Product details
Overview
SZMMBZ5252BLT1G from onsemi is a 24 V ±5% Zener diode in SOT-23 package, rated for 225 mW power dissipation on FR-5 board, with 5.2 mA test current, 33 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, and 0.1 μA leakage at 18 V reverse bias - used for precision voltage clamping and reference in portable power rails.
For engineers reviewing the SZMMBZ5252BLT1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified electrical specs, thermal derating behavior, cathode-anode polarity mapping, automotive-grade AEC-Q101 qualification status, and direct alternatives for voltage regulation in space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal silicon Zener diode optimized for stable reverse-bias breakdown at nominal 24 V. Its 33 Ω Zener impedance at 5.2 mA ensures low output variation under load transients, while its −65 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range supports operation in automotive under-hood environments.
The SOT-23 package features a defined pinout (Pin 1: Anode, Pin 2: No Connection, Pin 3: Cathode), polarity band marking, and UL 94 V-0 flammability rating. Thermal resistance is 556 °C/W on FR-5 board, enabling predictable derating to 1.8 mW/°C above 25 °C ambient.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 22.8 V min / 24 V nom / 25.2 V max @ IZT = 5.2 mA - defines tight 5% tolerance band for accurate voltage clamping |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 225 mW @ TA = 25 °C on FR-5 board - sets maximum continuous DC power handling before thermal derating applies |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 33 Ω @ IZT = 5.2 mA - determines output voltage stability under varying load current |
| Leakage Current (IR) | 0.1 μA @ VR = 18 V - confirms minimal standby current in pre-breakdown region |
| Thermal Resistance (RJA) | 556 °C/W on FR-5 board - enables calculation of junction temperature rise under real PCB layout conditions |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV HBM) - ensures robustness against electrostatic discharge during automated assembly and end-use |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes - validates suitability for automotive electronics requiring stress-tested reliability and PPAP compliance |

| High-density packaging | SOT-23 footprint enables placement on high-layer-count PCBs where board area is constrained, e.g., smartphone PMIC rails |
| ESD-hardened design | Class 3 HBM rating (>16 kV) eliminates need for external ESD protection in many consumer and industrial interfaces |
| Stable temperature coefficient | Typical TC near zero for 24 V grade - minimizes drift over −55 °C to +150 °C operating range |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5252BLT1G | Same Zener voltage (24 V), identical SOT-23 pinout and electrical specs, but not AEC-Q101 qualified | Targeted for commercial/industrial use only; lacks automotive change control and PPAP documentation | Select when automotive qualification is unnecessary and cost sensitivity favors standard-grade part |
| SZMMBZ5251BLT1G | 22 V nominal Zener voltage (20.9–23.1 V range), otherwise identical package, derating, and qualification | Used where 22 V clamping threshold better matches system overvoltage trip points or legacy design constraints | Choose when 22 V regulation aligns with existing reference architecture or tighter headroom is needed vs. 24 V rail |
Compared with MMBZ5252BLT1G, SZMMBZ5252BLT1G adds AEC-Q101 compliance and site-specific control for automotive programs, while SZMMBZ5251BLT1G offers a lower-voltage alternative within the same qualified family - enabling tiered selection based on voltage target and qualification scope.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SZMMBZ5252BLT1G?
The SZMMBZ5252BLT1G has a Zener voltage range of 22.8 V (minimum) to 25.2 V (maximum) at IZT = 5.2 mA, corresponding to a ±5% tolerance around the nominal 24 V rating. This tolerance is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range and is validated per onsemi's AEC-Q101 stress testing protocol for the SZMMBZ5252BLT1G series.
Is SZMMBZ5252BLT1G pin-compatible with MMBZ5252BLT1G?
Yes, SZMMBZ5252BLT1G shares identical SOT-23 pinout (Pin 1: Anode, Pin 2: NC, Pin 3: Cathode), mechanical dimensions, and soldering profile with MMBZ5252BLT1G. The only functional distinction is the SZ prefix denoting AEC-Q101 qualification, unique site control, and PPAP capability - making it a drop-in replacement where automotive compliance is required.
What is the maximum power dissipation of SZMMBZ5252BLT1G on a standard PCB?
SZMMBZ5252BLT1G is rated for 225 mW total power dissipation on FR-5 board at TA = 25 °C, with linear derating of 1.8 mW/°C above that ambient temperature. On alumina substrate, it supports up to 300 mW at 25 °C. These values are measured under defined board conditions and must be adjusted for actual copper area, layer count, and airflow in the final design.
Does SZMMBZ5252BLT1G require external heat sinking?
No, SZMMBZ5252BLT1G does not require external heat sinking under typical operating conditions. Its 556 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on FR-5 board means that at 225 mW dissipation and 25 °C ambient, junction temperature reaches ~147 °C - within the −65 °C to +150 °C rating. Adequate PCB copper pour is sufficient for thermal management in most applications.
How is the cathode identified on SZMMBZ5252BLT1G?
The cathode of SZMMBZ5252BLT1G is marked by a distinct polarity band located adjacent to Pin 3 on the SOT-23 package. Per onsemi's mechanical drawings, Pin 1 is Anode, Pin 2 is No Connection, and Pin 3 is Cathode - confirmed in both the datasheet marking diagram and Case 318 Style 8 pinout definition.
