Product details
Overview
SZMMBZ5235BLT3G from onsemi is a 6.8 V ±5% Zener diode in SOT-23 package, rated for 225 mW power dissipation on FR-5 board at 25°C, 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 SZMMBZ5235BLT3G 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 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 controlled current conditions. Its 6.8 V nominal Zener voltage exhibits low temperature coefficient near zero crossing, and it maintains specified performance across −65°C to +150°C junction temperature range.
The SOT-23 package supports automated placement and reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020, with 260°C max soldering temperature for 10 seconds. Pin 2 is internally unconnected - confirmed by mechanical outline Style 8 and electrical characterization tables.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 6.46–7.14 V at 20 mA - defines tight 6.8 V ±5% regulation window for stable reference generation |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 225 mW on FR-5 board at 25°C - sets maximum continuous power handling before thermal derating begins |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 5 Ω at IZT = 20 mA - ensures minimal output voltage variation under load transients |
| Leakage Current (IR) | 3 μA at VR = 5 V - guarantees low standby current in battery-powered circuits |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV) per Human Body Model - enables robust handling in manufacturing and end-use environments |
| Junction Temp Range | −65°C to +150°C - supports operation in automotive under-hood and industrial ambient conditions |
Pinout & Package
SZMMBZ5235BLT3G uses the industry-standard SOT-23 (TO-236) plastic surface-mount package, measuring 2.90 × 1.30 × 1.00 mm, with void-free thermosetting epoxy case and corrosion-resistant finish. Polarity is marked by cathode band on terminal 3.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode | Forward current entry / reverse-bias reference return path; connects to lower-potential rail |
| 2 | No Connection | Internally isolated; no electrical function - must remain unconnected on PCB |
| 3 | Cathode | Zener regulation output node; connects to higher-potential rail or regulated voltage point |

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SZMMBZ5235BLT3G?
The SZMMBZ5235BLT3G has a Zener voltage range of 6.46 V to 7.14 V at 20 mA test current, corresponding to a nominal 6.8 V ±5% tolerance. This specification is verified per onsemi's Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the July 2024 datasheet revision, and applies under standard test conditions of TA = 25°C with pulse testing to minimize self-heating effects on SZMMBZ5235BLT3G performance.
Is SZMMBZ5235BLT3G pin-compatible with MMBZ5235BLT1G?
Yes, SZMMBZ5235BLT3G shares identical pinout (Anode–NC–Cathode) and SOT-23 package dimensions with MMBZ5235BLT1G, as confirmed by Style 8 mechanical outline in the onsemi package drawing. However, SZMMBZ5235BLT3G adds AEC-Q101 qualification and automotive-specific process controls - meaning PCB layout remains unchanged, but reliability assurance is elevated for automotive use cases involving SZMMBZ5235BLT3G.
What is the maximum power dissipation of SZMMBZ5235BLT3G on FR-5 board?
SZMMBZ5235BLT3G 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 temperature. This value is defined in the Maximum Ratings table on page 1 of the official onsemi datasheet and reflects thermal performance under standardized JEDEC test board conditions - critical for thermal design margining in compact SZMMBZ5235BLT3G implementations.
Does SZMMBZ5235BLT3G have an ESD rating, and if so, what is it?
SZMMBZ5235BLT3G carries an ESD rating of Class 3 (>16 kV) per the Human Body Model (HBM), as stated in the Features section of the onsemi datasheet. This high-level ESD robustness is built into the device structure and validated during qualification - eliminating the need for additional external ESD protection in many portable and automotive interface designs using SZMMBZ5235BLT3G.
What does the "SZ" prefix indicate in SZMMBZ5235BLT3G?
The "SZ" prefix in SZMMBZ5235BLT3G denotes onsemi's automotive-grade variant, signifying unique site and process controls, AEC-Q101 qualification, PPAP capability, and enhanced traceability for automotive supply chains. It is not merely a marking distinction - the SZMMBZ5235BLT3G undergoes additional stress testing and lot-level documentation beyond commercial MMBZ5235BLT1G, ensuring consistent performance in demanding vehicle environments where SZMMBZ5235BLT3G is deployed.
