Product details
Overview
MMBZ5228BLT1H from onsemi is a 3.9 V ±5% Zener voltage regulator diode in SOT-23 package, rated for 225 mW power dissipation on FR-5 board at 25°C, with 23 Ω maximum Zener impedance at 20 mA test current and 10 µA reverse leakage at 1 V. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in low-power portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the MMBZ5228BLT1H datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its 3.9 V nominal Zener voltage, 225 mW surface-mount power rating, SOT-23 footprint compatibility, Class 3 ESD robustness (>16 kV HBM), and automotive-grade AEC-Q101 qualification status.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal silicon Zener diode, conducting in reverse breakdown to maintain stable voltage across its cathode-anode terminals when biased above its specified VZ. Its thermal resistance of 556°C/W (FR-5) and junction temperature range of −65°C to +150°C support reliable operation in compact, thermally constrained PCB layouts.
The MMBZ5228BLT1H features a no-connect (NC) terminal (Pin 2), enabling simplified layout routing and reducing parasitic coupling. Its 0.25 µA leakage at VR = 1 V and 1900 Ω dynamic impedance at IZK = 0.25 mA ensure low standby current draw and predictable regulation under light-load conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 3.70–4.10 V at 20 mA - defines precise clamping/reference point for 3.3 V rail protection or biasing |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 225 mW on FR-5 board - limits continuous current to ~57 mA at 3.9 V without derating |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 23 Ω max at IZT = 20 mA - ensures <115 mV output variation for ±2.5 mA load shifts |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 10 µA max at VR = 1 V - enables ultra-low quiescent current in battery-backed circuits |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV HBM) - eliminates need for external ESD protection in handheld interfaces |
| Junction Temp Range | −65°C to +150°C - supports operation in automotive engine compartments and industrial enclosures |
Pinout & Package

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Anode) | Forward conduction terminal / Zener cathode reference | Connected to ground or lower-potential node during reverse-bias regulation |
| 2 (NC) | No internal connection | Unused pad; may be left floating or tied to ground for mechanical stability-no electrical function |
| 3 (Cathode) | Zener breakdown terminal / voltage reference output | Connected to regulated node (e.g., microcontroller reset line or ADC reference) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

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-C3V9 | Same 3.9 V nominal Zener, but 350 mW rating and higher ZZT (60 Ω) | Higher power handling suits 5 V rail clamping; less stable under microamp loads | Select for cost-sensitive consumer designs where tighter regulation isn't critical |
| SZMMBZ5228BLT1G | Identical electrical specs; AEC-Q101 certified with SZ prefix and PPAP documentation | Required for Tier-1 automotive BOMs needing full traceability and change control | Select when automotive qualification and manufacturing site control are mandatory |
Compared with BZX84-C3V9, MMBZ5228BLT1H offers superior low-current regulation stability and smaller footprint; compared with SZMMBZ5228BLT1G, it lacks formal PPAP support but shares identical silicon and packaging-ideal for pre-qualification prototyping or non-automotive industrial use.

FAQ
What is the exact Zener voltage tolerance for MMBZ5228BLT1H?
The MMBZ5228BLT1H has a guaranteed Zener voltage range of 3.70 V to 4.10 V at 20 mA test current (IZT), corresponding to a ±5% tolerance around the nominal 3.9 V value. This tolerance is verified per onsemi's production testing and applies across the full operating temperature range of −65°C to +150°C.
Does MMBZ5228BLT1H have a functional Pin 2 connection?
No-Pin 2 of the MMBZ5228BLT1H is internally unconnected (NC). The device functions identically with Pin 2 left floating or grounded for mechanical reinforcement. This NC pin simplifies PCB layout by eliminating routing conflicts and reduces parasitic capacitance in high-frequency signal paths.
Can MMBZ5228BLT1H replace older MMBZ5228BLT1 devices?
Yes-MMBZ5228BLT1H is a direct revision upgrade of MMBZ5228BLT1, sharing identical electrical specifications, SOT-23 package dimensions, and pinout. The "H" suffix denotes updated packaging and RoHS compliance; no design changes or layout modifications are required for drop-in replacement.
What is the maximum continuous reverse current MMBZ5228BLT1H can handle?
At 25°C ambient on an FR-5 board, MMBZ5228BLT1H supports up to 57.7 mA continuous reverse current (calculated as 225 mW ÷ 3.9 V) before reaching its 225 mW power limit. Derating is required above 25°C at 1.8 mW/°C, reducing usable current linearly with rising temperature.
Is MMBZ5228BLT1H suitable for automotive applications?
MMBZ5228BLT1H is not AEC-Q101 qualified; however, its sister part SZMMBZ5228BLT1G is fully qualified and pin-compatible. For automotive designs requiring formal qualification, SZMMBZ5228BLT1G must be used-MMBZ5228BLT1H remains appropriate for non-safety-critical industrial or consumer applications demanding identical electrical behavior.
