Product details
Overview
MMBZ5226BLT1 from onsemi is a 3.3 V ±5% Zener diode in SOT-23 package, rated for 225 mW power dissipation on FR-5 board, with 28 Ω dynamic impedance at 20 mA test current and 25 µA reverse leakage at 1 V. It provides precision voltage regulation in space-constrained portable electronics such as smartphone power rails and USB interface protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MMBZ5226BLT1 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its 3.3 V nominal Zener voltage, 225 mW surface-mount power rating, Class 3 ESD robustness (>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 clamp voltage at its specified Zener level. Its 3.3 V nominal voltage falls within the low-voltage regulation range optimized for 3.3 V logic supply stabilization and I/O rail protection.
The SOT-23 package features Pin 1 (Anode), Pin 2 (No Connection), and Pin 3 (Cathode), with polarity indicated by a band. Thermal resistance is 556 °C/W junction-to-ambient on FR-5 board, enabling stable operation up to +150 °C junction temperature.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C3V3 | 3.3 V ±5%, 300 mW rating, same SOT-23 package but higher power capability | Higher power handling allows use in 5 V rail clamping with series resistor; less optimal for ultra-low-leakage designs | Select when higher surge energy absorption is needed; verify thermal margin on FR-5 board |
| MMBZ5226BS | Identical electrical specs but in SOD-123 package (larger footprint, 400 mW rating) | Requires PCB layout change; suited for industrial boards where space is less constrained | Choose for legacy designs using SOD-123 or where higher reliability margin under sustained power is required |
Compared with BZX84-C3V3 and MMBZ5226BS, the MMBZ5226BLT1 offers the tightest balance of 225 mW power rating, ultra-small SOT-23 footprint, and 25 µA leakage-making it optimal for space- and power-sensitive portable applications where board real estate is premium.

FAQ
What is the exact Zener voltage tolerance for MMBZ5226BLT1?
The MMBZ5226BLT1 has a Zener voltage range of 3.13 V to 3.47 V at 20 mA test current, corresponding to a ±5% tolerance around the nominal 3.3 V value. This tolerance is guaranteed per the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the official onsemi datasheet, and applies under standard test conditions of TA = 25°C.
Does MMBZ5226BLT1 have a functional pin 2 connection?
No, MMBZ5226BLT1 has no internal connection to pin 2 - it is explicitly designated as "No Connection" in the mechanical outline (Style 8) and confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table. PCB layout must leave pin 2 unconnected; routing or soldering to this terminal may compromise device reliability or cause misassembly.
Is MMBZ5226BLT1 suitable for automotive applications?
The standard MMBZ5226BLT1 is not AEC-Q101 qualified. For automotive use, the SZMMBZ5226BLT1G variant - which shares identical electrical specs but includes PPAP-capable manufacturing and site-specific controls - must be selected. The "SZ" prefix denotes automotive-grade qualification per onsemi's ordering nomenclature.
What is the maximum allowable soldering temperature for MMBZ5226BLT1?
The maximum case temperature for soldering MMBZ5226BLT1 is 260°C for 10 seconds, as specified in the Mechanical Characteristics section. This limit applies to both reflow and hand-soldering processes and ensures integrity of the void-free transfer-molded plastic case and internal wire bonds.
How does the 225 mW rating of MMBZ5226BLT1 translate to practical board-level design?
The 225 mW rating for MMBZ5226BLT1 is measured on FR-5 board (1.0 × 0.75 × 0.62 in); exceeding this power - even briefly - risks thermal runaway. Designers must calculate worst-case power (VZ × IZ) under all operating conditions and ensure average dissipation stays below 225 mW, with derating of 1.8 mW/°C above 25°C ambient.
