Product details
Overview
MM5Z4V3ST1 from onsemi is a 4.3 V ±3% Zener diode in SOD−523 package, rated for 200 mW steady-state power dissipation at 25°C, with 90 Ω max Zener impedance at 5 mA test current and 1.0 μA max reverse leakage at 3.0 V. It provides precision voltage regulation in space-constrained portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the MM5Z4V3ST1 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±3%), low-profile SOD−523 footprint (1.20 mm × 0.80 mm), ESD robustness (>16 kV HBM), thermal resistance (635°C/W), and tight ZZK (1000 Ω max at 1 mA).
Technical Context
The MM5Z4V3ST1 operates as a two-terminal voltage reference device, conducting in reverse breakdown to clamp voltage at 4.17–4.43 V with temperature coefficient of −3.5 mV/°C. Its design supports stable regulation under low-current conditions (IZT = 5 mA, IZK = 1 mA) and maintains low capacitance (450 pF max at 0 V, 1 MHz).
It features Pb-free matte tin lead finish, meets MSL 1 reflow requirements (260°C peak), and is qualified for use on FR-4 PCBs with minimum pad layout. The SOD−523 case (502-01) has void-free thermosetting epoxy meeting UL 94 V−0.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX584-C4V3 | Same 4.3 V nominal, but SOD-323 package (1.7 mm × 1.3 mm); 350 mW rating; 100 Ω ZZT | Larger footprint; higher power handling; less suitable for ultra-dense PCBs | Select when higher surge energy absorption is required and board area permits |

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of MM5Z4V3ST1?
The MM5Z4V3ST1 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±3%, specified as 4.17 V minimum to 4.43 V maximum at 5 mA test current. This tight tolerance enables accurate voltage clamping without post-production calibration and reduces design margin overhead in precision biasing circuits. The MM5Z4V3ST1 achieves this via process-controlled doping and laser trimming during manufacturing.
Does MM5Z4V3ST1 support lead-free reflow soldering?
Yes, the MM5Z4V3ST1 uses 100% matte tin lead finish and is qualified for lead-free reflow up to 260°C peak temperature per JEDEC J-STD-020. It meets MSL Level 1 requirements, meaning it can be stored indefinitely at ambient conditions without baking prior to assembly. The MM5Z4V3ST1's SOD−523 package is fully compatible with standard surface-mount reflow profiles.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for MM5Z4V3ST1?
The MM5Z4V3ST1 specifies a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 1.0 μA at 3.0 V reverse voltage and 25°C ambient temperature. This low leakage ensures minimal power loss in battery-operated systems and preserves accuracy in high-impedance reference networks. The MM5Z4V3ST1 maintains this performance across its full operating temperature range (−65°C to +150°C).
How does the thermal resistance of MM5Z4V3ST1 affect its power handling?
The MM5Z4V3ST1 has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RJA) of 635°C/W on FR-4 board, limiting its usable power dissipation to 200 mW at 25°C. Above 25°C, it must be derated at 1.5 mW/°C - e.g., only 125 mW at 75°C ambient. This RJA value reflects the SOD−523 package's small thermal mass and limited copper pad area, so the MM5Z4V3ST1 is optimized for low-duty-cycle or low-current regulation, not continuous high-power operation.
Is MM5Z4V3ST1 suitable for ESD protection in USB 2.0 interfaces?
Yes, the MM5Z4V3ST1 is suitable for USB 2.0 ESD protection due to its 450 pF capacitance at 0 V (1 MHz), Class 3 (>16 kV HBM) ESD rating, and fast response in reverse breakdown. Its 4.3 V Zener voltage clamps transients before they reach the 5.5 V absolute maximum rating of most USB PHY ICs. The MM5Z4V3ST1's compact SOD−523 footprint allows placement directly at the connector, minimizing trace inductance and improving protection efficacy.
