Product details
Overview
SZMM5Z5V6T5G from onsemi is a 5.6 V ±5% Zener diode in SOD-523 package, rated for 500 mW steady-state power dissipation at 25 °C, with 40 Ω max Zener impedance at 5 mA test current and 1 μA max reverse leakage at 2.8 V, used for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in space-constrained portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the SZMM5Z5V6T5G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±5%), low-profile SOD-523 footprint (1.20 × 0.80 × 0.60 mm), AEC-Q101 qualification, ESD rating >16 kV HBM, and thermal resistance of 250 °C/W.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference diode, conducting in reverse breakdown to clamp voltage at its nominal Zener voltage (5.6 V) within ±5% tolerance when biased above its knee current (IZK = 1 mA). It exhibits low dynamic impedance (40 Ω max at IZT = 5 mA) and tight temperature coefficient (−2.0 mV/°C) for stable regulation across temperature.
Designed for surface-mount use on FR-4 PCBs, it delivers 500 mW power handling with linear derating above 25 °C (4.0 mW/°C), and meets MSL 1 reflow requirements (260 °C peak). Its 100% matte tin lead finish and Pb-free, RoHS-compliant construction support automated assembly and automotive-grade reliability.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX584C5V6 | Same 5.6 V ±5%, but SOD-323 package (1.7 × 1.3 × 0.9 mm) - 42% larger footprint and 0.3 mm taller | Less suitable for ultra-dense layouts; higher thermal resistance (300 °C/W) reduces power margin at elevated ambient | Select only if SOD-323 is already standardized in design and board real estate permits |
| MMSZ5232BT1G | 5.6 V ±5%, SOD-123 package (3.7 × 1.6 × 1.1 mm) - 3.1× larger area, 1.8× taller, 1000 mW rating | Over-specified power handling increases cost and board area; not AEC-Q101 qualified | Prefer only for non-automotive industrial designs requiring higher surge energy absorption |
Compared with BZX584C5V6 and MMSZ5232BT1G, SZMM5Z5V6T5G offers the smallest footprint and lowest profile among 5.6 V Zeners while delivering automotive-grade qualification and optimal thermal performance for space-limited portable and automotive applications.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SZMM5Z5V6T5G?
SZMM5Z5V6T5G has a nominal Zener voltage of 5.6 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%, meaning its actual breakdown voltage falls between 5.2 V and 6.0 V when tested at 5 mA (IZT) and 25 °C. This tolerance is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the onsemi datasheet (Rev. 19, April 2025), and applies to all units in the SZMM5Z5V6T5G production lot.
Is SZMM5Z5V6T5G qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SZMM5Z5V6T5G is AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, as explicitly stated in the "Specification Features" section of the onsemi datasheet. The "SZ" prefix denotes compliance with automotive-specific site and control change requirements, making SZMM5Z5V6T5G suitable for use in automotive infotainment, body electronics, and ADAS subsystems where reliability under thermal and vibration stress is critical.
What is the maximum power dissipation of SZMM5Z5V6T5G at 70 °C ambient?
At 70 °C ambient, SZMM5Z5V6T5G's maximum power dissipation is 320 mW. This is calculated from its 500 mW rating at 25 °C and 4.0 mW/°C derating factor: 500 mW − (70 − 25) × 4.0 mW = 320 mW. This value is specified in the "Maximum Ratings" table (Note 1) and validated on FR-4 boards with 1 cm² copper pad, per the onsemi datasheet.
Does SZMM5Z5V6T5G have a defined polarity marking?
Yes, SZMM5Z5V6T5G uses Style 1 marking per the mechanical outline diagram: Pin 1 (cathode) is identified by a polarity band on the SOD-523 package body, while Pin 2 (anode) is unmarked. This marking is consistent across all SZMM5ZxxxT5G devices and is documented in the "MARKING DIAGRAM" section (page 4) and "MECHANICAL CASE OUTLINE" drawing (ISSUE F, 08 FEB 2024).
What is the reverse leakage current specification for SZMM5V6T5G at 2.8 V?
The reverse leakage current for SZMM5Z5V6T5G is specified as 1 μA maximum at VR = 2.8 V and TA = 25 °C, as listed in the "ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS − Standard Tolerance Series" table on page 3 of the onsemi datasheet. This low leakage ensures minimal quiescent current draw in always-on protection circuits, preserving battery life in portable applications.
