Product details
Overview
MM5Z16V from ON Semiconductor is a 16.2 V nominal Zener voltage regulator diode in SOD−523 package, rated for 500 mW steady-state power dissipation at 25°C, with 40 Ω maximum Zener impedance at 5 mA test current and 0.05 μA reverse leakage at 10.4 V. It provides precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in space-constrained portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the MM5Z16V datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal derating behavior, ESD robustness (Class 3, >16 kV HBM), RoHS-compliant Pb-free construction, and SOD−523 mechanical dimensions critical for high-density PCB layout and reliability validation.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference using controlled avalanche breakdown in silicon PN junction. Its Zener voltage is specified at IZT = 5 mA with ±0.9 V tolerance (15.3–17.1 V), and exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +11.2 mV/°C - enabling stable regulation across −65°C to +150°C junction range.
Thermal resistance is fixed at 250°C/W (Junction-to-Ambient on FR-4 board), requiring strict derating above 25°C (4.0 mW/°C). The SOD−523 package supports reflow up to 260°C and meets MSL 1 moisture sensitivity level, ensuring compatibility with standard surface-mount assembly processes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX584C16 | Same 16 V nominal Zener, but SOD-323 package (1.7 × 1.3 × 1.1 mm); 350 mW rating; 50 Ω ZZT | Larger footprint and lower power limit restrict use in ultra-thin or high-power-density layouts | Select when legacy SOD-323 footprint compatibility is required and 500 mW headroom is not needed |
| MMSZ5245B | SOD-123 package (3.7 × 1.6 × 1.1 mm); 500 mW rating; 16 V nominal; 17 Ω ZZT; 100 pF C | 3× larger area and higher capacitance reduce suitability for RF-adjacent or space-critical placements | Choose where lower Zener impedance (17 Ω vs. 40 Ω) justifies added board area and reduced ESD margin (12 kV HBM) |
Compared with BZX584C16 and MMSZ5245B, MM5Z16V uniquely combines 500 mW power capability, 40 Ω Zener impedance, Class 3 ESD rating, and 1.2 × 0.8 mm footprint - making it optimal for next-generation portable and automotive modules where size, power, and ruggedness are jointly constrained.

FAQ
What is the exact Zener voltage tolerance for MM5Z16V at 5 mA test current?
The MM5Z16V has a guaranteed Zener voltage range of 15.3 V to 17.1 V when tested at IZT = 5 mA and TA = 25°C. This ±0.9 V tolerance reflects the device's nominal 16.2 V specification and is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the official ON Semiconductor datasheet (Rev. 16, November 2018).
Does MM5Z16V support lead-free reflow soldering, and what is its maximum peak temperature?
Yes, MM5Z16V is Pb-free and RoHS compliant with 100% matte tin lead finish. It is qualified for lead-free reflow with a maximum peak temperature of 260°C, meeting IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 requirements. The device also satisfies MSL 1 classification, eliminating the need for moisture-sensitive handling or baking prior to assembly.
What is the thermal resistance and derating behavior of MM5Z16V on a standard FR-4 PCB?
MM5Z16V has a Junction-to-Ambient thermal resistance (RJA) of 250°C/W on a single-sided FR-4 board with 1 cm² copper pad. Its power dissipation must be linearly derated above 25°C at 4.0 mW/°C - meaning usable power drops to 400 mW at 50°C ambient and 200 mW at 100°C ambient, as shown in Figure 1 of the datasheet.
How does the ESD rating of MM5Z16V compare to typical small-signal diodes?
MM5Z16V is rated Class 3 per Human Body Model (>16 kV), significantly exceeding the 2–4 kV typical of generic small-signal diodes. This high ESD robustness is built into the die design and packaging, allowing MM5Z16V to serve as both regulator and primary ESD clamp - reducing bill-of-materials count in portable electronics interfaces without external TVS devices.
Is MM5Z16V suitable for automotive applications, and what qualification does it hold?
Yes, the SZMM5Z16VT1G variant is AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, supporting automotive use. While the base MM5Z16VT1G is not automotive-grade, its identical electrical specs and SOD−523 construction make it suitable for non-safety-critical automotive modules such as infotainment power supervision or lighting control - provided system-level qualification is completed per OEM requirements.
