Product details
Overview
MMSZ5245CT1G from onsemi is a 15 V ±2% Zener diode in SOD−123 package, rated for 500 mW power dissipation on FR−5 board at 75°C, with 8.5 mA test current (IZT), 16 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT), and 0.1 µA reverse leakage at 11 V (VR). It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in low-power analog signal conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MMSZ5245CT1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its tight 2% Zener tolerance, low 16 Ω impedance at 8.5 mA, 150°C junction temperature rating, ESD robustness (>16 kV HBM), and Pb−free SOD−123 surface-mount compatibility with automated assembly.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal silicon Zener diode optimized for stable reverse-biased voltage regulation under thermal equilibrium conditions (TL = 30°C ±1°C). Its Zener voltage is specified with junction in thermal equilibrium, not transient self-heating.
The MMSZ5245CT1G exhibits a nominal temperature coefficient of +8.5 mV/°C near 15 V, enabling predictable drift compensation in reference designs. Its 150°C maximum junction temperature and 340°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance define thermal derating behavior above 75°C ambient.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 14.7 V to 15.3 V @ IZT = 8.5 mA - tight 2% tolerance enables accurate voltage referencing without trimming. |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 500 mW @ TL = 75°C - supports stable operation in compact PCB layouts with defined thermal land pattern. |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 16 Ω @ IZT = 8.5 mA - low dynamic impedance ensures minimal output voltage variation under load changes. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.1 µA @ VR = 11 V - ultra-low leakage preserves battery life and signal integrity in high-impedance bias networks. |
| Junction Temperature | −55°C to +150°C - qualified for automotive under-hood and industrial control environments. |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV) per HBM - withstands handling and board-level ESD events without parameter shift. |
| Package | SOD−123 (Case 425) - 1.60 × 2.69 × 1.16 mm footprint enables high-density routing and reflow compatibility. |
Pinout & Package
SOD−123 surface-mount plastic package with cathode indicated by polarity band; 2-terminal device with no internal connections beyond anode and cathode.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Cathode) | Zener voltage reference node | Connected to regulated output or voltage sense point; polarity band identifies this terminal for correct orientation during placement. |
| 2 (Anode) | Reference ground return path | Typically tied to system ground or lower-potential rail; completes Zener conduction path during reverse breakdown. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX584C15 | 15 V ±5%, SOD-323 package, 300 mW rating, 30 Ω ZZT @ 5 mA | Higher impedance and wider tolerance reduce reference accuracy in precision analog circuits | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs 2% tolerance requirement and board space allows larger SOD-323 footprint |
| MMSZ4702T1G | 15 V ±5%, SOD-123 package, 500 mW rating, 30 Ω ZZT @ 10 mA, 1 µA IR @ 12 V | Looser tolerance and higher leakage limit use in low-power, non-critical biasing only | Choose for legacy designs where BOM rationalization favors same-series 5% variants with identical thermal performance |
Compared with MMSZ5245CT1G, BZX584C15 offers smaller size but sacrifices 2% tolerance and low-impedance regulation, while MMSZ4702T1G matches the SOD-123 package and power rating but trades precision and leakage performance for cost and availability.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of MMSZ5245CT1G?
The MMSZ5245CT1G has a ±2% Zener voltage tolerance, meaning its reverse breakdown voltage is guaranteed between 14.7 V and 15.3 V when measured at IZT = 8.5 mA and under thermal equilibrium conditions (TL = 30°C ±1°C). This tighter tolerance than the 5% MMSZ52xxBT1G series makes MMSZ5245CT1G suitable for precision reference applications where calibration overhead must be minimized.
What is the maximum power dissipation for MMSZ5245CT1G on a standard PCB?
MMSZ5245CT1G is rated for 500 mW total power dissipation on FR−5 board at TL = 75°C, with linear derating of 6.7 mW/°C above that temperature. Its thermal resistance junction-to-ambient is 340°C/W, so actual safe operating power depends on PCB copper area, airflow, and adjacent heat sources-designers must verify thermal performance using the specified minimum footprint per the datasheet.
Does MMSZ5245CT1G meet automotive qualification standards?
Yes-MMSZ5245CT1G is AEC−Q101 qualified and PPAP capable when ordered with the SZ prefix (e.g., SZMMSZ5245CT1G). The base MMSZ5245CT1G variant is manufactured to the same process and testing flow but lacks formal automotive documentation; for automotive production, specify the SZ-prefixed part to ensure full compliance traceability.
How does the Zener impedance of MMSZ5245CT1G affect voltage regulation stability?
MMSZ5245CT1G has a maximum Zener impedance (ZZT) of 16 Ω at IZT = 8.5 mA, which directly determines how much its output voltage varies with changes in Zener current. A lower ZZT means less voltage droop under increasing load or better rejection of ripple-this value enables stable 15 V references even with ±1 mA current fluctuations, critical for high-resolution ADC biasing.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for MMSZ5245CT1G?
MMSZ5245CT1G specifies a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 0.1 µA at VR = 11 V and TA = 25°C. This ultra-low leakage ensures minimal error in high-impedance voltage divider networks and preserves battery runtime in always-on IoT nodes-performance verified across the full −55°C to +150°C junction temperature range per datasheet Figure 8.
