Product details
Overview
SZMM3Z20VT1G from onsemi is a 20 V, 300 mW Zener voltage regulator diode in SOD−323 package, designed for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in space-constrained circuits. It delivers nominal Zener voltage of 20 V at 5 mA test current, with dynamic impedance of 55 Ω, leakage current ≤0.05 µA at 14.0 V reverse bias, and −3.5 mV/°C temperature coefficient.
For engineers reviewing the SZMM3Z20VT1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±1.2 V), low-profile SOD−323 footprint (1.7 mm × 1.25 mm × 0.9 mm), AEC−Q101 qualification, and ESD robustness (>16 kV HBM).
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference, regulating reverse-biased voltage across its cathode-anode terminals. Its Zener breakdown mechanism provides stable DC reference under steady-state conditions, with thermal derating starting at 25°C (2.4 mW/°C) and junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 416°C/W.
The SZMM3Z20VT1G exhibits low capacitance (85 pF at 0 V, 1 MHz), making it suitable for high-frequency noise suppression. Its forward voltage is ≤0.9 V at 10 mA, and it maintains specified performance across −65°C to +150°C junction temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 18.8 V min / 20 V nom / 21.2 V max @ IZT = 5 mA - defines regulated output voltage window under standard test conditions |
| Power Dissipation | 300 mW @ TA = 25°C - sets maximum continuous power handling on FR-4 board with 1 cm² pad |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 55 Ω max @ IZT = 5 mA - determines AC voltage regulation stability under small-signal variations |
| Reverse Leakage Current | ≤0.05 µA @ VR = 14.0 V - ensures minimal standby current in voltage-clamp configurations |
| Temperature Coefficient | −3.5 mV/°C - quantifies voltage drift per degree Celsius change in ambient temperature |
| Capacitance | 85 pF @ VR = 0 V, f = 1 MHz - impacts high-frequency filtering and signal integrity in RF-adjacent circuits |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV) per HBM - enables robust handling in automated assembly and end-user environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX384-B20,115 | 20 V Zener, 300 mW, SOD-323, but ±5% tolerance (19–21 V) vs. SZMM3Z20VT1G's ±6% (18.8–21.2 V); no AEC−Q101 rating | Targeted at commercial-grade consumer electronics, not automotive systems requiring PPAP documentation | Select when AEC−Q101 compliance is unnecessary and tighter voltage tolerance is preferred |
| MMSZ5242B-TP | 20 V Zener, 500 mW, SOD-123 package (larger footprint: 2.7 mm × 1.4 mm); higher power but incompatible pin layout | Used where higher surge energy absorption is required, such as industrial power supply feedback loops | Select when 500 mW dissipation is needed and PCB layout allows SOD-123 footprint |

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SZMM3Z20VT1G?
The SZMM3Z20VT1G has a Zener voltage specification of 18.8 V minimum, 20 V nominal, and 21.2 V maximum at IZT = 5 mA, corresponding to a ±6% tolerance around the nominal value. This tolerance is verified per the manufacturer's electrical characteristics table and applies under standard test conditions at 25°C ambient temperature.
Is SZMM3Z20VT1G suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SZMM3Z20VT1G is AEC−Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, with full traceability and process controls required for automotive use. Its operating temperature range of −65°C to +150°C, robust ESD rating (>16 kV HBM), and certified manufacturing site compliance make it appropriate for engine control, body electronics, and ADAS sensor modules.
What is the thermal derating behavior of SZMM3Z20VT1G above 25°C?
SZMM3Z20VT1G derates linearly at 2.4 mW/°C above 25°C ambient temperature, based on its 300 mW maximum power rating on FR-4 board with 1 cm² copper pad. At 85°C ambient, its usable power drops to approximately 156 mW, calculated as 300 mW − (85 − 25) × 2.4 mW/°C.
Does SZMM3Z20VT1G have a specified forward voltage?
Yes, SZMM3Z20VT1G specifies a maximum forward voltage (VF) of 0.9 V at forward current (IF) = 10 mA, per the Electrical Characteristics table. This parameter is relevant for polarity-check circuits or dual-use configurations where the device may conduct in forward bias during power-up sequencing.
What is the package marking code for SZMM3Z20VT1G?
The SZMM3Z20VT1G is marked with "0Z" on the top surface of the SOD−323 package, as confirmed in the device marking column of the Electrical Characteristics table. The "SZ" prefix indicates automotive-grade qualification, and the "0Z" code uniquely identifies the 20 V variant within the MM3ZxxxT1G family.
