Product details
Overview
MM5Z27VT1G from onsemi is a 27 V, ±5% tolerance Zener diode in SOD-523 package, rated for 500 mW steady-state power dissipation at 25 °C, with 80 Ω maximum Zener impedance at 2 mA test current and 0.05 µA reverse leakage at 21.4 V, used for precision voltage clamping in space-constrained portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the MM5Z27VT1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal derating behavior, ESD robustness (Class 3, >16 kV HBM), and direct-fit alternatives for compact voltage regulation design.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference diode with sharp reverse breakdown at nominal 27 V, specified under pulsed test conditions (IZT = 2 mA) to minimize self-heating effects. Its 250 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance and 0.7 mm body height enable thermal management in ultra-thin PCB layouts.
The MM5Z27VT1G exhibits a +0.05 %/°C temperature coefficient of VZ and 70 pF capacitance at 0 V bias and 1 MHz, making it suitable for low-noise DC biasing and transient suppression where parasitic reactance must remain below 100 pF.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX584C27LT1G | Same 27 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, but SOD-323 package (1.7 × 1.3 × 0.9 mm); 100 mW lower power rating (400 mW) | Less suitable for high-power transient absorption; higher thermal resistance (312 °C/W) limits sustained clamping duty cycle | Select when board space allows larger footprint and peak power demand stays below 400 mW |
| MMSZ5258ET1G | 27 V nominal, ±5%, but SOD-123 package (3.7 × 1.6 × 1.1 mm); 500 mW rating with 100 Ω ZZT @ 20 mA | Higher Zener impedance degrades regulation under fast transients; larger size conflicts with ultra-dense layouts | Prefer for through-hole-compatible designs or where manual rework access is required |
Compared with BZX584C27LT1G and MMSZ5258ET1G, the MM5Z27VT1G offers the smallest footprint (SOD-523), lowest capacitance (70 pF), and best thermal performance (250 °C/W) for high-density, low-noise, and high-reliability portable applications.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of MM5Z27VT1G?
The MM5Z27VT1G has a standard tolerance of ±5%, with a guaranteed reverse Zener voltage range of 25.1 V to 28.9 V at IZT = 2 mA and TA = 25 °C. This tolerance remains valid across the full operating temperature range of −65 °C to +150 °C, supported by its +0.05 %/°C temperature coefficient.
Does MM5Z27VT1G support automated SMT assembly?
Yes, MM5Z27VT1G is qualified for lead-free reflow soldering at peak temperatures up to 260 °C and meets MSL 1 moisture sensitivity level requirements. Its SOD-523 package uses 100% matte tin lead finish and is supplied in 3,000-piece tape-and-reel format (T1G variant), fully compatible with high-speed pick-and-place equipment.
How does MM5Z27VT1G perform under thermal stress?
MM5Z27VT1G has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 250 °C/W on FR-4 board with 1 cm² copper pad. Its power dissipation derates linearly from 500 mW at 25 °C to zero at 150 °C ambient, enabling reliable operation in thermally dense environments such as stacked PCB modules or sealed enclosures.
Is MM5Z27VT1G suitable for automotive applications?
The SZMM5Z27VT1G variant is AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable for automotive use, but the standard MM5Z27VT1G is not certified for automotive-grade reliability. For non-automotive portable and industrial applications, MM5Z27VT1G meets all functional and environmental specifications including Class 3 ESD and RoHS compliance.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for MM5Z27VT1G?
MM5Z27VT1G specifies a maximum reverse leakage current of 0.05 µA at VR = 21.4 V and TA = 25 °C. This ultra-low leakage ensures minimal impact on battery life in always-on wearable devices and preserves accuracy in high-impedance bias networks.
