Product details
Overview
SMSZ1010T1G from ON Semiconductor is a 10 V, 500 mW Zener diode in SOD-123 package, rated for ±5% tolerance and 5 µA maximum reverse leakage at 7.6 V, used for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in low-power analog circuits and power supply feedback paths.
For engineers reviewing the SMSZ1010T1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified electrical specs, validated SOD-123 terminal configuration, real-world use cases in voltage reference and ESD-clamped bias networks, and two confirmed alternative Zeners with documented parameter alignment.
Technical Context
This device operates as a silicon planar Zener diode with sharp reverse breakdown at nominal 10 V, optimized for stable regulation under DC or low-frequency transient conditions. Its 500 mW power dissipation rating and 5 µA IR @ VR = 7.6 V support reliable clamping in signal-level circuits without thermal runaway.
The SOD-123 package enables surface-mount integration with 2.5 mm × 1.3 mm footprint and gull-wing leads compatible with standard reflow profiles. Device qualification per IPCN #20425 confirms HTSL (1008 hrs @ 150°C), HTRB (1008 hrs @ 150°C), and TC (1000 cycles, −65°C to +150°C) compliance for industrial reliability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 10 V ±5% - precise regulation point for feedback loops requiring tight voltage setpoints. |
| Power Dissipation (PZ) | 500 mW - supports continuous operation at up to 50 mA Zener current without derating in ambient ≤75°C. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤5 µA @ VR = 7.6 V - ensures minimal quiescent current draw in high-impedance bias networks. |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 15 Ω @ IZ = 20 mA - maintains low dynamic impedance for stable regulation under load transients. |
| Package | SOD-123 - compact 2-pin surface-mount outline with 1.3 mm height, suitable for space-constrained PCB layouts. |
| Operating Temperature | −65°C to +150°C - qualified for extended industrial and automotive under-hood environments. |
Pinout & Package

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMSZ10T1G | Same 10 V ±5%, 500 mW rating; identical SOD-123 package but manufactured at Seremban site pre-2014 transfer. | No functional difference; fully interchangeable in all designs meeting legacy qualification requirements. | Select when sourcing from legacy inventory or dual-sourced BOMs requiring Seremban-assembled units. |
| SZMMSZ10T1G | Automotive-grade variant (AEC-Q101 qualified); same VZ, PZ, and package, but with enhanced HTRB/HTSL test margins. | Required for automotive body electronics or ADAS subsystems needing AEC-Q101 compliance. | Choose for new automotive designs or where extended reliability validation is mandated by OEM specifications. |
Compared with SMSZ1010T1G, MMSZ10T1G offers identical electrical performance with legacy manufacturing provenance, while SZMMSZ10T1G adds AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive deployment-neither requires PCB changes, but selection depends on qualification scope and end-market compliance needs.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SMSZ1010T1G?
The SMSZ1010T1G has a nominal Zener voltage of 10 V with a tolerance of ±5%, meaning its actual breakdown voltage falls between 9.5 V and 10.5 V at test current. This tolerance is measured and guaranteed per ON Semiconductor's characterization data, and applies directly to SMSZ1010T1G under standard test conditions (IZ = 20 mA, TJ = 25°C). The specification ensures predictable regulation behavior in feedback and reference applications.
Is SMSZ1010T1G qualified for automotive applications?
No, SMSZ1010T1G is not AEC-Q101 qualified. It is a standard industrial-grade Zener diode. For automotive use, ON Semiconductor offers the SZMMSZ10T1G - the automotive-qualified version of the same 10 V Zener - which undergoes additional stress testing including extended HTRB and temperature cycling per AEC-Q101. SMSZ1010T1G remains suitable for industrial, consumer, and commercial applications where AEC-Q101 is not required.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for SMSZ1010T1G?
The maximum reverse leakage current (IR) for SMSZ1010T1G is 5 µA at VR = 7.6 V and TJ = 25°C. This value is specified in ON Semiconductor's characterization data and reflects worst-case leakage under sub-breakdown conditions. Low IR ensures minimal loading of high-impedance nodes - such as those found in precision voltage dividers or op-amp bias networks - preserving signal integrity and measurement accuracy in circuits using SMSZ1010T1G.
Does SMSZ1010T1G have the same pinout as MMSZ10T1G?
Yes, SMSZ1010T1G and MMSZ10T1G share identical SOD-123 packaging and pinout: anode (unmarked end) and cathode (banded end), with identical mechanical dimensions and solder pad layout. Both devices are physically and electrically interchangeable in PCB designs, provided thermal and qualification requirements align. This compatibility is confirmed through ON Semiconductor's IPCN documentation and package standardization across the MMSZ/SMSZ family.
What reliability testing has SMSZ1010T1G undergone?
SMSZ1010T1G was qualified under IPCN #20425 for assembly and test transfer to Leshan, China, and passed full reliability stress testing including HTSL (1008 hrs @ 150°C), HTRB (1008 hrs @ 150°C), temperature cycling (1000 cycles, −65°C to +150°C), and autoclave (96 hrs @ 121°C, 100% RH). These results confirm robustness for industrial environments and validate long-term stability of SMSZ1010T1G's Zener characteristics under thermal and humidity stress.
