Product details
Overview
MMBZ5226BLT3G 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 MMBZ5226BLT3G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±5%), thermal resistance (556 °C/W), 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 with cathode-anode polarity, requiring no external biasing circuitry. Its Zener breakdown mechanism delivers stable regulation across −65°C to +150°C junction temperature range, with temperature coefficient near zero at its nominal 3.3 V rating.
The SOT-23 package features a defined pinout (Pin 1: Anode, Pin 2: No Connection, Pin 3: Cathode) and supports automated placement. Thermal performance is specified for both FR-5 board (225 mW @ 25°C) and alumina substrate (300 mW @ 25°C), enabling use in thermally demanding environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 3.3 V nominal, 3.13–3.47 V range at 20 mA - defines regulated output voltage under standard test conditions |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 225 mW on FR-5 board @ 25°C - maximum continuous power before thermal derating begins |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 28 Ω @ IZT = 20 mA - low dynamic impedance ensures minimal output voltage variation under load changes |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 25 μA @ VR = 1 V - low leakage preserves battery life in always-on standby circuits |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV HBM) - enables direct integration into handheld device I/O lines without additional ESD protection |
| Junction Temperature Range | −65°C to +150°C - supports operation in automotive under-hood and industrial control environments |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 0.95 V max @ IF = 10 mA - allows use as clamping diode in bidirectional signal protection |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23 (TO-236) surface-mount package, 2.90 mm × 1.30 mm × 1.00 mm body size, Pb-free and RoHS compliant. Cathode identified by polarity band; Pin 2 is internally unconnected.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| Pin 2 | No Connection | Internally isolated; must remain floating - no PCB trace or pad connection required |
| Pin 3 | Cathode | Connected to higher-potential side (e.g., supply rail); carries full Zener current during regulation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C3V3LT1G | Same 3.3 V nominal Zener, but 300 mW rating and 60 Ω ZZT; slightly larger thermal resistance (625 °C/W) | Higher power handling suits 125°C ambient industrial sensors; higher impedance reduces regulation precision | Select when higher surge energy absorption is needed and tighter voltage regulation is secondary |
| MMBZ5226BS-TP | Identical electrical specs but SOD-123 package (3.7 mm × 1.6 mm); 350 mW rating on FR-4 | Larger footprint eases hand-soldering and improves thermal margin; incompatible with SOT-23 pick-and-place feeders | Select for prototyping or low-volume production where manual assembly or thermal headroom outweighs density constraints |
Compared with BZX84-C3V3LT1G and MMBZ5226BS-TP, the MMBZ5226BLT3G offers optimal balance of SOT-23 miniaturization, 28 Ω low-impedance regulation, and Class 3 ESD robustness - making it preferred for high-density portable designs where board space and transient immunity are co-critical.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of MMBZ5226BLT3G?
The MMBZ5226BLT3G has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±5% around its nominal 3.3 V rating, meaning the actual measured VZ falls between 3.13 V and 3.47 V at 20 mA test current and 25°C ambient. This tolerance is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the official onsemi datasheet. The MMBZ5226BLT3G maintains this specification across its qualified operating temperature range.
Does MMBZ5226BLT3G have a functional pin 2?
No, pin 2 of the MMBZ5226BLT3G is a no-connect terminal - it is not bonded internally and must remain electrically floating on the PCB. The device functions solely between pin 1 (anode) and pin 3 (cathode), as explicitly stated in the marking diagram and mechanical outline documentation. Connecting pin 2 on the MMBZ5226BLT3G risks compromising reliability or violating the specified SOT-23 layout rules.
What is the maximum power dissipation of MMBZ5226BLT3G on a standard PCB?
The MMBZ5226BLT3G is rated for 225 mW total power dissipation on an FR-5 board at 25°C ambient temperature, with linear derating of 1.8 mW/°C above that temperature. This value is specified in the Maximum Ratings table and reflects real-world thermal performance on typical consumer-grade PCBs. The MMBZ5226BLT3G achieves this rating without heatsinking due to its optimized SOT-23 thermal path.
Is MMBZ5226BLT3G suitable for automotive applications?
The MMBZ5226BLT3G itself is not AEC-Q101 qualified; however, the automotive-grade variant SZMMBZ5226BLT3G is fully qualified and PPAP-capable. For non-automotive industrial or consumer use, the MMBZ5226BLT3G meets all electrical and environmental requirements including −65°C to +150°C junction temperature range and >16 kV HBM ESD rating. Always specify SZMMBZ5226BLT3G when automotive qualification is mandatory.
How does the ESD rating of MMBZ5226BLT3G compare to standard I/O protection requirements?
The MMBZ5226BLT3G delivers Class 3 Human Body Model ESD immunity (>16 kV), exceeding IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 (8 kV contact / 15 kV air) requirements for most commercial and industrial end-equipment. This allows the MMBZ5226BLT3G to serve as primary ESD suppression on low-speed signal lines - eliminating secondary protection devices in designs such as GPIO interfaces or sensor buses where 3.3 V clamping is appropriate.
