Product details
Overview
MMBZ5223BLT1 from onsemi is a 2.7 V, 225 mW surface-mount Zener diode in SOT-23 package, designed for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in space-constrained circuits. It delivers 2.56–2.84 V nominal Zener voltage at 20 mA test current, with 1300 Ω dynamic impedance and ≤0.25 μA leakage at 1 V reverse bias, commonly used in portable power rail clamping and reference stabilization.
For engineers reviewing the MMBZ5223BLT1 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±5%), thermal resistance (556 °C/W on FR-5), ESD rating (>16 kV HBM), and SOT-23 footprint compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference diode, conducting in reverse breakdown to maintain stable output voltage across varying load currents. Its Zener mechanism provides predictable regulation with temperature coefficient near zero at ~2.7 V, and it exhibits low forward voltage (≤0.95 V @ 10 mA) for bidirectional clamping capability.
The SOT-23 package supports automated placement and reflow soldering up to 260°C for 10 seconds, with cathode polarity marked by a band. Pin 2 is internally unconnected - confirmed by mechanical outline Style 8 and electrical characterization tables - ensuring no parasitic conduction path affects regulation accuracy.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 2.56–2.84 V @ IZT = 20 mA - defines regulated output range under standard test conditions |
| Power Dissipation | 225 mW on FR-5 board @ 25°C - sets maximum continuous power handling before thermal derating |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 1300 Ω @ IZT = 20 mA - indicates voltage stability under small-signal AC variations |
| Reverse Leakage Current | ≤0.25 μA @ VR = 1 V - ensures minimal standby current in low-power shutdown modes |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV HBM) - protects against electrostatic discharge during handling and assembly |
| Junction Temperature Range | −65°C to +150°C - supports operation in automotive under-hood and industrial environments |
| Forward Voltage | ≤0.95 V @ IF = 10 mA - enables use as bidirectional transient suppressor in signal lines |
Pinout & Package

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode | Connected to lower-potential node in reverse-bias regulation; carries forward current when used as clamp |
| 2 | No Connection | Internally unconnected terminal - must remain floating; no routing or soldering required |
| 3 | Cathode | Connected to higher-potential node; polarity band identifies this terminal for correct orientation |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C2V7LT1G | 2.7 V ±5%, 300 mW rating, same SOT-23 package but higher power dissipation | Preferred where higher surge energy absorption is needed (e.g., industrial sensor interfaces) | Select when thermal margin >225 mW is required; verify layout clearance for increased power density |
| MMBZ5223BS | Same Zener voltage spec but in SOD-123 package - 3.7 mm × 1.6 mm vs. SOT-23's 2.9 mm × 1.3 mm | Better suited for manual repair or prototyping due to larger pad spacing and visibility | Choose for hand-soldered prototypes or legacy designs requiring SOD-123 footprint compatibility |
Compared with MMBZ5223BLT1, BZX84-C2V7LT1G offers higher power headroom but requires thermal validation in tight layouts, while MMBZ5223BS trades miniaturization for easier assembly - both retain identical regulation performance but differ in physical integration constraints.

FAQ
What is the exact Zener voltage tolerance of MMBZ5223BLT1 at 20 mA test current?
The MMBZ5223BLT1 has a guaranteed Zener voltage range of 2.56 V to 2.84 V at IZT = 20 mA, representing ±5% tolerance around the nominal 2.7 V value. This specification is verified per onsemi's Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the official datasheet, with measurement performed at TA = 25°C using pulse testing to avoid self-heating effects. The MMBZ5223BLT1 maintains this tolerance across its qualified operating temperature range.
Does MMBZ5223BLT1 have a functional connection on pin 2?
No, pin 2 of the MMBZ5223BLT1 is a no-connect (NC) terminal - it is not bonded internally and must remain electrically floating in the PCB layout. This is explicitly defined in the Mechanical Characteristics section (Style 8) and confirmed by the pinout diagram on page 2 of the datasheet. Routing or soldering to pin 2 may cause assembly defects or unintended parasitic paths, so it should be left unconnected in all designs using MMBZ5223BLT1.
Can MMBZ5223BLT1 be used for bidirectional ESD protection?
Yes, the MMBZ5223BLT1 supports bidirectional clamping: its forward voltage is ≤0.95 V at 10 mA, and reverse Zener voltage is 2.7 V nominal, enabling symmetric voltage limiting between signal lines and ground. Its Class 3 ESD rating (>16 kV HBM) and low capacitance (~10 pF at 0 V bias) make it suitable for protecting low-speed digital I/O such as UART or I²C lines - a capability validated in onsemi's Typical Characteristics (Figures 4 and 5) for MMBZ5223BLT1.
What is the thermal resistance of MMBZ5223BLT1 on standard FR-5 PCB?
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RJA) of MMBZ5223BLT1 is 556 °C/W when mounted on an FR-5 board measuring 1.0 × 0.75 × 0.62 inches, as specified in the Maximum Ratings table on page 1 of the datasheet. This value assumes natural convection cooling and defines the temperature rise per milliwatt of power dissipated - critical for calculating safe operating limits in thermally constrained designs using MMBZ5223BLT1.
Is MMBZ5223BLT1 compliant with automotive qualification standards?
No, the base MMBZ5223BLT1 is not AEC-Q101 qualified; only the SZ-prefix variants (e.g., SZMMBZ5223BLT1G) carry automotive qualification and PPAP capability. The datasheet explicitly states "SZ Prefix for Automotive and Other Applications Requiring Unique Site and Control Change Requirements; AEC−Q101 Qualified and PPAP Capable" - meaning MMBZ5223BLT1 is intended for commercial/industrial use, while automotive applications require the SZMMBZ5223BLT1G variant to meet those standards.
