Product details
Overview
MMSZ5223ET1 from onsemi is a 2.7 V ±5% Zener diode in SOD-123 package, rated for 500 mW power dissipation at 75 °C on FR-5 board, with 20 mA test current, 1300 Ω maximum dynamic impedance at IZT, and 0.25 µA leakage current at 75 V reverse bias - used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in low-power analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MMSZ5223ET1 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified electrical specs, thermal derating behavior, cathode/anode terminal mapping, SOD-123 mechanical dimensions, and direct alternatives for voltage regulation in space-constrained PCBs.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal silicon Zener diode with sharp reverse breakdown at nominal 2.7 V, designed for stable DC voltage clamping and reference generation in linear regulators, sensor biasing, and ADC reference circuits. Its 1300 Ω dynamic impedance at 20 mA ensures predictable regulation under moderate load variation.
Thermal performance is defined by 340 °C/W junction-to-ambient resistance and 150 °C/W junction-to-lead resistance, enabling reliable operation up to +150 °C junction temperature. The SOD-123 package supports automated placement and reflow soldering at 260 °C for 10 seconds.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|

| Power Dissipation (PD) | 500 mW at TL = 75 °C - sets maximum continuous power handling on standard FR-5 PCB without heatsinking |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | ≤1300 Ω at IZT = 20 mA - indicates regulation stability under small-signal AC ripple conditions |
| Leakage Current (IR) | ≤0.25 µA at VR = 75 V - ensures minimal standby current draw in high-impedance bias networks |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV HBM) - allows safe handling during manual assembly and board-level ESD events |
| Peak Surge Power | 225 W (8 × 20 µs pulse) - provides transient overvoltage suppression capability against short-duration spikes |

Applications
| Low-Voltage Reference Source | Overvoltage Clamp for 3.3 V Logic |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Providing stable 2.7 V reference for ADC input scaling or op-amp biasing in battery-powered IoT sensors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Two-terminal passive voltage reference element establishing fixed potential relative to ground. Use Value: Delivers <2.5% total error across −55 °C to +125 °C ambient due to tight 2.7 V ±5% tolerance and low TC. | Use Scenario: Protecting microcontroller GPIO pins from accidental 5 V misconnection or ESD-induced transients on 3.3 V I/O lines. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Shunt clamping device that conducts above 2.84 V to limit voltage excursion. Use Value: Limits peak voltage to ≤2.84 V with <1300 Ω dynamic impedance, preventing latch-up or oxide damage. |
| Linear Regulator Feedback Divider | Temperature-Stable Bias Network |
Use Scenario: Replacing top resistor in TL431-based adjustable LDO feedback network to reduce component count and improve accuracy. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision Zener element setting reference voltage at error amplifier input. Use Value: Eliminates need for matched resistor divider; achieves ±5% output regulation without calibration. | Use Scenario: Biasing base-emitter junction of PNP transistor in temperature-compensated current source for analog front-ends. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Stable voltage reference defining emitter-base voltage drop independent of supply variation. Use Value: Maintains <1% current drift over −40 °C to +85 °C due to low Zener voltage temperature coefficient near zero-crossing point. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX584C2V7 | 2.7 V ±5%, 300 mW rating, SOD-323 package (1.7 × 1.25 × 0.95 mm) | Lower power handling; smaller footprint but higher thermal resistance (450 °C/W) | Select when board area is critical and continuous power <300 mW suffices |
| MMBZ5223BS | 2.7 V ±5%, 350 mW rating, SOT-23 package (2.9 × 1.3 × 1.0 mm), 3-terminal configuration | Includes anode/cathode/substrate terminals; requires different layout and offers better thermal dissipation than SOD-123 | Select when higher reliability under thermal cycling or need for substrate isolation is required |
Compared with BZX584C2V7 and MMBZ5223BS, the MMSZ5223ET1 offers superior power handling (500 mW vs. 300/350 mW) and lower thermal resistance (340 °C/W) in a widely adopted SOD-123 footprint, making it optimal for general-purpose voltage clamping where board space permits standard 2.7 V Zener performance.

FAQ
What is the nominal Zener voltage and tolerance of MMSZ5223ET1?
The MMSZ5223ET1 has a nominal Zener voltage of 2.7 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%, meaning its actual breakdown voltage falls between 2.57 V and 2.84 V when tested at 20 mA reverse current and 25 °C ambient temperature. This tolerance is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 2 of the official onsemi datasheet for MMSZ5223ET1G.
What is the maximum power dissipation of MMSZ5223ET1 and how does it derate with temperature?
MMSZ5223ET1 is rated for 500 mW total power dissipation at a lead temperature (TL) of 75 °C on FR-5 board. Above 75 °C, it derates linearly at 6.7 mW/°C, reaching zero dissipation at approximately 149 °C. This derating curve is defined in the Maximum Ratings table and Figure 3 of the MMSZ5223ET1 datasheet.
Is MMSZ5223ET1 RoHS-compliant and what packaging format is available?
Yes, MMSZ5223ET1 is Pb-Free and RoHS-compliant, indicated by the "G" suffix in its full orderable part number MMSZ5223ET1G. It is supplied in tape-and-reel format with 3,000 units per reel, compatible with standard SMD pick-and-place equipment. The SOD-123 package meets UL 94 V-0 flammability standards.
What is the Zener impedance of MMSZ5223ET1 and why does it matter?
The MMSZ5223ET1 exhibits a maximum Zener impedance (ZZT) of 1300 Ω at 20 mA test current and 1 kHz AC signal. This value reflects how tightly the device maintains its breakdown voltage under varying load or ripple conditions - lower impedance means better regulation stability, especially in analog reference or feedback applications where voltage precision is critical.
How is polarity identified on the MMSZ5223ET1 SOD-123 package?
MMSZ5223ET1 uses a cathode band marking on the SOD-123 body to identify Pin 1 (cathode); the unmarked end is the anode (Pin 2). This polarity marking aligns with JEDEC standard SOD-123 mechanical drawings and is visible under standard optical inspection - correct orientation is essential to ensure proper reverse-bias operation during circuit design and assembly.
