Product details
Overview
MMSZ4688ET3 from onsemi is a 4.7 V ±5% Zener voltage regulator diode in SOD−123 package, rated for 500 mW power dissipation at 75°C on FR−5 board, with 10 µA reverse leakage at 3 V and 225 W peak surge capability (8 × 20 µs), used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in low-power analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MMSZ4688ET3 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include nominal Zener voltage tolerance, thermal derating behavior, ESD robustness (Class 3, >16 kV HBM), and AEC−Q101 qualification status for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal silicon Zener diode with cathode-anode polarity, designed for stable reverse-biased voltage regulation under DC or low-frequency transient conditions. Its 4.7 V nominal Zener voltage exhibits a temperature coefficient near 0 mV/°C, minimizing drift across −55°C to +150°C junction range.
The SOD−123 package enables automated placement and reflow soldering with 260°C/10 s maximum solder temperature. Thermal resistance is 340°C/W (junction-to-ambient) and 150°C/W (junction-to-lead), supporting predictable power derating above 75°C ambient.

Is the MMSZ4688ET3 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the MMSZ4688ET3 is AEC−Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, confirming its suitability for automotive electronic control units including body control modules and sensor interfaces. The MMSZ4688ET3 meets rigorous stress testing requirements for temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical shock, making it appropriate for under-hood and cabin applications where reliability is mandated by OEM specifications.
What is the maximum power dissipation of the MMSZ4688ET3 on a standard PCB?
The MMSZ4688ET3 is rated for 500 mW total power dissipation on an FR−5 board at a lead temperature (TL) of 75°C, with linear derating of 6.7 mW/°C above that temperature. This specification reflects real-world thermal performance on typical 3.5 × 1.5 inch test boards using the recommended SOD−123 footprint, ensuring safe continuous operation of the MMSZ4688ET3 in thermally constrained designs.
Does the MMSZ4688ET3 have ESD protection, and what level is specified?
The MMSZ4688ET3 features Class 3 human body model (HBM) ESD protection with a rating exceeding 16 kV, verified per ANSI/ESDA/JEDEC JS-001. This high ESD robustness enables reliable handling during automated assembly and field service without additional protection circuitry, a key advantage of the MMSZ4688ET3 in high-mix manufacturing environments.
How does the MMSZ4688ET3 differ from the MMSZ4688ET1G variant?
The MMSZ4688ET3 and MMSZ4688ET1G share identical electrical, thermal, and mechanical specifications - including Zener voltage, power rating, SOD−123 package, and AEC−Q101 qualification - differing only in packaging configuration: MMSZ4688ET3 ships in 10,000-unit tape-and-reel format, while MMSZ4688ET1G uses 3,000-unit reels. Both versions contain the same die and perform identically as MMSZ4688ET3 in circuit operation.
