Product details
Overview
MMSZ5V1T3G from onsemi is a 500 mW, 5.1 V ±5% Zener voltage regulator diode in SOD−123 surface-mount package, rated for 60 Ω dynamic impedance at 5 mA test current and 2 µA reverse leakage at 3.8 V, used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in power supply rails and analog sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the MMSZ5V1T3G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified electrical specs, thermal derating behavior, AEC−Q101 qualification status, Pb−free compliance, and direct alternative options with documented parameter differences.
Technical Context
The MMSZ5V1T3G operates as a two-terminal shunt regulator, maintaining stable 5.1 V output across load variations by conducting reverse current above its Zener breakdown threshold. Its 60 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT) at IZT = 5 mA ensures low voltage deviation under transient load shifts.
Thermal design is constrained by RJA = 340°C/W and junction temperature limits of −55°C to +150°C; power dissipation must be derated linearly above 75°C ambient (6.7 mW/°C), with maximum case soldering temperature of 260°C for 10 seconds.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 4.85–5.36 V at IZT = 5 mA; nominal 5.1 V with ±5% tolerance defines regulation band for 3.3 V/5 V rail clamping. |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 60 Ω max at IZT = 5 mA; determines output voltage variation under 1 mA load step (ΔV ≈ 60 mV). |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 2 µA max at VR = 3.8 V; ensures minimal quiescent current draw in standby mode of low-power circuits. |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 500 mW on FR−5 board at TL = 75°C; sets absolute upper limit for continuous Zener conduction without thermal runaway. |
| Thermal Resistance (RJA) | 340°C/W; requires ≥100 mm² copper pour for safe operation at full power in industrial ambient conditions. |
| Junction Temp Range | −55°C to +150°C; supports automotive under-hood and industrial control applications without derating. |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV HBM); eliminates need for external ESD protection in handheld and field-deployed equipment. |
Pinout & Package
SOD−123 plastic surface-mount package (1.60 × 2.69 × 1.16 mm), void-free thermosetting case with corrosion-resistant finish, cathode indicated by polarity band, UL 94 V−0 flammability rating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Banded End) | Cathode | Connected to regulated voltage node; reverse-biased during Zener operation; carries full Zener current. |
| 2 (Non-banded End) | Anode | Connected to circuit ground or lower-potential rail; completes current path during regulation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX584C5V1 | Same 5.1 V nominal, but ±1% tolerance and 100 mW rating; SOD-323 package (smaller, higher thermal resistance). | Higher precision required in metrology-grade references; unsuitable for >100 mW continuous dissipation. | Select when tighter voltage tolerance outweighs power capability and thermal performance. |
| 1N4733A | 5.1 V ±5%, but through-hole DO-41 package; 1 W rating; no AEC−Q101 or Pb−free certification. | Legacy designs requiring axial-lead replacement; not suitable for automated SMT production or automotive use. | Select only for prototyping or repair of legacy boards where SMT compatibility is not required. |
Compared with BZX584C5V1 and 1N4733A, the MMSZ5V1T3G uniquely balances SMT manufacturability, 500 mW power handling, AEC−Q101 qualification, and industry-standard ±5% tolerance - making it optimal for volume automotive and industrial power management designs.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the MMSZ5V1T3G?
The MMSZ5V1T3G has a nominal Zener voltage of 5.1 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%, resulting in a guaranteed range of 4.85 V to 5.36 V at IZT = 5 mA and TA = 25°C. This tolerance is specified per onsemi's datasheet revision 13 and applies across the full operating temperature range when derated per thermal curves.
Is the MMSZ5V1T3G suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the MMSZ5V1T3G is AEC−Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, confirming its suitability for automotive applications such as body electronics, lighting control, and infotainment power domains. It meets stringent reliability, thermal, and ESD requirements defined in the AEC−Q101 stress test standard.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for the MMSZ5V1T3G?
The MMSZ5V1T3G exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current of 2 µA at VR = 3.8 V and TA = 25°C. This low leakage supports energy-sensitive applications like battery-backed sensors and always-on monitoring circuits where standby current must remain below microampere thresholds.
Does the MMSZ5V1T3G have Pb−free packaging?
Yes, the "G" suffix in MMSZ5V1T3G explicitly denotes Pb−free packaging compliant with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. The device uses lead-free terminations and conforms to JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity and reflow profile standards.
How does thermal derating affect the MMSZ5V1T3G's power dissipation?
The MMSZ5V1T3G is rated for 500 mW at TL = 75°C on FR−5 board, with linear derating of 6.7 mW/°C above that temperature. At 105°C board temperature, usable power drops to 283 mW - a critical constraint for enclosed industrial enclosures or under-hood automotive locations.
