Product details
Overview
MMSZ5235BT3G from onsemi is a 500 mW, 6.8 V ±5% Zener diode in SOD−123 surface-mount package, designed for precision voltage regulation and reference applications at thermal equilibrium (TL = 30°C ±1°C). It delivers 5 mA test current (IZT), 750 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT), 3 µA reverse leakage at 5 V (IR), and operates across −55°C to +150°C junction temperature range. It is used in power supply feedback loops, overvoltage protection circuits, and analog reference design.
For engineers reviewing the MMSZ5235BT3G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its 6.8 V nominal Zener voltage with ±5% tolerance, 500 mW power rating on FR-5 board, 750 Ω Zener impedance at 5 mA, cathode-anode polarity marking, and Pb-free SOD−123 package compatibility with automated assembly.
Technical Context
The MMSZ5235BT3G functions as a two-terminal, silicon planar Zener diode operating in reverse breakdown mode. Its Zener voltage is specified under thermal equilibrium conditions (TL = 30°C ±1°C), ensuring stable regulation during steady-state bias. The device exhibits a typical temperature coefficient near zero at 6.8 V, minimizing drift across −55°C to +150°C.
It supports 5 mA Zener test current (IZT) and maintains low dynamic impedance (750 Ω) at that point, enabling effective noise suppression and tight regulation in low-power reference paths. Reverse leakage remains ≤3 µA at 5 V (VR), supporting high-impedance sensing and battery-backed circuits.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX584C6V8 | 6.8 V ±1%, 300 mW, SOD-323 package, 100 Ω ZZT @ 5 mA | Higher precision and lower impedance but lower power rating and smaller package | Select when tighter voltage tolerance and lower noise are critical, and power dissipation stays below 300 mW |
| MMBZ5235BS | 6.8 V ±5%, 350 mW, SOT-23 package, 750 Ω ZZT @ 5 mA | Same Zener spec but lower power rating and different footprint requiring PCB redesign | Choose only if SOT-23 is already standardized in the design and thermal margin allows 350 mW operation |
Compared with BZX584C6V8 and MMBZ5235BS, the MMSZ5235BT3G offers the highest power handling (500 mW) in the SOD−123 form factor while maintaining identical Zener voltage tolerance and impedance-making it optimal for space-constrained yet thermally demanding regulation tasks.

FAQ
What is the nominal Zener voltage and tolerance of the MMSZ5235BT3G?
The MMSZ5235BT3G has a nominal Zener voltage of 6.8 V with a ±5% tolerance, meaning its actual breakdown voltage falls between 6.46 V and 7.14 V when measured at IZT = 5 mA and under 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 onsemi datasheet for MMSZ5235BT3G.
What package type and dimensions does the MMSZ5235BT3G use?
The MMSZ5235BT3G uses the SOD−123 surface-mount package (Case 425, Style 1), measuring 1.60 mm × 2.69 mm × 1.16 mm. It features a cathode band marking and is Pb-free and RoHS-compliant. This package is optimized for automated board assembly and supports reflow soldering up to 260°C for 10 seconds, as documented in the mechanical drawings on page 6 of the MMSZ5235BT3G datasheet.
What is the maximum power dissipation and thermal derating behavior of the MMSZ5235BT3G?
The MMSZ5235BT3G is rated for 500 mW total power dissipation on an FR-5 board at lead temperature (TL) = 75°C, with linear derating of 6.7 mW/°C above that temperature. Its thermal resistance from junction-to-ambient (RJA) is 340°C/W, and junction-to-lead (RJL) is 150°C/W. These values are specified in the "MAXIMUM RATINGS" table on page 1 of the MMSZ5235BT3G datasheet.
How does the MMSZ5235BT3G perform in terms of reverse leakage and dynamic impedance?
The MMSZ5235BT3G exhibits ≤3 µA reverse leakage current (IR) at 5 V reverse bias and a maximum dynamic impedance (ZZT) of 750 Ω at IZT = 5 mA. These parameters ensure minimal loading error in high-impedance reference paths and acceptable AC regulation performance. Both values are verified in the "5% TOLERANCE FG ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS" table on page 3 of the MMSZ5235BT3G datasheet.
Is the MMSZ5235BT3G suitable for automotive applications?
Yes-the MMSZ5235BT3G is available in an automotive-grade variant (SZMMSZ5235BT3G) that is AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable. While the standard MMSZ5235BT3G shares identical electrical and mechanical specs, only the SZ-prefix version is formally certified for automotive use. Designers targeting automotive applications should specify SZMMSZ5235BT3G to ensure compliance, as noted in the "Features" section on page 1 of the MMSZ5235BT3G datasheet.
