Product details
Overview
SZBZX84C7V5LT3 from onsemi is a 7.5 V ±5% Zener diode in SOT-23 package, rated for 225 mW power dissipation at 25°C on FR-5 board, with 15 Ω dynamic impedance at 5 mA test current and 1 μA reverse leakage at 5 V, used for voltage regulation in space-constrained portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the SZBZX84C7V5LT3 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include nominal Zener voltage tolerance (±5%), thermal resistance (556 °C/W), ESD rating (>16 kV HBM), junction temperature range (−65 to +150°C), and Pb-free SOT-23 packaging compatibility with automated assembly.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference diode with cathode-anode polarity, utilizing silicon PN-junction Zener breakdown at 7.5 V nominal. Its 15 Ω Zener impedance at 5 mA ensures stable regulation under moderate load variation, while the −65°C to +150°C operating junction temperature range supports automotive and industrial environments.
The SOT-23 package features void-free thermosetting plastic construction, UL 94 V-0 flammability rating, and 260°C/10s maximum soldering temperature. Pin 2 is internally unconnected, confirming true two-terminal functionality without auxiliary control or sensing terminals.

FAQ
What is the nominal Zener voltage and tolerance of SZBZX84C7V5LT3?
The SZBZX84C7V5LT3 has a nominal Zener voltage of 7.5 V with a tolerance of ±5%, specified as 7.0 V minimum to 7.9 V maximum at 5 mA test current. This tolerance band is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the official datasheet, and the "C" suffix denotes standard tolerance grading. The SZBZX84C7V5LT3 maintains this specification across its full operating temperature range.
Does SZBZX84C7V5LT3 have AEC-Q101 qualification?
Yes, SZBZX84C7V5LT3 is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, as stated in the Features section of the datasheet. This qualification validates its suitability for automotive applications including engine control, body electronics, and ADAS subsystems. The "SZ" prefix indicates compliance with automotive-specific site and process controls, distinguishing it from commercial-grade BZX84C7V5LT3 variants.
What is the thermal resistance and power derating behavior of SZBZX84C7V5LT3?
SZBZX84C7V5LT3 has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 556 °C/W on FR-5 board, with 225 mW total power dissipation at 25°C. Power must be linearly derated by 1.8 mW/°C above 25°C ambient, reaching zero dissipation at approximately 147°C. These values are defined in the Maximum Ratings table and apply strictly to standard FR-5 PCB mounting per the datasheet's Note 1.
How is the pinout configured for SZBZX84C7V5LT3, and what is the role of pin 2?
SZBZX84C7V5LT3 uses a 3-pin SOT-23 package with pinout: 1 = Anode, 2 = No Connection, 3 = Cathode. Pin 2 is internally unconnected and must remain floating on the PCB layout. This configuration is confirmed in both the Marking Diagram and Electrical Characteristics sections of the datasheet, ensuring correct reverse-bias orientation for Zener operation between pins 1 and 3.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for SZBZX84C7V5LT3 at 5 V?
The reverse leakage current for SZBZX84C7V5LT3 is specified as 1 μA maximum at VR = 5 V, per the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3. This parameter defines the off-state current when the device is biased below its Zener breakdown threshold and directly impacts quiescent power loss in always-on regulation circuits.
