Product details
Overview
MM3Z27VT1 from onsemi is a 27 V, 200 mW surface-mount Zener diode in SOD−323 package, designed for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in space-constrained circuits. It delivers nominal Zener voltage of 27 V at 2 mA test current, with dynamic impedance of 80 Ω at IZT and leakage current ≤0.05 µA at 18.9 V reverse bias - used in portable power rails and reference stabilization.
For engineers reviewing the MM3Z27VT1 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its 27 V nominal Zener voltage, 200 mW power rating, SOD−323 footprint compatibility, low leakage (<0.05 µA), and ±1.9 V voltage tolerance (25.1–28.9 V) under specified test conditions.
Technical Context
The MM3Z27VT1 operates as a two-terminal voltage reference device relying on controlled reverse breakdown. Its Zener mechanism provides stable regulation across ambient temperatures from −65°C to +150°C, with thermal resistance of 635°C/W and derating slope of 1.5 mW/°C above 25°C.
It exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +21.4 mV/°C, enabling predictable drift compensation in bias networks. Capacitance is 70 pF at 0 V bias and 1 MHz, supporting high-frequency decoupling roles without resonance issues in compact layouts.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX384-B27,115 | Same 27 V nominal, 200 mW rating, but SOD-323 package with 100 Ω ZZT (vs. 80 Ω); tighter ±2% tolerance (26.46–27.54 V) | Higher precision needed in metrology-grade references; slightly higher dynamic impedance affects ripple rejection | Select BZX384-B27,115 when tighter voltage tolerance and NXP qualification are required for medical-grade instrumentation |
| MMBZ5256BS-7-F | 27 V nominal, 225 mW rating, SOT-323 package (same footprint); ZZT = 70 Ω at 20 mA (not 2 mA), leakage 1 µA at 21.6 V | Higher test current shifts operating point; higher leakage reduces suitability for ultra-low-power sleep modes | Select MMBZ5256BS-7-F when higher power margin is needed and system can tolerate 1 µA standby leakage |
Compared with BZX384-B27,115 and MMBZ5256BS-7-F, the MM3Z27VT1 offers optimal balance of low leakage (0.05 µA), moderate ZZT (80 Ω), and industry-standard onsemi qualification - making it preferred for consumer portables where cost, size, and standby current are co-optimized.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of MM3Z27VT1 at 25°C?
The MM3Z27VT1 has a nominal Zener voltage of 27 V with a minimum of 25.1 V and maximum of 28.9 V at 2 mA test current and 25°C ambient temperature. This ±1.9 V tolerance reflects the device's guaranteed regulation window under standard test conditions, and is critical for determining worst-case headroom in voltage-clamp designs using the MM3Z27VT1.
Does MM3Z27VT1 support Pb-free soldering processes?
Yes, the MM3Z27VT1 is offered in a Pb-free SOD−323 package with Sn-only plating, qualified for standard lead-free reflow profiles up to 260°C for 10 seconds. The "G" suffix in MM3Z27VT1G explicitly denotes this Pb-free variant, and the device complies with JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 - confirming full compatibility with modern RoHS-compliant manufacturing using the MM3Z27VT1.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for MM3Z27VT1?
The MM3Z27VT1 specifies a maximum reverse leakage current of 0.05 µA at VR = 18.9 V (70% of nominal VZ), measured at 25°C. This ultra-low leakage enables use in battery-powered systems where standby current must be minimized - a key differentiator versus higher-leakage alternatives like MMBZ5256BS-7-F (1 µA at 21.6 V), making the MM3Z27VT1 especially valuable in always-on sensor nodes.
Can MM3Z27VT1 be used in automotive applications?
Yes, the MM3Z27VT1 is rated for junction and storage temperatures from −65°C to +150°C and qualified per AEC-Q200 stress tests for passive components. Its +21.4 mV/°C temperature coefficient, 200 mW power rating, and Class 3 HBM ESD robustness make it suitable for non-safety-critical automotive cabin applications - such as HVAC sensor biasing and infotainment power rail clamping - when used within its specified derating curve and layout guidelines for the MM3Z27VT1.
What is the thermal resistance (RJA) of MM3Z27VT1 on FR-5 board?
The MM3Z27VT1 has a thermal resistance of 635°C/W from junction to ambient on an FR-5 printed circuit board at 25°C ambient. This value governs power derating: above 25°C, the device must be derated by 1.5 mW/°C, reaching zero dissipation at approximately 162°C. Proper copper pour and thermal vias are recommended to maintain reliability when operating near thermal limits using the MM3Z27VT1.
