Product details
Overview
SZMMBZ5252ELT1G from onsemi is a 24 V ±5% Zener diode in SOT-23 package, rated for 225 mW power dissipation at 25°C, with 5.2 mA test current (IZT), 33 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT), and 0.1 μA leakage current at 18 V reverse bias - used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in compact DC power rails.
For engineers reviewing the SZMMBZ5252ELT1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance (556 °C/W on FR-5), ESD robustness (>16 kV HBM), and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive environments.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage regulator with fixed reverse breakdown behavior. Its 24 V nominal Zener voltage exhibits a positive temperature coefficient (~+8.5 mV/°C per typical curve data), and it maintains stable regulation under pulse conditions up to 225 W (8 × 20 µs) without degradation.
The SOT-23 package features a defined pinout (Pin 1: Anode, Pin 2: No Connection, Pin 3: Cathode), polarity band marking, and Pb-free construction compliant with RoHS. It is qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive use and supports automated surface-mount assembly.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 22.8 V (min) to 25.2 V (max) at IZT = 5.2 mA - defines tight 24 V ±5% regulation window for stable reference generation |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 225 mW on FR-5 board at 25°C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling before thermal derating begins |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 33 Ω at IZT = 5.2 mA - determines output voltage variation under load transients; lower value improves regulation fidelity |
| Leakage Current (IR) | 0.1 μA at VR = 18 V - ensures minimal standby current draw in high-impedance bias networks |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV) per Human Body Model - enables robust handling in manual assembly and field-replaceable modules |
| Junction Temp Range | −65°C to +150°C - supports operation in under-hood automotive and industrial ambient environments |
| Thermal Resistance (RJA) | 556 °C/W on FR-5 board - informs PCB copper area requirements for thermal management at full power |
Pinout & Package
SZMMBZ5252ELT1G uses the standard SOT-23 (TO-236) plastic surface-mount package (2.90 × 1.30 × 1.00 mm), with cathode indicated by a polarity band. The package is void-free, thermosetting, UL 94 V-0 rated, and rated for 260°C soldering (10 s).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Anode | DC input terminal for reverse-bias configuration; connects to lower-potential node in shunt regulator topology |
| Pin 2 | No Connection | Internally unconnected; must remain floating - no PCB trace or pad required |
| Pin 3 | Cathode | DC output/reference terminal; connects to regulated voltage rail and provides Zener breakdown path to ground |

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-C24LT1G | 24 V ±5%, 300 mW rating, 70 Ω ZZT, non-AEC-Q101 | Higher power but looser regulation; suited for non-automotive industrial use | Select when higher continuous power (300 mW) is needed and AEC-Q101 is not required |
| SZBZX84C24LT1G | 24 V ±5%, 300 mW, 70 Ω ZZT, AEC-Q101 qualified | Same qualification as SZMMBZ5252ELT1G but higher ZZT and power | Choose when board layout allows larger thermal margin and tighter leakage is less critical than power headroom |
Compared with BZX84-C24LT1G and SZBZX84C24LT1G, SZMMBZ5252ELT1G offers superior regulation fidelity (33 Ω vs. 70 Ω ZZT) and lower leakage (0.1 μA vs. 0.5 μA), making it optimal for precision reference and low-power automotive sensing where voltage stability outweighs raw power capacity.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SZMMBZ5252ELT1G?
The SZMMBZ5252ELT1G has a nominal Zener voltage of 24 V with a guaranteed tolerance of ±5%, corresponding to a minimum of 22.8 V and maximum of 25.2 V at IZT = 5.2 mA and TA = 25°C. This tight tolerance ensures predictable clamping behavior in safety-critical voltage monitoring circuits, and the specification is validated per onsemi's production test flow for every lot of SZMMBZ5252ELT1G.
Is SZMMBZ5252ELT1G suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SZMMBZ5252ELT1G is AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, with full traceability and process controls aligned to automotive quality standards. Its −65°C to +150°C junction temperature range, >16 kV HBM ESD rating, and SOT-23 package reliability make it appropriate for engine control, ADAS sensor biasing, and body electronics where SZMMBZ5252ELT1G replaces legacy through-hole Zeners in high-density layouts.
What is the thermal resistance of SZMMBZ5252ELT1G on a standard PCB?
The thermal resistance from junction-to-ambient (RJA) for SZMMBZ5252ELT1G is 556 °C/W when mounted on an FR-5 board. This value assumes standard JEDEC test conditions (1.0 × 0.75 × 0.62 inch board); actual performance improves with added copper pour or thermal vias. Engineers must apply this RJA to calculate junction temperature rise in their specific layout when using SZMMBZ5252ELT1G at elevated ambient temperatures.
Does SZMMBZ5252ELT1G have a no-connect pin, and how should it be handled?
Yes, SZMMBZ5252ELT1G has Pin 2 designated as "No Connection" per its official pinout (1-Anode, 2-NC, 3-Cathode). This terminal is internally unconnected and must remain electrically floating - no PCB trace, pad, or grounding is permitted. Incorrect routing to ground or signal nets may cause functional failure or parametric deviation in SZMMBZ5252ELT1G operation.
How does the Zener impedance of SZMMBZ5252ELT1G affect its regulation performance?
The dynamic Zener impedance (ZZT) of SZMMBZ5252ELT1G is 33 Ω at IZT = 5.2 mA, directly determining how much the output voltage shifts under changing load current. For example, a 1 mA load variation causes only ~33 mV deviation - enabling high-accuracy references in analog signal chains. This low ZZT is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table of the official onsemi datasheet for SZMMBZ5252ELT1G.
