Product details
Overview
SZMMBZ5240BLT1 from onsemi is a 10 V, 225 mW Zener diode in SOT-23 package, designed for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in space-constrained circuits. It delivers ±5% Zener voltage tolerance at 20 mA test current, exhibits 17 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, and supports ≤3 μA reverse leakage at 8 V, making it suitable for battery-powered portable electronics and voltage reference circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SZMMBZ5240BLT1 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, low dynamic impedance at nominal test current, thermal resistance on FR-5 board (556 °C/W), ESD robustness (>16 kV HBM), and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference with cathode-anode polarity, where regulation occurs under reverse bias above the specified Zener breakdown voltage. Its 10 V nominal Zener voltage (9.5–10.5 V range) is stabilized by silicon junction design optimized for low temperature coefficient and minimal voltage drift across −65 °C to +150 °C operating range.
The SOT-23 package features a no-connect (NC) terminal (Pin 2), enabling mechanical stability without electrical function-distinct from dual-diode or dual-Zener configurations. Thermal performance is defined for FR-5 board mounting (225 mW @ 25 °C, derated 1.8 mW/°C), with junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 556 °C/W confirming suitability for low-power, thermally isolated applications.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C10LT1G | 10 V ±5%, 350 mW rating, 20 Ω ZZT @ 5 mA, no AEC-Q101 qualification | Lacks automotive qualification; higher ZZT reduces regulation precision at low currents | Preferred for cost-sensitive consumer electronics where AEC-Q101 is not required |
| MMSZ5240ET1G | 10 V ±5%, 500 mW rating, 15 Ω ZZT @ 20 mA, same SOT-23 package, AEC-Q101 qualified | Higher power rating allows greater surge handling but requires thermal derating verification in dense layouts | Selected when higher transient energy absorption or improved low-current regulation is needed |
Compared with SZMMBZ5240BLT1, BZX84-C10LT1G offers lower cost but lacks automotive qualification and has higher impedance at typical operating currents, while MMSZ5240ET1G provides superior power handling and marginally lower impedance but demands careful thermal layout validation due to its 500 mW rating.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SZMMBZ5240BLT1?
The SZMMBZ5240BLT1 has a Zener voltage range of 9.5 V to 10.5 V at 20 mA test current, corresponding to ±5% tolerance around the nominal 10 V rating. This tolerance is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range and is verified per onsemi's production testing protocol, ensuring consistent performance in voltage reference and clamping applications.
Is SZMMBZ5240BLT1 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SZMMBZ5240BLT1 is AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, with the "SZ" prefix indicating compliance for automotive and other applications requiring unique site and control change requirements. Its −65 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range and >16 kV HBM ESD rating make it appropriate for under-hood and cabin control modules.
What is the function of Pin 2 on SZMMBZ5240BLT1?
Pin 2 of SZMMBZ5240BLT1 is a no-connect (NC) terminal-electrically isolated and intended solely for mechanical stability in the SOT-23 package. It must not be soldered to any net on the PCB, as connection could introduce parasitic paths or compromise device reliability. The active terminals are Pin 1 (Anode) and Pin 3 (Cathode).
How does the thermal resistance of SZMMBZ5240BLT1 affect its use in FR-5 PCBs?
SZMMBZ5240BLT1 has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 556 °C/W on FR-5 board. At its rated 225 mW dissipation, this results in ~125 °C junction rise above ambient-requiring ambient temperature limits below 25 °C for safe operation at full power. Designers must apply derating (1.8 mW/°C above 25 °C) to maintain reliability in enclosed or high-temperature environments.
Does SZMMBZ5240BLT1 have Pb-free packaging?
Yes, SZMMBZ5240BLT1 is supplied in a Pb-free package compliant with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. The "SZ" prefix and absence of non-RoHS indicators confirm lead-free terminations and mold compound, validated for compatibility with standard SnAgCu reflow profiles up to 260 °C for 10 seconds.
