Product details
Overview
SZMM5Z5V1T5G from onsemi is a 5.1 V ±5% Zener voltage regulator diode in SOD-523 package, rated for 500 mW steady-state power dissipation at 25 °C, with 60 Ω maximum Zener impedance at 5 mA test current and 2 µA reverse leakage at 2 V, used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in space-constrained portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the SZMM5Z5V1T5G 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 shunt voltage regulator, maintaining stable output voltage across variable load currents by conducting reverse breakdown current above its nominal 5.1 V Zener voltage. It exhibits low dynamic impedance (60 Ω @ IZT = 5 mA) and tight voltage tolerance (4.8–5.4 V), enabling accurate clamping in low-power signal conditioning paths.
Designed for surface-mount assembly on FR-4 boards, it supports reflow up to 260 °C and meets MSL 1 requirements. Its 1.20 mm × 0.80 mm × 0.70 mm body and 100% matte tin lead finish ensure compatibility with automated pick-and-place and lead-free soldering processes.
Key Specifications

| Power Dissipation (PD) | 500 mW @ TA = 25 °C - sets maximum continuous thermal load on PCB without heatsinking |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 60 Ω max @ IZT = 5 mA - ensures minimal voltage shift under varying load current |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 2 µA max @ VR = 2 V - guarantees low standby current in battery-powered systems |
| ESD Rating | >16 kV per Human Body Model - provides robust handling immunity during manufacturing and field operation |
| Temperature Coefficient | −2.7 mV/°C @ IZT - quantifies voltage drift over operating temperature range (−65 to +150 °C) |
| Capacitance | 225 pF max @ VR = 0 V, f = 1 MHz - limits high-frequency noise coupling in RF-adjacent circuits |

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SZMM5Z5V1T5G?
The SZMM5Z5V1T5G has a standard tolerance of ±5%, with a specified Zener voltage range of 4.8 V minimum to 5.4 V maximum at 5 mA test current (IZT). This tolerance is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the onsemi datasheet (Rev. 19, April 2025), and applies across the full operating temperature range of −65 °C to +150 °C.
Is SZMM5Z5V1T5G qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SZMM5Z5V1T5G is AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, as explicitly stated in the "Specification Features" section of the onsemi datasheet. The "SZ" prefix denotes devices meeting automotive-specific site and control change requirements, making SZMM5Z5V1T5G suitable for under-hood and cabin electronics where reliability under thermal cycling and vibration is critical.
What is the maximum Zener impedance of SZMM5Z5V1T5G and at what condition?
The maximum Zener impedance (ZZT) of SZMM5Z5V1T5G is 60 Ω, measured at the Zener test current IZT = 5 mA and ambient temperature TA = 25 °C. This value is documented in the Electrical Characteristics table (page 3) and directly impacts voltage regulation stability under dynamic load conditions.
Does SZMM5Z5V1T5G have an ESD rating, and if so, what is it?
SZMM5Z5V1T5G has an ESD rating of Class 3 per the Human Body Model (HBM), exceeding 16 kV. This specification is listed in the "Specification Features" section of the onsemi datasheet and reflects validated robustness against electrostatic discharge during handling, assembly, and end-use in consumer and automotive environments.
What is the thermal resistance (RJA) of SZMM5Z5V1T5G on FR-4 board?
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RJA) of SZMM5Z5V1T5G is 250 °C/W when mounted on a single-sided FR-4 board with a 1 cm² copper pad, as specified in the "Maximum Ratings" table. This value determines allowable power dissipation at elevated ambient temperatures and must be applied with the derating curve shown in Figure 1 of the datasheet.
