Product details
Overview
SZMMBZ5245BLT3G from onsemi is a 15 V, 225 mW surface-mount 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 8.5 mA test current, exhibits 600 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, and supports operation from −65°C to +150°C. It is used in power supply feedback loops, voltage reference circuits, and ESD-sensitive portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the SZMMBZ5245BLT3G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include nominal Zener voltage (15 V), power rating (225 mW on FR-5 board), thermal resistance (556 °C/W), leakage current (0.1 µA at 11 V), and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference with cathode-anode polarity, where reverse-biased conduction initiates at the specified Zener breakdown voltage. Its 225 mW power dissipation rating is defined on FR-5 PCB material at 25°C ambient, derating linearly at 1.8 mW/°C above that temperature.
The SOT-23 package features three terminals: Pin 1 (Anode), Pin 2 (No Connection), Pin 3 (Cathode), with cathode identified by a polarity band. It achieves Class 3 ESD robustness (>16 kV HBM) and complies with AEC-Q101 for automotive applications, distinguishing it from standard MMBZ5245BLT1G variants.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 14.25–15.75 V at 8.5 mA - defines stable regulation point for feedback or clamping circuits |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 225 mW on FR-5 board @ 25°C - sets maximum continuous power handling without heatsinking |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 600 Ω @ IZT = 8.5 mA - determines output voltage stability under load variation |
| Leakage Current (IR) | 0.1 µA @ VR = 11 V - ensures minimal parasitic current in standby or high-impedance nodes |
| Operating Temperature | −65°C to +150°C - enables use in under-hood automotive or industrial environments |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV HBM) - provides robustness against handling and system-level electrostatic discharge |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes - confirms stress-tested reliability for automotive electronic control units and infotainment systems |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23 (TO-236) package: 2.90 mm × 1.30 mm × 1.00 mm body size, void-free thermosetting plastic case, corrosion-resistant finish, UL 94 V-0 flammability rating, and 260°C max soldering temperature for 10 seconds.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Anode | Connected to lower-potential node in reverse-bias configuration; required for proper Zener conduction path |
| Pin 2 | No Connection | Internally unconnected; must remain floating-no PCB trace or pad should tie to this terminal |
| Pin 3 | Cathode | Marked with polarity band; connects to higher-potential node; carries regulated output or clamp current |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SZMMBZ5245BLT3G?
The SZMMBZ5245BLT3G has a Zener voltage range of 14.25 V to 15.75 V at 8.5 mA test current, corresponding to ±5% tolerance around the nominal 15 V value. This tolerance is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range of −65°C to +150°C and is verified per onsemi's AEC-Q101 stress testing protocol for SZMMBZ5245BLT3G.
Is SZMMBZ5245BLT3G pin-compatible with MMBZ5245BLT1G?
Yes, SZMMBZ5245BLT3G shares identical SOT-23 pinout (Pin 1: Anode, Pin 2: NC, Pin 3: Cathode) and mechanical dimensions with MMBZ5245BLT1G. However, SZMMBZ5245BLT3G includes additional automotive qualification (AEC-Q101) and is supplied in 10,000-unit tape-and-reel format-making it a drop-in replacement only where automotive compliance is required.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for SZMMBZ5245BLT3G?
The maximum reverse leakage current for SZMMBZ5245BLT3G is 0.1 µA at VR = 11 V and TA = 25°C. This low leakage ensures minimal power loss in high-impedance reference or standby circuits, especially critical in battery-powered portable medical and automotive applications using SZMMBZ5245BLT3G.
Does SZMMBZ5245BLT3G require a heatsink in typical applications?
No, SZMMBZ5245BLT3G does not require an external heatsink in standard applications. Its 225 mW power rating on FR-5 board and 556 °C/W thermal resistance allow safe operation up to ~85°C ambient when dissipating full rated power-sufficient for most voltage reference and clamp functions in SZMMBZ5245BLT3G-based designs.
How does the ESD rating of SZMMBZ5245BLT3G benefit system design?
SZMMBZ5245BLT3G features Class 3 Human Body Model ESD rating (>16 kV), enabling direct placement on exposed I/O lines (e.g., USB-C CC pins or sensor inputs) without supplemental TVS diodes. This simplifies layout, reduces component count, and improves reliability in handheld and wearable systems using SZMMBZ5245BLT3G for integrated clamping and regulation.
