Product details
Overview
MMSZ5266BT3 from onsemi is a 68 V ±5% Zener diode in SOD−123 package, rated for 500 mW power dissipation at TL = 75°C with 1.8 mA test current (IZT), 230 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT), and 0.1 µA reverse leakage at 52 V (VR). It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in low-power analog sensing and power rail regulation circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MMSZ5266BT3 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its 68 V nominal Zener voltage, ±5% tolerance, thermal equilibrium–specified VZ, 150°C max junction temperature, and Pb-free SOD−123 surface-mount construction suitable for automated assembly.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal silicon Zener diode, conducting in reverse breakdown to maintain stable voltage across its terminals under controlled current conditions. Its Zener voltage is specified with the device junction in thermal equilibrium at TL = 30°C ±1°C, ensuring repeatable calibration independent of transient thermal gradients.
The MMSZ5266BT3 exhibits a typical temperature coefficient of +0.094 %/°C (derived from Figure 1 & 2 for ~68 V devices), supports ESD robustness >16 kV per HBM Class 3, and maintains 0.1 µA leakage at VR = 52 V - critical for low-quiescent-current bias networks and high-impedance reference nodes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 64.6–71.4 V @ IZT = 1.8 mA - defines clamping threshold with ±5% tolerance for stable reference generation |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 500 mW on FR-5 board @ TL = 75°C - sets maximum continuous power handling before thermal derating begins |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 230 Ω @ IZT = 1.8 mA - indicates voltage regulation stiffness; lower values improve load regulation |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.1 µA @ VR = 52 V - ensures minimal error current in high-impedance voltage divider or bias applications |
| Junction Temp Range | −55°C to +150°C - enables operation in automotive under-hood, industrial control, and outdoor electronics |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV) HBM - provides robustness against handling-induced electrostatic discharge during assembly |

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-C68LT1G | Same 68 V ±5%, but SOT-23 package (larger footprint, higher RJA = 350°C/W vs 340°C/W) | Less suitable for ultra-high-density layouts; slightly lower thermal performance on FR-4 | Select when existing SOT-23 land pattern is fixed and 68 V regulation is required |
| MMSZ5266ET3G | Identical electrical specs and SOD−123 package, but ±2% tolerance (tighter VZ control) | Used where tighter voltage accuracy is needed, e.g., precision ADC references or calibration circuits | Choose when system-level tolerance budget requires <±3% total error, accepting higher cost |
Compared with MMSZ5266BT3, BZX84-C68LT1G offers identical Zener voltage but requires PCB layout change due to SOT-23 footprint and has marginally worse thermal resistance; MMSZ5266ET3G delivers superior voltage accuracy in the same SOD−123 package but increases BOM cost for tighter tolerance.

FAQ
What is the nominal Zener voltage and tolerance of the MMSZ5266BT3?
The MMSZ5266BT3 has a nominal Zener voltage of 68 V with a ±5% tolerance, meaning its actual breakdown voltage falls between 64.6 V and 71.4 V when measured at IZT = 1.8 mA under thermal equilibrium conditions. This tolerance is confirmed in the "5% TOLERANCE FG ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS" table on page 3 of the official onsemi datasheet.
Does the MMSZ5266BT3 meet automotive qualification standards?
Yes, the MMSZ5266BT3 is AEC−Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, as explicitly stated in the "Features" section of the datasheet. The SZ-prefix variants (e.g., SZMMSZ5266BT3G) are designated for automotive applications, but the standard MMSZ5266BT3 shares the same qualification and process controls per onsemi's documentation.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for the MMSZ5266BT3, and at what voltage is it specified?
The MMSZ5266BT3 exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 0.1 µA at VR = 52 V, as listed in the "5% TOLERANCE FG ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS" table. This value is critical for low-power bias networks and ensures minimal parasitic current draw in high-impedance reference designs.
Can the MMSZ5266BT3 be used in high-density PCB layouts?
Yes, the MMSZ5266BT3 uses the compact SOD−123 surface-mount package (2.54 mm × 1.35 mm), specifically engineered for high-density applications. Its standardized footprint, polarity band marking, and Pb-free construction are optimized for automated board assembly, making it suitable for densely populated consumer and industrial PCBs.
What is the thermal resistance junction-to-ambient (RJA) for the MMSZ5266BT3?
The thermal resistance junction-to-ambient (RJA) for the MMSZ5266BT3 is 340°C/W, measured via infrared scan method on FR−5 board (Note 2 in Maximum Ratings table). This value determines how much the junction temperature rises above ambient per milliwatt of dissipated power, directly impacting safe operating area in continuous-use applications.
