Product details
Overview
SZMMBZ5232BLT3G from onsemi is a 5.6 V ±5% Zener diode in SOT-23 package, rated for 225 mW power dissipation on FR-5 board at 25°C, with 11 Ω dynamic impedance at 20 mA test current and 0.25 μA leakage at 3 V reverse bias - used for voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in space-constrained portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the SZMMBZ5232BLT3G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include nominal Zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance (556 °C/W), ESD rating (>16 kV HBM), AEC-Q101 qualification, and Pb-free RoHS compliance for automotive and high-reliability embedded systems.
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 5.6 V nominal Zener voltage exhibits a near-zero temperature coefficient (~0.5 mV/°C) within the −55°C to +150°C junction range.
The SOT-23 package features a no-connection terminal (Pin 2), enabling mechanical stability without electrical function. Thermal performance is specified for both FR-5 (225 mW, 556 °C/W) and alumina substrate (300 mW, 417 °C/W) mounting conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 5.32–5.88 V @ IZT = 20 mA - defines regulated output voltage window under standard test conditions |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 225 mW on FR-5 board @ 25°C - maximum continuous power before thermal derating begins |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 11 Ω @ IZT = 20 mA - indicates regulation stiffness; lower value enables tighter voltage control under load variation |
| Leakage Current (IR) | 0.25 μA @ VR = 3 V - ensures minimal standby current draw in undervoltage clamp or reference circuits |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV) per Human Body Model - supports robust handling and operation in handheld and automotive environments |
| Junction Temp Range | −65°C to +150°C - enables deployment in extended-temperature industrial and automotive under-hood applications |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes - certified for automotive electronic systems requiring stress-tested reliability and PPAP documentation |

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode | Connected to lower-potential node in reverse-bias regulation; carries forward current during fault or startup |
| 2 | No Connection | Mechanical support only; must remain unconnected in PCB layout to avoid parasitic coupling or shorting |
| 3 | Cathode | Connected to regulated output node; serves as reference voltage source point in shunt regulator topology |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

FAQ
What is the nominal Zener voltage and tolerance of SZMMBZ5232BLT3G?
The SZMMBZ5232BLT3G has a nominal Zener voltage of 5.6 V with a tolerance of ±5%, corresponding to a guaranteed range of 5.32 V to 5.88 V at 20 mA test current (IZT). This specification is validated per onsemi's Electrical Characteristics table and applies across the full operating temperature range of −65°C to +150°C junction temperature.
Is SZMMBZ5232BLT3G suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SZMMBZ5232BLT3G is AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, making it suitable for automotive applications including body control modules, infotainment power rails, and sensor supply regulation. The "SZ" prefix explicitly denotes compliance with automotive-specific site and process controls, unlike the standard "MMBZ" variants.
What is the thermal resistance and power derating behavior of SZMMBZ5232BLT3G?
SZMMBZ5232BLT3G has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RJA) of 556 °C/W on FR-5 board. Its 225 mW power rating derates linearly at 1.8 mW/°C above 25°C ambient, reaching zero dissipation at approximately 153°C ambient - consistent with its −65°C to +150°C junction temperature range.
Does SZMMBZ5232BLT3G have a no-connect pin, and how should it be handled in PCB layout?
Yes, Pin 2 of SZMMBZ5232BLT3G is a no-connect terminal per onsemi's marking diagram and mechanical outline. It must remain unconnected on the PCB - neither tied to ground nor routed - to prevent unintended parasitic paths or solder bridging that could compromise regulation stability or ESD performance.
How does the ESD rating of SZMMBZ5232BLT3G compare to standard commercial Zeners?
SZMMBZ5232BLT3G achieves Class 3 ESD rating (>16 kV) per Human Body Model, exceeding typical commercial Zeners (often Class 2, ≤8 kV). This higher rating is achieved through process-level hardening and enables direct integration into ESD-prone interfaces like USB ports and automotive sensor harnesses without additional protection components.
