Product details
Overview
SZMMBZ5235BLT1G from onsemi is a 6.8 V ±5% Zener diode in SOT-23 package, rated for 225 mW power dissipation on FR-5 board, with 5 Ω dynamic impedance at 20 mA test current and 3 μA leakage current at 5 V reverse bias - used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in portable power rails.
For engineers reviewing the SZMMBZ5235BLT1G 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 in space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference diode with cathode-anode polarity, designed for stable reverse-biased regulation. Its 6.8 V nominal Zener voltage exhibits low temperature coefficient near zero crossing, enabling stable performance across −65°C to +150°C junction range.
The SOT-23 package supports automated placement and reflow soldering at 260°C for 10 seconds. Pin 2 is internally unconnected - confirmed by mechanical outline Style 8 and electrical characteristics table - eliminating risk of unintended node coupling in layout.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 6.46–7.14 V @ 20 mA - ensures tight 6.8 V ±5% regulation for 3.3 V/5 V rail clamping and reference generation. |
| Power Dissipation | 225 mW on FR-5 board - defines maximum continuous power handling without derating below 25°C ambient. |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 5 Ω @ IZT = 20 mA - indicates low AC impedance for stable regulation under dynamic load transients. |
| Leakage Current (IR) | 3 μA @ VR = 5 V - confirms minimal standby current draw in battery-powered systems. |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV HBM) - provides robust electrostatic immunity for handheld and automotive interface circuits. |
| Junction Temp Range | −65°C to +150°C - supports operation in under-hood automotive and industrial environments. |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes - validates reliability for automotive electronics per stress-test requirements. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23 (TO-236) package: 2.90 × 1.30 × 1.00 mm body, 1.90 mm lead pitch, void-free thermosetting plastic case with corrosion-resistant finish. Cathode marked by band on terminal 3.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode | Connected to lower-potential node; reverse-biased during regulation; must be routed with low-inductance path to ground or return. |
| 2 | No Connection | Floating terminal - no internal bond wire; must remain unconnected in PCB layout to avoid parasitic coupling. |
| 3 | Cathode | Connected to regulated voltage node; carries full Zener current; requires thermal relief if copper pour used. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C6V8LT1G | Same 6.8 V nominal, but 350 mW rating on FR-4 and higher ZZT (10 Ω); no AEC-Q101 qualification. | Targeted at commercial-grade consumer electronics, not automotive or extended-temp industrial use. | Select when higher power margin is needed and automotive qualification is unnecessary. |
| SZBZX84C6V8LT1G | AEC-Q101 qualified like SZMMBZ5235BLT1G, but uses BZX84 platform with 10 Ω ZZT and 5 μA leakage @ 5 V. | Offers same automotive reliability but with higher dynamic impedance and leakage than SZMMBZ5235BLT1G. | Choose when legacy BZX84 footprint compatibility is required and tighter ZZT is not critical. |
Compared with BZX84-C6V8LT1G and SZBZX84C6V8LT1G, SZMMBZ5235BLT1G delivers lower dynamic impedance (5 Ω vs. ≥10 Ω) and lower leakage (3 μA vs. 5 μA), making it preferable for precision reference and ultra-low-power applications where regulation stability and standby current are critical.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SZMMBZ5235BLT1G?
The SZMMBZ5235BLT1G has a Zener voltage range of 6.46 V to 7.14 V at 20 mA test current, corresponding to a ±5% tolerance around the nominal 6.8 V value. This tolerance is guaranteed across operating temperature and lifetime, and is verified per AEC-Q101 stress testing protocols. The SZMMBZ5235BLT1G maintains this specification without requiring external calibration or trimming.
Is SZMMBZ5235BLT1G pin-compatible with standard MMBZ5235BLT1G?
Yes - SZMMBZ5235BLT1G shares identical SOT-23 pinout (Pin 1: Anode, Pin 2: NC, Pin 3: Cathode), mechanical dimensions, and electrical specifications with MMBZ5235BLT1G. The "SZ" prefix denotes automotive-specific process controls and PPAP documentation, not physical or electrical differences. The SZMMBZ5235BLT1G can be substituted into existing MMBZ5235BLT1G layouts without modification.
What is the maximum power dissipation of SZMMBZ5235BLT1G on an FR-5 board?
SZMMBZ5235BLT1G is rated for 225 mW total power dissipation on FR-5 board at 25°C ambient temperature, with linear derating of 1.8 mW/°C above that point. This rating assumes standard JEDEC-defined board construction (1.0 × 0.75 × 0.62 in). Exceeding this limit risks thermal runaway or accelerated parametric shift. The SZMMBZ5235BLT1G datasheet specifies RJA = 556 °C/W under these conditions.
Does SZMMBZ5235BLT1G require a heatsink in typical applications?
No - SZMMBZ5235BLT1G does not require an external heatsink in standard applications due to its low 225 mW power rating and SOT-23 thermal design. Its 556 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance allows safe operation up to ~85°C ambient when dissipating full rated power. For continuous 20 mA Zener current at 6.8 V, power is only ~136 mW - well within limits without added thermal mass. The SZMMBZ5235BLT1G relies on PCB copper for heat spreading, not discrete heatsinks.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for SZMMBZ5235BLT1G?
SZMMBZ5235BLT1G guarantees a maximum reverse leakage current of 3 μA at 5 V reverse bias (VR) and 25°C ambient temperature. This value is measured per the datasheet's Electrical Characteristics table and remains stable across the full −65°C to +150°C junction temperature range. Low leakage ensures minimal impact on battery drain in always-on IoT and automotive standby circuits using the SZMMBZ5235BLT1G.
