Product details
Overview
SZMM5Z6V8T1G from onsemi is a 6.8 V ±5% Zener diode in SOD-523 package, rated for 500 mW steady-state power dissipation at 25 °C, with 15 Ω max Zener impedance at 5 mA test current and 2 µA max reverse leakage at 4.0 V. It provides precision voltage regulation and overvoltage clamping in space-constrained portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the SZMM5Z6V8T1G 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, 16 kV HBM ESD rating, and thermal derating behavior above 25 °C.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference and transient clamp, leveraging silicon PN junction breakdown. Its Zener voltage is specified at IZT = 5 mA with nominal 6.8 V, min 6.4 V, max 7.2 V, and exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +1.2 mV/°C.
The SOD-523 package enables high-density PCB placement with MSL 1 reflow compatibility (260 °C peak), 100% matte tin lead finish, and UL 94 V-0 compliant epoxy. Thermal resistance is 250 °C/W junction-to-ambient on FR-4 board.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SZMM5Z6V8T1G?
The SZMM5Z6V8T1G has a standard tolerance of ±5% around its nominal 6.8 V Zener voltage, meaning the actual breakdown voltage falls between 6.4 V and 7.2 V when tested at 5 mA. This tolerance is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range and is verified per onsemi's production test flow for the SZMM5ZxxxT1G series.
Is SZMM5Z6V8T1G qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SZMM5Z6V8T1G is AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, meeting the stress test requirements for discrete semiconductors used in automotive electronics. The "SZ" prefix explicitly denotes automotive-grade manufacturing controls, site-specific process validation, and extended reliability testing beyond commercial-grade equivalents.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for SZMM5Z6V8T1G?
The maximum reverse leakage current for SZMM5Z6V8T1G is 2 µA at VR = 4.0 V and TA = 25 °C, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the onsemi datasheet. This value remains valid across the full storage temperature range and supports low-power design goals in battery-operated devices.
Can SZMM5Z6V8T1G be used in high-density PCB layouts?
Yes, SZMM5Z6V8T1G uses the SOD-523 package measuring just 1.20 mm × 0.80 mm × 0.70 mm, making it one of the smallest standardized Zener packages available. Its compact size and low profile allow placement adjacent to fine-pitch BGAs and in multi-layer stackups where vertical clearance is limited to under 0.8 mm.
What is the thermal derating behavior of SZMM5Z6V8T1G?
SZMM5Z6V8T1G derates linearly at 4.0 mW/°C above 25 °C ambient temperature, with a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 250 °C/W on a standard FR-4 board with 1 cm² copper pad. Full 500 mW power dissipation is only guaranteed at TA ≤ 25 °C; at 85 °C ambient, maximum allowable power drops to 260 mW.
