Product details
Overview
MMSZ4684ET1 from ON Semiconductor is a 3.3 V ±5% Zener voltage regulator diode in SOD−123 surface-mount package, rated for 500 mW power dissipation at 75°C on FR−5 board, with 7.5 µA reverse leakage at 1.5 V and ESD rating >16 kV (HBM). It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in low-power analog and digital supply rails.
For engineers reviewing the MMSZ4684ET1 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include nominal Zener voltage tolerance, thermal derating behavior, dynamic impedance at 20 mA, junction temperature range (−55°C to +150°C), and AEC−Q101 qualification status for automotive use cases.
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable voltage across its terminals under varying load and temperature conditions. Its Zener voltage is specified at IZT = 50 mA with ±5% tolerance, and exhibits a temperature coefficient near zero at ~3.3 V, minimizing drift over −55°C to +150°C.
The SOD−123 package enables automated placement and reflow soldering with UL 94 V−0 flammability rating and 260°C/10s maximum soldering temperature. Thermal resistance is 340°C/W (junction-to-ambient) and 150°C/W (junction-to-lead), supporting reliable operation in compact PCB layouts.

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-C3V3 | Same 3.3 V nominal Zener, but SOT−23 package (larger footprint, higher RJA = 375°C/W), 350 mW rating | Less suitable for high-density layouts; lower surge capability (100 W) | Select when legacy SOT−23 footprint compatibility is required and thermal margin allows |
| MMSZ5226B | 3.3 V Zener in SOD−123, but non-AEC−Q101, 500 mW rating, higher leakage (10 µA @ 1 V) | Not qualified for automotive use; acceptable for commercial-grade instrumentation | Choose for cost-sensitive non-automotive designs where AEC−Q101 is not mandated |
Compared with BZX84-C3V3 and MMSZ5226B, the MMSZ4684ET1 offers superior automotive qualification, tighter leakage control, and identical SOD−123 form factor-making it optimal for space-constrained, high-reliability applications demanding AEC−Q101 compliance and precise 3.3 V regulation.

FAQ
What is the nominal Zener voltage and tolerance of the MMSZ4684ET1?
The MMSZ4684ET1 has a nominal Zener voltage of 3.3 V with a tolerance of ±5%, specified at test current IZT = 50 mA. The minimum and maximum values are 3.13 V and 3.47 V respectively, measured under thermal equilibrium at lead temperature TL = 30°C ±1°C. This tight tolerance supports precision voltage reference and clamping functions in regulated power domains.
Is the MMSZ4684ET1 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the MMSZ4684ET1 is AEC−Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, making it suitable for automotive applications including body control modules, infotainment power supplies, and sensor interfaces. Its guaranteed operation from −55°C to +150°C, 225 W surge rating, and >16 kV HBM ESD immunity meet stringent automotive reliability requirements-unlike non-qualified alternatives such as MMSZ5226B.
What is the maximum power dissipation of the MMSZ4684ET1 and how does it derate with temperature?
The MMSZ4684ET1 is rated for 500 mW total power dissipation at lead temperature TL = 75°C on FR−5 board, with linear derating of 6.7 mW/°C above that point. At ambient temperature TA = 25°C, the practical continuous power is limited by junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (340°C/W), meaning sustained operation above ~150 mW requires careful thermal design. Full 500 mW is only sustainable under controlled board-level thermal conditions.
What package type and marking does the MMSZ4684ET1 use?
The MMSZ4684ET1 uses the SOD−123 surface-mount package (Case 425, Style 1), with cathode identified by a band at terminal 1. Its marking code is "CG3", visible on the device top surface. The package features Pb−free construction, UL 94 V−0 flammability rating, and is optimized for automated assembly with a maximum soldering temperature of 260°C for 10 seconds.
How does the MMSZ4684ET1 compare to the MMSZ4680ET1G in terms of Zener voltage and leakage?
The MMSZ4684ET1 has a nominal Zener voltage of 3.3 V (vs. 2.2 V for MMSZ4680ET1G) and higher reverse leakage-7.5 µA max at 1.5 V compared to 4 µA at 1 V for MMSZ4680ET1G. Both share identical SOD−123 packaging, AEC−Q101 qualification, and 500 mW rating, but the MMSZ4684ET1's higher voltage and slightly elevated leakage reflect its optimized design point for mid-range reference applications rather than ultra-low-voltage biasing.
