Product details
Overview
MMBZ5232ELT1G from onsemi is a 5.6 V ±5% Zener voltage regulator diode in SOT-23 package, rated for 225 mW power dissipation at 25°C, with 11 Ω dynamic impedance at 20 mA test current and 0.25 μA leakage current at 3 V reverse bias. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in low-power portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the MMBZ5232ELT1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this device is selected for space-constrained, low-current regulation tasks where stable 5.6 V reference, ESD robustness (>16 kV HBM), and Pb-free compliance are required.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain a stable voltage across its cathode-anode terminals. Its nominal 5.6 V Zener voltage is specified at 20 mA test current (IZT), with temperature coefficient near zero - typical for mid-voltage Zeners in the 5–6 V range - minimizing drift over −65°C to +150°C junction temperature.
The SOT-23 package features Pin 1 (Anode), Pin 2 (No Connection), and Pin 3 (Cathode), enabling unidirectional clamping or shunt regulation. With 1600 Ω maximum impedance at knee current (IZK = 0.25 mA) and 11 Ω at IZT, it supports both precision reference and transient suppression roles in low-power signal paths.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 5.32–5.88 V @ 20 mA - defines regulated output voltage tolerance band for reference or clamp design |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 225 mW on FR-5 board @ 25°C - sets max continuous DC power handling before thermal derating |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 11 Ω @ 20 mA - indicates low AC impedance for stable regulation under small-signal load variation |
| Leakage Current (IR) | 0.25 μA @ 3 V - ensures minimal parasitic current draw in standby or high-impedance bias networks |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV HBM) - enables direct integration into handheld devices without external ESD protection |
| Junction Temp Range | −65°C to +150°C - supports operation in automotive under-hood or industrial ambient environments |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23 (TO-236) surface-mount plastic package, 2.90 × 1.30 × 1.00 mm, void-free thermosetting case with corrosion-resistant finish; polarity indicated by cathode band; Pb-free and RoHS compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Anode) | Anode connection | Connected to lower-potential node in reverse-bias configuration; carries forward current when used as rectifier |
| 2 (NC) | No connection | Internally unconnected; must remain floating - no PCB trace or pad tie required |
| 3 (Cathode) | Cathode connection | Connected to higher-potential node in Zener mode; defines regulated voltage reference point |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 225 mW power rating on FR-5 board | Enables use in compact PCB layouts without heatsinking for low-duty-cycle or intermittent regulation |
| ESD robustness >16 kV (HBM) | Reduces need for external TVS or ESD protection in consumer portables and wearables |
| Small SOT-23 footprint | Supports ≥2× higher component density vs. DO-35 or SOD-123 in battery-powered PCBs |
| Pb-free and RoHS-compliant | Meets global environmental compliance requirements for commercial and industrial end equipment |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C5V6LT1G | Same 5.6 V nominal Zener, but 300 mW rating and 40 Ω ZZT @ 5 mA - higher power, higher impedance | Better suited for higher-current regulation; less precise at low currents due to higher ZZK | Select when >200 mW continuous dissipation or higher surge margin is needed; verify layout thermal relief. |
| MMBZ5232BS | Same electrical specs but in SOD-323 package - 1.7 × 1.25 mm vs. SOT-23's 2.9 × 1.3 mm | Smaller footprint but lower power handling (200 mW); not drop-in due to different pad layout and thermal mass | Choose for ultra-high-density designs where 0.25 mm height reduction and 30% smaller area justify requalification. |
Compared with BZX84-C5V6LT1G and MMBZ5232BS, the MMBZ5232ELT1G offers optimal balance of low dynamic impedance (11 Ω), industry-standard SOT-23 compatibility, and certified ESD robustness - making it preferred for production-grade portable and industrial control designs requiring repeatable 5.6 V clamping performance.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of MMBZ5232ELT1G?
The MMBZ5232ELT1G has a Zener voltage range of 5.32 V (min) to 5.88 V (max) at 20 mA test current, corresponding to a ±5% tolerance around the nominal 5.6 V value. This tolerance is guaranteed across operating temperatures and is verified per onsemi's production testing protocol.
Does MMBZ5232ELT1G have a built-in ESD protection rating?
Yes, the MMBZ5232ELT1G is rated Class 3 per Human Body Model (HBM) with >16 kV ESD withstand capability. This specification is validated per JEDEC JS-001 and allows direct integration into handheld and wearable devices without additional ESD components.
What is the thermal resistance (RJA) of MMBZ5232ELT1G on FR-5 board?
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of MMBZ5232ELT1G is 556°C/W when mounted on FR-5 board per standard JEDEC test conditions. This value determines the temperature rise above ambient at a given power dissipation - e.g., 225 mW yields ~125°C rise at 25°C ambient.
Is Pin 2 of MMBZ5232ELT1G electrically connected internally?
No, Pin 2 of the MMBZ5232ELT1G is a no-connect (NC) terminal - it is not bonded to any internal die structure and must remain unconnected on the PCB. The device functions identically whether Pin 2 is left floating or omitted from the footprint.
Can MMBZ5232ELT1G be used as a forward-biased diode?
Yes, the MMBZ5232ELT1G exhibits a forward voltage of ≤0.9 V at 10 mA forward current, allowing use as a general-purpose low-leakage switching or protection diode. However, its optimized design targets reverse-bias Zener operation - forward characteristics are secondary and not production-tested for switching speed or recovery.
