Product details
Overview
SZMMBZ5240ELT1G from onsemi is a 10 V, 225 mW surface-mount Zener diode in SOT-23 package, designed for precision voltage regulation and transient suppression in space-constrained circuits. It delivers 10.0 V nominal Zener voltage at 20 mA test current, with ±5% tolerance (9.5–10.5 V), 17 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, and 3 µA leakage at 8 V reverse bias - enabling stable reference generation in portable power rails and low-voltage logic interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SZMMBZ5240ELT1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, 16 kV HBM ESD rating, 225 W peak pulse capability, and automotive-grade traceability - critical for battery management, sensor signal conditioning, and USB-C port protection designs.
Technical Context
This Zener regulator operates in reverse breakdown mode with a specified 10 V nominal voltage at 20 mA DC test current (IZT). Its temperature coefficient is +5.5 mV/°C near 10 V, ensuring predictable drift over −65°C to +150°C junction range. The device features a no-connect (NC) terminal (Pin 2), isolating internal structure from external circuitry.
Thermal performance is defined for FR-5 board (RJA = 556°C/W) and alumina substrate (RJA = 417°C/W), supporting design-in across consumer and automotive PCBs. Peak power handling (225 W, 8 × 20 µs pulse) enables robust transient voltage suppression without derating under short-duration surges.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 10.0 V nominal (9.5–10.5 V min/max) at 20 mA - sets precise clamping level for 3.3 V/5 V rail monitoring and reference buffering. |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 225 mW on FR-5 board - supports continuous regulation in handheld devices without forced cooling. |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 17 Ω at IZT = 20 mA - ensures low output impedance for stable voltage reference under load variation. |
| Leakage Current (IR) | 3 µA max at VR = 8 V - minimizes standby power loss in battery-powered systems. |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV HBM) - provides intrinsic ESD hardening for direct interface with exposed connectors or sensors. |
| Package | SOT-23 (TO-236), 2.90 × 1.30 × 1.00 mm - enables high-density placement on compact PCBs with automated assembly compatibility. |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Automotive-grade reliability validation - required for under-hood and ADAS subsystems where long-term parametric stability is mandatory. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23 plastic surface-mount package (Case 318, Style 8), void-free thermosetting epoxy, UL 94 V-0 rated, with cathode polarity band marking. Maximum soldering temperature: 260°C for 10 seconds.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode | Connected to lower-potential node; reverse-biased during regulation - must be tied to ground or common return in shunt configuration. |
| 2 | No Connection (NC) | Internally unconnected - electrically isolated; no PCB trace or pad required beyond mechanical support. |
| 3 | Cathode | Connected to regulated voltage node; carries full Zener current - requires adequate copper pour for thermal dissipation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive applications including engine control modules and infotainment power supplies - meets stress testing and lifetime reliability requirements. |
| 16 kV HBM ESD rating | Eliminates need for external ESD protection diodes in USB, I²C, and analog sensor interfaces - reduces BOM count and board area. |
| 225 W peak pulse capability | Withstands 8 × 20 µs transients per IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3 - suitable for CAN bus termination and industrial I/O protection. |
| Pb-free (RoHS-compliant) | Meets global environmental compliance mandates without sacrificing thermal or electrical performance - compatible with lead-free reflow profiles. |
| Low leakage (3 µA @ 8 V) | Enables use in always-on battery backup circuits and real-time clock supervisors where quiescent current must remain sub-µA. |
Applications
| Automotive Body Control Module | USB-C Port Protection |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C10LT1G | 10 V nominal, 350 mW rating, 20 Ω ZZT, no AEC-Q101 qualification | Higher power but lacks automotive qualification and 16 kV ESD rating | Select when higher continuous power (350 mW) is needed and automotive compliance is not required. |
| SZBZX84C10LT1G | 10 V nominal, 350 mW, AEC-Q101 qualified, 20 Ω ZZT, 15 kV HBM ESD | Same automotive grade but larger ZZT and lower ESD rating than SZMMBZ5240ELT1G | Choose when board layout allows larger thermal margin and 15 kV ESD suffices for target environment. |
Compared with BZX84-C10LT1G and SZBZX84C10LT1G, SZMMBZ5240ELT1G offers tighter ZZT (17 Ω vs. 20 Ω), superior ESD robustness (16 kV vs. 15 kV), and optimized 225 mW thermal profile for ultra-compact layouts - making it preferred for space- and reliability-critical automotive and portable designs.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SZMMBZ5240ELT1G?
The SZMMBZ5240ELT1G has a nominal Zener voltage of 10.0 V with a tolerance of ±5%, resulting in a guaranteed range of 9.5 V to 10.5 V at 20 mA test current (IZT). This tolerance is verified per onsemi's Electrical Characteristics table and applies across the full operating temperature range of −65°C to +150°C junction temperature.
Is SZMMBZ5240ELT1G suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SZMMBZ5240ELT1G is AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, with manufacturing site and control change tracking enabled by the "SZ" prefix. It meets automotive reliability standards for temperature cycling, humidity testing, and long-term parametric stability - making it appropriate for body control modules, infotainment power supplies, and ADAS sensor interfaces.
What is the maximum peak pulse power rating for SZMMBZ5240ELT1G?
SZMMBZ5240ELT1G is rated for 225 W peak pulse power under an 8 × 20 µs waveform per Figure 9 in the datasheet. This rating reflects non-repetitive surge capability and is validated for transient suppression in applications such as CAN bus protection and USB-C hot-plug events without permanent degradation.
Does SZMMBZ5240ELT1G have a no-connect pin, and how should it be handled on the PCB?
Yes, Pin 2 of SZMMBZ5240ELT1G is a no-connect (NC) terminal per the datasheet's pinout specification (Style 8). It must remain unconnected on the PCB - no trace, pad, or via should be routed to this pin. The NC pin serves only mechanical anchoring and does not participate in electrical operation.
How does the ESD rating of SZMMBZ5240ELT1G compare to standard Zener diodes?
SZMMBZ5240ELT1G achieves Class 3 Human Body Model (HBM) ESD rating (>16 kV), significantly exceeding typical Zener diodes rated at 8–12 kV. This enhanced robustness eliminates the need for additional ESD protection components in sensitive interfaces like I²C buses, analog sensor inputs, and USB data lines - reducing system cost and complexity.
