Product details
Overview
MMSZ5226ET1G from onsemi is a 3.3 V ±5% Zener diode in SOD-123 package, rated for 500 mW power dissipation at 75 °C on FR-5 board, with 28 Ω dynamic impedance at 20 mA test current and 0.25 μA leakage current at 25 V reverse bias. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in low-power analog and digital supply rails.
For engineers reviewing the MMSZ5226ET1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include nominal Zener voltage tolerance, thermal derating behavior, junction-to-lead thermal resistance, ESD robustness (Class 3 HBM >16 kV), and SOD-123 footprint compatibility with automated assembly.
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable voltage regulation under varying load and temperature conditions. Its Zener impedance of 28 Ω at IZT = 20 mA and 1600 Ω at IZK = 0.25 mA defines its regulation fidelity across current range, while thermal resistance RJL = 150 °C/W enables predictable junction temperature rise during transient surges.
The MMSZ5226ET1G exhibits a negative temperature coefficient typical of low-voltage Zeners (~−2 mV/°C near 3.3 V), requiring attention in wide-temperature designs. Its 225 W nonrepetitive peak surge rating (8 × 20 μs) supports transient suppression in low-energy circuits without external series limiting.
Key Specifications

| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 28 Ω @ IZT = 20 mA - AC resistance determining voltage stability under small-signal load variation |
| Leakage Current (IR) | 0.25 μA @ VR = 25 V - ensures minimal quiescent current draw below breakdown threshold |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV) per HBM - qualifies for handling in standard electrostatic protected areas without special precautions |

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-C3V3 | Same 3.3 V nominal Zener voltage, but 350 mW rating and SOD-323 package (smaller footprint, higher thermal resistance) | Lower power handling limits use in sustained clamp scenarios; preferred only where board area is critical | Select BZX584-C3V3 only when SOD-323 footprint is mandated and peak power remains <350 mW |
| MMBZ5226ET1G | Identical electrical specs and SOD-123 package, but offered in 3 kpcs tape-and-reel vs. 10 kpcs for MMSZ5226ET1G | No functional difference; identical performance and layout compatibility | MMBZ5226ET1G is a direct form-fit-function alternative with same thermal and electrical behavior |
Compared with BZX584-C3V3 and MMBZ5226ET1G, the MMSZ5226ET1G offers superior thermal capability (500 mW vs. 350 mW) and standardized high-volume packaging, making it optimal for production-scale power-sensitive designs requiring long-term reliability.

FAQ
What is the nominal Zener voltage and tolerance of the MMSZ5226ET1G?
The MMSZ5226ET1G has a nominal Zener voltage of 3.3 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%, resulting in a guaranteed range of 3.14 V to 3.47 V at 20 mA test current and 25 °C ambient. This tolerance is specified per onsemi's datasheet revision 10 and applies across the full operating temperature range when used within thermal limits.
What is the maximum power dissipation for MMSZ5226ET1G on a standard PCB?
The MMSZ5226ET1G is rated for 500 mW total power dissipation on an FR-5 board at lead temperature (TL) = 75 °C, derating linearly at 6.7 mW/°C above that point. This rating assumes use of the minimum recommended footprint per onsemi's mechanical drawing CASE 425 STYLE 1.
Does MMSZ5226ET1G have automotive qualification?
The MMSZ5226ET1G itself is not AEC-Q101 qualified; however, the SZMMSZ5226ET1G variant (with SZ prefix) is AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable. Engineers requiring automotive-grade assurance must specify the SZ-prefixed part number, as the standard MMSZ5226ET1G is intended for industrial and commercial applications.
What is the Zener impedance of MMSZ5226ET1G and why does it matter?
The MMSZ5226ET1G has a maximum Zener impedance (ZZT) of 28 Ω at IZT = 20 mA, measured with 1 kHz AC signal at 0.1× DC bias. This value determines how tightly the device maintains its regulated voltage under changing load current-lower impedance yields better regulation stability in precision reference applications.
Can MMSZ5226ET1G be used for ESD protection in USB 2.0 data lines?
No-MMSZ5226ET1G is not suitable for high-speed data line ESD protection due to its relatively high capacitance (typ. >100 pF at 0 V bias) and slow response compared to purpose-built TVS diodes. It is designed for DC voltage regulation and low-frequency clamping, not signal integrity preservation on differential data paths.
