Product details
Overview
MM5Z43VT1 from onsemi is a 43 V, 100 mW Zener voltage regulator diode in SOD−523 package, with nominal Zener voltage of 43 V at 1 mA test current, maximum Zener impedance of 150 Ω at IZT, and reverse leakage current ≤0.05 μA at 30.1 V; it provides precision voltage clamping in space-constrained power rail protection circuits for portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the MM5Z43VT1 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±7%), low-profile SOD−523 footprint (1.20 mm × 0.80 mm), Class 3 ESD rating (>16 kV HBM), thermal stability (tempco ±0.0376 %/°C), and compatibility with lead-free reflow up to 260°C.
Technical Context
The MM5Z43VT1 operates as a two-terminal shunt voltage regulator, conducting in reverse breakdown to clamp voltage across sensitive circuit nodes. Its design centers on stable Zener conduction at low test current (IZT = 1 mA), with specified Zener impedance (ZZT = 150 Ω) and knee impedance (ZZK = 500 Ω) defining regulation linearity under varying load conditions.
It features a thermally robust junction rated for −65°C to +150°C operation and meets MSL 1 moisture sensitivity requirements. The device uses void-free epoxy molding (UL 94 V−0), 100% matte tin lead finish, and is qualified for standard surface-mount reflow profiles up to 260°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 40 V to 46 V at IZT = 1 mA - defines clamping range for overvoltage protection in 3.3 V–5 V system rails. |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 100 mW at TA = 25°C - limits continuous energy handling; derates linearly above 25°C ambient. |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 150 Ω max at IZT = 1 mA - determines voltage deviation under dynamic load transients. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤0.05 μA at VR = 30.1 V - ensures minimal standby current in battery-powered applications. |
| Temperature Coefficient | ±0.0376 %/°C - quantifies VZ drift over temperature; enables predictable clamping in industrial environments. |
| Capacitance (C) | 40 pF at VR = 0 V, f = 1 MHz - impacts high-frequency noise filtering capability in RF-adjacent circuits. |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV HBM) - supports robust handling in automated assembly and end-user environments. |
Pinout & Package
SOD−523 surface-mount package: ultra-compact 1.20 mm × 0.80 mm body with 0.7 mm height; anode and cathode terminals aligned along short edge; marked with "21" code per datasheet marking diagram.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Cathode) | Reverse-biased Zener terminal | Connected to regulated node; conducts when voltage exceeds VZ, sinking excess current to ground. |
| 2 (Anode) | Reference/ground terminal | Typically tied to system ground or low-impedance return path; establishes reference potential for clamping action. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-small SOD−523 footprint | 1.20 mm × 0.80 mm × 0.70 mm - enables placement in high-density PCB areas where 0402 or larger packages are prohibitive. |
| Low-leakage Zener regulation | IR ≤ 0.05 μA at 30.1 V - minimizes quiescent current drain in always-on battery circuits. |
| High ESD robustness | Class 3 HBM (>16 kV) - eliminates need for external ESD protection in handheld interface lines. |
| Lead-free reflow compatible | Qualified to 260°C peak - supports standard Pb-free manufacturing without solder joint reliability risk. |
| Stable tempco performance | ±0.0376 %/°C - maintains <±3% VZ shift over −40°C to +85°C operating range. |

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-C43 | 43 V nominal, 300 mW rating, SOD-323 package (1.7 mm × 1.3 mm) | Higher power handling but 2.5× larger footprint; less suitable for ultra-dense layouts | Select when >100 mW surge energy absorption is required and board area permits larger package. |
| MMSZ43ET1G | 43 V nominal, 500 mW rating, SOD-123 package (3.7 mm × 1.6 mm) | Higher PD and thermal mass, but incompatible with fine-pitch SMT lines designed for SOD−523 | Choose for legacy designs using SOD-123 footprints or where higher steady-state dissipation is needed. |
Compared with BZX584-C43 and MMSZ43ET1G, the MM5Z43VT1 delivers identical 43 V regulation in the smallest standardized footprint, enabling miniaturization-critical designs-though its 100 mW limit requires careful transient energy budgeting versus higher-power alternatives.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of MM5Z43VT1?
The MM5Z43VT1 has a Zener voltage range of 40 V to 46 V at IZT = 1 mA, representing a ±7% tolerance around the nominal 43 V value. This tolerance is verified per the onsemi datasheet Electrical Characteristics table and applies under standard test conditions (TA = 25°C). Designers should account for this spread when setting overvoltage thresholds in protection circuits using MM5Z43VT1.
Can MM5Z43VT1 be used in lead-free reflow processes?
Yes, the MM5Z43VT1 is qualified for lead-free reflow with a maximum peak temperature of 260°C and meets MSL 1 requirements. Its matte tin lead finish and thermosetting epoxy package ensure reliable solder joint formation without delamination or voiding. This makes MM5Z43VT1 fully compatible with standard J-STD-020-compliant reflow profiles used in modern electronics manufacturing.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for MM5Z43VT1?
The MM5Z43VT1 specifies a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 0.05 μA at VR = 30.1 V and TA = 25°C. This ultra-low leakage is critical for battery-powered applications where standby current must be minimized. The value is measured and guaranteed per the onsemi datasheet and remains stable across the device's operating temperature range.
How does the temperature coefficient affect MM5Z43VT1 performance?
The MM5Z43VT1 has a temperature coefficient of ±0.0376 %/°C, meaning its Zener voltage shifts by approximately ±0.016 V per °C change from 25°C. This results in a total VZ variation of less than ±3% over −40°C to +85°C, supporting stable clamping in industrial and automotive environments where thermal cycling occurs. This spec is confirmed in the datasheet's Electrical Characteristics table.
Is MM5Z43VT1 suitable for high-frequency signal line protection?
Yes, the MM5Z43VT1 exhibits 40 pF capacitance at VR = 0 V and f = 1 MHz, making it suitable for protecting low-speed digital and analog signal lines without introducing significant signal distortion. Its low capacitance preserves rise/fall times in interfaces up to ~10 MHz. For RF or high-speed data lines (>50 MHz), additional layout isolation or lower-capacitance TVS devices may be preferred-but MM5Z43VT1 remains effective for general-purpose I/O clamping.
