Product details
Overview
MMSZ5244ET1 from onsemi is a 14 V ±5% Zener diode in SOD-123 package, rated for 500 mW power dissipation at 75 °C on FR-5 board, with 9.0 mA test current (IZT), 15 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT), and 0.1 µA reverse leakage at 10 V (IR). It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in low-power analog and digital supply regulation circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MMSZ5244ET1 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this device is selected for stable 14 V reference generation in space-constrained PCBs where thermal derating, ESD robustness (>16 kV HBM), and AEC-Q101-compliant variants are critical.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain a stable voltage across its terminals under varying load and temperature conditions. Its 14 V nominal Zener voltage is specified at IZT = 9.0 mA with ±5% tolerance, and it exhibits a temperature coefficient near zero in the 12–18 V range per onsemi's typical TC curves.
The device features low dynamic impedance (15 Ω at IZT) and tight leakage control (0.1 µA max at VR = 10 V), enabling accurate clamping in signal conditioning and power rail protection. Its SOD-123 package supports automated placement and delivers 340 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on standard FR-5 boards.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 13.3–14.7 V @ IZT = 9.0 mA; ensures stable 14 V reference within ±5% tolerance under nominal bias |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 500 mW @ TL = 75 °C; supports continuous operation in compact layouts with controlled board thermal mass |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 15 Ω @ IZT = 9.0 mA; minimizes output voltage variation under dynamic load changes |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.1 µA @ VR = 10 V; prevents excessive quiescent current in high-impedance bias networks |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV HBM); withstands handling and assembly without protection circuitry |
| Junction Temp Range | −55 °C to +150 °C; suitable for automotive under-hood and industrial ambient environments |

|---|---|
Use Scenario: Stabilizing ADC reference voltage in 24 V-powered temperature/humidity sensors operating from unregulated rails. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener voltage reference providing fixed 14 V bias to op-amp gain stages and ADC reference buffers. Use Value: Tight 14 V ±5% tolerance and low ZZT ensure <0.5% reference error across −40 °C to +105 °C ambient. |
Use Scenario: Clamping transient spikes on 12 V battery-supplied microcontroller I/O lines during load dump events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Overvoltage protection element shunting surge energy above 14 V to ground before IC damage occurs. Use Value: 225 W peak surge rating (8 × 20 µs) and 16 kV HBM ESD rating enable single-device transient suppression without TVS co-location. |
| Low-Power IoT Node Voltage Reference | Consumer Audio DC Bias Network |

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-C15LT1G | 15 V nominal (14.3–15.7 V), 300 mW rating, SOT-23 package, 30 Ω ZZT @ 5 mA | Higher voltage tolerance and lower power limit reduce margin in 14 V reference designs; smaller SOT-23 footprint limits thermal capacity | Select when board space is constrained and 15 V target suffices; verify thermal derating at 75 °C ambient |
| MMBZ5244ET1G | Identical electrical specs (14 V, 9 mA IZT, 15 Ω ZZT), same SOD-123 package, but in SOT-23-compatible tape-and-reel format | No functional difference; identical performance and layout compatibility-only packaging logistics differ | Prefer for high-volume SMT line integration where reel orientation or carrier tape compliance is required |
Compared with BZX84-C15LT1G and MMBZ5244ET1G, the MMSZ5244ET1 offers superior thermal capability (500 mW vs. 300 mW), tighter impedance (15 Ω vs. 30 Ω), and direct drop-in compatibility with legacy SOD-123 footprints-making it optimal for thermally demanding or precision-critical 14 V reference roles.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the MMSZ5244ET1?
The MMSZ5244ET1 has a nominal Zener voltage of 14 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%, resulting in a guaranteed range of 13.3 V to 14.7 V when measured at IZT = 9.0 mA and TL = 30 °C ±1 °C. This tolerance is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 2 of the official onsemi datasheet.
Does the MMSZ5244ET1 meet automotive qualification standards?
The MMSZ5244ET1 itself is not AEC-Q101 qualified; however, its SZ-prefix variant-SZMMSZ5244ET1G-is explicitly certified for automotive use and PPAP capable. Engineers requiring automotive-grade assurance must specify the SZ version, which shares identical electrical parameters and SOD-123 packaging.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for the MMSZ5244ET1?
The MMSZ5244ET1 specifies a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 0.1 µA at VR = 10 V and TA = 25 °C. This value is verified in the Electrical Characteristics table and supports low-power bias network designs where leakage-induced error must remain below 1 µA.
Can the MMSZ5244ET1 be used in pulse-clamping applications?
Yes-the MMSZ5244ET1 supports nonrepetitive surge pulses up to 225 W (8 × 20 µs waveform) per Figure 11 in the datasheet. Its ability to absorb transient energy makes it suitable for short-duration overvoltage clamping, provided average power remains within the 500 mW derated limit.
Is the MMSZ5244ET1 RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes-the "G" suffix in the full part number MMSZ5244ET1G indicates Pb-free construction, and the device complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. The base part number MMSZ5244ET1 refers to the same Pb-free device; the "G" is included in ordering codes to denote compliance per onsemi's packaging nomenclature.
