Product details
Overview
SZBZX84C7V5LT1G from onsemi is a 7.5 V ±5% Zener diode in SOT-23 package, rated for 250 mW power dissipation on FR-5 board, with 15 Ω dynamic impedance at 5 mA test current and 1 μA reverse leakage at 5 V. It provides precision voltage regulation in space-constrained portable electronics and high-density PCBs.
For engineers reviewing the SZBZX84C7V5LT1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±5%), thermal resistance (500 °C/W), ESD rating (>16 kV HBM), and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference using controlled reverse-biased avalanche breakdown. Its nominal 7.5 V Zener voltage is specified at 5 mA test current (IZT), with temperature coefficient of +2.5 mV/°C and capacitance of 140 pF at 0 V bias and 1 MHz.
The SOT-23 package features cathode-indicated polarity band, Pb-free construction, UL 94 V-0 flammability rating, and maximum soldering temperature of 260°C for 10 seconds. Pin 2 is internally unconnected - only pins 1 (anode) and 3 (cathode) are electrically active.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84C7V5LT1G | Standard tolerance (±5%), non-automotive grade, same SOT-23 package and 7.5 V nominal | Lacks AEC-Q101 qualification and PPAP capability; suitable for commercial-grade designs only | Select when automotive compliance is not required and cost sensitivity favors standard-grade variant |

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SZBZX84C7V5LT1G?
The SZBZX84C7V5LT1G has a nominal Zener voltage of 7.5 V with a tolerance of ±5%, meaning its actual breakdown voltage falls between 7.0 V and 7.9 V when tested at 5 mA (IZT). This tolerance is defined per the BZX84CxxxLT1 series standard specification and applies across the full operating temperature range of −65°C to +150°C.
Is SZBZX84C7V5LT1G suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SZBZX84C7V5LT1G is AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, making it suitable for automotive applications such as engine control units, body electronics, and infotainment systems. The "SZ" prefix explicitly denotes compliance with automotive-specific site and process controls, and the device meets stringent reliability and stress-test requirements defined in the AEC-Q101 standard.
What is the thermal resistance of SZBZX84C7V5LT1G on FR-5 board?
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RJA) of SZBZX84C7V5LT1G is 500 °C/W when mounted on an FR-5 board. This value assumes standard JEDEC test conditions (1.0 × 0.75 × 0.62 inch board) and directly determines the allowable power dissipation before exceeding the maximum junction temperature of +150°C.
Does SZBZX84C7V5LT1G have a functional third pin?
No, SZBZX84C7V5LT1G has only two active terminals: pin 1 (anode) and pin 3 (cathode). Pin 2 is internally unconnected (NC), as confirmed in the datasheet's pinout diagrams and electrical characteristics tables. PCB layout must treat pin 2 as a floating pad with no electrical connection required.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for SZBZX84C7V5LT1G?
The maximum reverse leakage current (IR) for SZBZX84C7V5LT1G is 1 μA at a reverse voltage (VR) of 5 V and ambient temperature of 25°C. This low leakage supports energy-efficient operation in battery-powered systems and ensures minimal loading on upstream voltage sources during standby conditions.
