Product details
Overview
MM5Z4703T1G from onsemi is a 500 mW, 16 V nominal Zener voltage regulator diode in SOD−523 package, with 50 μA test current (IZT), 0.05 μA leakage current at 12.1 V reverse bias, and ±5% voltage tolerance; it provides precision voltage reference and overvoltage clamping in space-constrained portable power rails.
For engineers reviewing the MM5Z4703T1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal derating behavior, ESD robustness (Class 3, >16 kV HBM), and real-world use context for low-power voltage regulation in high-density PCBs.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable voltage across its terminals under varying load and temperature conditions. Its 16 V nominal Zener voltage is specified at IZT = 50 μA, with a typical temperature coefficient of +3.5 mV/°C in the 12–20 V range.
The device exhibits 0.05 μA maximum reverse leakage at VR = 12.1 V (80% of VZ), and thermal resistance RJA = 250 °C/W enables operation up to +150 °C junction temperature when mounted on FR−5 board with proper layout.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 15.2 V (min) to 16.8 V (max) at IZT = 50 μA - defines regulated output voltage window under standard test condition |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 500 mW @ TL = 75°C - sets maximum steady-state power handling on FR−5 board before thermal derating applies |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤ 0.05 μA @ VR = 12.1 V - ensures minimal standby current draw in voltage-reference or protection circuits |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV) per HBM - supports robust handling in automated assembly and end-use environments without added protection |
| Package | SOD−523 (1.20 × 0.80 × 0.60 mm) - enables placement in ultra-compact layouts such as smartphone PMIC rails and wearable sensor nodes |
| Junction Temp Range | −55°C to +150°C - allows deployment in automotive cabin modules and industrial edge sensors without thermal shutdown risk |
Pinout & Package

| 2 (Unbanded End) | Anode | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; completes current path during regulation or clamping |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low IZT test current | 50 μA enables stable regulation in micro-power systems where supply current must remain sub-100 μA |
| Pb−Free & RoHS compliant | Meets global environmental compliance requirements without compromising solderability or reliability |

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-C16 | Same 16 V nominal Zener, but rated at 300 mW and packaged in SOD-323 (1.7 × 1.3 mm) | Larger footprint and lower power rating limit use in ultra-thin or high-density layouts | Select when legacy SOD-323 compatibility or lower cost is prioritized over miniaturization |
| MMSZ4703T1G | Identical electrical specs and SOD-523 package, but marked as obsolete by onsemi as of 2023 | No functional difference; not recommended for new designs due to lifecycle status | MM5Z4703T1G is the active, drop-in replacement with identical marking, packaging, and qualification |

FAQ
What is the nominal Zener voltage of MM5Z4703T1G and how tightly is it specified?
The MM5Z4703T1G has a nominal Zener voltage of 16 V, with a guaranteed range of 15.2 V (minimum) to 16.8 V (maximum) at IZT = 50 μA and TA = 25°C. This ±5% tolerance ensures predictable regulation performance across production lots without requiring post-assembly calibration, making MM5Z4703T1G suitable for fixed-voltage reference and clamping roles where tight initial accuracy is required.
Does MM5Z4703T1G meet automotive qualification standards?
MM5Z4703T1G itself is not AEC-Q101 qualified; however, its automotive-grade counterpart SZMM5Z4703T1G is fully AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable. The MM5Z4703T1G shares identical electrical characteristics, SOD−523 package, and Pb−Free/RoHS compliance-but is intended for industrial and consumer applications where full automotive qualification is not mandated.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for MM5Z4703T1G and at what voltage is it measured?
The maximum reverse leakage current for MM5Z4703T1G is 0.05 μA, measured at VR = 12.1 V (80% of nominal VZ). This ultra-low leakage ensures minimal quiescent current draw in battery-powered systems and prevents unintended loading of sensitive reference nodes, a key design advantage of MM5Z4703T1G in always-on sensor and IoT applications.
Can MM5Z4703T1G be used in place of older MMSZ4703 devices?
Yes-MM5Z4703T1G is the direct, active-replacement successor to MMSZ4703T1G, with identical electrical specifications, SOD−523 package dimensions, marking (4Z), and thermal performance. onsemi discontinued MMSZ4703T1G in 2023; MM5Z4703T1G maintains full pin-to-pin and functional compatibility while offering improved manufacturing consistency and extended lifecycle support.
What is the thermal resistance and derating behavior of MM5Z4703T1G on standard PCBs?
MM5Z4703T1G has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RJA) of 250 °C/W when mounted on FR−5 board. Its power dissipation is rated at 500 mW up to TL = 75°C, then derated linearly at 4.0 mW/°C above that temperature. This behavior allows precise thermal modeling in compact PCBs, ensuring safe operation even in enclosed enclosures where board temperature may exceed ambient by >20°C.
