Product details
Overview
MMSZ15T1H from ON Semiconductor is a 15 V, ±5% tolerance Zener diode in SOD−123 package, rated for 500 mW power dissipation at 75°C on FR−5 board, with 30 Ω dynamic impedance at 5 mA and 0.05 µA reverse leakage at 10.5 V, used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in low-power analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MMSZ15T1H datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, thermal derating behavior, junction-to-lead thermal resistance (150 °C/W), ESD robustness (>16 kV HBM), and AEC−Q101 qualification status for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage regulator by maintaining a stable reverse breakdown voltage across its cathode–anode terminals under controlled Zener current (IZT = 5 mA). Its 15 V nominal Zener voltage exhibits a positive temperature coefficient near zero crossing, minimizing drift over −55°C to +150°C operating range.
The SOD−123 package enables automated placement and reflow soldering with 260°C/10 s maximum solder temperature, while its void-free thermosetting plastic case meets UL 94 V−0 flammability rating and supports high-density PCB layouts.
Key Specifications

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-C15 | Same 15 V nominal Zener, but SOT−23 package (higher RJA = 300 °C/W), 350 mW rating, no AEC−Q101 qualification | Lower power density and reduced thermal performance; suitable only for non-automotive, low-duty-cycle uses | Select when footprint compatibility with SOT−23 is required and automotive qualification is not needed. |
| MMSZ15ET1G | Identical electrical specs and SOD−123 package; differs only in Pb−free marking suffix and tape/reel packaging (3000 pcs vs. 10000 pcs) | No functional difference; same thermal, electrical, and reliability behavior in circuit operation | Select for RoHS compliance verification traceability or when sourcing from distributors stocking G-suffix variants. |
Compared with BZX84-C15, MMSZ15T1H offers superior thermal management (150 vs. 300 °C/W RJL) and automotive qualification; compared with MMSZ15ET1G, it shares identical performance but may differ in packaging configuration and lot traceability scope.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of MMSZ15T1H?
The MMSZ15T1H has a nominal Zener voltage of 15 V with a tolerance of ±5%, resulting in a guaranteed range of 14.25 V to 15.75 V when tested at IZT = 5 mA and TA = 25°C. This tolerance remains valid across the full operating temperature range of −55°C to +150°C, as confirmed in the ON Semiconductor datasheet revision 6.
Is MMSZ15T1H qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, MMSZ15T1H is AEC−Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, meeting the stress test requirements for automotive electronics including temperature cycling, humidity bias, and mechanical shock. It is explicitly listed in the "SZ Prefix for Automotive" section of the datasheet, confirming its suitability for under-hood and infotainment systems.
What is the maximum peak surge power rating for MMSZ15T1H?
The MMSZ15T1H supports a nonrepetitive peak surge power of 225 W for an 8 × 20 µs pulse waveform at TL ≤ 25°C, as specified in the Maximum Ratings table. This rating enables effective transient voltage suppression in industrial and automotive power rails without requiring additional TVS devices.
Does MMSZ15T1H have a Pb−free package?
Yes, MMSZ15T1H is supplied in a Pb−free, RoHS-compliant SOD−123 package, consistent with ON Semiconductor's lead-free initiative. The "T1H" suffix denotes the same environmental compliance as the "G" suffix variants (e.g., MMSZ15ET1G), verified via material declarations and JEDEC J-STD-609 reporting.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to lead (RJL) for MMSZ15T1H?
The thermal resistance from junction to lead (RJL) for MMSZ15T1H is 150 °C/W, measured using the infrared scan method per Note 3 in the datasheet. This value is critical for calculating junction temperature rise under steady-state conditions and must be used instead of RJA (340 °C/W) when the device is mounted on a thermally enhanced pad.
