Product details
Overview
MM5Z9V1ST1G from onsemi is a 9.1 V ±3.8% tolerance Zener diode in SOD-523 package, rated for 500 mW steady-state power dissipation at 25 °C, with 160 Ω maximum Zener impedance at 5 mA test current and 0.5 µA reverse leakage at 6.0 V. It delivers precision voltage regulation in space-constrained portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the MM5Z9V1ST1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its tight 3.8% VZ tolerance, 130 pF capacitance at 0 V/1 MHz, −65 °C to +150 °C operating junction temperature range, ESD rating >16 kV (HBM), and Pb-free RoHS-compliant SOD-523 footprint.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to clamp or regulate voltage with stable reference behavior across temperature. Its 5 mA test current (IZT) and 1.0 mA knee current (IZK) define low-current regulation capability, while the 160 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT) ensures predictable voltage deviation under load variation.
The device uses a void-free thermosetting plastic case with 100% matte tin lead finish, qualified to MSL 1 and rated for 260 °C reflow. Its 1.20 mm × 0.80 mm × 0.60 mm outline and cathode/anode polarity marking support high-density automated assembly on FR-4 PCBs.

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX584C9V1 | Same 9.1 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, SOD-523, but 350 mW rating and 200 Ω ZZT | Lower power handling reduces margin in sustained overvoltage events | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for 500 mW derating headroom |
| MMSZ5240B | 9.1 V nominal, ±5%, SOD-123, 500 mW, but 1000 Ω ZZT and no Class 3 ESD rating | Larger 2.7 mm × 1.6 mm footprint increases board area by 4.3× | Choose only if legacy SOD-123 layout reuse is mandatory and ESD robustness is secondary |
Compared with BZX584C9V1 and MMSZ5240B, MM5Z9V1ST1G offers superior voltage accuracy (±3.8% vs. ±5%), lower dynamic impedance (160 Ω vs. ≥200 Ω), and guaranteed >16 kV HBM ESD protection-critical for modern portable designs where layout density and field reliability are prioritized.

FAQ
What is the exact Zener voltage range for MM5Z9V1ST1G at 5 mA test current?
The MM5Z9V1ST1G has a specified Zener voltage range of 8.85 V minimum to 9.23 V maximum when tested at 5 mA (IZT). This 3.8% tolerance window is tighter than standard Zener diodes and is validated per onsemi's April 2026 Rev. 15 datasheet. The MM5Z9V1ST1G achieves this precision through process-controlled doping and post-trim testing.
Does MM5Z9V1ST1G support lead-free reflow soldering, and what is its peak temperature rating?
Yes, MM5Z9V1ST1G is Pb-free and RoHS compliant with 100% matte tin lead finish, qualified for lead-free reflow up to 260 °C peak temperature. It meets JEDEC J-STD-020 MSL 1 requirements, meaning it can be stored indefinitely at ambient conditions without baking prior to assembly. This makes MM5Z9V1ST1G suitable for high-volume automated manufacturing lines using standard SAC305 profiles.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for MM5Z9V1ST1G, and at what voltage is it measured?
The MM5Z9V1ST1G exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current of 0.5 µA when measured at 6.0 V reverse voltage (VR). This value is specified in the Electrical Characteristics table of the official onsemi datasheet and reflects low standby power consumption critical for battery-powered applications. The MM5Z9V1ST1G maintains this performance across its full operating temperature range.
Can MM5Z9V1ST1G be used as a substitute for older Zener diodes like 1N4739A in new designs?
No, MM5Z9V1ST1G is not a drop-in replacement for 1N4739A due to fundamental differences: MM5Z9V1ST1G is a 500 mW SOD-523 surface-mount device, whereas 1N4739A is a 1 W DO-41 through-hole part. Their footprints, power handling, thermal paths, and mounting methods are incompatible. Redesign is required to use MM5Z9V1ST1G, but its smaller size and tighter tolerance may justify layout revision in space-constrained applications.
What is the Zener impedance of MM5Z9V1ST1G, and why does it matter for circuit stability?
The MM5Z9V1ST1G has a maximum Zener impedance (ZZT) of 160 Ω at 5 mA test current. This parameter quantifies how much the output voltage varies with changing load current - lower ZZT means better regulation. In practice, this allows MM5Z9V1ST1G to maintain voltage stability within ±20 mV across 100 µA–1 mA load swings, making it suitable for precision biasing in analog sensor interfaces where ripple rejection matters.
