Overview
MMSZ13T1G from onsemi is a 13 V ±5% Zener diode in SOD−123 package, rated for 500 mW power dissipation at 75°C ambient, with 30 Ω dynamic impedance at 5 mA test current and 0.1 μA reverse leakage at 10.4 V, used for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in low-power analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MMSZ13T1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal derating behavior, AEC−Q101 qualification status, ESD robustness (Class 3, >16 kV HBM), and direct alternative part comparisons for automotive and industrial design-in.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference diode, conducting in reverse breakdown to clamp voltage at nominal 13 V with ±5% tolerance. Its 30 Ω Zener impedance at IZT = 5 mA ensures stable regulation under moderate load transients.
Thermal performance is defined by RJA = 340°C/W and RJL = 150°C/W, supporting operation from −55°C to +150°C junction temperature. It meets AEC−Q101 for automotive use and carries Class 3 ESD rating per HBM.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 12.35 V min / 13.0 V nom / 13.65 V max at IZT = 5 mA - defines precise clamping threshold for 13 V rail stabilization |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 500 mW on FR−5 board at TL = 75°C - sets maximum continuous power handling before thermal derating |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 30 Ω max at IZT = 5 mA - determines output voltage variation under changing load current |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.1 μA max at VR = 10.4 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in standby or high-impedance bias networks |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 0.9 V max at IF = 10 mA - confirms low-loss forward conduction when used in dual-direction protection schemes |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV) per Human Body Model - validates robustness against electrostatic discharge during handling and assembly |
| Junction Temp Range | −55°C to +150°C - enables deployment in under-hood automotive, industrial control, and outdoor electronics |

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-C13 | Same 13 V nominal Zener voltage, but SOT-23 package (larger footprint, higher RJA = 375°C/W), 400 mW rating | Less suitable for high-density automotive PCBs; lower power margin in thermally constrained layouts | Select when legacy SOT-23 footprint compatibility is required and thermal headroom exceeds 50 mW |

FAQ
What is the nominal Zener voltage and tolerance of MMSZ13T1G?
MMSZ13T1G has a nominal Zener voltage of 13.0 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%, meaning its actual breakdown voltage falls between 12.35 V and 13.65 V when tested at IZT = 5 mA and TA = 25°C. This tight tolerance supports precision regulation in feedback loops and reference circuits where voltage accuracy directly impacts system performance.
Is MMSZ13T1G qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, MMSZ13T1G is AEC−Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, confirming its suitability for automotive applications such as engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS sensor interfaces. The device undergoes stress testing for temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical shock to ensure long-term reliability in harsh vehicle environments.
What is the maximum power dissipation and thermal derating behavior of MMSZ13T1G?
MMSZ13T1G delivers 500 mW 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 values-RJA = 340°C/W and RJL = 150°C/W-enable reliable operation up to +150°C junction temperature when properly mounted on standard PCBs.
Does MMSZ13T1G have ESD protection, and what level is specified?
MMSZ13T1G features an ESD rating of Class 3 (>16 kV) per the Human Body Model (HBM), verified per JESD22-A114. This high-level ESD robustness eliminates the need for additional protection components in many I/O and bias network applications, reducing design complexity and improving manufacturing yield.
What package type and marking does MMSZ13T1G use?
MMSZ13T1G uses the SOD−123 surface-mount package (Case 425, 1.60 × 2.69 × 1.16 mm) with cathode indicated by a polarity band. Its marking code is "A4", visible on the device body, and the "G" suffix denotes Pb−free (RoHS-compliant) construction per onsemi's standard packaging protocol.
