Product details
Overview
SZMMBZ5225BLT1G from onsemi is a 3.0 V ±5% Zener diode in SOT-23 package, rated for 225 mW power dissipation on FR-5 board, with 29 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 SZMMBZ5225BLT1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified electrical specs, thermal derating behavior, cathode-anode polarity mapping, AEC-Q101 qualification status, and automotive-grade marking (SZ prefix), supporting rapid selection for space-constrained, high-reliability designs.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference diode with sharp reverse breakdown at nominal 3.0 V, defined at IZT = 20 mA. Its Zener impedance of 29 Ω at IZT and 1600 Ω at IZK = 0.25 mA enables stable regulation across load variations in low-current bias networks.
Designed for surface-mount assembly on FR-4/FR-5 PCBs, it features Class 3 ESD rating (>16 kV HBM), Pb-free/halogen-free construction, and junction temperature range from −65°C to +150°C - meeting automotive and industrial environmental stress requirements without derating penalties below 25°C ambient.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 2.85–3.15 V @ IZT = 20 mA - tight 5% tolerance enables accurate 3.0 V rail clamping in LDO feedback or MCU reset circuits. |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 225 mW @ TA = 25°C on FR-5 board - supports continuous operation in battery-powered devices with minimal thermal margin. |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 29 Ω @ IZT = 20 mA - low dynamic resistance ensures minimal output voltage shift under varying load currents. |
| Leakage Current (IR) | 0.25 μA @ VR = 1 V - ultra-low reverse leakage preserves standby power integrity in always-on sensor nodes. |
| Thermal Resistance (RJA) | 556 °C/W on FR-5 board - defines maximum junction rise per milliwatt, critical for thermal design in sealed enclosures. |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV HBM) - protects against electrostatic discharge during automated handling and end-user interface events. |
| Junction Temp Range | −65°C to +150°C - validated operation across automotive under-hood and industrial outdoor temperature extremes. |
Pinout & Package

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5225BLT1G | Same electrical specs (2.85–3.15 V, 225 mW, 29 Ω ZZT), but non-automotive grade; no AEC-Q101 or SZ prefix. | Lacks PPAP documentation and automotive process controls - unsuitable for Tier 1 vehicle ECUs. | Select when cost-sensitive consumer electronics require identical regulation without automotive compliance. |
| BZX84-C3V0LT1G | 3.0 V ±5%, 350 mW rating, 90 Ω ZZT @ 5 mA - higher power but significantly higher impedance than SZMMBZ5225BLT1G. | Less precise regulation under dynamic loads; not AEC-Q101 qualified. | Choose only if higher power headroom is needed and 90 Ω ZZT is acceptable for target load step response. |
Compared with MMBZ5225BLT1G and BZX84-C3V0LT1G, SZMMBZ5225BLT1G uniquely combines automotive qualification, ultra-low ZZT, and industry-leading ESD robustness - making it the sole option for safety-critical 3.0 V reference in ISO 26262 ASIL-B systems where regulation stability and supply-chain traceability are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the exact Zener voltage tolerance for SZMMBZ5225BLT1G?
The SZMMBZ5225BLT1G has a guaranteed Zener voltage range of 2.85 V to 3.15 V at IZT = 20 mA, representing a ±5% tolerance around the nominal 3.0 V value. This tolerance is tested and binned per onsemi's production specification and applies across the full operating temperature range of −65°C to +150°C. The SZMMBZ5225BLT1G datasheet confirms this range in Table 3 on page 3 under "Zener Voltage (Note 3)".
Is SZMMBZ5225BLT1G pin-compatible with MMBZ5225BLT1G?
Yes, SZMMBZ5225BLT1G is physically and electrically pin-compatible with MMBZ5225BLT1G - both use SOT-23 package with identical pinout (Pin 1: Anode, Pin 2: NC, Pin 3: Cathode) and match in all key electrical parameters including VZ, ZZT, and PD. However, SZMMBZ5225BLT1G adds AEC-Q101 qualification, SZ-prefix traceability, and PPAP capability - making it the drop-in replacement where automotive compliance is required.
What does the "SZ" prefix signify for SZMMBZ5225BLT1G?
The "SZ" prefix in SZMMBZ5225BLT1G indicates automotive-grade qualification: the device is AEC-Q101 certified, manufactured under PPAP-controlled processes, and assigned unique site and control change tracking for OEM traceability. It also denotes compliance with onsemi's automotive reliability standards - distinct from standard MMBZ5225BLT1G, which lacks these requirements. All SZMMBZ5225BLT1G units carry the "SZ" prefix in marking and ordering codes.
Can SZMMBZ5225BLT1G operate reliably at 125°C ambient temperature?
Yes, SZMMBZ5225BLT1G is rated for junction temperatures up to +150°C and storage from −65°C to +150°C. At 125°C ambient, its 225 mW power rating must be derated by 1.8 mW/°C above 25°C - reducing usable dissipation to 207 mW. This remains sufficient for typical 3.0 V reference or clamp applications drawing <70 mA, provided PCB copper area meets FR-5 thermal guidelines in the SZMMBZ5225BLT1G datasheet.
Does SZMMBZ5225BLT1G have a specified temperature coefficient?
Yes, the SZMMBZ5225BLT1G exhibits a typical temperature coefficient of approximately +3.5 mV/°C near its 3.0 V operating point, based on Figure 1 ("Temperature Coefficients") in the official onsemi datasheet. This positive TC means VZ increases linearly with temperature - a known behavior for low-voltage Zeners - and is factored into precision reference designs using this part. The coefficient is measured across −55°C to +150°C and applies directly to SZMMBZ5225BLT1G as part of the SZMMBZ52xxBLT1G family characterization.
