Product details
Overview
MMSZ5252ET1G 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 MMSZ5252ET1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, thermal derating behavior, junction-to-lead thermal resistance, and HBM ESD rating for robustness in portable and industrial signal conditioning designs.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal silicon Zener diode optimized for stable reverse-biased voltage regulation. It achieves regulation via avalanche breakdown at nominal 24 V, with specified Zener impedance measured at 1 kHz AC superimposed on 5.2 mA DC bias (IZT).
Thermal performance is defined by junction-to-lead resistance of 150 °C/W and junction-to-ambient resistance of 340 °C/W, enabling predictable power derating above 75 °C. Its SOD-123 package supports automated placement and meets UL 94 V-0 flammability rating.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 22.8 V (min) to 25.2 V (max) at IZT = 5.2 mA - defines regulated output range under nominal bias conditions |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 500 mW at TL = 75 °C on FR-5 board - sets maximum continuous operating power before thermal derating applies |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | ≤33 Ω at IZT = 5.2 mA, f = 1 kHz - determines output voltage stability under small-signal AC load variations |
| Leakage Current (IR) | ≤0.1 µA at VR = 18 V - ensures minimal parasitic current draw in standby or high-impedance sensing nodes |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV) per Human Body Model - provides robustness against handling-induced electrostatic discharge |
| Peak Surge Power | 225 W for 20 µs pulse (8 × 20 µs waveform) - supports transient overvoltage clamping without failure |
| Junction Temp Range | −55 °C to +150 °C - enables operation in automotive under-hood and industrial ambient environments |
Pinout & Package
The MMSZ5252ET1G is housed in a surface-mount SOD-123 plastic package (Case 425, Style 1), measuring 1.60 mm × 2.69 mm × 1.16 mm, with cathode indicated by a polarity band. The package is void-free, thermosetting, UL 94 V-0 rated, and Pb-free.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX584C24LT1G | Same 24 V nominal Zener voltage, but 300 mW rating and SOD-323 package (smaller footprint, higher thermal resistance) | Preferred for ultra-compact layouts where power dissipation ≤300 mW suffices; not suitable for sustained 500 mW loads | Select when board area is critical and thermal margin allows lower power rating |
| 1N4749A | Through-hole DO-41 package, 1 W rating, ±5% tolerance, 24 V nominal - larger size, higher power, no SMD compatibility | Used in legacy through-hole designs or prototyping where manual assembly is acceptable and higher surge capacity is needed | Select only for non-SMT builds or when 1 W continuous dissipation is required |
Compared with BZX584C24LT1G and 1N4749A, the MMSZ5252ET1G uniquely balances SMD manufacturability, 500 mW FR-5 board rating, and 150 °C junction capability - making it optimal for modern industrial and automotive PCBs requiring surface-mount reliability and thermal resilience.

FAQ
What is the nominal Zener voltage and tolerance of the MMSZ5252ET1G?
The MMSZ5252ET1G has a nominal Zener voltage of 24 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%, meaning its actual reverse breakdown voltage falls between 22.8 V and 25.2 V when tested at IZT = 5.2 mA and TL = 30 °C ±1 °C. This tolerance is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 2 of the official onsemi datasheet. The MMSZ5252ET1G maintains this specification across its qualified operating temperature range.
What is the maximum power dissipation for the MMSZ5252ET1G on a standard PCB?
The MMSZ5252ET1G is rated for 500 mW total power dissipation on an FR-5 board at a lead temperature (TL) of 75 °C, with linear derating of 6.7 mW/°C above that temperature. This rating assumes use of the minimum recommended footprint (3.5 × 1.5 inches). The MMSZ5252ET1G must not exceed this limit to ensure long-term reliability and avoid thermal runaway.
Does the MMSZ5252ET1G meet automotive qualification standards?
Yes - the SZ-prefix variant SZMMSZ5252ET1G is AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable for automotive applications. While the standard MMSZ5252ET1G is not automotive-qualified, it shares identical electrical and thermal specifications and is widely used in industrial and commercial designs. For automotive-grade assurance, the SZMMSZ5252ET1G must be specified; the MMSZ5252ET1G itself is intended for non-automotive applications unless explicitly validated.
What is the Zener impedance of the MMSZ5252ET1G and how is it measured?
The MMSZ5252ET1G has a maximum Zener impedance (ZZT) of 33 Ω, measured at IZT = 5.2 mA with a 1 kHz, 0.1 × IZT AC signal superimposed on the DC bias. This value reflects dynamic resistance during small-signal regulation and directly impacts output voltage stability under varying load conditions. The MMSZ5252ET1G's low ZZT supports precision reference applications where ripple rejection matters.
How is polarity identified on the MMSZ5252ET1G package?
The MMSZ5252ET1G uses a cathode band (a visible marking stripe) on the SOD-123 case to identify Pin 1 as the cathode terminal; Pin 2 is the anode. This polarity marking aligns with JEDEC-standard SOD-123 orientation and is verified in the mechanical drawings on page 6 of the onsemi datasheet. Correct orientation is essential - reverse connection prevents Zener operation and may cause circuit malfunction. The MMSZ5252ET1G must be mounted with the banded end toward the higher-potential node.
