Product details
Overview
MMBZ5237BLT1H from onsemi is a 225 mW surface-mount Zener diode in SOT-23 package, rated for 8.2 V nominal Zener voltage at 20 mA test current, with 500 Ω maximum dynamic impedance and ±3% voltage tolerance. It provides precision voltage regulation in space-constrained power management circuits such as portable device battery protection and low-voltage reference generation.
For engineers reviewing the MMBZ5237BLT1H datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy (7.79–8.61 V), thermal resistance (556 °C/W on FR-5 board), ESD robustness (>16 kV HBM), and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference, conducting in reverse breakdown to clamp voltage across its cathode-anode terminals. Its Zener voltage exhibits a positive temperature coefficient near 8.2 V (≈+3.5 mV/°C), enabling stable regulation over −65°C to +150°C junction temperature range.
The SOT-23 package features a no-connect (NC) terminal (Pin 2), simplifying PCB layout while maintaining mechanical robustness and automated assembly compatibility. Thermal performance is specified for both FR-5 board (225 mW @ 25°C) and alumina substrate (300 mW @ 25°C), supporting diverse thermal environments.
Key Specifications

FAQ
What is the exact Zener voltage range for MMBZ5237BLT1H?
The MMBZ5237BLT1H has a guaranteed Zener voltage range of 7.79 V to 8.61 V at a test current of 20 mA, with a nominal value of 8.2 V. This ±3% tolerance is measured per the datasheet's defined conditions (TA = 25°C, pulse test), and the device maintains regulation within this band across its specified operating temperature range.
Is MMBZ5237BLT1H pin-compatible with other SOT-23 Zener diodes?
Yes, MMBZ5237BLT1H uses the standard SOT-23 pinout: Pin 1 = Anode, Pin 2 = No Connection, Pin 3 = Cathode. This matches industry-standard Zeners like BZX84-C8V2LT1G and MMBZ5237BLT1G, enabling direct PCB footprint reuse - provided the NC pin remains unconnected in layout.
Does MMBZ5237BLT1H meet automotive reliability standards?
Yes, MMBZ5237BLT1H is AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, confirming its suitability for automotive applications including body electronics and infotainment systems. It undergoes stress testing for temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical shock per the AEC standard.
What is the maximum power dissipation of MMBZ5237BLT1H on a standard PCB?
MMBZ5237BLT1H delivers 225 mW maximum power dissipation on FR-5 board at 25°C ambient, derating linearly at 1.8 mW/°C above that temperature. On alumina substrate, it supports up to 300 mW at 25°C, making thermal design dependent on board material and copper area.
How does the ESD rating of MMBZ5237BLT1H impact system-level design?
With Class 3 Human Body Model ESD rating (>16 kV), MMBZ5237BLT1H provides intrinsic protection against handling and assembly discharges. This reduces or eliminates the need for external TVS diodes in low-energy signal paths, simplifying BOM and saving board space in portable and wearable designs.
