Product details
Overview
MMSZ5240ET1G from onsemi is a 10 V ±5% Zener diode in SOD-123 package, rated for 500 mW power dissipation at 75 °C on FR-5 board, with 17 Ω dynamic impedance at 20 mA test current and 3 µA leakage at 8 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 MMSZ5240ET1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, thermal derating behavior, junction-to-lead thermal resistance, ESD robustness (Class 3 HBM >16 kV), and SOD-123 footprint compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable voltage regulation across varying load currents. Its 17 Ω Zener impedance at IZT = 20 mA ensures minimal voltage deviation under moderate dynamic loads, while its 600 Ω impedance at IZK = 0.25 mA supports low-current biasing applications.
The SOD-123 package provides a thermally optimized path with RJL = 150 °C/W, enabling reliable operation up to +150 °C junction temperature. Its cathode-band polarity marking and Pb-free construction comply with RoHS and AEC-Q101 requirements when specified as SZMMSZ5240ET1G.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 9.50–10.50 V at IZT = 20 mA; ±5% tolerance enables use in 10 V reference designs without post-calibration. |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 500 mW at TL = 75 °C on FR-5 board; derates linearly at 6.7 mW/°C above 75 °C for thermal design margining. |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 17 Ω max at IZT = 20 mA; ensures <±0.34 V output shift for ±5.8 mA load variation near regulation point. |
| Leakage Current (IR) | 3 µA max at VR = 8 V; guarantees negligible standby current draw in battery-powered voltage monitor circuits. |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV) per HBM; withstands handling and assembly without external protection in non-automotive environments. |
| Junction Temp Range | −55 °C to +150 °C; supports industrial and extended-temperature embedded control applications. |
Pinout & Package

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Banded End) | Cathode | Connected to regulated voltage node; reverse-biased during Zener operation; must be held at higher potential than anode. |
| 2 (Non-banded End) | Anode | Connected to circuit ground or lower-potential rail; completes current path during regulation or clamping. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 500 mW Power Rating | Enables stable 10 V reference generation in space-constrained DC-DC feedback networks without forced air or 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX584C10 | 10 V ±5%, 300 mW rating, SOD-323 package, 20 Ω ZZT at 5 mA. | Lower power rating and smaller package limit thermal headroom in sustained 10 mA loads. | Select when board area is constrained and average power <150 mW; verify thermal relief pad design for SOD-323. |
| MMBZ5240ELT1G | 10 V ±5%, 350 mW rating, SOT-23 package, 22 Ω ZZT at 20 mA, same manufacturer. | Larger SOT-23 footprint and higher ZZT reduce regulation accuracy in precision references. | Choose only if existing SOT-23 layout prohibits SOD-123 rework; expect ~0.15 V higher voltage deviation at full load. |
Compared with BZX584C10 and MMBZ5240ELT1G, the MMSZ5240ET1G delivers superior thermal performance (500 mW vs ≤350 mW), tighter ZZT, and proven suitability for high-reliability industrial PCB assemblies using standard SOD-123 land patterns.

FAQ
What is the nominal Zener voltage of the MMSZ5240ET1G and how is it tested?
The MMSZ5240ET1G has a nominal Zener voltage of 10 V, with a guaranteed range of 9.50 V to 10.50 V at a test current of 20 mA (IZT). This value is measured with the device junction in thermal equilibrium at lead temperature TL = 30 °C ±1 °C, per onsemi's Electrical Characteristics table on page 2 of the official datasheet. The MMSZ5240ET1G maintains this specification across its full operating temperature range.
Does the MMSZ5240ET1G meet automotive qualification standards?
The base MMSZ5240ET1G is not automotive-qualified, but its automotive-grade variant SZMMSZ5240ET1G is AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable. The SZ-prefix version undergoes additional site-specific controls and change management, making it suitable for body electronics and infotainment systems. For non-automotive applications, the MMSZ5240ET1G remains fully compliant with industrial reliability requirements.
What is the maximum allowable reverse leakage current for the MMSZ5240ET1G?
The MMSZ5240ET1G specifies a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 3 µA at a reverse voltage (VR) of 8 V and ambient temperature of 25 °C. This low leakage ensures minimal parasitic loading in high-impedance reference or monitoring circuits. At higher temperatures or voltages, leakage increases predictably per Figure 8 in the datasheet, but remains within design-safe margins for most 10 V regulation tasks.
Can the MMSZ5240ET1G be used in place of older MMSZ5240BT1G parts?
Yes - the MMSZ5240ET1G replaces the obsolete MMSZ5240BT1G with identical electrical specifications, SOD-123 mechanical form factor, and enhanced Pb-free compliance. Key improvements include updated thermal resistance characterization (RJL = 150 °C/W), tighter process control, and Class 3 HBM ESD rating. No PCB layout or schematic changes are required when upgrading from MMSZ5240BT1G to MMSZ5240ET1G.
How does the thermal derating curve affect practical power handling of the MMSZ5240ET1G?
The MMSZ5240ET1G is rated for 500 mW at lead temperature (TL) = 75 °C on FR-5 board, derating linearly at 6.7 mW/°C above that point. At 100 °C TL, usable power drops to ~333 mW; at 125 °C, it falls to ~167 mW. Designers must calculate actual TL using RJL = 150 °C/W and expected power dissipation to ensure junction temperature stays below +150 °C - critical for long-term reliability in enclosed industrial enclosures.
