Product details
Overview
MMSZ5226BT3G from onsemi is a 3.3 V ±5% Zener diode in SOD−123 package, rated for 500 mW power dissipation at TL = 75°C, with 28 Ω maximum dynamic impedance at 20 mA test current and 0.25 µA leakage current at 1 V reverse bias - used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in low-power sensor interfaces and microcontroller reset circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MMSZ5226BT3G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal derating behavior, cathode/anode terminal mapping, automotive-grade AEC−Q101 qualification status, and direct alternatives for voltage regulation in space-constrained PCBs.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal silicon Zener diode, maintaining stable reverse breakdown voltage under controlled current conditions. Its 3.3 V nominal Zener voltage is specified with junction in thermal equilibrium at TL = 30°C ±1°C, and exhibits a temperature coefficient of +3.5 mV/°C (typical) across −55°C to +150°C.
The SOD−123 package enables automated placement and reflow soldering per JEDEC standards, with 260°C max soldering temperature for 10 seconds. Thermal resistance is 340°C/W (junction-to-ambient) and 150°C/W (junction-to-lead), supporting reliable operation in thermally dense layouts when mounted on FR−5 board.
Key Specifications

Applications
| Microcontroller Reset Circuit | Low-Power Sensor Reference |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Provides clean, stable 3.3 V reference to enable precise reset threshold detection in ARM Cortex-M0+ MCUs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener diode acting as shunt voltage reference for supervisor IC input or direct MCU VREF connection. Use Value: Ensures reset assertion within ±2% of 3.3 V across temperature, eliminating false resets due to supply ripple or cold-start droop. | Use Scenario: Supplies excitation voltage to analog-output temperature sensors (e.g., TMP36) in portable IoT nodes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision shunt regulator establishing fixed bias point independent of main supply variation. Use Value: Reduces sensor output error to <0.5% FS by minimizing reference drift - critical for sub-0.1°C measurement accuracy. |
| USB Port Overvoltage Clamp | Industrial PLC Input Protection |
Use Scenario: Limits transient voltage spikes on USB VBUS line during hot-plug events or ESD discharge. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-response shunt protector clamping peak voltage to ≤3.6 V before damage occurs to downstream USB PHY.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary clamping element in multi-stage TVS/Zener cascade, absorbing initial surge energy before MOV activation. Use Value: Withstands repeated 100 V/1 A transients per IEC 61000-4-4, extending maintenance intervals and reducing spurious fault alarms. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX584C3V3 | 3.3 V ±1% tolerance, 300 mW rating, SOD-323 package | Higher precision but lower power handling; smaller footprint limits thermal margin | Select when tighter voltage tolerance outweighs power derating needs in compact designs |
| MM3Z3V3T1G | 3.3 V ±5%, 300 mW, SOD-323, same manufacturer family | Lower power rating and higher ZZT (40 Ω) - less stable under dynamic loads | Choose only for legacy compatibility where board layout prohibits SOD−123 rework |
Compared with MMSZ5226BT3G, BZX584C3V3 offers superior voltage accuracy but reduced surge capability, while MM3Z3V3T1G shares the same tolerance and manufacturer but sacrifices 40% power headroom and increases impedance - making MMSZ5226BT3G optimal for thermally demanding, medium-current regulation tasks.

FAQ
What is the exact Zener voltage range for MMSZ5226BT3G at 25°C?
The MMSZ5226BT3G has a guaranteed Zener voltage range of 3.14 V to 3.47 V when measured at IZT = 20 mA and ambient temperature of 25°C. This ±5% tolerance is specified with the device junction in thermal equilibrium at TL = 30°C ±1°C, ensuring repeatability across production lots and operating conditions.
Is MMSZ5226BT3G qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, MMSZ5226BT3G is AEC−Q101 qualified and PPAP capable. It meets automotive reliability requirements including temperature cycling, humidity testing, and mechanical shock - making it suitable for non-safety-critical automotive functions such as infotainment power sequencing, lighting control references, and body electronics voltage monitoring.
What is the maximum allowable soldering temperature for MMSZ5226BT3G?
The maximum case temperature for soldering MMSZ5226BT3G is 260°C for up to 10 seconds, per the official onsemi datasheet. This limit applies to both wave and reflow processes and assumes compliance with JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 - no pre-bake required for dry-packed units.
How does thermal derating affect MMSZ5226BT3G's power handling above 75°C?
MMSZ5226BT3G's power dissipation linearly derates at 6.7 mW/°C above TL = 75°C. At 100°C lead temperature, its usable power drops to 332.5 mW (500 mW − (25°C × 6.7 mW/°C)), and at 125°C it falls to 167.5 mW - requiring careful thermal design in enclosed or high-ambient environments.
Can MMSZ5226BT3G be used as a forward-biased diode?
Yes, MMSZ5226BT3G can operate in forward conduction mode with VF ≤ 0.95 V at IF = 10 mA. Its forward characteristics are fully characterized and stable, enabling dual-use as both a Zener regulator and an ESD protection diode in bidirectional clamp circuits - confirmed by onsemi's published forward voltage curves.
