Product details
Overview
MMBZ5252ELT1G from onsemi is a 24 V ±5% Zener voltage regulator diode in SOT-23 package, rated for 225 mW power dissipation at 25°C, with 5.2 mA test current (IZT), 33 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT), and 0.1 μA leakage current at 18 V reverse bias - used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in portable power rails.
For engineers reviewing the MMBZ5252ELT1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal derating behavior, ESD robustness (Class 3, >16 kV HBM), and real-world use cases in space-constrained DC-DC feedback networks and battery protection circuits.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable voltage across its cathode-anode terminals under varying load and temperature conditions. Its 24 V nominal Zener voltage exhibits a positive temperature coefficient near zero crossing, minimizing drift in mid-voltage regulation applications.
The device features a no-connect (NC) terminal (Pin 2), enabling simplified PCB layout and compatibility with automated pick-and-place systems. Its 225 W peak pulse rating (8 × 20 µs) supports transient suppression without external clamping components.
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 tight regulation window for 24 V rail monitoring |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 225 mW on FR-5 board @ TA = 25°C, derated 1.8 mW/°C above - sets maximum continuous DC power in ambient-limited layouts |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 33 Ω @ IZT = 5.2 mA - determines output voltage variation under load current changes |
| Leakage Current (IR) | 0.1 μA @ VR = 18 V - ensures minimal standby current draw in always-on sensing nodes |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV) per Human Body Model - enables direct integration into handheld device front-end circuits without added ESD protection |
| Junction Temp Range | −65°C to +150°C - supports operation in automotive under-hood and industrial control environments |
Pinout & Package

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C24LT1G | Same 24 V nominal Zener, but 300 mW PD, higher IZT = 5 mA, ZZT = 70 Ω | Higher power handling suits higher-current shunt references; less precise regulation due to higher impedance | Select when thermal margin >225 mW is required and ±5% VZ tolerance remains acceptable |
| MMBZ5252BS | Same electrical specs, but SOD-123 package (3.7 mm × 1.6 mm), no NC pin, higher RJA = 625 °C/W | Larger footprint and lower power density limit use in ultra-thin mobile designs | Choose only if SOT-23 assembly infrastructure is unavailable and board area permits larger package |
Compared with BZX84-C24LT1G and MMBZ5252BS, the MMBZ5252ELT1G offers optimal balance of low-profile SOT-23 packaging, tight 24 V regulation, and Class 3 ESD robustness - making it preferred for space- and reliability-critical 24 V reference and clamping functions.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of MMBZ5252ELT1G at 25°C?
The MMBZ5252ELT1G has a Zener voltage range of 22.8 V (min) to 25.2 V (max) at IZT = 5.2 mA and TA = 25°C, yielding a nominal 24 V ±5% tolerance. This tight spread ensures predictable clamping behavior in feedback loops and overvoltage detection circuits without post-production calibration.
Does MMBZ5252ELT1G have a functional third pin?
No - Pin 2 of the MMBZ5252ELT1G is internally not connected (NC). The device operates as a two-terminal Zener diode between Pin 1 (Anode) and Pin 3 (Cathode). PCB layout must leave Pin 2 unconnected; routing or soldering to it may cause assembly defects or parametric failure.
Can MMBZ5252ELT1G be used in automotive applications?
The standard MMBZ5252ELT1G is not AEC-Q101 qualified, but its automotive-grade counterpart SZMMBZ5252ELT1G is fully qualified and PPAP-capable. For production automotive use, specify the SZ prefix version - it shares identical electrical specs but includes enhanced process controls and traceability required for vehicle ECUs.
What is the thermal resistance of MMBZ5252ELT1G on FR-5 board?
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RJA) of MMBZ5252ELT1G is 556 °C/W when mounted on FR-5 board per JEDEC standards. At 225 mW dissipation, this results in a ~125°C junction rise above ambient - confirming safe operation up to 25°C ambient, with linear derating applied above that temperature.
How does the leakage current of MMBZ5252ELT1G compare to similar 24 V Zeners?
MMBZ5252ELT1G specifies only 0.1 μA leakage current at VR = 18 V, which is significantly lower than typical 24 V Zeners (often 1–5 μA). This low leakage directly improves battery runtime in always-on monitoring circuits and reduces error in high-impedance reference networks where leakage injects offset.
