Product details
Overview
SZMMBZ5241BLT1G from onsemi is a 11 V, 225 mW Zener diode in SOT-23 package, designed for precision voltage regulation in space-constrained circuits. It delivers 11.0 V nominal Zener voltage at 20 mA test current, with ±5% tolerance (10.4–11.55 V), 22 Ω dynamic impedance, and 2 μA leakage at 8.4 V reverse bias. It is used in overvoltage protection and reference supply circuits for portable power management.
For engineers reviewing the SZMMBZ5241BLT1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, low dynamic impedance for stable regulation, AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use, and SOT-23 footprint compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal shunt regulator, maintaining stable output voltage by conducting reverse current above its specified Zener breakdown threshold. Its 225 mW power rating on FR-5 board and thermal resistance of 556 °C/W define safe operating limits under ambient conditions up to +150°C junction temperature.
The SZ prefix confirms automotive-grade qualification per AEC-Q101, including enhanced process control, PPAP capability, and ESD robustness (>16 kV HBM). Pin configuration is fixed: Anode (Pin 1), No Connection (Pin 2), Cathode (Pin 3), enabling unambiguous polarity identification via cathode band marking.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C11LT1G | Same 11 V nominal, but 350 mW rating and 40 Ω ZZT; no AEC-Q101 qualification | Higher power margin but less precise regulation; suitable for non-automotive consumer boards | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive compliance and regulation tightness |
| SZBZX84C11LT3G | AEC-Q101 qualified, same 11 V nominal, but 350 mW rating and 40 Ω ZZT; 10,000/reel packaging | Higher power and volume packaging, but looser impedance spec reduces reference accuracy | Prefer for high-volume automotive modules where layout space allows larger dissipation margin |
Compared with BZX84-C11LT1G and SZBZX84C11LT3G, SZMMBZ5241BLT1G offers tighter Zener impedance (22 Ω vs. 40 Ω) and lower leakage (2 μA vs. 5 μA), enabling higher-precision references in space-constrained automotive and medical designs-despite its lower 225 mW rating.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SZMMBZ5241BLT1G?
The SZMMBZ5241BLT1G has a nominal Zener voltage of 11.0 V with a tolerance range of 10.4 V to 11.55 V (±5%) at IZT = 20 mA and TA = 25°C. This tolerance reflects both initial calibration and temperature-induced drift across −65°C to +150°C junction range, as verified in the official onsemi datasheet Rev. 16 (July 2024).
Is SZMMBZ5241BLT1G pin-compatible with standard SOT-23 Zener diodes?
Yes, SZMMBZ5241BLT1G uses the standard SOT-23 (TO-236) outline with Pin 1 = Anode, Pin 2 = No Connection, Pin 3 = Cathode. Its mechanical dimensions (2.90 × 1.30 × 1.00 mm) and lead pitch (1.90 mm) match JEDEC MO-236, ensuring drop-in replacement in existing SOT-23 footprints-provided Pin 2 remains unconnected in layout.
Does SZMMBZ5241BLT1G meet automotive reliability standards?
Yes, the "SZ" prefix explicitly denotes AEC-Q101 qualification, PPAP capability, and automotive-specific process controls. The SZMMBZ5241BLT1G undergoes stress testing per AEC-Q101-004 (ESD), AEC-Q101-005 (latch-up), and AEC-Q101-009 (temperature cycling), making it suitable for under-hood and body-control applications.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for SZMMBZ5241BLT1G?
The maximum reverse leakage current for SZMMBZ5241BLT1G is 2 μA at VR = 8.4 V and TA = 25°C, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the onsemi datasheet. This value remains stable across −55°C to +125°C ambient, supporting ultra-low-power standby modes.
Can SZMMBZ5241BLT1G be used in high-density PCB assemblies?
Yes, SZMMBZ5241BLT1G is optimized for high-density assembly: its SOT-23 package (2.90 × 1.30 mm) supports fine-pitch pick-and-place, the "Pb-Free" marking confirms compatibility with lead-free reflow profiles (260°C/10 s), and its ESD rating (>16 kV HBM) eliminates need for post-assembly handling safeguards.
