Product details
Overview
SZMM3Z30VT1GX from Nexperia is a Zener voltage regulator diode in SOD323 (SC-76) package, designed for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in low-power circuits. It delivers a nominal 30 V Zener voltage (28.0–32.0 V), 21.0 Ω differential resistance at IZ = 2 mA, ±5 % tolerance, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use.
For engineers reviewing the SZMM3Z30VT1GX datasheet, SZMM3Z30VT1GX pinout, SZMM3Z30VT1GX application, or SZMM3Z30VT1GX equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage stability under 2 mA test current, low thermal resistance (Rth(j-sp) = 110 K/W), reverse leakage <300 µA at 0.5 mA, and compatibility with reflow/wave soldering per IPC-J-STD-020.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable DC voltage across load variations and temperature shifts. Its 30 V nominal working voltage targets mid-range regulation needs where higher-voltage references are required without discrete resistor-divider complexity.
With a temperature coefficient of +24.4 to +29.4 mV/K and junction-to-solder-point thermal resistance of 110 K/W, it supports reliable operation up to 150 °C ambient in compact PCB layouts-critical for space-constrained automotive body control modules and industrial sensor signal conditioning.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 28.0 V to 32.0 V at IZ = 2 mA - defines stable regulation window for 30 V rail clamping |
| Differential Resistance rdiff | 21.0 Ω - ensures minimal output voltage shift under ±1 mA load current variation |
| Reverse Current IR | <300 µA at VR = 22.5 V - guarantees low quiescent power loss in standby mode |
| Total Power Dissipation Ptot | 300 mW at Tamb = 25 °C - limits thermal rise on FR4 PCB with standard footprint |
| Non-repetitive Peak Power PZSM | 40 W for tp = 100 µs - enables transient surge suppression in ESD-critical interfaces |
| Junction Temperature Tj | 150 °C maximum - supports operation in under-hood automotive environments |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes - validated for automotive-grade reliability including HTOL, TC, and HAST stress tests |
Pinout & Package
The SZMM3Z30VT1GX uses an SOD323 (SC-76) surface-mount plastic package measuring 1.8 mm × 1.35 mm × 0.95 mm, optimized for high-density PCB assembly and automated reflow processes.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (K) | Cathode | Connected to regulated output node; marking bar on package identifies this terminal |
| 2 (A) | Anode | Connected to ground or lower-potential reference; completes reverse-bias path for Zener action |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low differential resistance | 21.0 Ω at IZ = 2 mA - improves regulation accuracy under dynamic load changes |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive applications including engine control units and ADAS sensors |
| Small SOD323 footprint | 1.8 mm × 1.35 mm - saves board space vs. larger DO-35 or SOD123 packages |
| Wide voltage range series | 2.4 V to 75 V coverage - allows single-source procurement across multiple design generations |
| Thermal performance | Rth(j-sp) = 110 K/W - enables direct thermal coupling to copper pour for improved power handling |

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-B30,115 (Nexperia) | Same 30 V nominal Zener voltage but SOD323 package with tighter ±2 % tolerance and lower 15 Ω rdiff | Higher precision needed in metrology-grade instrumentation; not AEC-Q101 qualified | Select when ±2 % tolerance and sub-15 Ω regulation stiffness outweigh automotive qualification requirements |
| MMBZ5260B-7-F (Diodes Inc.) | 30 V Zener in SOT-23 package; 500 mW Ptot, but higher rdiff (35 Ω) and no AEC-Q101 rating | Consumer electronics with higher power margin and no automotive compliance mandate | Choose for cost-sensitive non-automotive designs where board space is less constrained than thermal performance |
Compared with BZX384-B30,115, SZMM3Z30VT1GX trades ±2 % tolerance for AEC-Q101 compliance and automotive thermal robustness; versus MMBZ5260B-7-F, it offers superior thermal resistance (110 vs. 200 K/W) and guaranteed automotive reliability at lower power dissipation.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current the SZMM3Z30VT1GX can sustain without degradation?
The device is rated for a maximum forward current of 200 mA, but its Zener operation relies on controlled reverse current. At 30 V, sustained reverse current must remain ≤10 mA to stay within the 300 mW total power limit at 25 °C ambient. Derating is required above 25 °C per the Rth(j-a) = 415 K/W curve.
How does the temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy over −40 °C to +125 °C?
At 30 V nominal, the temperature coefficient is +24.4 to +29.4 mV/K. Over a 165 K span, this introduces a worst-case drift of ~4.8 V-so actual regulation ranges from ~25.2 V to ~34.8 V. For tight tolerance applications, external compensation or tighter-tolerance variants like BZX384-B30 are recommended.
Can SZMM3Z30VT1GX be used in parallel for higher power dissipation?
No-Zener diodes exhibit negative temperature coefficients below ~5 V and positive above, but even within the same series, minor VZ mismatches cause current hogging. Parallel operation risks thermal runaway and premature failure; use a single higher-power device or active regulation instead.
Is the SOD323 package compatible with standard IPC-J-STD-020 reflow profiles?
Yes-the SOD323 outline meets IPC-J-STD-020D Level 1 requirements. Nexperia specifies a peak reflow temperature of 260 °C for 30 seconds max, with ramp rates ≤3 °C/s pre- and post-peak. The 0.95 mm height and 1.35 mm width align with standard stencil apertures for 0.3 mm thickness paste deposits.
