Product details
Overview
MM5Z4685T1G from onsemi is a 3.6 V nominal Zener voltage regulator diode in SOD−523 package, rated for 500 mW power dissipation at TL = 75°C, with 50 µA test current (IZT), 7.5 µA reverse leakage at 2 V (IR), and ±150°C operating junction temperature range. It provides precision low-voltage regulation in space-constrained portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the MM5Z4685T1G 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 voltage reference and overvoltage protection design.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable voltage across its terminals under varying load and input conditions. Its 3.6 V nominal Zener voltage is specified at IZT = 50 µA with ±0.18 V tolerance (3.42–3.78 V), and exhibits a temperature coefficient near zero in the 3–4 V range per typical characterization data.
The device uses a silicon planar Zener structure in a void-free thermosetting plastic SOD−523 case, rated for 260°C soldering (10 s), UL 94 V−0 flammability, and Pb−free/RoHS compliance. Cathode polarity is marked by a band on terminal 1.
Key Specifications

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-C3V6 | 3.6 V nominal, 350 mW rating, SOD-323 package (1.7 × 1.3 mm), 100 nA IR @ 1 V | Lower power rating and larger footprint limit use in ultra-thin mobile designs; superior low-leakage performance suits precision references | Select when ultra-low IR dominates over size constraints and board thermal capacity supports lower PD |
| MMSZ4685T1G | Identical 3.6 V Zener spec, same 500 mW rating, but in larger SOD-123 (3.7 × 1.6 mm) package with higher thermal mass | Improved thermal dissipation supports higher average power in non-space-limited industrial PCBs; less suitable for fine-pitch BGA routing zones | Choose when board layout allows larger footprint and enhanced thermal reliability is prioritized over miniaturization |
Compared with BZX584-C3V6 and MMSZ4685T1G, the MM5Z4685T1G uniquely balances sub-1 mm² area, 500 mW capability, and production-ready AEC−Q101 qualification-making it optimal for next-gen portable and automotive edge nodes where volume, thermal, and compliance requirements intersect.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of MM5Z4685T1G at 50 µA test current?
The MM5Z4685T1G has a guaranteed Zener voltage range of 3.42 V to 3.78 V when measured at IZT = 50 µA and TL = 30°C ±1°C. This ±0.18 V tolerance reflects the device's precision for 3.3 V rail stabilization and ensures compatibility with tight-margin digital I/O interfaces. The nominal value of 3.6 V is centered within this band and validated per onsemi's production testing protocol.
Can MM5Z4685T1G be used in automotive applications?
Yes, MM5Z4685T1G is AEC−Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, making it suitable for automotive applications including body control modules, infotainment power rails, and sensor interface protection. Its −55°C to +150°C junction temperature range, Class 3 ESD rating (>16 kV HBM), and Pb−free construction meet stringent automotive reliability and compliance requirements.
What is the maximum allowable soldering temperature for MM5Z4685T1G?
The MM5Z4685T1G supports lead-free reflow soldering up to 260°C for 10 seconds maximum, as specified in its mechanical characteristics. This aligns with IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level (MSL) requirements and ensures reliable attachment without delamination or internal damage when following recommended thermal profiles.
How does the leakage current of MM5Z4685T1G compare at 2 V reverse bias?
At VR = 2 V, the MM5Z4685T1G exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 7.5 µA, as confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table. This low leakage supports extended battery life in always-on sensor nodes and avoids loading sensitive reference inputs-critical for high-impedance analog signal chains where even microamp-level currents degrade accuracy.
Is MM5Z4685T1G compatible with automated pick-and-place assembly?
Yes, MM5Z4685T1G is supplied in tape-and-reel format (3,000 units per reel) and features a standardized SOD−523 footprint optimized for high-speed automated board assembly. Its consistent marking (4H), polarity band visibility, and thermally robust package enable reliable placement and reflow yield in volume manufacturing environments.
