Product details
Overview
SZMMBZ5221BLT1G from onsemi is a 2.4 V ±5% Zener diode in SOT-23 package, rated for 225 mW power dissipation on FR-5 board at 25°C, with 1200 Ω dynamic impedance at 20 mA test current and 0.25 μA leakage at 1 V reverse bias - used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in compact portable power rails.
For engineers reviewing the SZMMBZ5221BLT1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±5%), thermal resistance (556 °C/W), ESD rating (>16 kV HBM), AEC-Q101 qualification, and SOT-23 footprint compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference diode with cathode-anode polarity, designed for stable reverse-biased regulation under low-current conditions (IZT = 20 mA). Its nominal 2.4 V Zener voltage exhibits a negative temperature coefficient near this range, requiring thermal derating above 25°C per 1.8 mW/°C.
The SOT-23 package features Pin 1 (Anode), Pin 2 (No Connection), and Pin 3 (Cathode), with void-free thermoset plastic construction, UL 94 V-0 flammability rating, and Pb-free/RoHS-compliant finish. It supports automated placement and reflow soldering up to 260°C for 10 seconds.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 2.4 V nominal, min 2.28 V / max 2.52 V @ IZT = 20 mA - defines regulated output voltage tolerance band for reference stability |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 225 mW on FR-5 board @ 25°C, derated 1.8 mW/°C - sets maximum continuous power handling before thermal shutdown risk |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 1200 Ω max @ IZT = 20 mA - indicates voltage regulation stiffness; lower values improve load regulation |
| Leakage Current (IR) | 0.25 μA max @ VR = 1 V - ensures minimal standby current draw in low-power sleep modes |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV) per Human Body Model - enables robust handling in manual assembly and field-repair environments |
| Junction Temp Range | −65°C to +150°C - supports operation in automotive under-hood and industrial ambient extremes |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23 (TO-236) surface-mount package, 2.90 mm × 1.30 mm × 1.00 mm body size, with cathode indicated by polarity band. Void-free thermoset plastic case, corrosion-resistant finish, UL 94 V-0 rated.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode | Connected to lower-potential side of regulated rail; reverse-biased during Zener operation |
| 2 | No Connection | Internally unconnected; must remain floating - no PCB trace or pad required |
| 3 | Cathode | Connected to higher-potential side; polarity band identifies this terminal for correct orientation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

| Pb-Free / RoHS Compliant | Fully compliant with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and halogen-free/BFR-free requirements - meets global environmental compliance mandates |
| Small Outline Package | SOT-23 footprint enables <1.0 mm² board area usage - critical for space-constrained wearable and IoT sensor nodes |
| High ESD Robustness | 16 kV HBM rating eliminates need for external TVS in many portable designs - reduces BOM count and layout complexity |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C2V4LT1G | Same 2.4 V nominal Zener, but 350 mW rating and 600 Ω ZZT; not AEC-Q101 qualified | Lacks automotive qualification and has higher power dissipation - better suited for non-automotive industrial use | Select when higher power margin or lower impedance is needed and AEC-Q101 is not required |
| SZBZX84C2V4LT1G | AEC-Q101 qualified, same 2.4 V rating, but 350 mW PD and 600 Ω ZZT; larger thermal resistance (429 °C/W) | Higher power capability but less precise regulation due to wider Zener tolerance (±6%) vs. SZMMBZ5221BLT1G's ±5% | Choose for automotive systems needing higher surge tolerance where tighter voltage tolerance is secondary |
Compared with BZX84-C2V4LT1G and SZBZX84C2V4LT1G, SZMMBZ5221BLT1G offers tighter voltage tolerance (±5%), lower leakage (0.25 μA), and optimized thermal performance for space-constrained automotive and portable designs - though at reduced power rating.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SZMMBZ5221BLT1G?
The SZMMBZ5221BLT1G has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±5% around its nominal 2.4 V rating, meaning the actual measured VZ falls between 2.28 V and 2.52 V at IZT = 20 mA and TA = 25°C. This tight tolerance supports precision reference applications where voltage drift must be minimized across operating conditions.
Is SZMMBZ5221BLT1G qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SZMMBZ5221BLT1G is AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, with full documentation supporting its use in automotive electronics. Its construction, testing, and traceability meet automotive quality system requirements - making it suitable for cabin controllers, body electronics, and ADAS subsystems where reliability under thermal and electrical stress is mandatory.
What is the maximum power dissipation for SZMMBZ5221BLT1G on standard PCB material?
SZMMBZ5221BLT1G is rated for 225 mW total power dissipation on FR-5 board at 25°C ambient, with linear derating of 1.8 mW/°C above that temperature. On alumina substrate, it supports up to 300 mW at 25°C. These ratings assume proper copper pour and thermal relief design per onsemi's layout guidelines.
Does SZMMBZ5221BLT1G have a no-connect pin, and how should it be handled on PCB?
Yes, SZMMBZ5221BLT1G uses Pin 2 as a no-connect terminal - it is internally unconnected and must remain electrically floating on the PCB. No trace, pad, or thermal connection should be made to Pin 2; doing so may compromise device reliability or cause unintended coupling paths in sensitive analog circuits.
What is the ESD rating of SZMMBZ5221BLT1G, and which model does it follow?
SZMMBZ5221BLT1G has an ESD rating of Class 3 per the Human Body Model (HBM), exceeding 16 kV. This rating is verified per ANSI/ESDA/JEDEC JS-001 and confirms robustness against common handling and system-level electrostatic events - eliminating the need for additional discrete ESD protection in many portable and automotive interfaces.
