Product details
Overview
MMSZ5223BT3 from onsemi is a 2.7 V ±5% Zener diode in SOD−123 package, rated for 500 mW power dissipation at TL = 75°C, with 1300 Ω maximum dynamic impedance at 20 mA test current and 0.25 µA reverse leakage at 75 V, used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in low-power analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MMSZ5223BT3 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal derating behavior, cathode/anode terminal mapping, and direct alternatives for voltage regulation design-in.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal silicon Zener diode, maintaining stable reverse breakdown voltage across its cathode–anode terminals under controlled current conditions. Its nominal 2.7 V Zener voltage is specified with junction in thermal equilibrium at TL = 30°C ±1°C, and exhibits a temperature coefficient of +2.5 mV/°C (typical) in the 2.4–3.6 V range.
It supports general-purpose medium-current regulation with 1000 V ESD rating per Human Body Model (Class 3), Pb-free construction compliant with RoHS, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive applications when ordered with SZ prefix. Thermal resistance is 340°C/W (junction-to-ambient) on FR-5 board.
Key Specifications

| Power Dissipation (PD) | 500 mW at TL = 75°C - sets maximum steady-state thermal load on PCB |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 1300 Ω max at IZT = 20 mA - determines voltage regulation stability under load variation |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.25 µA max at VR = 75 V - ensures minimal standby current in high-impedance bias networks |
| Thermal Resistance (RJA) | 340°C/W on FR-5 board - governs junction temperature rise per watt dissipated |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV HBM) - enables robust handling in automated assembly without special ESD controls |
| Operating Temperature | −55°C to +150°C - supports industrial and under-hood automotive environments |
Pinout & Package

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX584C2V7LT1G | 2.7 V ±5%, 300 mW rating, SOD-323 package, 100 Ω ZZT @ 5 mA | Lower power rating and smaller footprint; higher dynamic impedance at low current | Select for space-constrained designs where 300 mW suffices and tighter ZZT at 5 mA is acceptable |
| MMSZ4678ET1G | 2.7 V ±5%, 500 mW rating, SOD-123 package, 1000 Ω ZZT @ 20 mA, 0.1 µA IR @ 1 V | Near-identical package and power rating but lower leakage at low reverse bias | Prefer when minimizing sub-1 V leakage in high-impedance divider networks is critical |
Compared with MMSZ5223BT3, BZX584C2V7LT1G offers smaller size but reduced power handling, while MMSZ4678ET1G matches power and package but improves low-voltage leakage-both require validation of thermal margin and Zener impedance behavior at target operating current.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the MMSZ5223BT3?
The MMSZ5223BT3 has a ±5% Zener voltage tolerance, meaning its reverse breakdown voltage is guaranteed between 2.57 V and 2.84 V when tested at IZT = 20 mA and thermal equilibrium (TL = 30°C ±1°C). This tolerance is confirmed in the "5% TOLERANCE FG ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS" table on page 3 of the official datasheet.
Does the MMSZ5223BT3 meet automotive qualification standards?
The MMSZ5223BT3 itself is not automotive-qualified, but its SZ-prefix variant (SZMMSZ5223BT3) is AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable. The base MMSZ5223BT3 shares identical electrical and thermal specifications, packaging, and construction-only differing in site control and change management for automotive production traceability.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for the MMSZ5223BT3?
The MMSZ5223BT3 specifies a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 0.25 µA at VR = 75 V and TA = 25°C. This value is explicitly listed in the "5% TOLERANCE FG ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS" table on page 3 of the datasheet and reflects worst-case leakage under high reverse bias.
How does thermal derating affect the MMSZ5223BT3's power dissipation?
The MMSZ5223BT3 is rated for 500 mW at TL = 75°C, with linear derating of 6.7 mW/°C above that temperature. At 100°C lead temperature, its usable power drops to 332.5 mW. This derating curve is defined in the "MAXIMUM RATINGS" table and must be applied to ensure junction temperature stays within −55°C to +150°C limits.
Is the MMSZ5223BT3 compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes-the MMSZ5223BT3 is Pb-free and rated for peak reflow temperatures up to 260°C for 10 seconds, fully compliant with J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 and RoHS requirements. Its thermosetting plastic case and corrosion-resistant finish ensure reliable solder joint formation without delamination or voiding.
