Product details
Overview
MMSZ5222BT1 from ON Semiconductor is a 2.5 V ±5% Zener diode in SOD−123 package, rated for 500 mW power dissipation on FR−5 board at 75°C, with 1250 Ω dynamic impedance at 20 mA test current and 0.25 µA leakage current at 100 V reverse bias-used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in low-power sensor signal conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MMSZ5222BT1 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal derating behavior, SOD−123 terminal mapping, and direct alternative options for voltage regulation in space-constrained PCB designs.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal silicon Zener regulator with cathode-anode polarity, designed to maintain stable reverse breakdown voltage under controlled thermal equilibrium conditions (TL = 30°C ±1°C). Its 2.5 V nominal Zener voltage is specified at IZT = 20 mA with 5% tolerance, and it exhibits a temperature coefficient of +2.5 mV/°C across −55°C to +150°C.
The MMSZ5222BT1 features Class 3 ESD robustness (>16 kV HBM), Pb−free construction per J-STD-020, and thermal resistance of 340°C/W junction-to-ambient (RJA) on FR−5 board. It supports automated surface-mount assembly and complies with AEC−Q101 for automotive applications when ordered with SZ prefix.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX584C2V4 | 2.4 V nominal, ±5%, 300 mW rating, SOD-323 package | Lower power rating and smaller footprint; less thermal margin in sustained clamp duty | Select when board area is critical and peak power <300 mW |
| MMSZ5221BT1G | 2.4 V nominal, same SOD−123 package and 500 mW rating | Narrower voltage window (2.28–2.52 V) suits tighter reference requirements | Choose for lower-voltage biasing where 0.1 V reduction improves headroom |
Compared with BZX584C2V4 and MMSZ5221BT1G, the MMSZ5222BT1 offers a balanced combination of 2.5 V output, full 500 mW capability, and AEC−Q101 qualification-making it optimal for automotive-grade voltage references requiring both thermal headroom and production traceability.

FAQ
What is the nominal Zener voltage and tolerance of the MMSZ5222BT1?
The MMSZ5222BT1 has a nominal Zener voltage of 2.5 V with a ±5% tolerance, meaning its actual breakdown voltage falls between 2.38 V and 2.63 V when measured at IZT = 20 mA under thermal equilibrium conditions (TL = 30°C ±1°C). This specification is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the ON Semiconductor datasheet MMSZ5221BT1/D Rev. 15.
Does the MMSZ5222BT1 meet automotive qualification standards?
Yes-the MMSZ5222BT1 is part of the SZMMSZ52xxxT1G series variant, which is AEC−Q101 qualified and PPAP capable. While the base MMSZ5222BT1 part number itself does not carry the "SZ" prefix, ON Semiconductor explicitly states that SZ-prefix devices represent the automotive-grade version of the same MMSZ52xxxT1G family, sharing identical electrical and mechanical specifications except for enhanced process controls and traceability.
What is the maximum power dissipation and thermal derating behavior of the MMSZ5222BT1?
The MMSZ5222BT1 is rated for 500 mW total power dissipation on FR−5 board at TL = 75°C, with linear derating of 6.7 mW/°C above that temperature. Its thermal resistance is 340°C/W junction-to-ambient (RJA) and 150°C/W junction-to-lead (RJL), enabling accurate thermal modeling for PCB layout and reliability assessment in continuous-clamp applications.
How is the polarity marked on the MMSZ5222BT1 SOD−123 package?
The MMSZ5222BT1 uses a cathode band to indicate polarity-terminal 1 (cathode) is marked with a visible band near the edge of the SOD−123 case, while terminal 2 (anode) is unmarked. This marking aligns with JEDEC standard SOD−123 orientation and must be observed during placement to ensure correct reverse-bias operation in voltage regulation circuits.
What is the Zener impedance and leakage current specification for the MMSZ5222BT1?
The MMSZ5222BT1 has a maximum Zener impedance (ZZT) of 1250 Ω at IZT = 20 mA and a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 0.25 µA at VR = 100 V. These values define its ability to regulate voltage under dynamic load conditions and minimize standby power loss in high-impedance bias networks, respectively.
