Product details
Overview
MMBZ5230ELT1G from onsemi is a 4.7 V ±5% Zener diode in SOT-23 package, rated for 225 mW power dissipation at 25°C, with 19 Ω dynamic impedance at 20 mA test current and 0.25 μA leakage at 2 V reverse bias. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in low-power portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the MMBZ5230ELT1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this device is selected for space-constrained regulation where stable 4.7 V reference, low leakage, and high ESD tolerance (>16 kV HBM) are required in battery-powered systems.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with nominal Zener voltage of 4.7 V at 20 mA test current (IZT), exhibiting temperature coefficient near zero (±2 mV/°C typical in 4.3–4.9 V range). Its 19 Ω Zener impedance ensures tight regulation under varying load conditions.
The SOT-23 package features Pin 1 = Anode, Pin 2 = No Connection, Pin 3 = Cathode; thermal resistance is 556 °C/W on FR-5 board. It meets AEC-Q101 stress requirements when ordered as SZ variant and supports Pb-free reflow soldering up to 260°C for 10 seconds.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 4.7 V nominal, 4.46–4.94 V min/max at IZT = 20 mA - defines stable regulation point for reference or clamping circuits |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 225 mW at TA = 25°C, derated 1.8 mW/°C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling on standard PCB |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 19 Ω max at IZT = 20 mA - determines output voltage variation under load transients |
| Leakage Current (IR) | 0.25 μA max at VR = 2 V - ensures minimal standby current in battery-critical applications |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV) per Human Body Model - enables robust handling in manual assembly and end-user environments |
| Package | SOT-23 (TO-236), 2.90 × 1.30 × 1.00 mm - supports automated placement and high-density routing on compact PCBs |
| Junction Temp Range | −65°C to +150°C - allows operation in extended industrial and automotive ambient conditions |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23 plastic surface-mount package with void-free thermosetting case, corrosion-resistant finish, and cathode polarity band. Maximum soldering temperature: 260°C for 10 seconds. Flammability rating: UL 94 V-0.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode | Connected to lower-potential node in reverse-bias configuration; must be held at voltage ≤ VZ − 0.95 V during forward conduction |
| 2 | No Connection | Internally unconnected; no PCB trace or pad required - eliminates routing conflict and reduces layout complexity |
| 3 | Cathode | Connected to regulated or clamped node; polarity band on package identifies this terminal for correct orientation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 225 mW Power Rating on FR-5 Board | Enables use in space-limited consumer devices without external heat sinking or derating penalties |
| ESD Robustness >16 kV (HBM) | Reduces need for external ESD protection in handheld interfaces and exposed I/O lines |
| Pb-Free and RoHS Compliant | Meets global environmental compliance mandates without requiring process change in lead-free reflow lines |
| Peak Pulse Power: 225 W (8 × 20 µs) | Provides transient overvoltage suppression capability for EFT and surge events in portable power rails |
| Low Leakage: 0.25 µA @ 2 V | Minimizes quiescent current draw in always-on battery monitoring or wake-up circuits |
Applications

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-C4V7LT1G | Same 4.7 V nominal, but 350 mW rating and 90 Ω ZZT at 5 mA - higher power, lower regulation precision | Preferred where higher surge energy absorption is needed, but less suitable for low-current reference use | Select when board layout allows larger thermal mass and regulation stability at <5 mA is acceptable |
| MMBZ5230BS | Same electrical specs but in SOD-323 package - 1.7 × 1.25 × 0.95 mm vs. SOT-23's 2.9 × 1.3 × 1.0 mm | Better suited for ultra-high-density layouts where footprint area is more constrained than height | Choose when PCB real estate is critical and pick-and-place compatibility with smaller 0201-class feeders exists |
Compared with BZX84-C4V7LT1G and MMBZ5230BS, the MMBZ5230ELT1G delivers optimal balance of regulation accuracy (19 Ω ZZT), low-leakage performance, and SOT-23 manufacturability - making it preferred for mid-volume portable designs requiring repeatable 4.7 V reference behavior.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of MMBZ5230ELT1G?
The MMBZ5230ELT1G has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±5% around its nominal 4.7 V rating, meaning the actual measured VZ falls between 4.46 V and 4.94 V when tested at IZT = 20 mA and TA = 25°C. This tolerance is guaranteed per onsemi's Electrical Characteristics table and applies to all units shipped under this part number.
Is MMBZ5230ELT1G suitable for automotive applications?
The standard MMBZ5230ELT1G is not AEC-Q101 qualified; however, the SZMMBZ5230ELT1G variant - identical in electrical and mechanical specs but with automotive-grade traceability and PPAP documentation - is certified for automotive use. Engineers must specify the SZ prefix for automotive programs requiring qualification evidence.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for MMBZ5230ELT1G at 2 V?
The maximum reverse leakage current for MMBZ5230ELT1G is 0.25 μA when biased at VR = 2 V and measured at TA = 25°C. This value is specified in the Electrical Characteristics table and reflects worst-case leakage across the production lot, ensuring predictable standby power consumption in battery-operated systems using the MMBZ5230ELT1G.
Does MMBZ5230ELT1G have a connected pin 2?
No, pin 2 of the MMBZ5230ELT1G is internally not connected (NC). The device uses only pins 1 (Anode) and 3 (Cathode) for electrical operation. This NC configuration simplifies PCB layout by eliminating the need for routing or thermal relief on pin 2, and is explicitly confirmed in the datasheet's pinout diagram (Style 8) and marking information.
Can MMBZ5230ELT1G replace MMBZ5230B?
Yes, MMBZ5230ELT1G is a direct replacement for MMBZ5230B in most applications: both share identical Zener voltage (4.7 V), power rating (225 mW), SOT-23 package, and pinout (1-Anode, 2-NC, 3-Cathode). The "E" suffix denotes enhanced reliability screening, and "LT1G" indicates Pb-free tape-and-reel packaging - confirming functional and mechanical compatibility with the legacy MMBZ5230B.
