Product details
Overview
SZBZX84C6V8ET1G from onsemi is a 6.8 V, 250 mW surface-mount Zener diode in SOT-23 package, designed for precision voltage regulation and reference applications with ±0.4 V tolerance at 5 mA test current, 15 Ω dynamic impedance, and 2.0 µA reverse leakage at 5.0 V. It serves as a stable shunt regulator in power supply feedback loops, overvoltage protection circuits, and voltage reference stages in portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the SZBZX84C6V8ET1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include nominal Zener voltage (6.8 V), power rating (250 mW on FR-5 board), temperature coefficient (+1.2 mV/°C), ESD robustness (>16 kV HBM), and SOT-23 footprint compatibility with automated assembly.
Technical Context
This device operates as a silicon planar Zener diode with controlled avalanche breakdown at 6.8 V, optimized for low-noise voltage reference and clamping functions. Its thermal resistance of 500 °C/W (FR-5 board) and junction temperature range of −65 °C to +150 °C support reliable operation in compact, thermally constrained designs.
The SOT-23 package features a cathode-indicated polarity band, Pb-free construction, UL 94 V-0 flammability rating, and 260 °C soldering tolerance for 10 seconds. Pin 2 is internally unconnected - a critical layout constraint distinguishing it from dual-anode or dual-cathode variants.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 6.4–7.2 V @ IZT = 5 mA - defines regulated output voltage window under standard test conditions |
| Power Dissipation | 250 mW on FR-5 board - maximum continuous DC power before thermal derating begins |
| Zener Impedance ZZT | 15 Ω @ 5 mA - indicates voltage stability under small-signal AC load variations |
| Reverse Leakage IR | 2.0 µA @ VR = 5.0 V - determines quiescent current draw in high-impedance bias networks |
| Temperature Coefficient | +1.2 mV/°C @ 5 mA - quantifies voltage drift per degree Celsius near room temperature |
| Capacitance C | 155 pF @ VR = 0 V, f = 1 MHz - impacts high-frequency noise filtering and transient response |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV) HBM - ensures robustness against handling-induced electrostatic discharge |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23 (TO-236) plastic surface-mount package, 2.90 × 1.30 × 1.00 mm, void-free thermosetting case with corrosion-resistant finish and UL 94 V-0 rating. Cathode identified by polarity band.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode | DC current entry point during forward conduction; connected to lower-potential node in shunt regulation |
| 2 | No Connection | Internally unconnected - must remain floating; no PCB trace or pad should tie this pin |
| 3 | Cathode | DC current exit point during Zener breakdown; tied to regulated voltage node or feedback point |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84C6V8ET1G | Non-automotive grade; lacks AEC-Q101 qualification and PPAP capability; identical electrical specs and SOT-23 pinout | Approved for commercial/industrial use only; not suitable for automotive production programs | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive compliance requirements and lifecycle assurance |
| MMSZ4687T1G | Same 6.8 V nominal Zener voltage but higher ZZT (40 Ω vs. 15 Ω); 500 mW power rating on FR-4; different marking and date code format | Better suited for higher-power clamping where tighter impedance is noncritical; larger thermal margin | Choose when board-level power dissipation exceeds 250 mW or when legacy MMSZ footprint compatibility is required |
Compared with SZBZX84C6V8ET1G, BZX84C6V8ET1G offers identical regulation performance but no automotive qualification, while MMSZ4687T1G trades lower impedance for higher power handling and relaxed Zener tolerance - making each optimal for distinct reliability or thermal design constraints.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SZBZX84C6V8ET1G at 5 mA test current?
The SZBZX84C6V8ET1G has a Zener voltage range of 6.4 V to 7.2 V at IZT = 5 mA, corresponding to a ±0.4 V absolute tolerance around the nominal 6.8 V rating. This tolerance is verified per onsemi's Electrical Characteristics table and reflects manufacturing process variation under standardized test conditions.
Is SZBZX84C6V8ET1G pin-compatible with standard SOT-23 Zener diodes?
Yes, SZBZX84C6V8ET1G uses the standard SOT-23 (TO-236) package with pin 1 = anode, pin 2 = no connection, and pin 3 = cathode - matching the mechanical footprint and terminal assignment of all BZX84CxxxET1G-series devices. Pin 2 must remain unconnected in layout.
Does SZBZX84C6V8ET1G meet automotive qualification standards?
Yes, SZBZX84C6V8ET1G is AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, with full documentation supporting its use in automotive body electronics, infotainment systems, and ADAS subsystems. The "SZ" prefix explicitly denotes automotive-grade process control and site-specific change management.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for SZBZX84C6V8ET1G at 5.0 V?
The maximum reverse leakage current for SZBZX84C6V8ET1G is 2.0 µA at VR = 5.0 V and TA = 25 °C, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This value ensures minimal parasitic loading in high-impedance reference networks and bias circuits.
How does the temperature coefficient of SZBZX84C6V8ET1G affect voltage stability?
The SZBZX84C6V8ET1G exhibits a temperature coefficient of +1.2 mV/°C at IZT = 5 mA, meaning its Zener voltage increases by approximately 1.2 mV per degree Celsius rise in junction temperature. This positive TC supports stable regulation across −40 °C to +125 °C ambient ranges when used within derated power limits.
