Product details
Overview
MMSZ10ET1 from onsemi is a 10 V, ±5% tolerance Zener diode in SOD-123 package, rated for 500 mW power dissipation at 75 °C on FR-5 board, with 20 Ω dynamic impedance at 5 mA test current and 0.2 µA reverse leakage at 7.6 V, used for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in low-power analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MMSZ10ET1 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal derating behavior, cathode/anode polarity mapping, automotive-grade AEC-Q101 qualification status, and direct alternatives with documented Zener voltage and impedance differences.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference by maintaining a stable reverse breakdown voltage across its terminals under controlled Zener current. It exhibits a nominal temperature coefficient of +4.5 mV/°C near 10 V, enabling predictable drift compensation in temperature-sensitive designs.
The MMSZ10ET1 supports pulsed operation up to 225 W (8 × 20 µs waveform) and meets Class 3 ESD immunity (>16 kV HBM), making it suitable for transient-prone industrial sensor interfaces and automotive body electronics where robustness and compact size are critical.

Applications
| Power Supply Monitoring | Overvoltage Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Monitoring 12 V automotive battery rail for brown-out or overvoltage conditions in microcontroller-based modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener diode provides clamped reference voltage to comparator input for threshold detection. Use Value: 10 V nominal breakdown enables precise 12 V system supervision with margin for ripple and transients. |
Use Scenario: Protecting ADC input of an industrial sensor interface from accidental 24 V miswiring. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Acts as shunt clamp to divert excess current when input exceeds safe range. Use Value: 20 Ω ZZT ensures low-voltage clamping (<10.5 V) before downstream IC damage occurs. |
| Reference Voltage Source | Signal Level Translation |
Use Scenario: Generating stable 10 V reference for op-amp based precision current source in medical instrumentation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides fixed reverse-bias voltage to set feedback loop gain and offset. Use Value: ±5% tolerance and +4.5 mV/°C TC allow predictable error budgeting across −40 °C to +85 °C. |
Use Scenario: Biasing logic-level translators between 3.3 V and 5 V domains in embedded communication interfaces. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Sets intermediate voltage threshold to enable bidirectional level shifting. Use Value: Low 0.2 µA leakage avoids loading high-impedance translator inputs while maintaining fast edge response. |
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-C10 | Same 10 V nominal Zener, but 350 mW rating and higher ZZT (30 Ω), SOT-23 package | Lower power handling and larger footprint than SOD-123; less suitable for high-density layouts | Select BZX84-C10 only if SOT-23 compatibility is required and thermal margin allows reduced PD |
| MMSZ10ET1G | Identical electrical specs and SOD-123 package; "G" suffix denotes Pb-free compliance per JESD97 | No functional difference; "G" version replaces legacy MMSZ10ET1 in new designs per RoHS mandates | MMSZ10ET1G is the recommended drop-in replacement for MMSZ10ET1 in all new production |
Compared with BZX84-C10, MMSZ10ET1 offers 43% higher power rating and tighter impedance for improved regulation stability; versus MMSZ10ET1G, it shares identical performance but lacks Pb-free marking-critical for export compliance and long-term supply continuity.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of MMSZ10ET1?
The MMSZ10ET1 has a nominal Zener voltage of 10 V with a tolerance of ±5%, meaning the actual measured VZ falls between 9.5 V and 10.5 V when tested at IZT = 5 mA and TA = 25 °C. This tolerance is specified per onsemi's datasheet revision 8 and applies across the full operating temperature range.
Is MMSZ10ET1 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, MMSZ10ET1 is AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, confirming its suitability for automotive electronic systems including body control modules, lighting drivers, and sensor interfaces. The qualification covers stress tests for temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical shock per AEC standards.
What is the maximum power dissipation for MMSZ10ET1 on a standard PCB?
MMSZ10ET1 is rated for 500 mW total power dissipation on FR-5 board at lead temperature (TL) = 75 °C, derating linearly at 6.7 mW/°C above that point. Its thermal resistance junction-to-ambient is 340 °C/W, so ambient temperature must be limited to ensure junction temperature stays within −55 °C to +150 °C.
How does the dynamic impedance of MMSZ10ET1 affect voltage regulation?
The MMSZ10ET1 has a maximum dynamic impedance (ZZT) of 20 Ω at IZT = 5 mA. This value determines how much the output voltage varies with changes in Zener current-lower ZZT yields tighter regulation. For example, a 1 mA current shift causes ≤20 mV deviation in regulated voltage.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for MMSZ10ET1?
MMSZ10ET1 specifies a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 0.2 µA at VR = 7.6 V and TA = 25 °C. This low leakage ensures minimal parasitic current draw in battery-backed or ultra-low-power circuits where standby consumption must remain below 1 µA.
