Product details
Overview
MMSZ24T1 from onsemi is a 24 V ±5% Zener voltage regulator diode in SOD−123 surface-mount package, rated for 500 mW power dissipation at 75°C, with 70 Ω dynamic impedance at 5 mA test current and 0.05 μA reverse leakage at 16.8 V. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in low-power DC supply rails and sensor interface circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MMSZ24T1 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this device is selected for stable 24 V regulation in space-constrained industrial control modules, automotive body electronics, and IoT sensor nodes where AEC−Q101 qualification and high ESD immunity (>16 kV HBM) are required.
Technical Context
The MMSZ24T1 operates as a two-terminal silicon Zener diode optimized for reverse-biased breakdown regulation. Its nominal 24 V Zener voltage is specified at IZT = 5 mA with ±5% tolerance, and exhibits a temperature coefficient of approximately +6.5 mV/°C (inferred from Figure 1 for 24 V devices), enabling predictable drift compensation in mid-voltage references.
It delivers 500 mW total power dissipation on FR−5 board up to 75°C, derating linearly at 6.7 mW/°C above that, and maintains thermal resistance of 340°C/W junction-to-ambient - critical for thermal design in sealed enclosures or stacked PCBs.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C24 | Same 24 V ±5% Zener voltage, but SOT-23 package (larger footprint, higher RJA = 370°C/W), 350 mW rating | Lower power handling and less thermal margin in dense layouts; not AEC−Q101 qualified | Select when legacy SOT-23 footprint compatibility is required and automotive qualification is unnecessary |
| MMBZ5242B | 24 V ±5% Zener, SOT-23 package, 350 mW, but higher ZZT = 33 Ω @ 20 mA (not directly comparable at 5 mA) | Optimized for higher test currents; less stable regulation at low-current sensor biasing | Prefer for cost-sensitive consumer applications where 20 mA operating point dominates and AEC−Q101 is not mandated |
Compared with BZX84-C24 and MMBZ5242B, the MMSZ24T1 offers superior thermal performance (500 mW vs. 350 mW), AEC−Q101 qualification, and tighter low-current regulation stability - making it the preferred choice for automotive and industrial 24 V reference designs demanding long-term reliability.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the MMSZ24T1?
The MMSZ24T1 has a nominal Zener voltage of 24 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%, meaning its actual breakdown voltage falls between 22.8 V and 25.2 V when tested at IZT = 5 mA and TA = 25°C. This tolerance is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 2 of the official onsemi datasheet (Rev. 13, June 2024). The MMSZ24T1 maintains this specification across its qualified operating temperature range.
Is the MMSZ24T1 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the MMSZ24T1 is AEC−Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, confirming its suitability for automotive applications including body electronics, lighting control, and sensor modules. Its guaranteed operation from −55°C to +150°C junction temperature, high ESD immunity (>16 kV HBM), and Pb−free construction meet key automotive reliability requirements. The MMSZ24T1 is explicitly listed in onsemi's AEC−Q101 qualified product portfolio.
What is the maximum power dissipation of the MMSZ24T1 at 100°C ambient?
At 100°C ambient, the MMSZ24T1 must be derated from its 500 mW rating at 75°C using the specified derating factor of 6.7 mW/°C. The allowable power is therefore 500 mW − (100°C − 75°C) × 6.7 mW/°C = 332.5 mW. This value assumes mounting on FR−5 board per datasheet Note 1 and is validated by onsemi's steady-state derating curve (Figure 3). The MMSZ24T1 remains functional within this limit without exceeding its 150°C maximum junction temperature.
Does the MMSZ24T1 have a defined forward voltage specification?
Yes, the MMSZ24T1 specifies a maximum forward voltage (VF) of 0.95 V at IF = 10 mA and TA = 25°C, as stated in the Electrical Characteristics summary on page 1 of the datasheet. This parameter is relevant when the device is used in forward conduction (e.g., as a clamp during positive transients) and confirms compatibility with standard logic-level drive requirements. The MMSZ24T1's forward characteristic is consistent across the full MMSZxxxT1G series.
How is the cathode identified on the MMSZ24T1 package?
The cathode of the MMSZ24T1 is identified by a polarity band printed on the SOD−123 case - located at Pin 1 per the mechanical outline on page 6 of the datasheet. This band aligns with the banded end of the device body and corresponds to the cathode terminal in all electrical schematics and layout footprints. The MMSZ24T1's marking code "X5" appears adjacent to this band, confirming correct orientation during automated assembly.
