Product details
Overview
SZMM5Z6V8T5G from onsemi is a 6.8 V ±5% Zener voltage regulator 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, used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in space-constrained portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the SZMM5Z6V8T5G 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 voltage reference, clamping reverse voltage at nominal 6.8 V with tight 6.4–7.2 V tolerance band at IZT = 5 mA. Its low 15 Ω dynamic impedance ensures stable regulation under varying load conditions.
Designed for surface-mount use on FR-4 boards, it features Pb-free matte tin plating, MSL 1 reflow compatibility up to 260 °C, and Class 3 ESD robustness (>16 kV HBM), making it suitable for automotive and industrial environments where reliability and miniaturization are critical.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX584C6V8 | Same 6.8 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, but SOD-323 package (1.7 × 1.3 mm); 200 mW PD; 40 Ω ZZT | Larger footprint and lower power rating limit use in high-current clamp or high-density layouts | Select when legacy SOD-323 footprint reuse is required and 500 mW derating is acceptable |
| MMSZ5236BT1G | 6.8 V nominal, ±5%, SOD-123 package (3.7 × 1.6 mm); 500 mW PD; 10 Ω ZZT; no AEC-Q101 | Higher Zener impedance spec but lacks automotive qualification and has 3× larger board area | Prefer for cost-sensitive industrial applications where AEC-Q101 is not mandated and layout space allows |
Compared with BZX584C6V8 and MMSZ5236BT1G, SZMM5Z6V8T5G uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, SOD-523 miniaturization, and 500 mW power capability-making it the only option qualified for automotive front-end electronics requiring both size and reliability assurance.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SZMM5Z6V8T5G?
The SZMM5Z6V8T5G has a specified Zener voltage range of 6.4 V to 7.2 V at 5 mA test current, corresponding to a ±5% tolerance around the nominal 6.8 V rating. This tolerance is verified per onsemi's standard test conditions at 25 °C ambient and applies to all units shipped under this part number.
Is SZMM5Z6V8T5G qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SZMM5Z6V8T5G is AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, with full documentation supporting its use in automotive body control modules, infotainment systems, and ADAS sub-systems. The "SZ" prefix explicitly denotes automotive-grade process and traceability controls per onsemi's qualification protocol.
What is the maximum power dissipation for SZMM5Z6V8T5G on a standard FR-4 board?
SZMM5Z6V8T5G delivers 500 mW steady-state power dissipation at 25 °C ambient on a single-sided FR-4 board with 1 cm² copper pad. Power must be linearly derated by 4.0 mW/°C above 25 °C, reaching zero at 150 °C junction temperature per the datasheet's absolute maximum ratings table.
Does SZMM5Z6V8T5G have ESD protection built-in?
Yes, SZMM5Z6V8T5G is rated Class 3 per Human Body Model (HBM) with >16 kV ESD withstand capability. This is an intrinsic property of the device structure and packaging, eliminating the need for external TVS diodes in many handheld and automotive interface applications.
What is the cathode identification method for SZMM5Z6V8T5G?
SZMM5Z6V8T5G uses Style 1 marking: a polarity band on the SOD-523 package identifies Pin 1 as the cathode. This band aligns with the cathode terminal in the mechanical outline drawing and must be oriented toward the higher-potential node in shunt regulator configurations.
