Product details
Overview
MMSZ27T3G from onsemi is a 27 V ±5% Zener diode in SOD−123 package, rated for 500 mW power dissipation at 75°C ambient, with 80 Ω dynamic impedance at 2 mA test current and 0.05 μA reverse leakage at 18.9 V. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in low-power analog sensor interfaces and microcontroller I/O protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MMSZ27T3G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal derating behavior, AEC−Q101 qualification status, Pb−free compliance, and direct alternative part comparisons grounded in onsemi's official MMSZxxxT1G Series documentation.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal silicon Zener diode optimized for stable reverse-biased regulation. Its 27 V nominal Zener voltage is specified at IZT = 2 mA with ±5% tolerance, and exhibits a temperature coefficient near +0.045 mV/°C (inferred from Figure 1 for ~27 V range), enabling predictable drift compensation in industrial temperature ranges.
The SOD−123 package supports automated placement and provides 150 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance. It achieves Class 3 ESD robustness (>16 kV HBM) and meets UL 94 V−0 flammability rating - critical for automotive and high-reliability embedded systems where board-level surge immunity and solder reliability are mandatory.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 25.65–28.35 V @ IZT = 2 mA - defines tight regulation window for 27 V rail clamping or reference generation |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 500 mW @ TL = 75°C - sets maximum continuous power handling on FR−5 PCB before thermal derating applies |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 80 Ω max @ IZT = 2 mA - determines AC ripple rejection capability in low-noise reference designs |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.05 μA max @ VR = 18.9 V - ensures minimal quiescent current draw in battery-powered standby circuits |
| Junction Temp Range | −55°C to +150°C - enables operation in under-hood automotive, industrial motor control, and outdoor IoT environments |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV HBM) - protects against electrostatic discharge during handling and system integration |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C27LT1G | Same 27 V nominal, but 300 mW rating and 100 Ω ZZT @ 5 mA - lower power handling and higher impedance | Less suitable for sustained 2 mA+ regulation loads; better for low-current biasing | Select when board space allows larger SOT-23 footprint and thermal budget is constrained |
| MMSZ27ET3G | Same SOD−123 package and 27 V rating, but ±2% tolerance and tighter 60 Ω ZZT - higher precision variant | Preferred for metrology-grade references where 2% tolerance justifies cost premium | Choose when absolute voltage accuracy outweighs cost sensitivity in test equipment or calibration modules |
Compared with BZX84-C27LT1G, MMSZ27T3G delivers 67% higher power margin and 25% lower dynamic impedance; versus MMSZ27ET3G, it trades ±2% tolerance for broader availability and lower unit cost while retaining identical thermal and ESD performance.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the MMSZ27T3G?
The MMSZ27T3G has a nominal Zener voltage of 27 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%, meaning its actual reverse breakdown voltage falls between 25.65 V and 28.35 V when tested at IZT = 2 mA. This tolerance is confirmed in Table 3 of the onsemi datasheet and applies across the full operating temperature range of −55°C to +150°C. The MMSZ27T3G maintains this specification without requiring binning or selection.
Is the MMSZ27T3G suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the MMSZ27T3G is AEC−Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, making it suitable for automotive applications including body electronics, infotainment systems, and sensor interfaces. Its SOD−123 package passes high-temperature operating life (HTOL), temperature cycling (TC), and highly accelerated stress testing (HAST) per AEC−Q101 standards. The MMSZ27T3G also features Class 3 ESD robustness (>16 kV HBM), critical for vehicle assembly line environments.
What is the maximum power dissipation of the MMSZ27T3G at 100°C ambient?
At 100°C ambient temperature, the MMSZ27T3G must be derated from its 500 mW rating at 75°C. Using the specified derating factor of 6.7 mW/°C above 75°C, the allowable power drops to 332.5 mW (500 mW − [25°C × 6.7 mW/°C]). This value is derived directly from the "Maximum Ratings" table in the onsemi datasheet and reflects safe continuous operation without exceeding junction temperature limits.
Does the MMSZ27T3G have Pb−free construction?
Yes, the MMSZ27T3G is Pb−free and RoHS compliant, as indicated by the "G" suffix in its part number and confirmed in the "Ordering Information" section of the onsemi datasheet. The device uses a void-free, transfer-molded thermosetting plastic case with corrosion-resistant finish, and complies with JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL-1) for reflow compatibility. The MMSZ27T3G meets all applicable environmental directives for global electronics manufacturing.
How does the MMSZ27T3G compare to the MMSZ27ET3G?
The MMSZ27T3G and MMSZ27ET3G share identical package (SOD−123), nominal voltage (27 V), and power rating (500 mW), but differ in tolerance: MMSZ27T3G is ±5%, while MMSZ27ET3G is ±2%. The tighter tolerance version also offers lower dynamic impedance (60 Ω vs. 80 Ω at IZT). Both are AEC−Q101 qualified and Pb−free. The MMSZ27T3G remains the preferred choice for cost-sensitive, high-volume applications where ±5% meets system requirements.
