Product details
Overview
SZBZX84C9V1LT3 from onsemi is a 9.1 V ±5.5% Zener diode in SOT-23 package, rated for 225 mW power dissipation on FR-5 board at 25°C, with 15 Ω dynamic impedance at 5 mA test current and 0.5 μA reverse leakage at 7.2 V, used for voltage regulation in space-constrained portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the SZBZX84C9V1LT3 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include nominal Zener voltage tolerance (±5.5%), 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, conducting in reverse breakdown to clamp voltage at its specified Zener level. Its electrical behavior is defined by three test conditions: 5 mA (primary specification point), 1 mA (low-current regulation), and 20 mA (high-current stability), each with distinct Zener impedance values (15 Ω, 100 Ω, and 8 Ω respectively).
The SZBZX84C9V1LT3 exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +3.8 mV/°C at 5 mA, indicating voltage increases with temperature - critical for thermal drift compensation in precision bias networks. It features no internal connection on pin 2, confirming true two-terminal functionality with anode (pin 1) and cathode (pin 3) only.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84C9V1LT3 | Standard tolerance (±5.5%), 225 mW, SOT-23, non-automotive grade marking | General-purpose regulation; not AEC-Q101 qualified | Select when cost-sensitive industrial or consumer designs do not require automotive qualification |
