Product details
Overview
MMSZ51T1G from onsemi is a 51 V ±5% Zener voltage regulator diode in SOD−123 surface-mount package, rated for 500 mW power dissipation at 75°C, with 180 Ω dynamic impedance at 2 mA test current and 0.05 μA reverse leakage at 35.7 V. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in low-power analog and power management circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MMSZ51T1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this device is selected for stable 51 V regulation in space-constrained PCBs where AEC−Q101 qualification, 16 kV HBM ESD robustness, and thermal performance up to +150°C junction temperature are required.
Technical Context
The MMSZ51T1G operates as a two-terminal silicon Zener diode optimized for reverse-biased voltage regulation. Its nominal Zener voltage of 51 V is specified at IZT = 2 mA with ±5% tolerance, and its temperature coefficient is +3.5 mV/°C (typical), indicating positive drift above 5.6 V threshold.
It exhibits 400 Ω maximum Zener impedance at IZT = 0.1 mA, and reverse leakage remains ≤0.05 μA at VR = 35.7 V - confirming tight regulation stability under low-current bias conditions typical in sensing and reference circuits.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX584-C51 | Same 51 V nominal Zener voltage, but 300 mW rating and SOD-323 package; higher ZZT (250 Ω) | Lower power handling limits use in high-surge environments; smaller footprint may complicate rework | Select when board space is critical and peak power stress remains below 300 mW |
| SZMMBZ5257BT1G | 51 V Zener, 225 mW rating, SOT-23 package; ±5% tolerance but higher leakage (1 μA @ 35.7 V) | Higher leakage reduces suitability for ultra-low-power battery monitoring; different thermal resistance (RJA = 400°C/W) | Prefer for legacy SOT-23 footprints where thermal margin allows |
Compared with BZX584-C51 and SZMMBZ5257BT1G, the MMSZ51T1G delivers superior power handling (500 mW), lower dynamic impedance (180 Ω), and tighter leakage (0.05 μA), making it optimal for automotive and industrial applications demanding long-term regulation stability under thermal stress.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of MMSZ51T1G?
The MMSZ51T1G has a nominal Zener voltage of 51 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%, meaning the actual measured VZ falls between 48.45 V and 53.55 V when tested at IZT = 2 mA and TA = 25°C. This tolerance is guaranteed per onsemi's datasheet revision 13 and applies across the full qualified operating temperature range.
Is MMSZ51T1G suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, MMSZ51T1G is AEC−Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, with full validation for automotive use cases including engine control units and body electronics. Its −55°C to +150°C junction temperature range, 16 kV HBM ESD rating, and Pb−free SOD−123 package meet stringent automotive reliability requirements - confirmed in onsemi's official qualification report for the MMSZxxxT1G series.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for MMSZ51T1G?
The maximum reverse leakage current for MMSZ51T1G is 0.05 μA at VR = 35.7 V and TA = 25°C, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the onsemi datasheet. This ultra-low leakage supports energy-sensitive applications such as battery-powered instrumentation and always-on monitoring circuits using the MMSZ51T1G.
Does MMSZ51T1G have a defined temperature coefficient?
Yes, the MMSZ51T1G exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of approximately +3.5 mV/°C, consistent with Zener diodes above 5.6 V. This value is derived from onsemi's Typical Characteristics curve (Figure 1) and confirms predictable, linear VZ drift with temperature - a key factor when designing compensated references using the MMSZ51T1G in wide-temperature environments.
What packaging options are available for MMSZ51T1G?
MMSZ51T1G is supplied in Pb−free SOD−123 package on 3,000-unit tape-and-reel (part number suffix T1G). The marking code "Z3" appears on the cathode band, and the date code and Pb−free indicator ("G") follow standard onsemi conventions. No alternate packages (e.g., T3G or automotive SZ-prefix variants) are listed for this specific voltage grade in the current datasheet revision.
