Product details
Overview
MMSZ5252BT1 from onsemi is a 24 V ±5% Zener diode in SOD−123 surface-mount package, rated for 500 mW power dissipation at 75°C ambient, with 5.2 mA test current (IZT), 33 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT), and 0.1 µA reverse leakage at 18 V (VR). It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in low-power analog sensor signal conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MMSZ5252BT1 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal derating behavior, cathode/anode terminal roles, SOD−123 mechanical dimensions, and direct alternative options for voltage regulation in space-constrained PCBs.
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse-biased Zener breakdown mode with junction temperature stabilized at TL = 30°C ±1°C during VZ measurement. Its 24 V nominal Zener voltage exhibits a positive temperature coefficient above 5 V, confirmed by typical TC curves in Figure 1 of the datasheet.
The 500 mW rating applies to FR−5 board with minimum footprint; derating begins at 6.7 mW/°C above 75°C ambient. Thermal resistance from junction-to-lead is 150 °C/W, enabling reliable operation up to +150°C junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 22.8 V min / 24 V nom / 25.2 V max @ IZT = 5.2 mA - defines stable regulation window under thermal equilibrium |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 500 mW @ TL = 75°C - sets maximum continuous DC power on standard FR−5 PCB |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 600 Ω max @ IZK = 0.25 mA; 33 Ω @ IZT = 5.2 mA - determines output voltage stability under load variation |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.1 µA max @ VR = 18 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in standby voltage-sense circuits |
| Junction Temp Range | −55°C to +150°C - supports industrial and automotive under-hood applications without derating |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV HBM) - eliminates need for external ESD protection in I/O line clamping |

|---|---|---|---|
| BZX584C24 | 24 V ±5%, 300 mW rating, SOD-323 package (1.3 × 1.7 × 1.1 mm) | Lower power handling requires series resistor in >10 mA loads; smaller footprint saves area but reduces thermal mass | Select when board space is critical and peak current stays below 12 mA |
| MMSZ5252CT1G | 24 V ±2%, identical 500 mW rating and SOD−123 package | Tighter tolerance improves reference accuracy in precision feedback loops but increases cost | Select when voltage threshold repeatability must be within ±0.48 V across production lots |
Compared with MMSZ5252BT1, BZX584C24 trades thermal robustness for miniaturization, while MMSZ5252CT1G delivers higher regulation precision at no package or layout change-making it a drop-in upgrade where accuracy outweighs cost sensitivity.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for MMSZ5252BT1?
The MMSZ5252BT1 has a ±5% tolerance on its nominal 24 V Zener voltage, meaning the actual measured VZ falls between 22.8 V and 25.2 V when tested at IZT = 5.2 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 onsemi datasheet for MMSZ5252BT1.
Can MMSZ5252BT1 be used in automotive applications?
Yes, the MMSZ5252BT1 is qualified to AEC−Q101 standards and PPAP capable when ordered with the SZ prefix (e.g., SZMMSZ5252BT1G), confirming suitability for automotive cabin control modules, body electronics, and under-hood sensors. The base MMSZ5252BT1 meets all electrical and thermal specs required for non-safety-critical automotive use, including operation from −55°C to +150°C junction temperature.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for MMSZ5252BT1?
The maximum reverse leakage current (IR) for MMSZ5252BT1 is 0.1 µA at VR = 18 V and TA = 25°C, as specified in the "5% TOLERANCE FG ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS" table. This low leakage ensures minimal power loss in always-on voltage-monitoring circuits and preserves battery life in low-duty-cycle IoT nodes using MMSZ5252BT1 as a reference.
How does thermal derating affect MMSZ5252BT1's power capability?
MMSZ5252BT1 is rated for 500 mW at TL = 75°C; above that ambient temperature, power must be reduced by 6.7 mW per °C, per the "MAXIMUM RATINGS" table. At 105°C board temperature, its usable power drops to 283 mW. This linear derating curve is validated in Figure 3 ("Steady State Power Derating") of the MMSZ5252BT1 datasheet and must be applied in enclosed or high-ambient environments.
Is MMSZ5252BT1 compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes, MMSZ5252BT1 is Pb-free and rated for peak reflow temperatures up to 260°C for 10 seconds, complying with IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1. Its void-free transfer-molded plastic case and corrosion-resistant finish ensure reliable solder joint formation in standard lead-free reflow profiles-no special prebake or nitrogen atmosphere is required for MMSZ5252BT1 assembly.
