Product details
Overview
MMSZ4689T3 from onsemi is a 5.1 V ±5% Zener voltage regulator diode in SOD−123 package, rated for 500 mW power dissipation at 75°C, with 50 µA test current (IZT), 10 µA leakage current at 3 V reverse bias, and −55°C to +150°C operating temperature range-used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in low-power sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the MMSZ4689T3 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include nominal Zener voltage tolerance, dynamic impedance at 20 mA, temperature coefficient, ESD robustness (Class 3 HBM >16 kV), and SOD−123 thermal resistance (RJL = 150°C/W).
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal shunt voltage regulator, maintaining stable output voltage across load variations by conducting reverse current above its specified Zener breakdown threshold. It exhibits low dynamic impedance (ZZT ≈ 70 Ω at IZ = 20 mA) and a positive temperature coefficient near 5.1 V (≈ +2.5 mV/°C), enabling predictable drift compensation in reference circuits.
Designed for surface-mount assembly on FR-4/FR-5 PCBs, the MMSZ4689T3 delivers consistent regulation under transient conditions, with non-repetitive surge capability up to 40 W for 1 ms pulses and full compliance with AEC-Q101 when ordered as SZMMSZ4689T3G.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 4.85 V min / 5.1 V nom / 5.36 V max @ IZT = 50 µA - defines tight regulation window for 5 V rail clamping. |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 500 mW @ TL = 75°C - sets maximum continuous thermal load on standard PCB layout. |
| Leakage Current (IR) | 10 µA @ VR = 3 V - ensures minimal standby current draw in battery-powered circuits. |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 70 Ω @ IZ = 20 mA - determines output voltage stability under varying load current. |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV) per HBM - protects against handling-induced electrostatic discharge during assembly. |
| Junction Temp Range | −55°C to +150°C - supports operation in automotive under-hood and industrial control environments. |

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, but SOT-23 package (higher RJA = 300°C/W), 350 mW rating, 5 µA IR @ 3 V. | Higher thermal resistance limits use in high-ambient-temp PCB areas; lower leakage benefits ultra-low-power sleep modes. | Select when board space permits SOT-23 and leakage <5 µA is critical; avoid if thermal derating below 75°C is required. |
| MMBZ5221BS | 5.1 V Zener in SOT-23, 225 mW rating, 100 µA IZT, 10 µA IR @ 3 V, higher ZZT (~170 Ω). | Lower power rating restricts use to signal-level clamping only; higher dynamic impedance reduces regulation accuracy under load. | Choose only for cost-sensitive consumer applications where regulation precision and surge immunity are secondary. |
Compared with BZX84-C5V1 and MMBZ5221BS, the MMSZ4689T3 offers superior thermal performance (500 mW @ 75°C vs. ≤350 mW), tighter VZ tolerance (±5% vs. ±5% but wider min/max spread), and lower ZZT-making it preferred for industrial and automotive voltage reference roles requiring long-term stability.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the MMSZ4689T3?
The MMSZ4689T3 has a Zener voltage specification of 4.85 V minimum, 5.1 V nominal, and 5.36 V maximum at IZT = 50 µA, corresponding to a ±5% tolerance around the nominal value. This tolerance is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range of −55°C to +150°C and is verified per onsemi's production test flow. The MMSZ4689T3 datasheet confirms this range on page 3 under Electrical Characteristics.
Is the MMSZ4689T3 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes-the MMSZ4689T3 is qualified to AEC-Q101 when ordered as the SZMMSZ4689T3G variant, which includes additional process controls, traceability, and PPAP documentation. While the standard MMSZ4689T3 shares identical electrical and thermal specs, only the SZ-prefix version is certified for automotive use. Designers must specify SZMMSZ4689T3G for under-hood or safety-critical modules.
What is the maximum surge power the MMSZ4689T3 can handle?
The MMSZ4689T3 supports up to 40 W of non-repetitive peak surge power for pulse widths of 1 ms at TA = 25°C, as shown in Figure 4 of the onsemi datasheet. This capability enables reliable transient suppression in applications like LIN bus clamping or microcontroller I/O protection, provided pulse repetition is limited to allow junction cooling between events.
Does the MMSZ4689T3 have a specified temperature coefficient?
Yes-the MMSZ4689T3 exhibits a typical temperature coefficient of +2.5 mV/°C near its 5.1 V operating point, as confirmed by Figure 1 and the Typical TC Values table in the onsemi datasheet. This positive coefficient allows predictable voltage drift with temperature, supporting compensation techniques in precision reference designs where absolute stability is less critical than monotonic behavior.
What is the dynamic impedance (ZZT) of the MMSZ4689T3 at 20 mA?
The MMSZ4689T3 has a dynamic impedance (ZZT) of 70 Ω at IZ = 20 mA and TJ = 25°C, per Figure 5 in the onsemi datasheet. This value quantifies how tightly the device regulates voltage under changing load current-lower ZZT indicates better regulation fidelity, making the MMSZ4689T3 suitable for applications requiring <±15 mV output variation across moderate load shifts.
