Product details
Overview
SZMM5Z6V8ST1G from onsemi is a 6.8 V ±5% Zener diode in SOD-523 package, rated for 500 mW steady-state power dissipation, with 15 Ω max Zener impedance at 5 mA test current and 4.0 µA max reverse leakage at 5.44 V, used for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in space-constrained portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the SZMM5Z6V8ST1G 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, and Class 3 ESD rating (>16 kV HBM).
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference diode, conducting in reverse breakdown to clamp voltage at 6.65–6.93 V under 5 mA test current. Its tight tolerance (±5%) and low dynamic impedance (15 Ω max at IZT) support stable regulation in low-power biasing and feedback networks.
Designed for surface-mount assembly on FR-4 PCBs, it features Pb-free matte tin plating, MSL 1 reflow compatibility (260 °C peak), and operates across −65 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range-enabling use in automotive cabin modules and industrial handheld devices.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SZMM5Z6V8ST1G?
The SZMM5Z6V8ST1G has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±5%, with a specified range of 6.65 V to 6.93 V at 5 mA test current. This tight tolerance ensures predictable clamping behavior in precision reference and protection circuits. The value is measured and guaranteed per onsemi's Electrical Characteristics table and applies across the full operating temperature range.
Is SZMM5Z6V8ST1G qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SZMM5Z6V8ST1G is AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, with the "SZ" prefix indicating compliance for automotive and other applications requiring unique site and control change requirements. It meets stringent reliability testing for temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical shock-making it suitable for cabin electronics, body control modules, and sensor interfaces.
What is the maximum power dissipation for SZMM5Z6V8ST1G at 75 °C ambient?
At 75 °C ambient, SZMM5Z6V8ST1G derates linearly from its 500 mW rating at 25 °C using a 4.0 mW/°C slope. This yields 500 mW − (50 °C × 4.0 mW/°C) = 300 mW maximum allowable dissipation. Thermal resistance (RJA) is 250 °C/W on FR-4 with 1 cm² copper pad, confirming this derating aligns with JEDEC standards.
Does SZMM5Z6V8ST1G have an ESD rating, and if so, what is it?
SZMM5Z6V8ST1G carries a Class 3 Human Body Model (HBM) ESD rating exceeding 16 kV, verified per ANSI/ESDA/JEDEC JS-001. This high immunity protects the device during automated handling, PCB assembly, and end-use in environments prone to static discharge-such as factory floors and automotive service bays.
What is the forward voltage drop of SZMM5Z6V8ST1G at 10 mA?
The forward voltage drop (VF) of SZMM5Z6V8ST1G is guaranteed to be ≤0.9 V at 10 mA forward current, per the onsemi datasheet's Electrical Characteristics table. This low VF supports efficient use in polarity-protection circuits and bidirectional clamping configurations where forward conduction may occur.
