Product details
Overview
SZMMBZ5228BLT1G from onsemi is a 3.9 V ±5% Zener diode in SOT-23 package, rated for 225 mW power dissipation on FR-5 board, with 23 Ω dynamic impedance at 20 mA test current and 10 μA reverse leakage at 1 V reverse bias. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in low-power portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the SZMMBZ5228BLT1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance (556 °C/W), ESD rating (>16 kV HBM), AEC-Q101 qualification, and SOT-23 footprint compatibility for high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse-biased Zener breakdown mode to maintain stable voltage regulation across varying load currents. Its 3.9 V nominal Zener voltage exhibits low temperature coefficient near zero crossing, enabling stable reference performance over −65°C to +150°C junction temperature range.
The SOT-23 package features a defined pinout (Pin 1: Anode, Pin 2: No Connection, Pin 3: Cathode) and supports automated placement. With 225 mW power rating on FR-5 board and 300 mW on alumina substrate, it balances thermal performance and miniaturization for space-constrained designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 3.70 V min / 3.90 V nom / 4.10 V max @ IZT = 20 mA - defines regulated output voltage window under standard test conditions |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 225 mW on FR-5 board @ TA = 25°C - sets maximum continuous power handling without derating |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 23 Ω max @ IZT = 20 mA - determines voltage regulation stiffness under dynamic load changes |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 10 μA max @ VR = 1 V - specifies off-state current that impacts standby power in clamping applications |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV) per Human Body Model - ensures robustness against electrostatic discharge during handling and assembly |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5228BLT1G | Same Zener voltage (3.9 V), identical SOT-23 pinout, but not AEC-Q101 qualified; 225 mW rating unchanged | Targeted at commercial-grade portable electronics, not automotive or mission-critical industrial use | Select when AEC-Q101 compliance is unnecessary and cost sensitivity outweighs automotive qualification needs |
| SZMMBZ5229BLT1G | Higher nominal Zener voltage (4.3 V), same package and AEC-Q101 qualification; otherwise identical electrical specs | Used where system requires tighter margin above 3.3 V rail or different clamping threshold | Choose when circuit design mandates 4.3 V regulation instead of 3.9 V - no layout change needed due to identical footprint |
Compared with MMBZ5228BLT1G, SZMMBZ5228BLT1G adds automotive qualification without sacrificing power or impedance performance; compared with SZMMBZ5229BLT1G, it provides a lower, more common 3.9 V reference point while retaining full AEC-Q101 validation and thermal capability.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SZMMBZ5228BLT1G?
The SZMMBZ5228BLT1G has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±5% around its nominal 3.9 V value, meaning the actual measured VZ falls between 3.70 V and 4.10 V when tested at IZT = 20 mA and TA = 25°C. This tolerance is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the official onsemi datasheet for SZMMBZ5228BLT1G.
Is SZMMBZ5228BLT1G pin-compatible with MMBZ5228BLT1G?
Yes, SZMMBZ5228BLT1G shares identical pinout (Pin 1: Anode, Pin 2: NC, Pin 3: Cathode) and SOT-23 mechanical dimensions with MMBZ5228BLT1G. Both devices use Style 8 marking diagram and require no PCB layout changes when substituting one for the other, though only SZMMBZ5228BLT1G carries AEC-Q101 qualification.
What is the maximum power dissipation of SZMMBZ5228BLT1G on an FR-5 board?
The maximum power dissipation of SZMMBZ5228BLT1G on an FR-5 board is 225 mW at ambient temperature (TA) of 25°C, derating linearly by 1.8 mW/°C above that temperature. This rating is specified in the Maximum Ratings table on page 1 of the onsemi datasheet for SZMMBZ5228BLT1G.
Does SZMMBZ5228BLT1G have automotive qualification?
Yes, SZMMBZ5228BLT1G is AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, as explicitly stated in the Features section of the onsemi datasheet. The "SZ" prefix denotes compliance with automotive-specific site and process controls, distinguishing it from the commercial-grade MMBZ5228BLT1G variant.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for SZMMBZ5228BLT1G?
The reverse leakage current (IR) for SZMMBZ5228BLT1G is specified as 10 μA maximum at VR = 1 V and TA = 25°C. This parameter is listed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the official onsemi datasheet for SZMMBZ5228BLT1G and directly impacts standby power consumption in clamping applications.
