Product details
Overview
MMSZ3V9T1 from onsemi is a 3.9 V ±5% Zener voltage regulator diode in SOD−123 surface-mount package, rated for 500 mW power dissipation at 75°C, with 90 Ω maximum dynamic impedance at 5 mA and 3 μA reverse leakage at 1 V, used for precision low-voltage reference and overvoltage protection in space-constrained DC-DC feedback loops.
For engineers reviewing the MMSZ3V9T1 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 alternatives for automotive and industrial voltage regulation designs.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable 3.9 V across its terminals under controlled current conditions, with nominal Zener voltage measured at IZT = 5 mA and pulse width = 1 ms. Its temperature coefficient is near zero (~0.2 mV/°C) in the 3–4 V range, minimizing drift over −55°C to +150°C junction temperature.
The device exhibits 90 Ω dynamic impedance at 5 mA test current and 3.5 Ω at 1 mA, enabling tight regulation in low-current bias networks. It features Pb−free construction, UL 94 V−0 flammability rating, and cathode polarity marked by band on SOD−123 case.
