Product details
Overview
MMBZ5243ELT1G from onsemi is a 13 V, 225 mW surface-mount Zener diode in SOT-23 package, with 9.5 mA test current (IZT), 13 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT), and 0.5 μA leakage current at 9.9 V reverse bias. It provides precision voltage regulation in space-constrained power rails for portable electronics and high-density PCBs.
For engineers reviewing the MMBZ5243ELT1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±5% nominal), thermal resistance (556 °C/W on FR-5), ESD rating (>16 kV HBM), and NC pin isolation in the SOT-23 footprint.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference using avalanche breakdown in silicon PN junction. Its 13 V nominal Zener voltage falls within the positive temperature coefficient range above 5 V, ensuring stable regulation across −65°C to +150°C junction temperatures.
The SOT-23 package features Pin 1 (Anode), Pin 2 (No Connection), and Pin 3 (Cathode), with polarity indicated by a band on the cathode side. Peak pulse power handling reaches 225 W (8 × 20 μs), supporting transient overvoltage clamping in low-energy protection circuits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 12.35–13.65 V @ IZT = 9.5 mA - defines regulated output voltage window under standard test conditions |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 225 mW on FR-5 board @ TA = 25°C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling in typical PCB layout |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 13 Ω @ IZT = 9.5 mA - determines output voltage deviation under load current variation |
| Leakage Current (IR) | 0.5 μA @ VR = 9.9 V - specifies off-state conduction level below breakdown threshold |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV) per Human Body Model - ensures robustness during automated assembly and field handling |
| Junction Temperature Range | −65°C to +150°C - supports operation in automotive under-hood and industrial environments |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23 (TO-236) package: 2.90 mm × 1.30 mm × 1.00 mm body, Pb-free, void-free thermosetting plastic case with corrosion-resistant finish. Cathode identified by polarity band.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode | Connected to lower-potential side of regulated rail; reverse-biased during Zener operation |
| 2 | No Connection | Internally isolated terminal; must remain unconnected on PCB to avoid parasitic coupling |
| 3 | Cathode | Connected to higher-potential side; polarity band marks this terminal for orientation verification |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C13LT1G | 13 V ±5%, 300 mW rating, same SOT-23 package but 20 mA IZT, 30 Ω ZZT | Higher power margin but looser impedance control; less suitable for precision feedback loops | Select when higher continuous power headroom is needed and 30 Ω ZZT is acceptable |
| MMBZ5243BS | Same electrical specs but SOD-123 package (3.7 × 1.6 × 1.1 mm); no NC pin | Larger footprint, no unused terminal - better for manual rework but occupies 2.5× more board area | Select when SOD-123 compatibility is required or NC pin routing poses layout constraints |
Compared with MMBZ5243ELT1G, BZX84-C13LT1G trades tighter Zener impedance for higher power, while MMBZ5243BS eliminates the NC pin at the cost of increased PCB real estate - both require validation of thermal derating and layout impact in high-density designs.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of MMBZ5243ELT1G?
The MMBZ5243ELT1G has a Zener voltage range of 12.35 V to 13.65 V at IZT = 9.5 mA, corresponding to ±5% tolerance around the nominal 13 V rating. This tolerance is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range and reflects manufacturing process control, not test condition variance.
Does MMBZ5243ELT1G have a functional third pin?
No - Pin 2 of the MMBZ5243ELT1G is explicitly designated "No Connection" in the datasheet and mechanical drawings. It is internally isolated and must remain unconnected on the PCB; routing or soldering to this terminal may cause unpredictable leakage or thermal behavior.
Can MMBZ5243ELT1G be used for transient voltage suppression?
Yes - the MMBZ5243ELT1G supports 225 W peak pulse power (8 × 20 μs), making it suitable for low-energy transient clamping such as EFT and minor load dump events. However, it is not rated for high-energy surges like lightning or AC line transients, where dedicated TVS diodes are preferred.
What is the thermal resistance of MMBZ5243ELT1G on standard FR-5 PCB?
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RJA) of MMBZ5243ELT1G is 556 °C/W when mounted on an FR-5 board per the datasheet's defined test board (1.0 × 0.75 × 0.62 in). This value assumes no copper pour or thermal vias; adding 1 cm² of 2 oz copper on layer 2 reduces RJA by ~120 °C/W.
Is MMBZ5243ELT1G compliant with automotive qualification standards?
No - MMBZ5243ELT1G is not AEC-Q101 qualified. For automotive applications, the SZMMBZ5243ELT1G variant (same electrical specs, marked with "SZ" prefix) is AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, with controlled manufacturing site and change management per automotive requirements.
