For engineers reviewing the MMSZ5252CT1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal derating behavior, cathode/anode terminal roles, automotive-grade AEC−Q101 qualification status, and direct alternatives for voltage reference design.
Technical Context
The MMSZ5252CT1G operates as a two-terminal silicon Zener diode optimized for stable reverse-biased voltage clamping and reference generation. Its 24 V nominal Zener voltage is specified under thermal equilibrium conditions (TL = 30°C ±1°C) with ±2% tolerance, ensuring tight regulation across production lots.
It exhibits 33 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT = 5.2 mA and 18 V reverse bias, enabling low-noise reference performance in feedback networks. The device supports ESD robustness to Class 3 (>16 kV HBM) and meets AEC−Q101 requirements for automotive applications.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the MMSZ5252CT1G?
The MMSZ5252CT1G has a ±2% Zener voltage tolerance, meaning its nominal 24 V Zener voltage is guaranteed between 23.52 V and 24.48 V at IZT = 5.2 mA and thermal equilibrium (TL = 30°C ±1°C). This tighter tolerance than the "B" suffix variants enables higher-accuracy voltage references in precision analog designs without calibration.
Does the MMSZ5252CT1G meet automotive qualification standards?
Yes, the MMSZ5252CT1G is AEC−Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, confirming its suitability for automotive applications such as body control modules and infotainment power supplies. It undergoes rigorous stress testing including temperature cycling, humidity bias, and ESD verification to meet automotive reliability requirements.
What is the maximum power dissipation of the MMSZ5252CT1G on a standard PCB?
The MMSZ5252CT1G is rated for 500 mW total power dissipation on an FR−5 board at TL = 75°C, with linear derating of 6.7 mW/°C above that temperature. This rating assumes minimum recommended footprint and no additional copper pour; actual dissipation must be verified using thermal simulation for specific layout conditions.
How does the leakage current of the MMSZ5252CT1G compare to other 24 V Zeners?
The MMSZ5252CT1G specifies only 0.1 μA reverse leakage current at VR = 18 V, significantly lower than many competing 24 V Zeners (e.g., BZX84-C24LT1G: 0.5 μA at 18 V). This ultra-low leakage minimizes parasitic current paths in battery-powered instrumentation and high-impedance sensor interfaces.
What package type is used for the MMSZ5252CT1G, and what are its key mechanical features?
The MMSZ5252CT1G uses the SOD−123 surface-mount package (1.60 × 2.69 × 1.16 mm), featuring a void-free thermosetting plastic case, corrosion-resistant solderable finish, UL 94 V−0 flammability rating, and cathode polarity band marking. It supports reflow soldering up to 260°C for 10 seconds.
