Product details
Overview
SZMMBZ5227BLT1G from onsemi is a 3.6 V ±5% Zener diode in SOT-23 package, rated for 225 mW power dissipation on FR-5 board, with 24 Ω dynamic impedance at 20 mA test current and 15 μA reverse leakage at 1 V, used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in portable power rails.
For engineers reviewing the SZMMBZ5227BLT1G 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-bias regulation under DC or low-frequency transient conditions. Its 3.6 V nominal Zener voltage exhibits a near-zero temperature coefficient in the 3–6 V range, minimizing drift across −65°C to +150°C operating junction temperature.
The SOT-23 package features a no-connect (NC) terminal (Pin 2), enabling mechanical stability without electrical function-distinct from dual-anode or dual-cathode variants. It supports automated placement and reflow soldering up to 260°C for 10 seconds, with UL 94 V-0 flammability rating and Pb-free, halogen-free construction.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 3.42 V min / 3.6 V nom / 3.78 V max @ IZT = 20 mA - defines regulated output voltage window under standard test conditions |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 225 mW @ TA = 25°C on FR-5 board - sets maximum continuous power handling before thermal derating begins |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 24 Ω max @ IZT = 20 mA - determines regulation stiffness and output voltage variation under load changes |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 15 μA max @ VR = 1 V - specifies off-state current that affects standby power and signal integrity in high-impedance nodes |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5227BLT1G | Same Zener voltage (3.6 V), identical SOT-23 pinout, but not AEC-Q101 qualified; 225 mW rating unchanged | Lacks automotive qualification; suitable for commercial portable electronics but not under-hood or safety-critical systems | Select when AEC-Q101 compliance is unnecessary and cost optimization is prioritized |
| SZMMBZ5226BLT1G | 3.3 V nominal Zener (3.13–3.47 V range), same package and power rating; 28 Ω ZZT vs. 24 Ω for SZMMBZ5227BLT1G | Lower clamping threshold; better suited for 3.0 V or 3.3 V rail protection where tighter margin below 3.6 V is required | Choose when system tolerance requires regulation at 3.3 V instead of 3.6 V, with acceptable 4 Ω higher impedance |
Compared with MMBZ5227BLT1G and SZMMBZ5226BLT1G, SZMMBZ5227BLT1G uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, 3.6 V regulation, and lowest ZZT in its voltage tier-making it optimal for automotive and industrial applications demanding both reliability and precision.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SZMMBZ5227BLT1G?
The SZMMBZ5227BLT1G has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±5% around its nominal 3.6 V value, resulting in a guaranteed range of 3.42 V to 3.78 V at 20 mA test current (IZT). This tolerance is specified at TA = 25°C and remains stable across its full −65°C to +150°C junction temperature range, making SZMMBZ5227BLT1G suitable for precision reference applications where tight voltage control is critical.
Is SZMMBZ5227BLT1G suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SZMMBZ5227BLT1G is AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, confirming its suitability for automotive applications including body control modules, infotainment power supplies, and sensor interfaces. The "SZ" prefix denotes automotive-specific site and process controls, and the device meets rigorous stress-test requirements for temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical shock-unlike the commercial-grade MMBZ5227BLT1G variant.
What is the thermal resistance of SZMMBZ5227BLT1G on FR-5 board?
The thermal resistance (RJA) of SZMMBZ5227BLT1G is 556 °C/W when mounted on an FR-5 board, meaning each watt of dissipated power raises the junction temperature by 556°C above ambient. At its rated 225 mW, this results in a ~125°C rise-well within its −65°C to +150°C junction limit when ambient stays below +25°C. Derating is required above 25°C at 1.8 mW/°C.
Does SZMMBZ5227BLT1G have a no-connect pin, and how is it used?
Yes, SZMMBZ5227BLT1G uses Style 8 pinout: Pin 1 = Anode, Pin 2 = No Connection (NC), Pin 3 = Cathode. Pin 2 is internally unconnected and serves only for mechanical alignment and board-level stability during automated assembly. It must not be soldered to any net or grounded, as doing so may compromise thermal performance or cause unintended parasitic paths in the SZMMBZ5227BLT1G layout.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for SZMMBZ5227BLT1G?
The maximum reverse leakage current (IR) for SZMMBZ5227BLT1G is 15 μA at VR = 1 V and TA = 25°C. This low leakage ensures minimal quiescent current draw in battery-powered applications and preserves signal integrity in high-impedance sensing nodes. Leakage increases with temperature and reverse voltage but remains below 100 μA up to 3.0 V at 125°C, as confirmed in the device's typical characteristics curves.
