Product details
Overview
MMSZ33T1G from onsemi is a 33 V ±5% Zener voltage regulator diode in SOD−123 surface-mount package, rated for 500 mW power dissipation at 75°C, with 80 Ω maximum dynamic impedance at 2 mA test current and 0.05 μA reverse leakage at 23.1 V. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in low-power analog and power management circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MMSZ33T1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified electrical specs, thermal derating behavior, AEC−Q101 qualification status, ESD robustness (Class 3, >16 kV HBM), and real-world use cases in automotive sensor signal conditioning and industrial voltage monitoring.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal silicon Zener diode optimized for stable reverse-bias regulation. Its nominal 33 V breakdown voltage is specified at IZT = 2 mA with ±5% tolerance, and its temperature coefficient is +14.5 mV/°C near 33 V - confirmed by Figure 1 and typical TC curves in the datasheet.
Thermal performance is defined by RJA = 340 °C/W and RJL = 150 °C/W, enabling reliable operation across −55°C to +150°C junction temperature range. The SOD−123 package supports automated placement and meets UL 94 V−0 flammability rating.
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-C33 | Same 33 V nominal Zener voltage, but SOT−23 package (higher RJA = 375 °C/W) and 300 mW rating | Lower power handling limits use in sustained-clamp scenarios; less suitable for automotive under-hood thermal profiles | Select when board space allows SOT−23 and thermal load remains below 300 mW |
| 1N4743A | Through-hole DO−41 package, 1 W rating, ±5% tolerance, 25 Ω ZZT at 31 mA - significantly lower impedance but larger footprint | Requires PCB through-hole mounting and cannot support automated SMT production | Choose for prototyping or legacy designs where manual assembly and higher surge capacity are acceptable |
Compared with BZX84-C33 and 1N4743A, the MMSZ33T1G offers optimal balance of SMT compatibility, AEC−Q101 qualification, and 500 mW power density in the compact SOD−123 form factor - making it preferred for volume automotive and industrial surface-mount designs requiring regulatory compliance and thermal resilience.

FAQ
What is the exact Zener voltage tolerance for MMSZ33T1G?
The MMSZ33T1G has a nominal Zener voltage of 33 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%, resulting in a guaranteed range of 31.35 V to 34.65 V when tested at IZT = 2 mA and TA = 25°C. This tolerance is explicitly stated in Notes 3 and 6 of the onsemi datasheet and applies to all units in the MMSZ33T1G production lot.
Is MMSZ33T1G qualified for automotive use?
Yes, the MMSZ33T1G is AEC−Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, confirming its suitability for automotive applications including engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS sensor interfaces. The qualification covers temperature cycling, humidity testing, and mechanical shock per AEC standards - fully documented in onsemi's certification reports.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for MMSZ33T1G at 23.1 V?
The maximum reverse leakage current for MMSZ33T1G is 0.05 μA when biased at VR = 23.1 V (70% of nominal VZ), as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the datasheet. This value is measured at TA = 25°C and confirms low standby power consumption in voltage-monitoring circuits.
Does MMSZ33T1G have Pb−free construction?
Yes, MMSZ33T1G is Pb−free and RoHS compliant, indicated by the "G" suffix in the part number and confirmed in the Ordering Information section. It meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 and supports lead-free reflow soldering profiles up to 260°C for 10 seconds.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient for MMSZ33T1G?
The thermal resistance from junction to ambient (RJA) for MMSZ33T1G is 340 °C/W, measured on FR−5 board using the infrared scan method per Note 2 in the Maximum Ratings table. This value governs steady-state thermal derating and must be applied when operating above 75°C board temperature.
