Product details
Overview
SZBZX84C6V8LT3G from onsemi is a 6.8 V, ±5% tolerance Zener diode in SOT-23 package, rated for 250 mW power dissipation at 25°C on FR-4 board, with 15 Ω dynamic impedance at 5 mA test current and 2 µA reverse leakage at 5.2 V. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in low-power portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the SZBZX84C6V8LT3G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance (500 °C/W), ESD rating (>16 kV HBM), junction temperature range (−65 to +150°C), and Pb-free RoHS compliance for automotive and high-density PCB designs.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage-regulating diode relying on controlled reverse-biased avalanche breakdown. Its nominal 6.8 V Zener voltage is specified at 5 mA test current (IZT), with temperature coefficient of +1.2 mV/°C ensuring stable regulation across −55°C to +150°C ambient.
The SOT-23 package features cathode-indicated polarity band, void-free thermosetting plastic case, UL 94 V-0 flammability rating, and 260°C soldering tolerance for 10 seconds-optimized for automated surface-mount assembly on high-density boards.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84C6V8LT3G | Same 6.8 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, SOT-23, but non-automotive grade; no AEC-Q101 qualification | Lacks PPAP support and automotive lifecycle documentation; unsuitable for Tier-1 automotive BOMs | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive qualification requirements |
| SZBZX84B6V8LT1G | Tighter ±2% tolerance (6.66–6.94 V), same AEC-Q101 qualification, but 3,000-unit tape-and-reel packaging | Better voltage accuracy for precision references; lower volume packaging increases unit cost in high-volume production | Select when tighter regulation tolerance is required and smaller reels are acceptable |
Compared with SZBZX84C6V8LT3G, BZX84C6V8LT3G offers identical electrical specs but lacks automotive qualification, while SZBZX84B6V8LT1G improves voltage tolerance at the cost of packaging scalability-making SZBZX84C6V8LT3G optimal for cost-sensitive, high-volume automotive and industrial applications requiring validated reliability and 10,000-unit reel logistics.

FAQ
What is the maximum power dissipation of SZBZX84C6V8LT3G at 85°C ambient temperature?
SZBZX84C6V8LT3G has a 250 mW rating at 25°C, derating linearly at 2.0 mW/°C above that. At 85°C ambient, derating is (85 − 25) × 2.0 = 120 mW, so maximum allowable power is 250 − 120 = 130 mW. This ensures safe operation without exceeding junction temperature limits in compact enclosures or stacked PCBs.
Is SZBZX84C6V8LT3G pin-compatible with standard BZX84C6V8 variants?
Yes, SZBZX84C6V8LT3G uses the identical SOT-23 package with Pin 1 = Anode, Pin 2 = No Connection, Pin 3 = Cathode-matching all BZX84CxxxLTxG and SZBZX84CxxxLTxG family members. The SZ prefix denotes automotive qualification and unique site controls, not mechanical or electrical differences.
What does the "LT3G" suffix indicate in SZBZX84C6V8LT3G?
The "LT3G" suffix specifies tape-and-reel packaging with 10,000 units per reel and Pb-free (RoHS-compliant) construction. "L" denotes lead-free, "T" indicates tape-and-reel, "3" means 10,000-unit quantity, and "G" confirms RoHS compliance-distinguishing it from LT1G (3,000-unit) variants.
Can SZBZX84C6V8LT3G be used in place of a 6.8 V Zener in an existing design originally using BZX84C6V8LT1G?
Yes-SZBZX84C6V8LT3G shares identical electrical characteristics, thermal performance, and pinout with BZX84C6V8LT1G. The only differences are automotive qualification (AEC-Q101), PPAP capability, and packaging quantity (10k vs. 3k reel). No layout or schematic changes are needed for drop-in replacement in qualified designs.
What is the Zener voltage temperature coefficient of SZBZX84C6V8LT3G, and how does it affect regulation accuracy?
SZBZX84C6V8LT3G has a nominal temperature coefficient of +1.2 mV/°C at IZT = 5 mA. Over a −40°C to +125°C range (165°C delta), this contributes ±0.2 V drift-within its ±0.4 V tolerance band (6.4–7.2 V). This makes it suitable for applications where absolute accuracy is secondary to robustness and qualification.
