Product details
Overview
SZMM5Z9V1T5G from onsemi is a 9.1 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 0.2 μA reverse leakage at 7.0 V. It provides precision voltage regulation and overvoltage clamping in space-constrained portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the SZMM5Z9V1T5G 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 resistance of 250 °C/W.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference and transient clamp, leveraging silicon PN junction breakdown characteristics. Its 9.1 V nominal Zener voltage is specified at IZT = 5 mA with ±5% tolerance, and it maintains stable regulation across −65 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range.
The SOD-523 package enables high-density PCB layout with minimal board area and low profile (0.7 mm height). Thermal derating follows a linear 4.0 mW/°C reduction above 25 °C ambient, supported by a 250 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on FR-4 board.
Key Specifications

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SZMM5Z9V1T5G?
The SZMM5Z9V1T5G has a nominal Zener voltage of 9.1 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%, meaning its actual breakdown voltage falls between 8.5 V and 9.6 V when tested at IZT = 5 mA and TA = 25 °C. This tolerance is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the onsemi datasheet MM5Z2V4T1/D Rev. 19.
Is SZMM5Z9V1T5G qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SZMM5Z9V1T5G is AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, as explicitly stated in the "Specification Features" section of the datasheet. The "SZ" prefix denotes automotive-grade manufacturing controls, and the device meets stress testing requirements for automotive under-hood and cabin environments.
What is the maximum power dissipation for SZMM5Z9V1T5G at 85 °C ambient?
At 85 °C ambient, SZMM5Z9V1T5G's power dissipation must be derated linearly from 500 mW at 25 °C using the 4.0 mW/°C derating factor. So: 500 mW − (85 − 25) × 4.0 mW = 500 − 240 = 260 mW maximum continuous dissipation, verified in the Maximum Ratings table.
Does SZMM5Z9V1T5G have a defined cathode marking?
Yes, SZMM5Z9V1T5G uses Style 1 marking per the Mechanical Case Outline diagram: Pin 1 (cathode) is identified by a polarity band on the SOD-523 package body. This matches the generic marking diagram on page 1 of the datasheet and is consistent across all MM5ZxxxT5G-series devices.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for SZMM5Z9V1T5G?
SZMM5Z9V1T5G specifies a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 0.2 μA at VR = 7.0 V and TA = 25 °C, as listed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3. This low leakage supports extended battery life in always-on portable applications.
