Product details
Overview
MMBZ5234ELT1 from onsemi is a 6.2 V ±5% Zener diode in SOT-23 package, rated for 225 mW power dissipation at 25°C, with 7 Ω dynamic impedance at 20 mA test current and 0.25 μA leakage current at 4 V reverse bias. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in low-power portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the MMBZ5234ELT1 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this device is selected for space-constrained regulation tasks requiring stable 6.2 V reference, ESD-hardened operation (>16 kV HBM), and compatibility with automated SMT assembly on FR-5 PCBs.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with a nominal Zener voltage of 6.2 V at 20 mA test current (IZT), exhibiting a temperature coefficient near zero (±2 mV/°C typical) in its 6.2 V range. Its 7 Ω Zener impedance (ZZT) ensures tight regulation under dynamic load changes.
The device features a defined three-terminal SOT-23 pinout: Pin 1 = Anode, Pin 2 = No Connection, Pin 3 = Cathode - enabling unambiguous orientation during placement. It meets AEC-Q101 requirements when ordered as SZ-prefix variants and supports Pb-free reflow up to 260°C for 10 seconds.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 6.2 V nominal (5.89–6.51 V min/max), stable reference point for feedback loops or threshold detection |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 225 mW on FR-5 board at 25°C - defines maximum continuous DC power handling without derating |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 7 Ω at IZT = 20 mA - low dynamic resistance enables minimal output voltage deviation under load transients |
| Leakage Current (IR) | 0.25 μA max at VR = 4 V - ensures negligible standby current in battery-powered circuits |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV) per Human Body Model - protects against common electrostatic discharge events in handheld assembly |
| Package | SOT-23 (TO-236), 2.90 × 1.30 × 1.00 mm - surface-mount footprint compatible with high-density PCB layouts |
| Junction Temp Range | −65°C to +150°C - supports operation in extended industrial and automotive ambient environments |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23 plastic surface-mount package (Case 318, Style 8), void-free thermosetting construction with corrosion-resistant finish and UL 94 V-0 flammability rating. Cathode indicated by polarity band.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode | Connected to lower-potential node; reverse-biased during Zener operation |
| 2 | No Connection | Internally unconnected; must remain floating - no PCB trace or pad required |
| 3 | Cathode | Connected to higher-potential node; defines regulated output reference point |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 225 mW Power Rating | Enables use in compact, low-power regulation without external heat sinking on standard FR-5 boards |
| 7 Ω Dynamic Impedance | Delivers <±10 mV output variation across 5–25 mA load current range in feedback applications |
| ESD Hardness >16 kV HBM | Eliminates need for discrete ESD protection in front-end voltage clamp stages of portable devices |
| Pb-Free & RoHS Compliant | Meets global environmental compliance requirements without sacrificing thermal or electrical performance |
| Automated Assembly Optimized | Standard SOT-23 footprint and marking support high-yield pick-and-place and AOI inspection |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C6V2 | Same 6.2 V nominal, but 350 mW rating and 10 Ω ZZT; SOT-23 package with identical pinout (Anode-NC-Cathode) | Higher power handling suits intermittent surge clamping; higher impedance reduces regulation precision | Select BZX84-C6V2 when peak pulse energy exceeds 225 mW but tighter DC regulation is not required |
| MMBZ5234BS | Same electrical specs, but in SOD-323 (SC-76) package - 1.7 × 1.25 × 0.95 mm vs. SOT-23's 2.9 × 1.3 × 1.0 mm | Smaller footprint saves area but limits thermal mass and manual rework accessibility | Select MMBZ5234BS only when board area is constrained below 3.0 mm² and thermal margin remains ≥15°C |
Compared with BZX84-C6V2 and MMBZ5234BS, the MMBZ5234ELT1 delivers optimal balance of regulation precision (7 Ω ZZT), ESD robustness (>16 kV), and manufacturability in standard SOT-23 assembly lines - making it preferred for high-volume portable electronics where repeatable yield and long-term stability are critical.

FAQ
What is the exact Zener voltage tolerance for MMBZ5234ELT1?
The MMBZ5234ELT1 has a guaranteed Zener voltage range of 5.89 V (min) to 6.51 V (max) at 20 mA test current and 25°C ambient, corresponding to ±5% tolerance around the 6.2 V nominal value. This tolerance is validated per onsemi's production testing and applies to all units shipped under this part number.
Does MMBZ5234ELT1 have a functional connection on Pin 2?
No - Pin 2 of the MMBZ5234ELT1 is internally unconnected (NC), as confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table and Mechanical Outline documentation. PCB layout must leave Pin 2 floating; no trace, pad, or solder mask opening is required for this terminal.
Can MMBZ5234ELT1 be used in automotive applications?
The base MMBZ5234ELT1 is not AEC-Q101 qualified; however, the SZMMBZ5234ELT1G variant - identical electrically and mechanically but with automotive-grade process controls and PPAP documentation - is certified for automotive use. Always specify the SZ prefix for automotive deployments.
What is the maximum allowable soldering temperature for MMBZ5234ELT1?
The MMBZ5234ELT1 supports lead-free reflow soldering up to 260°C for 10 seconds maximum, as specified in the Mechanical Characteristics section. Exceeding this temperature or duration risks internal bond wire failure or package delamination, compromising long-term reliability.
How does the 7 Ω Zener impedance of MMBZ5234ELT1 affect regulation accuracy?
The 7 Ω Zener impedance (ZZT) of MMBZ5234ELT1 means that for every 1 mA change in Zener current, the output voltage shifts by approximately 7 mV. In practical terms, this enables ±14 mV regulation window across a 2–4 mA operating range - sufficient for non-critical biasing and clamping where ±0.2% absolute accuracy is not required.
