Product details
Overview
SZMM5Z3V0T5G from onsemi is a 3.0 V Zener voltage regulator diode in SOD-523 package, rated for 500 mW steady-state power dissipation at 25 °C, with ±10% tolerance (2.8–3.2 V), 100 Ω max Zener impedance at 2 mA test current, and 10 µA max reverse leakage at 1.0 V. It provides precision low-voltage regulation in space-constrained portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the SZMM5Z3V0T5G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, 16 kV HBM ESD rating, SOD-523 footprint compatibility, and stable 3.0 V reference under low-current bias conditions.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal shunt voltage regulator, maintaining a stable 3.0 V reference across its cathode-anode terminals when reverse-biased above its breakdown threshold. Its 2 mA Zener test current and 100 Ω dynamic impedance ensure predictable regulation in low-power bias networks.
The SOD-523 package enables high-density PCB placement with 1.20 mm × 0.80 mm body and 0.7 mm height, while its Pb-free matte tin finish supports lead-free reflow up to 260 °C and meets MSL 1 requirements.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 3.0 V nominal (2.8–3.2 V range); provides stable 3.0 V reference for low-voltage biasing and overvoltage clamping. |
| Power Rating (PD) | 500 mW at 25 °C; derates linearly at 4.0 mW/°C above ambient - limits usable current to ~167 mA at 3.0 V in continuous operation. |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 100 Ω max at IZT = 2 mA; ensures minimal output voltage variation under small-signal load changes. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 10 µA max at VR = 1.0 V; guarantees low quiescent current in standby or sensing circuits. |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV) per HBM; protects against electrostatic discharge during handling and board assembly without external protection. |
| Operating Temperature | −65 °C to +150 °C junction range; supports automotive under-hood and industrial ambient environments. |
Pinout & Package
SOD-523 surface-mount package: 1.20 mm × 0.80 mm body, 0.7 mm height, void-free thermosetting plastic case, matte tin lead finish, MSL 1 compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Banded End) | Cathode | Connected to regulated voltage node; accepts reverse bias current to maintain 3.0 V reference. |
| 2 | Anode | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; completes shunt regulation path for current sink operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Validated for automotive applications including infotainment power rails and sensor biasing where reliability under thermal cycling and vibration is critical. |
| 16 kV HBM ESD Protection | Eliminates need for discrete ESD protection components in handheld and wearable designs with exposed I/O or compact layouts. |
| 0.7 mm Low Profile | Enables stacking under connectors or beneath shields in ultra-thin mobile PCBs without mechanical interference. |
| Pb-Free & RoHS Compliant | Meets global environmental compliance mandates and supports lead-free reflow profiles up to 260 °C without delamination risk. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MM5Z3V0T5G | Same electrical specs and SOD-523 package, but not AEC-Q101 qualified; lacks automotive traceability and PPAP documentation. | Restricted to commercial-grade consumer electronics; unsuitable for automotive OEM or Tier-1 BOMs requiring PPAP submission. | Select MM5Z3V0T5G only for cost-sensitive non-automotive designs where AEC-Q101 is not mandated. |
| BZX584-C3V0 | 3.0 V Zener in SOD-323 package (1.7 × 1.3 mm); higher 250 mW power rating but larger footprint and no AEC-Q101 certification. | Requires PCB layout change due to different pad dimensions and polarity marking; not drop-in compatible. | Choose BZX584-C3V0 only if higher power margin is needed and board real estate allows SOD-323 placement. |
Compared with MM5Z3V0T5G and BZX584-C3V0, SZMM5Z3V0T5G uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, 500 mW rating, and minimal SOD-523 footprint - making it the sole option for automotive-grade 3.0 V regulation in space-limited modules.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SZMM5Z3V0T5G?
The SZMM5Z3V0T5G has a standard tolerance of ±10%, with a specified Zener voltage range of 2.8 V to 3.2 V at 2 mA test current (IZT). This tolerance is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the official onsemi datasheet (Rev. 19, April 2025), and applies directly to the SZMM5Z3V0T5G variant as part of the SZ-prefix automotive-qualified series.
Is SZMM5Z3V0T5G suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SZMM5Z3V0T5G is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, as stated in the "Specification Features" section of the onsemi datasheet. The "SZ" prefix denotes compliance with automotive-specific site and control change requirements, and the device is rated for junction temperatures from −65 °C to +150 °C - meeting typical under-hood and cabin module environmental demands.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for SZMM5Z3V0T5G?
The maximum reverse leakage current (IR) for SZMM5Z3V0T5G is 10 µA at VR = 1.0 V and TA = 25 °C, per the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the onsemi datasheet. This value is measured under standardized conditions and applies directly to the SZMM5Z3V0T5G part number.
Does SZMM5Z3V0T5G have ESD protection?
Yes, SZMM5Z3V0T5G features Class 3 ESD protection (>16 kV) per the Human Body Model (HBM), as documented in the "Specification Features" section of the onsemi datasheet. This rating is intrinsic to the device structure and does not require external components to achieve robust handling and board-level ESD resilience.
What is the thermal resistance (RJA) of SZMM5Z3V0T5G on FR-4 board?
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RJA) of SZMM5Z3V0T5G is 250 °C/W when mounted on a single-sided FR-4 PCB with a 1 cm² copper pad, as specified in the "Maximum Ratings" table on page 1 of the onsemi datasheet. This value governs power derating above 25 °C ambient and is validated for the SOD-523 package configuration used by SZMM5Z3V0T5G.
