Product details
Overview
SZMM5Z36VT5G from onsemi is a 36 V, ±5% tolerance Zener diode in SOD-523 package, rated for 500 mW steady-state power dissipation at 25 °C, with 90 Ω maximum Zener impedance at 1 mA test current and <0.05 μA reverse leakage at 28.8 V, used for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in space-constrained portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the SZMM5Z36VT5G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±5%), thermal resistance (250 °C/W), ESD rating (>16 kV HBM), AEC-Q101 qualification, and SOD-523 footprint compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference diode with sharp reverse breakdown at nominal 36 V, designed for stable regulation under low-current conditions (IZT = 1 mA for 27–75 V range). Its 250 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance and 0.7 mm body height enable reliable operation in thermally constrained environments.
The SZMM5Z36VT5G features Class 3 ESD robustness (>16 kV HBM), Pb-free matte tin lead finish, and MSL 1 reflow compatibility up to 260 °C - confirming suitability for automotive-grade assembly and automated surface-mount processes without derating.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 34 V min / 36 V nom / 38 V max at IZT = 1 mA - defines tight regulation window for 3.3 V/5 V rail clamping and reference stability. |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 500 mW at TA = 25 °C - supports continuous regulation in handheld devices without forced cooling. |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 90 Ω max at IZT = 1 mA - ensures minimal output voltage variation under dynamic load transients. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | <0.05 μA at VR = 28.8 V - guarantees negligible standby current in battery-powered systems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX584-C36 | Same 36 V nominal Zener voltage but ±5% tolerance, 300 mW rating, SOD-323 package (1.7 × 1.3 × 1.1 mm). | Larger footprint and lower power handling limit use in space-constrained or high-dissipation scenarios. | Select when legacy SOD-323 layout exists and thermal load remains below 300 mW. |
| MMSZ5245B | 36 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, 500 mW rating, but SOD-123 package (3.7 × 1.6 × 1.1 mm) and no AEC-Q101 qualification. | Not suitable for automotive applications; larger size impedes ultra-dense PCB integration. | Choose for cost-sensitive industrial designs where AEC-Q101 and miniaturization are not required. |
Compared with BZX584-C36 and MMSZ5245B, the SZMM5Z36VT5G uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, SOD-523 miniaturization, and 500 mW dissipation - making it the only option qualified for automotive front-end protection in next-gen compact ECUs.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SZMM5Z36VT5G?
The SZMM5Z36VT5G has a standard tolerance of ±5%, with a specified Zener voltage range of 34 V (minimum) to 38 V (maximum) at 1 mA test current. This tolerance is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the official onsemi datasheet, and applies across the full operating temperature range of −65 °C to +150 °C. The SZMM5Z36VT5G maintains this tolerance without requiring external trimming or calibration.
Is SZMM5Z36VT5G qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the SZMM5Z36VT5G is AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, as explicitly stated in the "Specification Features" section of the onsemi datasheet. The "SZ" prefix denotes automotive-grade screening, including stress testing for temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical shock. This qualification makes the SZMM5Z36VT5G suitable for use in engine control units, ADAS sensors, and infotainment systems where reliability under harsh conditions is mandatory.
What is the maximum power dissipation of SZMM5Z36VT5G at 85 °C ambient?
At 85 °C ambient temperature, the SZMM5Z36VT5G'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 = 260 mW. The derating curve in Figure 1 of the datasheet confirms this linear reduction, and the value assumes mounting on an FR-4 board with a 1 cm² copper pad as specified in Note 1.
Does SZMM5Z36VT5G have a defined Zener impedance at low current?
Yes, the SZMM5Z36VT5G specifies Zener impedance of 90 Ω maximum at IZT = 1 mA, and 500 Ω maximum at IZK = 0.1 mA, per the Electrical Characteristics table. These values are measured under standardized test conditions (TA = 25 °C) and define the device's ability to maintain stable regulation during light-load or standby operation - critical for battery-powered systems where current draw must remain predictable.
What marking code identifies SZMM5Z36VT5G on the SOD-523 package?
The SZMM5Z36VT5G is marked with "19" on the SOD-523 package, as shown in the Device Marking column of the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the onsemi datasheet. The "19" code appears adjacent to a cathode polarity band, and the "M" date code follows per the generic marking diagram. No "SZ" prefix appears on the physical device - the prefix is orderable-only and indicates automotive qualification in the part number.
