Product details
Overview
MMSZ3V0T1 from onsemi is a 3.0 V ±5% Zener voltage regulator diode in SOD−123 surface-mount package, rated for 500 mW power dissipation at 75°C, with 95 Ω dynamic impedance at 5 mA test current and 10 µA reverse leakage at 1 V reverse bias - used for precision low-voltage reference and overvoltage protection in power management circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MMSZ3V0T1 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 replacement guidance for low-power voltage regulation design.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal silicon Zener diode optimized for stable reverse-bias voltage regulation at nominal 3.0 V. It exhibits a temperature coefficient of approximately +2.1 mV/°C near its nominal Zener voltage and maintains regulation under DC currents from 0.1 mA to 20 mA.
The SOD−123 package enables automated placement and reflow soldering with UL 94 V−0 flammability rating and 260°C/10s maximum soldering temperature tolerance. Its junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is 340°C/W on FR−5 board, supporting operation across −55°C to +150°C ambient range.
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-C3V0 | 3.0 V ±5%, 300 mW rating, SOT−23 package, higher ZZT (150 Ω) | Lower power handling limits use in high-current regulation; smaller footprint but higher thermal resistance | Select when board space is critical and peak power remains below 300 mW |
| MM3Z3V0T1 | 3.0 V ±5%, 200 mW rating, SOD−323 package, 120 Ω ZZT, same AEC−Q101 qualification | Reduced power capability restricts use to ultra-low-power signal conditioning only | Prefer for miniaturized wearables where 200 mW suffices and 0.85 mm height is mandatory |
Compared with MMSZ3V0T1, BZX84-C3V0 offers smaller SOT−23 size but sacrifices 40% power margin and increases dynamic impedance; MM3Z3V0T1 matches automotive qualification but halves power capacity and raises impedance - making MMSZ3V0T1 optimal for balanced performance in space-constrained yet thermally demanding designs.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for MMSZ3V0T1?
The MMSZ3V0T1 has a nominal Zener voltage of 3.0 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%, resulting in a guaranteed range of 2.85 V to 3.15 V 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 onsemi datasheet revision 13.
Is MMSZ3V0T1 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, MMSZ3V0T1 is AEC−Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, meeting stress test requirements for automotive electronics including temperature cycling, humidity bias, and mechanical shock. It is explicitly listed in the datasheet as qualified for automotive and other high-reliability applications.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for MMSZ3V0T1?
The maximum reverse leakage current for MMSZ3V0T1 is 10 µA at VR = 1 V and TA = 25°C. This value is specified in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 2 of the official onsemi datasheet and reflects worst-case leakage under nominal bias conditions.
Can MMSZ3V0T1 be used in place of MMSZ3V3T1G?
No - MMSZ3V0T1 and MMSZ3V3T1G regulate at different nominal voltages (3.0 V vs. 3.3 V) with non-overlapping tolerance bands (2.85–3.15 V vs. 3.14–3.47 V). Substitution would cause functional failure in circuits relying on precise 3.3 V reference or clamping thresholds.
What is the thermal resistance of MMSZ3V0T1 on FR−5 board?
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RJA) of MMSZ3V0T1 is 340°C/W when mounted on FR−5 board, as measured via infrared scan method per Note 2 in the Maximum Ratings table. This value governs temperature rise under steady-state power dissipation and must be applied in thermal design calculations.
