Product details
Overview
SZMM5Z4685T1G from onsemi is a 3.6 V nominal Zener voltage regulator diode in SOD−523 package, rated for 500 mW power dissipation at TL = 75°C, with 50 µA test current (IZT), 2 V reverse leakage voltage (VR), and 7.5 µA reverse leakage current (IR) - used for precision low-voltage reference and overvoltage clamping in space-constrained portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the SZMM5Z4685T1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its 3.6 V ±5% Zener tolerance, −55°C to +150°C operating range, AEC−Q101 qualification, 16 kV HBM ESD rating, and SOD−523 footprint compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal silicon Zener diode optimized for stable voltage regulation under reverse bias, with specified Zener voltage measured at IZT = 50 µA and thermal equilibrium at TL = 30°C ±1°C. Its temperature coefficient is near zero around 3.6 V, minimizing drift across −55°C to +150°C.
The SOD−523 package enables automated placement and reflow soldering per JEDEC standards, with 260°C/10s maximum soldering temperature and UL 94 V−0 flammability rating. It features cathode polarity band marking and Pb−Free, RoHS-compliant construction.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX584-C3V6 | 3.6 V ±5%, SOD-323 package (1.7 × 1.3 mm), 300 mW PD, 5 µA IR @ 2 V | Lower power rating and larger footprint limit use in ultra-dense layouts; better leakage performance | Select when lower leakage dominates over board area constraints and thermal derating is less critical |
| MMSZ4685T1G | 3.6 V ±5%, SOD-123 package (3.7 × 1.6 mm), 500 mW PD, 7.5 µA IR @ 2 V, same Zener curve | Larger footprint increases PCB area by 3.5× but improves thermal mass and manual rework accessibility | Select when higher thermal robustness or hand-soldering feasibility is prioritized over miniaturization |

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SZMM5Z4685T1G?
The SZMM5Z4685T1G has a nominal Zener voltage of 3.6 V with a guaranteed tolerance of ±5%, corresponding to a minimum of 3.42 V and maximum of 3.78 V when tested at IZT = 50 µA and thermal equilibrium at TL = 30°C ±1°C. This tight tolerance ensures predictable clamping behavior in precision reference and protection circuits where voltage margin is critical.
Is SZMM5Z4685T1G qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SZMM5Z4685T1G is AEC−Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, with the "SZ" prefix explicitly indicating compliance for automotive and other applications requiring unique site and control change requirements. Its −55°C to +150°C operating range, 16 kV HBM ESD rating, and Pb−Free/RoHS construction meet stringent automotive reliability standards.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for SZMM5Z4685T1G?
The maximum reverse leakage current (IR) for SZMM5Z4685T1G is 7.5 µA when measured at VR = 2 V and TA = 25°C. This low leakage supports ultra-low-power operation in battery-powered devices such as wearables and remote sensors, where standby current must remain below 10 µA to extend operational lifetime.
Can SZMM5Z4685T1G be used in place of MM5Z4685T1G?
Yes, SZMM5Z4685T1G is the automotive-grade variant of MM5Z4685T1G, sharing identical electrical specifications including Zener voltage, power rating, and leakage current. The primary differences are enhanced process controls, extended qualification testing, and PPAP documentation - making SZMM5Z4685T1G suitable for automotive use where MM5Z4685T1G is not certified.
What is the thermal resistance of SZMM5Z4685T1G?
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RJA) of SZMM5Z4685T1G is 250°C/W, measured via infrared scan method on FR−5 board. This value informs thermal design for sustained operation: at 500 mW dissipation, junction temperature rise above ambient is ~125°C, requiring careful layout and thermal relief to maintain TJ ≤ +150°C under worst-case conditions.
