" prefix explicitly denotes automotive-grade screening, process controls, and site-specific change management. This qualification covers thermal cycling, humidity testing, and mechanical shock per AEC-Q101 Rev D, and is documented in onsemi's official certification reports.
What is the maximum power dissipation of SZBZX84C5V1LT3G on a standard PCB?
SZBZX84C5V1LT3G is rated for 250 mW total power dissipation on FR-5 board at 25°C ambient, with linear derating of 2.0 mW/°C above that temperature. At 85°C ambient, its usable power drops to 130 mW. This rating assumes standard 1 oz copper, 0.062" thickness, and no thermal vias - actual dissipation may improve with enhanced PCB layout, but must not exceed the absolute maximum junction temperature of +150°C.
Does SZBZX84C5V1LT3G have a no-connect pin, and how should it be handled on the PCB?
Yes, SZBZX84C5V1LT3G uses Pin 2 as a no-connect terminal per SOT-23 Style 8 pinout. This pin is internally unconnected and must remain electrically floating - no trace, pad, or solder mask opening is required. PCB layout should omit any copper connection to Pin 2 to avoid unintended parasitic coupling or assembly defects. The device functions correctly with only Pins 1 (Anode) and 3 (Cathode) populated.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for SZBZX84C5V1LT3G at 3 V?
The reverse leakage current (IR) for SZBZX84C5V1LT3G is guaranteed ≤2 µA at VR = 3 V and TA = 25°C. This value is measured under standardized test conditions and reflects worst-case leakage across the qualified lot. In low-power applications such as battery-backed RTCs or sleep-mode microcontrollers, this leakage contributes less than 0.1% of typical system standby current, ensuring multi-year operational life without significant battery drain.
