Product details
Overview
MMSZ4691 RHG from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 6.2 V ±5% tolerance, 500 mW surface-mount Zener diode in SOD-123 package, designed for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in low-power analog and digital circuits. It delivers stable clamping at 50 mA test current with 10 µA leakage at 5.0 V reverse bias and operates across –55°C to +150°C junction temperature range.
For engineers reviewing the MMSZ4691 RHG datasheet, MMSZ4691 RHG pinout, MMSZ4691 RHG application, or MMSZ4691 RHG equivalent, key selection criteria include its 6.2 V nominal Zener voltage, 500 mW power rating, SOD-123 thermal resistance (340°C/W), cathode-band polarity marking, and compliance with RoHS and halogen-free standards.
Technical Context
The MMSZ4691 RHG functions as a two-terminal voltage reference device operating in reverse breakdown mode. Its Zener voltage is specified at 50 mA test current (IZT), with dynamic impedance optimized for low-noise regulation in feedback paths and supply rail clamp circuits.
It exhibits 10 µA maximum leakage current at VR = 5.0 V, supports full-rated power dissipation up to +25°C ambient, and derates linearly above that per the published power temperature curve - maintaining reliable operation in compact PCB layouts where thermal management is constrained by the SOD-123 footprint.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 5.89–6.51 V @ IZT = 50 mA; ensures ±5% regulation window for 6.2 V nominal reference |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 500 mW; defines maximum steady-state energy handling on standard 5 cm × 5 cm Cu pad |
| Junction Temperature (TJ) | –55°C to +150°C; enables use in automotive under-hood and industrial control environments |
| Leakage Current (IR) | ≤10 µA @ VR = 5.0 V; minimizes standby current loss in battery-powered sensing nodes |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 340°C/W; determines temperature rise above ambient under full load, critical for thermal layout planning |
| Package | SOD-123; 2.85 mm × 1.80 mm footprint with cathode band polarity indicator |
Pinout & Package
SOD-123 is a surface-mount plastic package with two terminals: anode and cathode. Polarity is marked by a visible cathode band on the body end. The device has no internal leads or substrate connections beyond these two terminals.

|---|---|---|
| Anode | Reference ground node | Connected to circuit common or lower-potential rail during Zener operation |
| Cathode | Regulated output node | Provides stable 6.2 V relative to anode when reverse-biased above breakdown threshold |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX584-C6V2 | Same 6.2 V nominal Zener voltage, but 300 mW rating and SOD-323 package | Lower power handling and smaller footprint; unsuitable for sustained 500 mW loads | Select when board space is constrained and peak power remains below 300 mW |
| MMBZ5234B | 6.2 V nominal, 350 mW rating, SOT-23 package with different pinout (cathode on pin 3) | Higher thermal resistance (~400°C/W); requires PCB layout revision for replacement | Choose only if existing SOT-23 footprint and higher mounting density outweigh thermal trade-offs |
Compared with BZX584-C6V2 and MMBZ5234B, the MMSZ4691 RHG offers superior power handling (500 mW) and thermal performance (340°C/W) in the widely adopted SOD-123 form factor, making it optimal for general-purpose regulation where reliability and manufacturability are prioritized over minimal footprint.
