Product details
Overview
MMSZ5253BT1 from ON Semiconductor is a 25 V ±5% Zener voltage regulator diode in SOD−123 surface-mount package, rated for 500 mW power dissipation on FR−5 board at 75°C, with 35 Ω dynamic impedance at 5.0 mA test current and 0.1 µA reverse leakage at 19 V, used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in low-power analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MMSZ5253BT1 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal derating behavior, cathode/anode terminal mapping, and direct alternatives for voltage regulation design-in.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal shunt regulator, maintaining stable output voltage across its cathode–anode terminals when reverse-biased above its nominal Zener voltage of 25 V. It exhibits a temperature coefficient of +14.5 mV/°C (typical) and supports steady-state operation from −55°C to +150°C junction temperature.
Thermal resistance is specified at 340°C/W (junction-to-ambient) and 150°C/W (junction-to-lead), enabling accurate power derating calculations. Its ESD rating exceeds 16 kV per Human Body Model, confirming robustness in automated assembly and end-use environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 23.75 V min / 25 V nom / 26.25 V max @ IZT = 5.0 mA - defines regulated voltage window under standard test conditions |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 500 mW @ TL = 75°C - maximum continuous power on FR−5 board before thermal derating applies |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 600 Ω max @ IZT = 5.0 mA - indicates voltage regulation stability under small-signal AC perturbation |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.1 µA max @ VR = 19 V - ensures minimal standby current in undervoltage clamp configurations |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 0.95 V max @ IF = 10 mA - confirms low-loss conduction in forward-biased protection paths |
| Junction Temp Range | −55°C to +150°C - enables deployment in automotive under-hood, industrial control, and outdoor electronics |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV HBM) - guarantees survivability during PCB handling and reflow without external protection |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX584-C24 | 24 V ±5%, 300 mW, SOD-323 package, 100 Ω ZZT @ 5 mA | Lower power rating and smaller footprint; higher ZZT limits regulation precision | Select when board space is constrained and 24 V regulation suffices with tighter ZZT tolerance |
| MMBZ5253BS | 25 V ±5%, 300 mW, SOT-23 package, 600 Ω ZZT @ 5 mA, same marking K3 | Same Zener spec but lower power rating and different thermal resistance (RJA = 400°C/W) | Choose only if existing SOT-23 layout exists and peak power remains below 300 mW |
Compared with MMSZ5253BT1, BZX584-C24 offers smaller size but reduced power handling and looser regulation; MMBZ5253BS matches voltage and impedance but sacrifices 40% power capability and thermal performance-both require validation of thermal margin and layout compatibility.

FAQ
What is the nominal Zener voltage and tolerance of MMSZ5253BT1?
The MMSZ5253BT1 has a nominal Zener voltage of 25 V with a ±5% tolerance, meaning its actual reverse breakdown voltage falls between 23.75 V and 26.25 V when tested at IZT = 5.0 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 ON Semiconductor datasheet.
Does MMSZ5253BT1 meet automotive qualification standards?
Yes, the MMSZ5253BT1 is AEC−Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, as stated in the "Features" section of the datasheet. The SZ-prefix variant (SZMMSZ5253BT1G) explicitly targets automotive applications, but the standard MMSZ5253BT1 shares identical construction, testing, and qualification-making it suitable for automotive body electronics and infotainment systems requiring certified components.
What is the maximum power dissipation of MMSZ5253BT1 and how does it derate with temperature?
MMSZ5253BT1 is rated for 500 mW total power dissipation on FR−5 board at lead temperature (TL) = 75°C. Above 75°C, it derates linearly at 6.7 mW/°C, reaching zero dissipation at approximately 148°C. This derating curve is defined in the "MAXIMUM RATINGS" table and validated via infrared scan method per Note 2.
Can MMSZ5253BT1 be used in place of MMSZ5253BT1G?
MMSZ5253BT1 and MMSZ5253BT1G are functionally identical except for Pb-free compliance: the "G" suffix denotes RoHS-compliant packaging with matte tin lead finish, while MMSZ5253BT1 (non-G) may use legacy finish. Both share identical electrical specs, SOD−123 package dimensions, and thermal ratings. For new designs, MMSZ5253BT1G is preferred; MMSZ5253BT1 remains viable where legacy finish is acceptable.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for MMSZ5253BT1 at 19 V?
The MMSZ5253BT1 specifies a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 0.1 µA at VR = 19 V, as shown in the "5% TOLERANCE FG ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS" table. This low leakage ensures minimal quiescent current draw in voltage-clamp or reference applications, supporting ultra-low-power system design requirements.
