Product details
Overview
MMSZ4691T1 from onsemi is a 6.2 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 reverse leakage at 5 V (IR), and 150°C maximum junction temperature - used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in low-power analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MMSZ4691T1 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal derating behavior, ESD robustness (Class 3, >16 kV HBM), and direct alternatives for voltage regulation in space-constrained PCB designs.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable voltage across its terminals under varying load and temperature conditions. Its nominal Zener voltage of 6.2 V is specified at IZT = 50 µA, with dynamic impedance (ZZT) optimized for low-noise reference applications.
The device features a temperature coefficient near zero at ~6 V (per Figure 1), enabling stable regulation across −55°C to +150°C. Thermal resistance from junction-to-lead is 150°C/W, supporting reliable operation on FR-4/FR-5 boards with proper layout and copper pour.
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-C6V2 | Same 6.2 V nominal Zener, but SOT-23 package (larger footprint, higher RJA = 300°C/W) | Less suitable for ultra-dense layouts; higher thermal resistance limits power handling on small pads | Select when existing SOT-23 footprint reuse is prioritized over miniaturization |
| MMSZ4691T1G | Identical electrical specs and SOD−123 package; "G" suffix denotes Pb-free compliance (same as MMSZ4691T1 per onsemi documentation) | No functional difference; "G" and non-"G" variants share identical marking (CA), thermal, and electrical behavior | Prefer MMSZ4691T1G for new designs requiring explicit RoHS documentation traceability |
Compared with BZX84-C6V2 and MMSZ4691T1G, the MMSZ4691T1 offers identical Zener performance in the smallest standardized 2-lead SMD package, with superior thermal efficiency over SOT-23 and full backward compatibility with legacy "G"-suffixed production lots.

FAQ
What is the exact Zener voltage tolerance for MMSZ4691T1?
The MMSZ4691T1 has a guaranteed Zener voltage range of 5.89 V (minimum) to 6.51 V (maximum) at IZT = 50 µA and TA = 25°C, corresponding to a ±5% tolerance around the nominal 6.2 V value. This tolerance remains valid across the full operating temperature range of −55°C to +150°C, as confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the official onsemi datasheet.
Is MMSZ4691T1 RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the MMSZ4691T1 is Pb-free and RoHS compliant, as explicitly stated in the datasheet's Features section and Mechanical Characteristics. The "T1" suffix aligns with onsemi's Pb-free packaging standard, and the device carries the required environmental certifications for global market deployment without restriction.
What is the maximum power dissipation for MMSZ4691T1 on a standard FR-4 PCB?
MMSZ4691T1 delivers 500 mW maximum power dissipation when mounted on an FR-5 board at lead temperature (TL) of 75°C, with linear derating of 6.7 mW/°C above that point. On typical FR-4 boards with minimal copper, actual usable power is slightly lower due to higher thermal resistance - design margin should include junction temperature calculation using RJL = 150°C/W.
Does MMSZ4691T1 have AEC-Q101 qualification?
The base MMSZ4691T1 is not AEC-Q101 qualified; however, its automotive-grade counterpart SZMMSZ4691T1G is explicitly listed as AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable per the datasheet's Features section. For automotive applications requiring qualification, the SZ-prefixed variant must be selected - MMSZ4691T1 remains suitable for industrial and commercial use.
What is the reverse leakage current of MMSZ4691T1 at 5 V?
The reverse leakage current (IR) of MMSZ4691T1 is specified as 10 µA maximum at VR = 5 V and TA = 25°C. This low leakage supports energy-efficient operation in always-on circuits such as real-time clock backup supplies and low-power sensor bias rails where standby current must remain below 100 µA.
