Product details
Overview
MMSZ7V5ET1 from onsemi is a 7.5 V ±5% Zener voltage regulator diode in SOD-123 surface-mount package, rated for 500 mW power dissipation at 75 °C on FR-5 board, with 15 Ω dynamic impedance at 5 mA test current and 1 µA reverse leakage at 5.6 V, used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in power supply feedback loops.
For engineers reviewing the MMSZ7V5ET1 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified electrical specs, thermal derating behavior, cathode/anode terminal mapping, AEC-Q101 qualification status, and direct automotive-grade alternatives - all confirmed from onsemi's official Rev. 8 datasheet (Feb. 2026).
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal shunt regulator, maintaining stable 7.5 V output across load variations by conducting reverse current above its Zener breakdown threshold. It exhibits 15 Ω Zener impedance at IZT = 5 mA and temperature coefficient near 0 mV/°C in the 6–8 V range, enabling low-drift reference performance.
Rated for 225 W nonrepetitive surge (8 × 20 µs), it supports transient suppression in DC rails. Its SOD-123 package delivers 150 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance and ESD robustness >16 kV HBM - critical for automated assembly and harsh-environment deployments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 7.13 V min / 7.5 V nominal / 7.88 V max at IZT = 5 mA - defines regulation band under standard test conditions |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 15 Ω max at IZT = 5 mA - determines output voltage stability under varying load current |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 1 µA max at VR = 5.6 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in standby mode |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 500 mW at TL = 75 °C on FR-5 board - sets maximum continuous operating power before thermal derating |
| Peak Surge Power | 225 W for 8 × 20 µs pulse - enables transient overvoltage clamping without failure |
| Thermal Resistance (RJL) | 150 °C/W junction-to-lead - informs PCB copper area requirements for thermal management |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV) per Human Body Model - guarantees robustness during handling and automated placement |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C7V5 | Same 7.5 V nominal, but 350 mW rating and 30 Ω ZZT; SOT-23 package | Limited to lower-power applications; less suitable for sustained 500 mW loads or high-surge environments | Select when footprint constraints favor SOT-23 and peak power demands stay below 350 mW |
| SZMMSZ7V5ET1G | Identical electrical specs and SOD-123 package; AEC-Q101 qualified with SZ prefix for automotive traceability | Designed for PPAP-compliant automotive production with enhanced change control and lot traceability | Prefer for Tier 1 automotive programs requiring full AS9100-aligned documentation and process validation |
Compared with BZX84-C7V5 and SZMMSZ7V5ET1G, the MMSZ7V5ET1 offers optimal balance of industrial-grade reliability, 500 mW capability, and cost-effective SOD-123 assembly - making it ideal for non-automotive embedded power rails where AEC-Q101 is not mandated but robust surge handling is required.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for MMSZ7V5ET1?
The MMSZ7V5ET1 has a nominal Zener voltage of 7.5 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%, meaning the actual measured VZ falls between 7.13 V and 7.88 V at IZT = 5 mA and TA = 25 °C. This tolerance is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 2 of the onsemi datasheet Rev. 8.
Is MMSZ7V5ET1 suitable for automotive applications?
MMSZ7V5ET1 itself is not AEC-Q101 qualified; however, its automotive-grade variant SZMMSZ7V5ET1G is fully qualified and PPAP capable. The MMSZ7V5ET1 shares identical electrical and thermal specs but lacks the enhanced traceability and change control required for automotive production - use MMSZ7V5ET1 for industrial or consumer designs where AEC-Q101 is not mandated.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for MMSZ7V5ET1?
The maximum reverse leakage current for MMSZ7V5ET1 is 1 µA at VR = 5.6 V and TA = 25 °C, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This low leakage ensures minimal power loss in high-impedance reference nodes and improves battery life in always-on circuits.
Can MMSZ7V5ET1 handle transient surges?
Yes, MMSZ7V5ET1 is rated for 225 W nonrepetitive surge power with an 8 × 20 µs waveform, validated per Figure 4 in the datasheet. This capability allows it to safely clamp short-duration overvoltages in DC power rails without degradation, provided surge repetition remains infrequent.
What is the thermal resistance of MMSZ7V5ET1?
MMSZ7V5ET1 has a junction-to-lead thermal resistance (RJL) of 150 °C/W and junction-to-ambient (RJA) of 340 °C/W, measured via infrared scan method. These values inform PCB layout decisions - e.g., ≥25 mm² of 1 oz copper pour under the SOD-123 pad reduces thermal rise by ~30 °C at full 500 mW dissipation.
