Product details
Overview
MMSZ5228BT1 from ON Semiconductor is a 500 mW, ±5% tolerance Zener diode in SOD−123 package with nominal reverse breakdown voltage of 3.9 V at 20 mA test current, 23 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, and 10 µA leakage current at 10 V reverse bias-used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in low-power analog sensor interfaces and microcontroller reset circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MMSZ5228BT1 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 with controlled reverse-biased avalanche breakdown, specified under thermal equilibrium conditions (TL = 30°C ±1°C). Its 3.9 V nominal Zener voltage exhibits a positive temperature coefficient near zero crossing, enabling stable reference generation across −55°C to +150°C junction range.
Designed for surface-mount assembly on FR−4/FR−5 boards, it delivers 500 mW power dissipation at TL = 75°C with 6.7 mW/°C linear derating above that point. Thermal resistance from junction-to-ambient is 340°C/W, confirming suitability for low-power, thermally isolated node regulation without heatsinking.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C3V9 | Same 3.9 V nominal Zener, but SOT-23 package (larger footprint, higher RJA = 375°C/W), 600 mW PD rating | Higher power handling but less suitable for ultra-dense layouts; requires larger PCB area | Select when board layout allows SOT-23 and thermal margin exceeds 500 mW |
| MMSZ4685 | 3.9 V Zener in identical SOD−123 package, but ±5% tolerance and 20 Ω ZZT @ 20 mA (slightly lower impedance) | Direct form-fit replacement with improved regulation stiffness; same thermal profile and footprint | Prefer for new designs requiring tighter regulation error under variable load current |
Compared with MMSZ5228BT1, BZX84-C3V9 offers higher power headroom but sacrifices board density, while MMSZ4685 provides identical packaging with marginally better dynamic impedance-making it ideal for noise-sensitive analog references where layout space is constrained.

FAQ
What is the exact Zener voltage tolerance for MMSZ5228BT1?
The MMSZ5228BT1 has a guaranteed ±5% tolerance on its nominal 3.9 V Zener voltage, meaning the actual measured value falls between 3.71 V and 4.10 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 ON Semiconductor datasheet for MMSZ5228BT1.
Does MMSZ5228BT1 meet automotive qualification standards?
Yes, MMSZ5228BT1 is AEC−Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, as explicitly stated in the "Features" section of the datasheet. The SZ-prefix variant (SZMMSZ5228BT1G) is designated for automotive use, but the standard MMSZ5228BT1 shares the same die and qualification-making it suitable for automotive body electronics, infotainment, and ADAS subsystems requiring certified reliability.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for MMSZ5228BT1 at 10 V bias?
The maximum reverse leakage current for MMSZ5228BT1 is 10 µA at VR = 10 V, as specified in the "5% TOLERANCE FG ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS" table. This low leakage ensures minimal standby power draw in always-on circuits such as microcontroller reset supervisors and battery voltage monitors where MMSZ5228BT1 serves as a precision reference element.
Can MMSZ5228BT1 be used in place of MMSZ5228BT1G?
Yes-MMSZ5228BT1 and MMSZ5228BT1G are functionally identical except for Pb-free compliance: the "G" suffix denotes RoHS-compliant packaging, while MMSZ5228BT1 (without G) is legacy non-Pb-free. Both share identical electrical specs, SOD−123 package, thermal ratings, and marking (D3). For new designs, MMSZ5228BT1G is preferred; MMSZ5228BT1 remains viable where legacy compliance is acceptable.
What is the thermal resistance from junction-to-lead (RJL) for MMSZ5228BT1?
The thermal resistance from junction-to-lead (RJL) for MMSZ5228BT1 is 150°C/W, as listed in the "MAXIMUM RATINGS" table. This parameter reflects heat transfer efficiency from the silicon die to the PCB copper via the leads, supporting thermal modeling for designs where localized heating must remain below 150°C junction temperature under 500 mW dissipation on FR−5 board.
