Product details
Overview
SZNZ9F15VT5G from onsemi is a 15 V Zener voltage regulator diode in SOD-923 surface-mount package, rated for 250 mW steady-state power dissipation, with ±0.75 V Zener voltage tolerance (14.25–15.75 V @ 5 mA), 42 Ω maximum Zener impedance at test current, and 0.1 μA reverse leakage at 12 V. It provides precision voltage clamping in space-constrained portable power rails.
For engineers reviewing the SZNZ9F15VT5G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, low-profile SOD-923 footprint compatibility, AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use, and 16 kV HBM ESD robustness in high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal shunt voltage regulator, maintaining stable reference voltage across its cathode-anode terminals when reverse-biased above its breakdown threshold. Its 15 V nominal Zener voltage is specified at 5 mA test current with temperature coefficient of +9.2 mV/°C and 70 pF junction capacitance at 0 V.
The SZNZ9F15VT5G uses silicon planar Zener technology in a void-free thermosetting plastic package (UL 94 V-0), with 100% matte tin lead finish, MSL 1 rating, and qualified reflow up to 260 °C - enabling compatibility with standard high-volume SMT assembly processes.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SZNZ9F15VT5G at 5 mA test current?
The SZNZ9F15VT5G has a Zener voltage range of 14.25 V to 15.75 V at IZT = 5 mA, corresponding to ±0.75 V absolute tolerance. This specification is measured at TA = 25 °C per the onsemi datasheet, and the device maintains this tolerance across its qualified operating temperature range when used within derated power limits.
Is SZNZ9F15VT5G qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the SZNZ9F15VT5G carries the "SZ" prefix indicating AEC-Q101 qualification and PPAP capability. It is explicitly rated for automotive use per the manufacturer's documentation, with validation covering temperature cycling, humidity testing, and mechanical shock - making it suitable for engine control, body electronics, and ADAS subsystems where reliability is critical.
What is the maximum junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RJA) for SZNZ9F15VT5G?
The SZNZ9F15VT5G has a maximum junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 500 °C/W when mounted on an FR-5 board at TA = 25 °C. This value reflects the thermal performance of the SOD-923 package under standard JEDEC test conditions and must be factored into power derating calculations for elevated ambient temperatures.
Does SZNZ9F15VT5G have a polarity marking, and how is it identified?
Yes, the SZNZ9F15VT5G uses Style 1 marking per the SOD-923 mechanical drawing: Pin 1 (cathode) is identified by a polarity band on the package body. The marking code "Q*" appears adjacent to the band, and the cathode terminal must be connected to the higher-potential node for proper Zener operation in reverse-bias configuration.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for SZNZ9F15VT5G at 12 V?
The SZNZ9F15VT5G specifies a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 0.1 μA at VR = 12 V and TA = 25 °C. This low leakage supports extended battery life in always-on portable systems and ensures minimal loading on sensitive reference nodes in precision analog circuits.
