Product details
Overview
MMBZ5252BLT1 from onsemi is a 24 V ±5% Zener diode in SOT-23 package, rated for 225 mW power dissipation on FR-5 board, with 5.2 mA test current, 33 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, and 0.1 μA leakage at 18 V reverse bias. It provides precision voltage regulation in space-constrained portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the MMBZ5252BLT1 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal derating behavior, ESD robustness (Class 3, >16 kV HBM), and validated alternative options for voltage reference and overvoltage protection designs.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference diode with cathode-anode polarity, requiring no external biasing circuitry. Its Zener breakdown mechanism delivers stable reverse conduction at nominal 24 V with ±5% tolerance across production lots and temperature range −65°C to +150°C.
Thermal performance is defined by 556°C/W junction-to-ambient resistance on FR-5 board, enabling predictable derating to 1.8 mW/°C above 25°C ambient. The SOT-23 package supports automated placement and reflow soldering up to 260°C for 10 seconds without damage.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 22.8 V min / 24 V nom / 25.2 V max @ IZT = 5.2 mA - defines regulated output voltage window under standard test conditions |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 225 mW @ TA = 25°C on FR-5 board - sets maximum continuous DC power handling before thermal shutdown risk |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 33 Ω max @ IZT = 5.2 mA - determines AC voltage regulation stability under varying load currents |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.1 μA max @ VR = 18 V - ensures minimal standby current in undervoltage clamp configurations |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV) per Human Body Model - guarantees survivability during manual handling and board assembly |

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of MMBZ5252BLT1?
The MMBZ5252BLT1 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±5% around its nominal 24 V rating, meaning the actual measured VZ falls between 22.8 V and 25.2 V at IZT = 5.2 mA and TA = 25°C. This tolerance remains valid across the full operating temperature range of −65°C to +150°C as confirmed in the onsemi datasheet Electrical Characteristics table.
Does MMBZ5252BLT1 support automated PCB assembly?
Yes, MMBZ5252BLT1 uses the SOT-23 package optimized for automated board assembly, with a 2.90 mm × 1.30 mm footprint and lead pitch of 1.90 mm. It withstands standard reflow profiles up to 260°C for 10 seconds, and its corrosion-resistant finish ensures reliable solder wetting on FR-4 and FR-5 substrates - all explicitly stated in the Mechanical Characteristics section of the MMBZ5252BLT1 datasheet.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for MMBZ5252BLT1?
The maximum reverse leakage current for MMBZ5252BLT1 is 0.1 μA at VR = 18 V and TA = 25°C, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This low leakage enables reliable use in high-impedance reference circuits and battery-backed systems where standby current must be minimized without sacrificing regulation accuracy.
Is MMBZ5252BLT1 RoHS compliant?
Yes, MMBZ5252BLT1 is RoHS compliant, Pb-free, and halogen-free/BFR-free as confirmed in the Features section of the official onsemi datasheet. The "M" in the marking diagram denotes Pb-free packaging, and the device meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU requirements without requiring additional compliance documentation beyond standard onsemi declarations.
How does thermal derating work for MMBZ5252BLT1 on FR-5 board?
MMBZ5252BLT1 is rated for 225 mW total power dissipation at TA = 25°C on FR-5 board, with linear derating of 1.8 mW/°C above that temperature. This means at 65°C ambient, maximum allowable power drops to 225 mW − (40°C × 1.8 mW/°C) = 153 mW - a value directly extractable from the Maximum Ratings table in the MMBZ5252BLT1 datasheet.
