Product details
Overview
SZMM5Z27VT1G from onsemi is a 27 V, ±5% tolerance Zener diode in SOD-523 package, rated for 500 mW steady-state power dissipation at 25 °C, with 80 Ω maximum Zener impedance at 1 mA test current and 0.05 μA reverse leakage at 21.4 V. It provides precision voltage regulation and overvoltage clamping in space-constrained portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the SZMM5Z27VT1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, thermal derating behavior, ESD robustness (16 kV HBM), low-profile SOD-523 footprint, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference and transient suppressor, leveraging silicon PN-junction Zener breakdown at 27 V nominal. Its 1 mA Zener test current (IZT) and 0.5 mA knee current (IZK) define stable regulation onset and low-current performance boundaries.
Thermal design is constrained by 250 °C/W junction-to-ambient resistance on FR-4 board and 4.0 mW/°C linear derating above 25 °C. The SOD-523 package enables mounting in any orientation with MSL 1 reflow compatibility up to 260 °C.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX584C27LT1G | Same 27 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, but SOD-323 package (1.7 mm × 1.3 mm); 350 mW PD; 110 Ω ZZT | Larger footprint and lower power rating limit use in ultra-dense layouts or higher-power clamping | Select when SOD-323 is already standardized in BOM and 350 mW suffices |

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SZMM5Z27VT1G?
SZMM5Z27VT1G has a nominal Zener voltage of 27 V with a tolerance of ±5%, meaning its actual breakdown voltage falls between 25.1 V and 28.9 V when tested at 1 mA (IZT). This tolerance is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the onsemi datasheet, and applies under standard conditions of TA = 25 °C.
Is SZMM5Z27VT1G qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SZMM5Z27VT1G is AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, as explicitly stated in the "Specification Features" section of the datasheet. The "SZ" prefix denotes compliance with automotive-specific site and process controls, making SZMM5Z27VT1G suitable for use in automotive infotainment, body control modules, and ADAS sensor interfaces.
What is the maximum power dissipation for SZMM5Z27VT1G at 85 °C ambient?
At 85 °C ambient, SZMM5Z27VT1G's maximum power dissipation is 260 mW. This is calculated using the 4.0 mW/°C derating factor from the Maximum Ratings table: 500 mW − (85 − 25) × 4.0 mW = 260 mW. Derating assumes mounting on an FR-4 board with a 1 cm² copper pad per the datasheet note.
Does SZMM5Z27VT1G have a defined cathode marking?
Yes, SZMM5Z27VT1G uses Style 1 marking per the Mechanical Case Outline diagram: Pin 1 is the cathode and is identified by a polarity band on the SOD-523 package body. The band must be aligned toward the designated cathode net on the PCB to ensure correct Zener conduction direction during overvoltage events.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for SZMM5Z27VT1G?
SZMM5Z27VT1G specifies a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 0.05 μA at a reverse voltage (VR) of 21.4 V, as listed in the Electrical Characteristics table. This low leakage supports extended battery life in always-on portable devices and ensures minimal parasitic loading on reference nodes.
