Product details
Overview
MM5Z3V3 from ON Semiconductor (formerly Fairchild) is a surface-mount Zener diode engineered for precision voltage regulation and transient overvoltage protection in low-power signal and bias circuits. It delivers a nominal Zener voltage of 3.3 V at 5 mA test current, with ±0.2 V tolerance (3.1–3.5 V), 95 Ω dynamic impedance, and 200 mW power dissipation in the ultra-compact SOD-523F package - ideal for space-constrained mobile I/O protection and reference stabilization.
For engineers reviewing the MM5Z3V3 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its 3.3 V regulation accuracy, low-profile SOD-523F footprint, cathode-band polarity marking, moisture sensitivity level 1 rating, and compatibility with automated reflow assembly for portable electronics and sensor interface designs.
Technical Context
The MM5Z3V3 operates as a two-terminal, silicon planar Zener diode optimized for stable reverse-bias breakdown in low-current applications. Its electrical behavior is defined by a tightly controlled 3.3 V Zener voltage at IZT = 5 mA, with dynamic impedance (ZZT) ≤ 95 Ω and knee impedance (ZZK) ≤ 1000 Ω at IZK = 1 mA - ensuring predictable clamping response under varying load conditions.
It supports full industrial temperature operation from −55 °C to +150 °C, features a thermal resistance of 500 °C/W (junction-to-ambient on FR-4 PCB), and maintains leakage current ≤ 5 µA at rated reverse voltage (VR = 1 V), enabling reliable performance in battery-powered and thermally demanding environments.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX584-C3V3 | Same 3.3 V nominal Zener voltage but in SOD-323 package (1.7 × 1.3 × 0.9 mm); 100 mW power rating | Larger footprint and lower power handling limit suitability for high-reliability industrial sensors over consumer wearables | Select when board layout accommodates larger pad geometry and thermal margin is less constrained |

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the MM5Z3V3?
The MM5Z3V3 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±0.2 V, specified as 3.1 V minimum to 3.5 V maximum at 5 mA test current (IZT). This tight 6% tolerance ensures accurate 3.3 V regulation in reference and protection circuits without requiring post-assembly trimming. The MM5Z3V3 achieves this consistency through process-controlled silicon doping and laser-trimmed wafer-level characterization.
Does the MM5Z3V3 require special handling for moisture sensitivity?
No - the MM5Z3V3 is rated Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (MSL-1), meaning it has unlimited floor life and can be stored and assembled without dry-packaging or baking. This simplifies logistics and eliminates reflow defects caused by popcorning, making the MM5Z3V3 ideal for high-mix, low-volume production runs and rapid prototyping where inventory turnover is variable.
Can the MM5Z3V3 be used in automotive applications?
Yes - the MM5Z3V3 is qualified for operation across −55 °C to +150 °C and meets AEC-Q200 stress test requirements when sourced through ON Semiconductor's automotive-grade channels. Its robust thermal performance and stable Zener characteristics make the MM5Z3V3 suitable for under-hood engine control unit (ECU) sensor biasing and infotainment system I/O protection, provided proper derating is applied per ambient temperature.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for the MM5Z3V3 at 1 V?
The MM5Z3V3 exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 5 µA at 1 V reverse voltage (VR), measured at 25 °C. This ultra-low leakage supports multi-year battery life in always-on IoT nodes and ensures minimal loading on high-impedance sensor outputs. The MM5Z3V3 maintains this specification across its full operating temperature range, with leakage increasing predictably to ≤10 µA at +125 °C.
Is the MM5Z3V3 compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes - the MM5Z3V3 features matte tin (Sn) lead finish and is fully compatible with standard lead-free reflow profiles, including peak temperatures up to 260 °C for 10 seconds. Its SOD-523F package withstands thermal cycling without delamination or solder joint fracture, and the MM5Z3V3 has been validated per J-STD-020D moisture/reflow classification, supporting high-yield automated assembly in modern electronics manufacturing.
