SZBZX84C18LT1G

SZBZX84C18LT1G is an 18-volt Zener diode in an SOT-23 small‑signal package. It belongs to the BZX84C series, offering a nominal Zener voltage of 18 V with about ±5% tolerance and a 0.5 W power rating.
Key uses: reverse-bias voltage regulation, clamping, and protection in power supplies and reference circuits.
Electricals (typical): VZ ≈ 18 V at IZT ≈ 5 mA; low reverse leakage above breakdown; dynamic impedance ZZT typically in the tens to hundreds of ohms.
Package/compliance: surface-mount device; RoHS lead-free (T1G). The SZ prefix indicates the manufacturer line.
Pinout (SOT-23): three pins, used as a two-terminal Zener; commonly Pin 1 = cathode, Pin 2 = anode, Pin 3 = NC (no connection).
Notes: suitable for general Zener applications where a stable ~18 V clamp is required; for tight regulation or low temperature coefficient, consider a precision reference instead.
