Product details
Overview
MMSZ5252ET1 from onsemi is a 24 V ±5% Zener diode in SOD-123 package, rated for 500 mW power dissipation at 75 °C on FR-5 board, with 5.2 mA test current (IZT), 33 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT), and 0.1 µA leakage current at 18 V reverse bias - used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in low-power analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MMSZ5252ET1 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified electrical specs, thermal derating behavior, SOD-123 terminal mapping, and direct alternatives for voltage regulation design validation and BOM optimization.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal silicon Zener diode with sharp reverse breakdown at nominal 24 V, characterized under thermal equilibrium at TL = 30 °C ±1 °C. Its 33 Ω Zener impedance (ZZT) is measured at 1 kHz AC signal with IZ(AC) = 0.1 × IZT, ensuring stable regulation under small-signal perturbations.
The SOD-123 package provides 150 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance and supports peak surge power of 225 W for 8 × 20 µs pulses. It features Class 3 ESD rating (>16 kV HBM) and UL 94 V-0 flammability compliance, enabling use in compact, high-reliability PCB layouts.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 22.8–25.2 V @ IZT = 5.2 mA - defines regulated output voltage tolerance band for reference stability |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 500 mW @ TL = 75 °C - maximum continuous power on FR-5 board before thermal derating begins |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 33 Ω @ IZT = 5.2 mA, 1 kHz - indicates AC regulation stiffness; lower value improves ripple rejection |
| Leakage Current (IR) | 0.1 µA @ VR = 18 V - ensures minimal standby current draw in high-impedance bias networks |
| Junction Temp Range | −55 to +150 °C - enables operation in automotive under-hood and industrial control environments |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV HBM) - protects against handling-induced electrostatic discharge during assembly |
Pinout & Package
SOD-123 surface-mount package: 2-pin, cathode-band marked, dimensions 1.60 × 2.69 × 1.16 mm, void-free thermosetting plastic case with UL 94 V-0 rating and corrosion-resistant solderable finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Banded End) | Cathode | Connected to regulated voltage node; reverse-biased during Zener operation |
| 2 (Non-banded End) | Anode | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; completes conduction path during breakdown |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 500 mW Power Rating | Enables use in medium-current reference and clamp applications without external heatsinking on standard FR-5 PCB |
| ±5% Zener Tolerance | Supports cost-sensitive designs where tight voltage accuracy is not required, reducing calibration overhead |
| Low ZZK (600 Ω) | Ensures stable regulation even at low test current (IZK), critical for ultra-low-power biasing |
| Pb-Free Construction | Complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and JEDEC J-STD-020 reflow profile requirements |
| Automated Assembly Optimized | Small footprint and polarity band enable reliable pick-and-place placement and AOI inspection |

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-C24 | Same 24 V nominal Zener, but SOT-23 package (higher RJA = 350 °C/W); 600 mW rating at 25 °C only | Less thermal margin in high-density layouts; requires larger copper area for equivalent PD derating | Select when SOT-23 footprint compatibility is mandatory and board space allows thermal relief |
| MMBZ5252ELT1G | Identical electrical specs and SOD-123 package, but dual-diode configuration (cathode-common) in same outline | Not suitable for single-Zener applications; intended for bidirectional clamping or dual-rail referencing | Choose only if dual-channel functionality is required; otherwise MMSZ5252ET1 remains optimal single-device solution |
Compared with BZX84-C24 and MMBZ5252ELT1G, the MMSZ5252ET1 offers superior thermal performance in constrained layouts, guaranteed single-diode functionality, and tighter production lot consistency for high-volume industrial manufacturing.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for MMSZ5252ET1?
The MMSZ5252ET1 has a nominal Zener voltage of 24 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%, resulting in a guaranteed range of 22.8 V to 25.2 V when measured at IZT = 5.2 mA and thermal equilibrium at TL = 30 °C ±1 °C. This tolerance is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 2 of the official onsemi datasheet for MMSZ5252ET1.
Can MMSZ5252ET1 be used in automotive applications?
Yes - the MMSZ5252ET1 is part of the SZMMSZ52xxET1G automotive-qualified series, meeting AEC-Q101 stress testing requirements and supporting PPAP documentation. While the base MMSZ5252ET1 is commercial-grade, its SZ-prefixed variant (SZMMSZ5252ET1G) is explicitly qualified for automotive use, including under-hood temperature cycling and humidity exposure.
What is the maximum surge power rating for MMSZ5252ET1?
The MMSZ5252ET1 supports a nonrepetitive peak surge power of 225 W for an 8 × 20 µs pulse waveform, as specified in the Maximum Ratings table. This rating applies at TL ≤ 25 °C and is validated per Figure 11 in the onsemi datasheet, making it suitable for transient suppression in industrial I/O protection circuits.
How does thermal derating affect MMSZ5252ET1's power handling?
MMSZ5252ET1 is rated for 500 mW total power dissipation at TL = 75 °C on FR-5 board, with linear derating of 6.7 mW/°C above that temperature. At 100 °C lead temperature, its usable power drops to 332.5 mW - a critical consideration for sealed enclosures or high-ambient industrial deployments where airflow is limited.
Is MMSZ5252ET1 RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes - the "G" suffix in the full orderable part number MMSZ5252ET1G (the commercial version) denotes Pb-free construction, compliant with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. The device uses matte tin lead finish and meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1, supporting standard reflow profiles without special handling.
