Product details
Overview
SZNZ9F4V3ST5G from onsemi is a 4.17–4.43 V, 250 mW Zener voltage regulator diode in SOD-923 package, designed for precision low-power voltage clamping and ESD protection in space-constrained portable electronics such as smartphones and high-density PCBs.
For engineers reviewing the SZNZ9F4V3ST5G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±2.5%), 100 Ω dynamic impedance at 5 mA, 16 kV HBM ESD rating, AEC-Q101 qualification, and SOD-923 footprint compatibility with automated assembly.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal silicon Zener diode with sharp reverse breakdown at nominal 4.3 V, specified at 5 mA test current (IZT). It delivers stable regulation under steady-state DC conditions with tight ±2.5% VZ tolerance and low temperature coefficient (−3.5 mV/°C).
Its 250 mW power rating is derated linearly above 25 °C (2.0 mW/°C), supported by 500 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance. The SOD-923 package enables surface-mount integration with 1.00 mm × 0.60 mm body and 0.40 mm height, meeting MSL 1 reflow requirements up to 260 °C.
Key Specifications

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SZNZ9F4V3ST5G?
The SZNZ9F4V3ST5G has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±2.5%, specified as 4.17 V minimum to 4.43 V maximum at 5 mA test current (IZT). This tight tolerance enables precise voltage clamping without calibration or trimming in production designs, and is tighter than standard ±5% Zeners like MMSZ4685 or BZX584-C4V3.
Is SZNZ9F4V3ST5G qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the SZNZ9F4V3ST5G is AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, with the "SZ" prefix indicating automotive-grade process control and site-specific change management. It undergoes full stress testing including temperature cycling, HTRB, and 16 kV HBM ESD, making it suitable for under-hood and infotainment systems where reliability is mandated.
What is the maximum power dissipation for SZNZ9F4V3ST5G at 85 °C ambient?
At 85 °C ambient, the SZNZ9F4V3ST5G's maximum power dissipation is 130 mW. This is calculated from its 250 mW rating at 25 °C, derated at 2.0 mW/°C: 250 mW − (85 − 25) × 2.0 mW = 130 mW. Thermal design must account for this reduction to avoid junction overheating beyond 150 °C.
Does SZNZ9F4V3ST5G have a polarity marking, and how is it oriented on the PCB?
Yes, the SZNZ9F4V3ST5G uses Style 1 marking with a cathode polarity band on Pin 1. When mounted on PCB, the banded end aligns with the cathode net (e.g., regulated output or signal line), and the unmarked end is the anode (ground/reference). This matches standard SOD-923 orientation per onsemi's CASE 514AB mechanical drawing.
What is the reverse leakage current of SZNZ9F4V3ST5G at 1 V reverse bias?
The reverse leakage current (IR) of SZNZ9F4V3ST5G is 5 μA maximum at VR = 1 V and TA = 25 °C. This low leakage supports use in high-impedance bias networks and battery-powered circuits where standby current must be minimized without compromising clamping response.
