Product details
Overview
MM5Z3V9T1G from onsemi is a 3.9 V ±5% Zener diode in SOD-523 package, rated for 500 mW steady-state power dissipation, 90 Ω max Zener impedance at 5 mA test current, and 3 µA max reverse leakage at 3 V. It provides precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in space-constrained portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the MM5Z3V9T1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its 3.9 V nominal Zener voltage with ±5% tolerance, 500 mW power rating on FR-4 board, 90 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT = 5 mA, Class 3 ESD rating (>16 kV HBM), and SOD-523 footprint compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference diode, conducting in reverse breakdown to clamp voltage at ~3.9 V when reverse-biased above its Zener threshold. Its low 0.7 mm body height and 1.20 mm × 0.80 mm outline enable integration into ultra-thin mobile handsets and wearables.
Thermal derating follows a linear 4.0 mW/°C reduction above 25 °C ambient, with junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 250 °C/W on FR-4 board. The 100% matte tin lead finish supports Pb-free reflow up to 260 °C and meets MSL 1 requirements.
Key Specifications

| Power Dissipation | 500 mW - maximum continuous power on FR-4 board at 25 °C; requires derating above that temperature |
| Zener Impedance | 90 Ω max at IZT = 5 mA - defines voltage stability under varying load current |
| Reverse Leakage | 3 µA max at VR = 3 V - ensures minimal standby current in voltage-sense or clamping circuits |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV HBM) - protects against electrostatic discharge during handling and assembly |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX584-C3V9 | Same 3.9 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, but SOD-323 package (1.7 × 1.3 mm); 350 mW power rating | Larger footprint and lower power limit reduce suitability for ultra-dense layouts requiring SOD-523 | Select BZX584-C3V9 only if board area permits larger package and thermal budget allows 350 mW max |
| MM3Z3V9T1G | Identical electrical specs but in SOD-323 package; same 500 mW rating, 90 Ω ZZT, and marking "AJ" | SOD-323 footprint incompatible with SOD-523 land pattern; requires PCB redesign | Choose MM3Z3V9T1G only when SOD-323 is already standardized in the design and layout change is acceptable |
Compared with BZX584-C3V9 and MM3Z3V9T1G, the MM5Z3V9T1G delivers identical Zener performance in the smallest standard footprint (SOD-523), enabling higher component density without sacrificing regulation accuracy or thermal capability.

FAQ
What is the nominal Zener voltage and tolerance of the MM5Z3V9T1G?
The MM5Z3V9T1G has a nominal Zener voltage of 3.9 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%, meaning its actual breakdown voltage falls between 3.7 V and 4.2 V at 25 °C and 5 mA test current. This tolerance is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the official onsemi datasheet (Rev. 19, April 2025). The MM5Z3V9T1G maintains this specification across its qualified operating temperature range.
What package type and dimensions does the MM5Z3V9T1G use?
The MM5Z3V9T1G uses the SOD-523 package (Case 502), measuring 1.20 mm × 0.80 mm × 0.70 mm. Its compact size and low 0.7 mm height make it ideal for ultra-thin portable devices. The cathode is marked by a polarity band on Pin 1, and the device features 100% matte tin plating compatible with Pb-free reflow up to 260 °C, per the mechanical drawings in the onsemi datasheet.
What is the maximum power dissipation and thermal derating behavior of the MM5Z3V9T1G?
The MM5Z3V9T1G has a maximum steady-state power dissipation of 500 mW at 25 °C ambient on an FR-4 board, with linear derating of 4.0 mW/°C above that temperature. Its junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is 250 °C/W under the same conditions. These values are specified in the Maximum Ratings table (page 1) of the onsemi datasheet and define safe continuous operation limits for thermal design.
Does the MM5Z3V9T1G have ESD protection, and what level is rated?
Yes, the MM5Z3V9T1G is rated for Class 3 ESD protection per the Human Body Model (HBM), exceeding 16 kV. This rating is explicitly stated in the Specification Features section of the onsemi datasheet and confirms robustness against electrostatic discharge during handling, assembly, and end-use in portable electronics environments.
How does the MM5Z3V9T1G compare to the MM3Z3V9T1G in terms of package and compatibility?
The MM5Z3V9T1G and MM3Z3V9T1G share identical electrical specifications-including 3.9 V nominal Zener voltage, ±5% tolerance, 500 mW power rating, and 90 Ω Zener impedance-but differ in package: MM5Z3V9T1G uses SOD-523 (1.20 × 0.80 mm), while MM3Z3V9T1G uses SOD-323 (1.7 × 1.3 mm). Their footprints are not interchangeable; using MM3Z3V9T1G requires PCB layout revision due to larger pad dimensions and pitch.
