Product details
Overview
SZMM5Z5V6T1G from onsemi is a 5.6 V, ±5% tolerance Zener diode in SOD-523 package, rated for 500 mW steady-state power dissipation at 25 °C, with 40 Ω maximum Zener impedance at 5 mA test current and 1 μA reverse leakage at 2.5 V, used for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in space-constrained portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the SZMM5Z5V6T1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±5%), low-profile SOD-523 footprint (1.20 mm × 0.80 mm), AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use, ESD robustness (>16 kV HBM), and thermal derating behavior above 25 °C.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference by exploiting controlled reverse breakdown in a silicon PN junction. It maintains stable 5.6 V regulation across 1 mA to 5 mA Zener test currents, with temperature coefficient of −2.0 mV/°C and capacitance of 200 pF at 0 V bias and 1 MHz.
The SOD-523 package enables surface-mount integration on high-density PCBs, with MSL 1 reflow compatibility up to 260 °C and Pb-free matte tin lead finish. Its cathode-anode polarity is marked by a band on terminal 1, consistent with JEDEC standard orientation for discrete diodes.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX584C5V6LT1G | Same 5.6 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, but SOD-323 package (1.7 mm × 1.3 mm) - 42% larger footprint | Higher thermal resistance (RJA = 300 °C/W vs. 250 °C/W) limits power handling in confined layouts | Select when legacy SOD-323 land pattern exists and board rework is impractical |
| MMSZ5232BT1G | 5.6 V nominal, ±5%, but SOD-123 package (3.7 mm × 1.6 mm) - 3.1× larger area than SOD-523 | Rated for 500 mW but higher ZZT (60 Ω) reduces regulation precision under dynamic loads | Prefer for cost-sensitive industrial designs where size is secondary to procurement availability |
Compared with BZX584C5V6LT1G and MMSZ5232BT1G, SZMM5Z5V6T1G delivers identical voltage regulation performance in the smallest possible footprint, enabling higher PCB density and improved thermal response in automotive and portable applications where space and reliability are co-constrained.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SZMM5Z5V6T1G?
The SZMM5Z5V6T1G has a specified Zener voltage tolerance of ±5% at IZT = 5 mA, meaning its breakdown voltage falls within 5.2 V to 6.0 V under standard test conditions. This tolerance is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the official onsemi datasheet (Rev. 19, April 2025). The SZMM5Z5V6T1G maintains this specification across its qualified operating temperature range.
Is SZMM5Z5V6T1G suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SZMM5Z5V6T1G is explicitly qualified to AEC-Q101 standards and designated with the "SZ" prefix, indicating compliance with automotive-specific site and process controls, PPAP capability, and enhanced traceability. Its guaranteed operation from −65 °C to +150 °C junction temperature and >16 kV HBM ESD rating make it appropriate for under-hood and cabin electronics where reliability under thermal and electrical stress is critical.
What is the maximum power dissipation of SZMM5Z5V6T1G on a standard FR-4 board?
SZMM5Z5V6T1G has a maximum steady-state power dissipation of 500 mW at ambient temperature (TA) = 25 °C on an FR-4 board with a 1 cm² copper pad. Above 25 °C, it derates linearly at 4.0 mW/°C, reaching zero dissipation at approximately 150 °C ambient. This derating curve is documented in Figure 1 of the onsemi datasheet and reflects real-world thermal performance on typical PCB layouts.
Does SZMM5Z5V6T1G have a defined polarity marking, and how is it oriented?
Yes, SZMM5Z5V6T1G uses Style 1 marking per the SOD-523 mechanical drawing: Terminal 1 is the cathode and is identified by a visible polarity band. Terminal 2 is the anode. This orientation is standardized across all onsemi SOD-523 Zener diodes and matches JEDEC MO-203-AB packaging conventions for unidirectional voltage regulation devices.
What is the Zener impedance of SZMM5Z5V6T1G, and why does it matter?
SZMM5Z5V6T1G has a maximum Zener impedance (ZZT) of 40 Ω at IZT = 5 mA. This parameter directly affects regulation stability: lower ZZT means smaller output voltage variation under changing load current, which is essential for precision clamping in sensitive analog circuits and feedback networks where even millivolt-level shifts impact system accuracy.
