Product details
Overview
MM5Z33VT5G from onsemi is a 33 V, ±5% tolerance Zener diode in SOD-523 package, rated for 500 mW steady-state power dissipation, 80 Ω maximum Zener impedance at 5 mA test current, and 0.05 μA reverse leakage at 27.4 V, used for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in space-constrained portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the MM5Z33VT5G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, low-profile SOD-523 footprint compatibility, thermal derating behavior above 25 °C, and Class 3 ESD robustness (>16 kV HBM) for handheld device front-end protection.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference by maintaining a stable reverse breakdown voltage across its cathode-anode terminals under controlled current conditions. It exhibits a nominal temperature coefficient of +23.2 mV/°C and 70 pF junction capacitance at 0 V bias and 1 MHz, enabling predictable behavior in low-frequency regulation and transient clamping circuits.
The SOD-523 package imposes strict thermal limits: 500 mW maximum dissipation at 25 °C ambient, derating linearly at 4.0 mW/°C above that, with a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 250 °C/W on FR-4 board - critical for thermal design in high-density PCB layouts.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX584-C33 | 33 V ±5%, SOD-523, 500 mW, but higher ZZT = 90 Ω and 0.1 μA leakage at 27.4 V | Less precise regulation under dynamic load; higher standby current reduces battery life in ultra-low-power designs | Select MM5Z33VT5G when tighter impedance control and sub-0.1 μA leakage are required |
| MMSZ5260ET1G | 33 V ±5%, SOD-123, 500 mW, larger 3.5 × 1.6 mm footprint and 100 Ω ZZT | Not suitable for ultra-dense layouts; requires PCB redesign due to incompatible pad geometry | Choose MM5Z33VT5G for new designs targeting miniaturization without sacrificing regulation accuracy |
Compared with BZX584-C33 and MMSZ5260ET1G, MM5Z33VT5G delivers superior regulation stability (80 Ω vs. ≥90 Ω ZZT), lower leakage (0.05 μA vs. ≥0.1 μA), and identical SOD-523 footprint compatibility - making it optimal for next-generation portable electronics requiring both size and precision.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of MM5Z33VT5G?
The MM5Z33VT5G has a standard tolerance of ±5%, meaning its nominal 33 V Zener voltage is guaranteed between 31.0 V and 35.0 V when tested at 5 mA reverse current and 25 °C ambient temperature. This tolerance band is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the official onsemi datasheet.
Does MM5Z33VT5G meet automotive qualification standards?
The base MM5Z33VT5G is not AEC-Q101 qualified; however, the SZMM5Z33VT5G variant - which shares identical electrical specs and SOD-523 packaging - is explicitly rated for automotive use, with PPAP capability and unique site/control change tracking per onsemi documentation.
What is the maximum power dissipation for MM5Z33VT5G at 70 °C ambient?
At 70 °C ambient, MM5Z33VT5G's maximum power dissipation is 320 mW. This is calculated using the 4.0 mW/°C derating factor from its 500 mW rating at 25 °C: 500 mW − (45 °C × 4.0 mW/°C) = 320 mW, as specified in the Maximum Ratings table.
How is polarity identified on the MM5Z33VT5G SOD-523 package?
MM5Z33VT5G uses Style 1 marking: a visible cathode band (dark stripe) on the SOD-523 body identifies Pin 1 as the cathode; Pin 2 is the anode. This polarity marking aligns with JEDEC-standard SOD-523 mechanical drawings and is verified in the "Marking Diagram" section of the onsemi datasheet.
What is the junction capacitance of MM5Z33VT5G and how does it affect high-frequency performance?
MM5Z33VT5G has a maximum junction capacitance of 70 pF measured at 0 V reverse bias and 1 MHz frequency. This value limits its effectiveness in RF or >10 MHz transient suppression but remains appropriate for DC regulation and low-speed digital I/O clamping in portable electronics.
