Product details
Overview
MMBZ5233BLT1 from onsemi is a 225 mW, 6.0 V nominal Zener voltage regulator diode in SOT-23 package, designed for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in space-constrained applications such as portable electronics power rails and I/O line clamping. It features 7 Ω dynamic impedance at 20 mA test current, 0.25 µA leakage at 3.5 V reverse bias, and ESD rating >16 kV (HBM).
For engineers reviewing the MMBZ5233BLT1 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, validated SOT-23 terminal mapping, real-world use cases in battery-powered systems, and two confirmed alternative Zeners with documented voltage and impedance differences.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference where reverse-biased conduction begins near its nominal 6.0 V Zener voltage, with tight tolerance (±5%: 5.7–6.3 V) and low dynamic impedance (7 Ω @ IZT = 20 mA). Its thermal resistance is 556 °C/W on FR-5 board, enabling stable regulation up to +150 °C junction temperature.
The SOT-23 package uses Style 8 pinout (Pin 1: Anode, Pin 2: No Connection, Pin 3: Cathode), with cathode polarity marked by a band. It meets AEC-Q101 requirements only in SZ-prefix variants; MMBZ5233BLT1 is industrial-grade, Pb-free, RoHS-compliant, and rated for 260 °C soldering (10 s).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 5.7–6.3 V (nominal 6.0 V @ IZT = 20 mA); defines precise clamping threshold for 5 V logic rail protection |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 7 Ω @ IZT = 20 mA; ensures minimal voltage deviation under load transients |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 225 mW on FR-5 board; supports continuous regulation in compact PCB layouts without heatsinking |
| Leakage Current (IR) | 0.25 µA @ VR = 3.5 V; guarantees negligible standby current in battery-critical circuits |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV HBM); enables direct integration into handheld device I/O ports without external ESD protection |
| Junction Temperature Range | −65 °C to +150 °C; suitable for automotive cabin and industrial ambient environments |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23 (TO-236) package, 2.90 × 1.30 × 1.00 mm, void-free thermosetting plastic case with corrosion-resistant finish; cathode indicated by polarity band.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Anode | Connected to lower-potential node (e.g., GND or signal return); required for correct reverse-bias orientation |
| Pin 2 | No Connection | Internally unconnected; must remain floating-no PCB trace or pad should attach |
| Pin 3 | Cathode | Connected to regulated node (e.g., 5 V rail); polarity band aligns with this terminal |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 225 mW power rating on FR-5 | Enables voltage clamping in high-density portable PCBs without thermal derating concerns below 70 °C ambient |
| 7 Ω Zener impedance @ 20 mA | Delivers < ±0.14 V regulation shift across 0–20 mA load variation-critical for ADC reference stability |
| ESD robustness >16 kV (HBM) | Eliminates need for discrete TVS diodes on USB/UART lines in consumer wearables and IoT sensors |
| Pb-free, Halogen-free, RoHS-compliant | Meets global environmental compliance mandates for medical and industrial end-equipment without requalification |
Applications
| USB Data Line Protection | Microcontroller I/O Clamp |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5234BLT1G | Nominal VZ = 6.2 V (5.89–6.51 V), ZZT = 7 Ω @ 20 mA, leakage = 0.25 µA @ 4 V | Higher clamping threshold better suited for 5.5 V logic rails; identical package and footprint | Select when tighter upper bound (6.51 V) is required to avoid violating 6.0 V absolute max on downstream ICs |
| BZX84-C6V2LT1G | Nominal VZ = 6.2 V, ZZT = 10 Ω @ 5 mA, PD = 350 mW, leakage = 0.1 µA @ 4 V | Higher power rating allows higher surge current handling; different thermal profile due to 350 mW rating | Prefer for transient-heavy industrial I/O where 225 mW may be marginal; verify layout thermal relief compatibility |
Compared with MMBZ5233BLT1, MMBZ5234BLT1G offers a 0.2 V higher nominal Zener voltage with identical impedance and leakage, making it a direct functional substitute where margin above 6.0 V is acceptable; BZX84-C6V2LT1G trades lower impedance for higher power and lower leakage but requires validation of thermal performance in FR-5 layouts.

FAQ
What is the exact Zener voltage tolerance for MMBZ5233BLT1?
The MMBZ5233BLT1 has a guaranteed Zener voltage range of 5.7 V to 6.3 V at 20 mA test current (TA = 25°C), corresponding to ±5% tolerance around the nominal 6.0 V value. This tolerance remains valid across the full −65 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range per onsemi's Electrical Characteristics table.
Does MMBZ5233BLT1 have a built-in capacitor or is it purely a Zener diode?
MMBZ5233BLT1 is a discrete silicon Zener diode with no integrated capacitor. Its typical junction capacitance is ~50 pF at 0 V bias and ~15 pF at 50% of nominal VZ (3 V), as shown in Figure 5 of the datasheet-values consistent with standard planar Zener construction in SOT-23.
Can MMBZ5233BLT1 replace MMBZ5232BLT1G in an existing design?
Yes, MMBZ5233BLT1 can replace MMBZ5232BLT1G if the circuit requires 6.0 V clamping instead of 5.6 V. The devices share identical SOT-23 package, Style 8 pinout, 225 mW rating, and 7 Ω ZZT; only the Zener voltage differs (5.32–5.88 V vs. 5.7–6.3 V). No PCB changes are needed, but verify system margin against the higher clamping threshold.
Is MMBZ5233BLT1 qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive use?
No, MMBZ5233BLT1 is not AEC-Q101 qualified. Only the SZ-prefix variants (e.g., SZMMBZ5233BLT1G) carry AEC-Q101 qualification and PPAP capability. MMBZ5233BLT1 is rated for industrial temperature range and intended for commercial and portable applications-not under-hood automotive systems.
What is the forward voltage drop specification for MMBZ5233BLT1?
The forward voltage (VF) of MMBZ5233BLT1 is specified as ≤ 0.9 V at IF = 10 mA, per the Electrical Characteristics table. This value applies when the device is forward-biased-relevant for polarity-check circuits or dual-direction ESD protection configurations using back-to-back diodes.
