Product details
Overview
MM3Z3V6ST1 from onsemi is a 3.6 V ±3.5% Zener diode in SOD−323 package, rated for 200 mW steady-state power dissipation, 90 Ω maximum Zener impedance at 5 mA test current, and 1.0 µA reverse leakage at 1.0 V, designed for precision voltage regulation in space-constrained portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the MM3Z3V6ST1 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include tight 3.6 V Zener tolerance, low 0.9 mm body height, ESD robustness (>16 kV HBM), thermal resistance of 635 °C/W, and compatibility with high-density PCB layouts requiring minimal footprint.
Technical Context
This Zener regulator operates in reverse breakdown mode to clamp voltage across sensitive circuit nodes. It delivers stable reference voltage under controlled current conditions (IZT = 5 mA), with dynamic impedance (ZZT) ≤ 90 Ω ensuring minimal output variation during transient load shifts.
Its thermal design supports operation from −65 °C to +150 °C junction temperature, and its SOD−323 package enables reflow soldering at 260 °C for 10 seconds. The cathode band marking and Pb-free plating (Sn-only option available) align with modern assembly and compliance requirements.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX384-B3V6,115 | Same 3.6 V nominal Zener, but SOD-323 package with ±5% tolerance and 100 Ω ZZT | Higher impedance and looser tolerance reduce regulation accuracy in precision biasing | Acceptable where cost sensitivity outweighs voltage stability requirements |
| MMSZ3V6ET1G | Identical 3.6 V rating and SOD-123 package; 200 mW rating but larger 2.9 mm × 1.3 mm footprint | Larger size limits use in ultra-dense portable PCBs; same thermal resistance (635 °C/W) | Preferred when existing layout accommodates SOD-123 and higher mechanical robustness is needed |
Compared with MM3Z3V6ST1, BZX384-B3V6,115 offers lower unit cost but sacrifices 1.5% tolerance and 10 Ω impedance performance; MMSZ3V6ET1G matches electrical specs closely but requires PCB redesign due to larger SOD-123 footprint and different mounting geometry.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of MM3Z3V6ST1?
The MM3Z3V6ST1 has a specified Zener voltage range of 3.60 V to 3.85 V at 5 mA test current, corresponding to a ±3.5% tolerance around the nominal 3.6 V value. This tight tolerance is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 2 of the official datasheet and enables reliable voltage clamping without calibration in production systems using MM3Z3V6ST1.
Can MM3Z3V6ST1 be used in place of a 3.3 V Zener diode?
No - MM3Z3V6ST1 is specifically rated for 3.6 V nominal Zener voltage and is not interchangeable with 3.3 V devices like MM3Z3V3ST1. Substituting MM3Z3V6ST1 for a 3.3 V part would raise the clamping threshold by ~300 mV, potentially allowing damaging overvoltage to reach downstream circuitry before regulation engages.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for MM3Z3V6ST1?
The maximum reverse leakage current for MM3Z3V6ST1 is 1.0 µA at VR = 1.0 V, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This low leakage supports extended battery life in always-on wearable and IoT applications where MM3Z3V6ST1 serves as a reference or protection element.
Is MM3Z3V6ST1 compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes - MM3Z3V6ST1 supports lead-free reflow soldering with a maximum case temperature of 260 °C for 10 seconds, per the Mechanical Characteristics section. Its Pb-free variant MM3Z3V6ST1G uses Sn-only plating and meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1, making MM3Z3V6ST1 suitable for standard Pb-free assembly lines.
Does MM3Z3V6ST1 have a defined forward voltage specification?
Yes - the forward voltage VF of MM3Z3V6ST1 is specified as ≤ 0.9 V at IF = 10 mA, consistent across the MM3Z2V4ST1 series. This parameter is relevant when the device is used in forward conduction mode, such as in polarity protection circuits or dual-direction clamping configurations involving MM3Z3V6ST1.
