Product details
Overview
SZMM5Z3V9T5G from onsemi is a 3.9 V ±5% Zener diode in SOD-523 package, rated for 500 mW steady-state power dissipation at 25 °C, with 90 Ω maximum Zener impedance at 5 mA test current and 3 µA reverse leakage at 1 V, used for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in space-constrained portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the SZMM5Z3V9T5G 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 3.9 V, designed for stable regulation under low-current conditions (IZT = 5 mA). Its temperature coefficient of −3.5 mV/°C ensures predictable drift across −65 °C to +150 °C junction range.
The SOD-523 package enables surface-mount integration with minimal board area (1.20 mm × 0.80 mm) and low profile (0.7 mm height), while its 100% matte tin lead finish supports lead-free reflow up to 260 °C and meets MSL 1 requirements.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for SZMM5Z3V9T5G?
The SZMM5Z3V9T5G has a nominal Zener voltage of 3.9 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%, meaning the actual breakdown voltage falls between 3.7 V and 4.2 V when tested at 5 mA reverse current and 25 °C ambient temperature. This tolerance is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the onsemi datasheet.
Is SZMM5Z3V9T5G qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SZMM5Z3V9T5G is AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, as explicitly stated in the datasheet's Specification Features section. The "SZ" prefix denotes compliance with automotive-specific site and control change requirements, enabling use in engine control units, body electronics, and infotainment systems.
What is the maximum power dissipation of SZMM5Z3V9T5G at 85 °C ambient?
At 85 °C ambient temperature, SZMM5Z3V9T5G's maximum power dissipation is derated to 260 mW. This is calculated from its 500 mW rating at 25 °C and 4.0 mW/°C derating factor: 500 mW − (85 − 25) × 4.0 mW = 260 mW, per the Maximum Ratings table in the datasheet.
Does SZMM5Z3V9T5G have a specified forward voltage?
Yes, SZMM5Z3V9T5G has a maximum forward voltage of 0.9 V at 10 mA forward current, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This parameter applies to anode-to-cathode conduction and is relevant for polarity-checking or bidirectional ESD protection configurations.
What packaging option does SZMM5Z3V9T5G use?
SZMM5Z3V9T5G is supplied in tape-and-reel packaging with 8,000 units per reel, as indicated in the Ordering Information table. The "T5G" suffix denotes this high-volume packaging format, compatible with automated SMT placement equipment and conforming to onsemi's tape and reel specifications brochure BRD8011/D.
