Product details
Overview
SZMMBZ5230BLT1G from onsemi is a 4.7 V ±5% Zener diode in SOT-23 package, rated for 225 mW power dissipation on FR-5 board, with 19 Ω dynamic impedance at 20 mA test current and 5 μA reverse leakage at 2 V. It provides precision voltage regulation in space-constrained portable electronics such as smartphone power rails and USB interface protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SZMMBZ5230BLT1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±5%), thermal resistance (556 °C/W), ESD rating (>16 kV HBM), and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference using avalanche breakdown in silicon PN junction. Its nominal 4.7 V Zener voltage is specified at 20 mA test current (IZT) with temperature coefficient near zero - typical for mid-voltage Zeners in this series - enabling stable regulation across −65°C to +150°C junction range.
The SOT-23 package features pin 1 (anode), pin 2 (no connection), and pin 3 (cathode), with polarity indicated by cathode band. It supports automated placement and reflow soldering up to 260°C for 10 seconds, meeting UL 94 V-0 flammability standard and RoHS compliance with Pb-free, halogen-free/BFR-free construction.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 4.7 V nominal, 4.46–4.94 V min/max at IZT = 20 mA - defines regulated output voltage under normal bias |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 225 mW on FR-5 board at 25°C - sets maximum continuous power before thermal derating begins |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 19 Ω max at IZT = 20 mA - determines output voltage stability under load transients |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 5 μA max at VR = 2 V - ensures low standby current in undervoltage clamp configurations |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV) per Human Body Model - protects against electrostatic discharge during handling and assembly |
| Junction Temp Range | −65°C to +150°C - enables operation in automotive under-hood and industrial control environments |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23 (TO-236) surface-mount package, 2.90 × 1.30 × 1.00 mm, void-free thermosetting plastic case with corrosion-resistant finish. Cathode identified by polarity band.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode | Connected to lower-potential node in reverse-bias configuration; must be held ≤ VZ below cathode to maintain regulation |
| 2 | No Connection | Internally unconnected; no PCB trace or pad required - avoids unintended parasitic coupling |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C4V7LT1G | Same 4.7 V nominal, but 350 mW rating on FR-4 and 60 Ω ZZT - higher power, lower regulation precision | Preferred where higher surge energy absorption is needed, e.g., industrial fieldbus interfaces | Select when thermal margin >225 mW is required and ±10% VZ tolerance is acceptable |
| SZBZX84C4V7LT1G | AEC-Q101 qualified like SZMMBZ5230BLT1G, but 60 Ω ZZT and 10 μA IR at 2 V - looser regulation and higher leakage | Suitable for non-critical biasing in automotive body control modules where cost sensitivity outweighs precision needs | Choose for cost-optimized automotive designs where 4.7 V reference stability is secondary to qualification status |
Compared with BZX84-C4V7LT1G and SZBZX84C4V7LT1G, SZMMBZ5230BLT1G delivers tighter voltage tolerance (±5% vs ±10%), lower dynamic impedance (19 Ω vs 60 Ω), and lower leakage (5 μA vs 10 μA), making it optimal for precision analog sensing and low-power portable regulation where board space and thermal constraints are critical.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SZMMBZ5230BLT1G?
The SZMMBZ5230BLT1G has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±5% around its nominal 4.7 V rating, meaning the actual measured VZ falls between 4.46 V and 4.94 V when tested at IZT = 20 mA and TA = 25°C. This tight tolerance ensures predictable clamping behavior in precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection circuits where consistent trip points are essential. The SZMMBZ5230BLT1G achieves this via process-controlled doping and post-trim testing.
Is SZMMBZ5230BLT1G suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SZMMBZ5230BLT1G is AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, with manufacturing site and change controls specific to automotive requirements (indicated by the "SZ" prefix). It operates reliably across −65°C to +150°C junction temperature and meets >16 kV HBM ESD immunity - making it appropriate for engine control units, infotainment systems, and ADAS power rail protection. The SZMMBZ5230BLT1G also complies with RoHS and halogen-free standards required for modern vehicle platforms.
What is the thermal resistance of SZMMBZ5230BLT1G on FR-5 board?
The thermal resistance from junction-to-ambient (RJA) for SZMMBZ5230BLT1G is 556 °C/W when mounted on an FR-5 board. This value reflects heat dissipation capability under standard JEDEC test conditions (1.0 × 0.75 × 0.62 inch board), and directly determines how much temperature rise occurs per milliwatt of power dissipated. At its 225 mW rating, this results in a ~125°C junction-to-ambient rise - confirming why derating is required above 25°C ambient. The SZMMBZ5230BLT1G datasheet specifies 1.8 mW/°C linear derating above that point.
Does SZMMBZ5230BLT1G have a no-connect pin, and how should it be handled on PCB?
Yes, SZMMBZ5230BLT1G has pin 2 designated as "No Connection" - it is internally unconnected and electrically isolated. On PCB layout, no copper trace or pad is required for pin 2; leaving it unconnected avoids parasitic capacitance or unintended coupling paths. The device uses pin 1 (anode) and pin 3 (cathode) exclusively for operation. This NC pin configuration is confirmed in the mechanical outline (Style 8) and electrical characteristics table of the official onsemi datasheet for SZMMBZ5230BLT1G.
How does the ESD rating of SZMMBZ5230BLT1G compare to standard Zener diodes?
SZMMBZ5230BLT1G is rated Class 3 (>16 kV) per Human Body Model (HBM), significantly exceeding the typical 2–4 kV rating of generic Zener diodes. This high ESD immunity is achieved through specialized junction design and passivation, allowing direct integration into ESD-prone interfaces like USB ports and display connectors without supplemental TVS devices. The SZMMBZ5230BLT1G's robustness reduces BOM count and improves system-level ESD test pass rates in portable and automotive electronics.
