Product details
Overview
NZ8F20VMX2WT5G from onsemi is a 20 V Zener diode in X2DFNW2 (0402) wettable flank package, rated for 250 mW dissipation at 25 °C on FR-4 board with 1 oz. Cu, 0.40 mm body height, and AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive use. It provides voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in space-constrained applications such as automotive control units and portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the NZ8F20VMX2WT5G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its 19.0–21.0 V Zener voltage range at 5 mA test current, 55 Ω dynamic impedance, 0.1 µA leakage at 15.4 V reverse bias, 55 pF capacitance at 0 V, and compatibility with automated optical inspection due to wettable flank leads.
Technical Context
This device operates as a unidirectional Zener diode with reverse-biased breakdown regulation. Its thermal resistance is 415 °C/W (Junction-to-Ambient, minimum pad), and it supports non-repetitive peak reverse power of 40 W for 100 µs pulses at 25 °C.
The NZ8F20VMX2WT5G exhibits a typical temperature coefficient of +9 mV/°C near 20 V and maintains stable regulation across −65 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range. Forward voltage is ≤0.9 V at 10 mA, confirming low-loss clamping capability.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMSZ4702T1G | 20 V nominal, SOD-123 package (1.8 × 1.4 mm), 500 mW rating, 30 Ω ZZT, 0.1 µA IR @ 16 V | Larger footprint and higher power; less suitable for ultra-dense layouts but better thermal margin | Select when board space allows larger package and higher continuous power is required |
| BZX84-C20LT1G | 20 V nominal, SOT-23 package (3.0 × 1.4 mm), 350 mW rating, 50 Ω ZZT, 0.1 µA IR @ 15.4 V | Three-terminal SOT-23 offers same polarity but requires different layout; not wettable flank AOI-ready | Select when existing SOT-23 footprint reuse is prioritized over AOI compatibility and miniaturization |

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of NZ8F20VMX2WT5G?
The NZ8F20VMX2WT5G has a Zener voltage range of 19.0 V to 21.0 V at 5 mA test current (IZT), corresponding to ±5% tolerance around the nominal 20 V rating. This specification is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 2 of the official onsemi datasheet (Rev. 4, November 2025) and applies strictly to the NZ8FxxxMX2WT5G standard tolerance series.
Is NZ8F20VMX2WT5G qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, NZ8F20VMX2WT5G is AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable. The datasheet explicitly states that devices with the "SZ" prefix (e.g., SZNZ8F20VMX2WT5G) meet automotive requirements, and the base part NZ8F20VMX2WT5G shares identical construction, testing, and qualification-confirmed by onsemi's packaging and reliability documentation for the NZ8F Series.
What is the maximum power dissipation of NZ8F20VMX2WT5G on a standard PCB?
NZ8F20VMX2WT5G is rated for 250 mW total device dissipation at 25 °C ambient on an FR-4 board with minimum pad and 1 oz. copper (Note 1). Derating is 1.5 mW/°C above 25 °C. This value is specified in the Maximum Ratings table on page 1 of the onsemi datasheet and reflects real-world thermal performance under defined layout conditions.
Does NZ8F20VMX2WT5G support automated optical inspection (AOI)?
Yes, NZ8F20VMX2WT5G uses the X2DFNW2 package with wettable flank leads, enabling full-side-view AOI of solder fillets without requiring X-ray. This feature is explicitly called out in the datasheet's Specification Features section and verified by the mechanical drawing (Case 711BG) showing chamfered, solderable side walls compatible with industry-standard AOI systems.
What is the forward voltage of NZ8F20VMX2WT5G at 10 mA?
The forward voltage of NZ8F20VMX2WT5G is guaranteed ≤0.9 V at 10 mA forward current (IF), as stated in both the Standard and Tight Tolerance series electrical characteristics tables (pages 2 and 3). This low VF ensures minimal conduction loss when used in bidirectional protection schemes or as a low-drop rectifier in auxiliary paths.
