Product details
Overview
MM5Z4686T1G from onsemi is a 3.9 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), 5 µA reverse leakage at 2 V (IR), and ±5% Zener voltage tolerance. It provides precision low-voltage regulation in space-constrained portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the MM5Z4686T1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its 3.9 V Zener voltage, 50 µA IZT, 5 µA IR @ 2 V, SOD−523 footprint compatibility, and Class 3 ESD rating (>16 kV HBM).
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal shunt voltage reference, maintaining stable output voltage across variable load currents via controlled reverse breakdown. Its thermal resistance (RJA = 250 °C/W) and derating slope (4.0 mW/°C above 75°C) define safe operating limits on FR−5 board.
Zener voltage is specified at IZT = 50 µA with ±5% tolerance (3.70–4.10 V), and temperature coefficient is optimized for low-drift performance in the 3–4 V range. Reverse leakage remains ≤5 µA at VR = 2 V, supporting low-power standby regulation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 3.9 V nominal (3.70–4.10 V range); sets precise clamping/reference level for low-voltage rails. |
| Test Current (IZT) | 50 µA; defines the operating point where VZ is guaranteed and measured. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 5 µA max @ VR = 2 V; ensures minimal quiescent current in standby mode. |
| Power Rating (PD) | 500 mW @ TL = 75°C; supports moderate transient energy absorption on standard PCBs. |
| Package | SOD−523 (1.20 × 0.80 × 0.60 mm); enables high-density placement on compact PCBs. |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV HBM); withstands handling and assembly without protection circuitry. |
Pinout & Package

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Banded End) | Cathode | Connected to regulated voltage node; reverse-biased during Zener operation. |
| 2 (Non-banded End) | Anode | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; completes shunt regulation path. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low IZT operation | 50 µA test current enables regulation in ultra-low-power systems (e.g., battery-backed circuits). |
| Precision voltage tolerance | ±5% VZ (3.70–4.10 V) ensures predictable clamping without post-assembly trimming. |
| High-density packaging | SOD−523 footprint (1.20 × 0.80 mm) saves >60% board area vs. SOD−123 in portable designs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX584C3V9 | Same 3.9 V nominal VZ, but SOD-323 package (1.7 × 1.3 mm); 200 mW rating; 10 µA IR @ 2 V. | Lower power handling and larger footprint reduce suitability for ultra-dense layouts. | Select when legacy SOD-323 footprint compatibility is required and 200 mW suffices. |
| MMSZ4686T1G | Identical electrical specs (3.9 V, 50 µA IZT, 5 µA IR), but SOD-123 package (3.7 × 1.6 mm); 500 mW rating. | 3× larger footprint limits use in sub-3 mm² modules; higher thermal mass slows response. | Choose only if SOD-123 is mandated by existing layout or thermal mass improves surge resilience. |
Compared with BZX584C3V9 and MMSZ4686T1G, MM5Z4686T1G delivers identical Zener performance in the smallest possible footprint (SOD−523), enabling highest PCB density and lowest parasitic capacitance-critical for RF-adjacent and wearables applications.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of MM5Z4686T1G?
The MM5Z4686T1G has a nominal Zener voltage of 3.9 V with a guaranteed tolerance of ±5%, meaning the actual VZ falls between 3.70 V and 4.10 V when measured at IZT = 50 µA and TA = 25°C. This tight tolerance eliminates need for external calibration in most low-voltage reference applications.
Can MM5Z4686T1G be used in place of a 3.3 V Zener diode?
No-MM5Z4686T1G is specified for 3.9 V nominal Zener voltage and is not a substitute for 3.3 V devices like MM5Z3V3T1G. Using it in a 3.3 V rail would result in insufficient clamping margin and potential IC damage during overvoltage events. Always match VZ to the target rail's absolute maximum rating.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for MM5Z4686T1G?
The MM5Z4686T1G exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 5 µA when biased at VR = 2 V and TA = 25°C. This low leakage supports microamp-level standby current budgets in battery-powered systems without compromising regulation accuracy.
Is MM5Z4686T1G RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes-MM5Z4686T1G is explicitly marked as Pb−Free in the ordering information and complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. The "G" suffix denotes lead-free packaging, and the device meets onsemi's Pb−Free strategy including compatible soldering profiles up to 260°C for 10 seconds.
What is the thermal resistance (RJA) of MM5Z4686T1G?
The MM5Z4686T1G has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RJA) of 250 °C/W when mounted on an FR−5 board per the defined footprint. This value governs power derating: above 75°C board temperature, power must be reduced by 4.0 mW/°C to maintain safe junction temperatures.
