Product details
Overview
SZMM3Z6V8ST1G from onsemi is a 6.8 V ±5% Zener diode in SOD−323 package, rated for 500 mW steady-state power dissipation, with 160 Ω dynamic impedance at 5 mA test current and 2.0 μA reverse leakage at 4.0 V, used for precision voltage regulation in space-constrained portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the SZMM3Z6V8ST1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±5%), thermal resistance (250 °C/W with heatsink), ESD rating (>16 kV HBM), low capacitance (155 pF), and AEC−Q101 qualification for automotive use.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference diode, conducting in reverse breakdown to clamp voltage at 6.65–6.93 V under 5 mA test current. Its tight 5% tolerance and low temperature coefficient (1.2 mV/°C) support stable regulation across −65°C to +150°C junction temperature range.
Designed for surface-mount applications on high-density PCBs, it leverages the SOD−323 package's 1.7 mm × 1.25 mm footprint and 0.9 mm height. The cathode is marked by a polarity band, and the device meets UL 94 V−0 flammability rating with Pb−free, RoHS-compliant construction.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 6.65–6.93 V at 5 mA - defines precise clamping threshold for 5 V rail protection or reference generation |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 500 mW - supports continuous regulation in compact layouts without forced cooling |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 160 Ω max at IZT = 5 mA - ensures minimal output voltage variation under load transients |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 2.0 μA max at VR = 4.0 V - enables low-power standby operation in battery-powered systems |
| Capacitance (C) | 155 pF max at VR = 0 V, f = 1 MHz - limits high-frequency noise coupling in signal-path protection |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV HBM) - provides robust handling in automated assembly and end-user environments |
| Temperature Coefficient | +1.2 mV/°C at IZT = 5 mA - enables predictable drift compensation in temperature-varying circuits |

| 2 (Unmarked End) | Anode | Connected to ground or lower-potential reference; completes current path during regulation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

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-B6V8,115 | Same 6.8 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, but SOD-323 package with 300 mW rating and higher ZZT (200 Ω) | Lacks AEC−Q101 qualification and automotive PPAP capability | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive qualification or higher power margin is unnecessary |
| MMSZ4688T1G | 6.8 V nominal, ±5%, but SOD-123 package (larger footprint), 500 mW rating, ZZT = 150 Ω | Higher thermal resistance (350 °C/W) limits power handling in dense layouts | Select when board layout allows larger footprint and legacy SOD-123 tooling is preferred |
Compared with BZX384-B6V8,115 and MMSZ4688T1G, SZMM3Z6V8ST1G delivers superior thermal performance (250 °C/W with heatsink), automotive qualification, and tighter process control for high-reliability portable and vehicular applications - making it optimal where space, stability, and compliance are jointly constrained.

FAQ
What is the exact Zener voltage range specified for SZMM3Z6V8ST1G?
The SZMM3Z6V8ST1G has a guaranteed Zener voltage range of 6.65 V to 6.93 V at a test current of 5 mA, per the onsemi datasheet revision 27. This ±5% tolerance is measured under standard conditions (TA = 25°C) and reflects the device's tight regulation specification. The SZMM3Z6V8ST1G maintains this range across its qualified operating temperature span, supporting precision reference design without calibration.
Is SZMM3Z6V8ST1G suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SZMM3Z6V8ST1G is AEC−Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, with explicit automotive suitability noted in its part prefix "SZ" and datasheet documentation. It meets stringent automotive reliability requirements including temperature cycling, humidity testing, and mechanical shock. The SZMM3Z6V8ST1G is routinely deployed in infotainment, body control, and ADAS subsystems where certified component assurance is mandatory.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for SZMM3Z6V8ST1G and at what voltage is it specified?
The maximum reverse leakage current for SZMM3Z6V8ST1G is 2.0 μA, specified at a reverse voltage (VR) of 4.0 V and ambient temperature of 25°C. This low leakage supports energy-efficient operation in always-on circuits such as battery-monitoring paths or low-power sensor interfaces. The SZMM3Z6V8ST1G maintains leakage below 10 μA up to 6.0 V, ensuring predictable behavior near its knee voltage.
Does SZMM3Z6V8ST1G have RoHS and halogen-free compliance?
Yes, SZMM3Z6V8ST1G is fully RoHS compliant and constructed with halogen-free/BFR-free materials, as confirmed in the onsemi datasheet. The "G" suffix denotes Pb−free packaging, and the device carries UL 94 V−0 flammability rating. This compliance enables global deployment in consumer, medical, and industrial products subject to environmental regulatory mandates - a verified attribute of the SZMM3Z6V8ST1G.
What is the thermal resistance (RJA) of SZMM3Z6V8ST1G under standard PCB mounting conditions?
The thermal resistance from junction-to-ambient (RJA) for SZMM3Z6V8ST1G is 416 °C/W on a standard FR−4 board (1 cm² copper pad), and improves to 250 °C/W when mounted on a 38 mm² PCB with 1 in² copper heatsink. This dual-rating reflects real-world thermal design flexibility: the SZMM3Z6V8ST1G can sustain full 500 mW dissipation only with adequate copper area, critical for thermal validation in compact power-supply designs.
