Product details
Overview
MMSZ4689ET1 from ON Semiconductor is a 5.1 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). It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in low-power analog sensing and power rail stabilization circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MMSZ4689ET1 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection considerations include its 5.1 V nominal Zener voltage, 150 °C maximum junction temperature, AEC−Q101 qualification, Class 3 ESD rating (>16 kV HBM), and SOD−123 footprint compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The MMSZ4689ET1 operates as a two-terminal silicon Zener diode optimized for stable reverse-bias regulation at 5.1 V with tight tolerance (±5%) and low dynamic impedance (typically 17 Ω at IZT = 20 mA). Its thermal resistance is 150 °C/W (junction-to-lead) and 340 °C/W (junction-to-ambient), enabling reliable operation up to 150 °C junction temperature.
It features a cathode band marking, Pb-free construction, UL 94 V−0 flammability rating, and is qualified per AEC−Q101 for automotive applications. The device exhibits a positive temperature coefficient near 5.1 V (≈+2.0 mV/°C), confirmed in typical characteristics curves across −55°C to +150°C.
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-C5V1 | Same 5.1 V nominal Zener voltage, but SOT-23 package (larger footprint), 350 mW rating, no AEC−Q101 qualification | Not suitable for automotive under-hood use; limited surge capability (100 W peak) | Select when board space allows SOT-23 and automotive qualification is unnecessary |
| MMSZ5231B | 5.1 V Zener, same SOD−123 package, but 350 mW rating and no AEC−Q101 or Class 3 ESD rating | Lower power handling limits continuous regulation in warm environments; unqualified for automotive PPAP | Choose only for non-automotive, low-cost consumer applications where 500 mW headroom is not required |
Compared with BZX84-C5V1 and MMSZ5231B, the MMSZ4689ET1 delivers higher power margin (500 mW vs. 350 mW), certified automotive reliability, and superior ESD robustness-making it the preferred choice for safety-critical or thermally demanding deployments.
