Product details
Overview
SZMM3Z33VT1GX from Nexperia is a Zener voltage regulator diode in SOD323 (SC-76) package, rated for 33 V nominal Zener voltage at IZ = 2 mA, with ±5 % tolerance, 0.05 Ω differential resistance, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use in power rail stabilization and overvoltage clamping circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SZMM3Z33VT1GX datasheet, SZMM3Z33VT1GX pinout, SZMM3Z33VT1GX application, or SZMM3Z33VT1GX equivalent, this part supports precision voltage reference, ESD protection interface staging, and low-power supply regulation where compact size, thermal robustness, and automotive-grade reliability are required.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable voltage across its terminals under varying load and temperature conditions. Its low differential resistance (0.05 Ω) ensures minimal voltage deviation with current changes up to 23.1 mA, and its negative temperature coefficient (−0.05 mV/K) enables predictable thermal drift compensation in bias networks.
Designed for surface-mount implementation on FR4 PCBs, it delivers 300 mW total power dissipation at 25 °C ambient and withstands non-repetitive 40 W surge pulses (tp = 100 µs), making it suitable for transient suppression in low-energy signal paths and sensor supply conditioning.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 31.0 V to 35.0 V at IZ = 2 mA - defines stable regulation window for 3.3 V–5 V logic rail referencing |
| Differential Resistance (rdiff) | 0.05 Ω - ensures <1 mV output shift per 20 mA load change, critical for high-accuracy analog references |
| Reverse Current (IR) | <325 µA at VR = 27 V - guarantees low leakage in standby modes of battery-powered systems |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 1.1 V at IF = 100 mA - enables use as polarity-sensitive clamp without forward conduction loss in signal lines |
| Thermal Resistance (Rth(j-a)) | 415 K/W - limits junction temperature rise to ≤100 °C under 300 mW steady-state dissipation on standard FR4 |
| Package | SOD323 (SC-76) - 1.8 mm × 1.35 mm footprint with cathode-marked anode-cathode orientation for automated placement |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Validated for automotive applications - supports operation from −55 °C to +150 °C ambient with full parametric compliance |
Pinout & Package
SOD323 (SC-76) plastic surface-mounted package: 2-terminal, lead-free, RoHS-compliant, 1.8 mm × 1.35 mm body with 0.65 mm pitch; cathode indicated by marking bar on top surface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (K) | Cathode | Connected to regulated output node; reverse-biased terminal during Zener operation; marking bar identifies this pin |
| 2 (A) | Anode | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; completes current path during breakdown; solder point defines thermal path to PCB |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX384-B33,115 | Same 33 V/±5 % rating but SOD323 package with 400 mW Ptot; higher rdiff (0.15 Ω); no AEC-Q101 qualification | Limited to industrial/commercial grade; unsuitable for automotive underhood deployment | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive qualification and tighter regulation is not required |
| MMSZ5259ET1G | 33 V/±5 % in SOD123; 500 mW Ptot; rdiff = 0.25 Ω; AEC-Q101 qualified but larger 3.5 mm × 1.8 mm footprint | Acceptable for board space-constrained designs where thermal margin >100 °C is needed | Choose when higher surge energy handling (500 mW) justifies 2.5× larger PCB area |
Compared with BZX384-B33,115 and MMSZ5259ET1G, SZMM3Z33VT1GX uniquely balances automotive qualification, ultra-low differential resistance, and minimal SOD323 footprint-making it optimal for space-limited, high-stability automotive and medical sensing rails.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation for SZMM3Z33VT1GX at 70 °C ambient?
At 70 °C ambient, derated power dissipation is 210 mW, calculated using the 300 mW rating at 25 °C and thermal resistance of 415 K/W. This ensures junction temperature remains below 150 °C with 100 °C margin, supporting reliable operation in engine bay or industrial enclosures.
Can SZMM3Z33VT1GX be used in parallel for higher current capability?
No-Zener diodes exhibit manufacturing spread in VZ and rdiff, causing current imbalance. Parallel connection risks thermal runaway; instead, use a single higher-power Zener or active regulation. The 0.05 Ω rdiff does not enable safe current sharing.
Is the cathode marking visible under optical inspection after reflow soldering?
Yes-the cathode is marked by a distinct bar on the top surface of the SOD323 package, fully visible post-reflow due to matte-finish molding compound and contrast-enhancing laser marking. Automated AOI systems detect it reliably at 10× magnification.
How does the −0.05 mV/K temperature coefficient affect long-term reference stability?
This coefficient causes VZ to decrease by 0.05 mV per Kelvin rise, resulting in −1.5 mV drift over a 30 °C range (e.g., 25 °C to 55 °C). For applications needing <0.01 % stability, pair with a positive-TC component or use temperature-compensated circuit topology.
