Product details
Overview
SZMMBZ5254BLT1G from onsemi is a 27 V ±5% Zener diode in SOT-23 package, rated for 225 mW power dissipation on FR-5 board, with 4.6 mA test current, 41 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, and 0.1 μA leakage at 21 V reverse bias-used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in portable power rails.
For engineers reviewing the SZMMBZ5254BLT1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±5%), thermal resistance (556 °C/W), AEC-Q101 qualification, ESD rating (>16 kV HBM), and SOT-23 footprint compatibility in space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference diode with cathode-anode polarity, designed for stable reverse-bias regulation under DC or low-frequency transient conditions. Its 27 V nominal Zener voltage exhibits a positive temperature coefficient near zero crossing, minimizing drift across −65°C to +150°C operating range.
The SOT-23 package features a no-connect (NC) terminal (Pin 2), enabling mechanical stability without electrical function-critical for automated placement yield. Thermal performance is specified for both FR-5 PCB (225 mW) and alumina substrate (300 mW), supporting design flexibility in thermal management strategies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 25.65 V min / 27 V nom / 28.35 V max @ IZT = 4.6 mA - defines regulated output voltage window under standard test conditions |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 225 mW on FR-5 board @ 25°C - sets maximum continuous power handling before thermal derating begins |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 41 Ω @ IZT = 4.6 mA - determines AC regulation accuracy and ripple rejection capability |
| Leakage Current (IR) | 0.1 μA @ VR = 21 V - ensures minimal standby current draw in undervoltage detection circuits |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV) per Human Body Model - guarantees robustness against handling and board-level ESD events |
| Operating Temperature | −65°C to +150°C - supports automotive under-hood and industrial high-temperature environments |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes - validates reliability for automotive electronics applications requiring PPAP documentation |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23 (TO-236) package: 2.90 mm × 1.30 mm × 1.00 mm body, 1.90 mm lead pitch, void-free thermosetting plastic case with corrosion-resistant finish and UL 94 V-0 flammability rating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode | Connected to lower-potential node in reverse-bias configuration; carries forward current during fault conditions |
| 2 | No Connection | Mechanical support only-no internal bond wire; must remain unconnected in PCB layout |
| 3 | Cathode | Connected to higher-potential node; defines regulated voltage reference point at cathode-to-anode potential |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Pb-Free, Halogen-Free/BFR-Free | RoHS-compliant construction enables use in environmentally regulated consumer and automotive supply chains |
| Automated Assembly Optimized | Standard SOT-23 footprint and marking alignment ensure high-yield pick-and-place and reflow soldering |
| High-Density Packaging | Small 2.90 × 1.30 mm outline allows placement in tight spaces such as smartphone PMIC rails and wearables |
| Stable Zener Voltage Tolerance | ±5% tolerance band (25.65–28.35 V) supports accurate threshold setting without post-production trimming |
| Low-Leakage Regulation | 0.1 μA max IR at 21 V enables reliable undervoltage lockout (UVLO) and brownout detection functions |

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-C27LT1G | Same 27 V nominal Zener, but rated for 300 mW on FR-4 and lacks AEC-Q101 qualification | Not suitable for automotive production; acceptable for commercial-grade portable devices | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive compliance requirements |
| SZBZX84C27LT1G | 27 V Zener with AEC-Q101 qualification and identical SOT-23 package, but 300 mW rating and 50 Ω ZZT | Higher power headroom and same automotive qualification, but slightly degraded regulation accuracy | Prefer when thermal margin is critical and ±5% VZ tolerance remains acceptable |
Compared with BZX84-C27LT1G and SZBZX84C27LT1G, SZMMBZ5254BLT1G offers tighter Zener impedance (41 Ω vs. ≥50 Ω) and guaranteed automotive qualification at 225 mW-making it optimal for space-constrained, thermally limited automotive sensor nodes where regulation precision is prioritized over absolute power handling.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SZMMBZ5254BLT1G?
The SZMMBZ5254BLT1G has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±5% around its nominal 27 V value, resulting in a guaranteed range of 25.65 V to 28.35 V at 4.6 mA test current. This tolerance is fully specified and tested per onsemi's production screening, and applies across the full −65°C to +150°C operating temperature range for the SZMMBZ5254BLT1G.
Is SZMMBZ5254BLT1G qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SZMMBZ5254BLT1G is AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, with full documentation available for automotive production release. The "SZ" prefix explicitly denotes automotive-grade manufacturing controls, site-specific change management, and extended reliability testing beyond standard commercial parts-making SZMMBZ5254BLT1G suitable for engine control units, ADAS modules, and infotainment systems.
What is the meaning of Pin 2 being labeled "No Connection" in SZMMBZ5254BLT1G?
Pin 2 of the SZMMBZ5254BLT1G is an unconnected mechanical tie-bar inside the SOT-23 package-present solely to enhance leadframe rigidity and placement accuracy during automated assembly. It must remain floating in the PCB layout; connecting it risks mechanical stress or unintended parasitic coupling. This NC terminal is confirmed in the official onsemi mechanical drawing CASE 318 STYLE 8 for SZMMBZ5254BLT1G.
How does the thermal resistance of SZMMBZ5254BLT1G affect its power handling?
SZMMBZ5254BLT1G has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 556 °C/W on FR-5 board, meaning each 1°C rise above ambient requires dissipating 1.8 mW less than the 225 mW rated power. At 85°C ambient, its usable power drops to ~115 mW-so thermal design must account for this derating curve to avoid exceeding 150°C maximum junction temperature in the SZMMBZ5254BLT1G.
Can SZMMBZ5254BLT1G replace MMBZ5254BLT1G in existing designs?
Yes, SZMMBZ5254BLT1G is a direct functional replacement for MMBZ5254BLT1G with identical electrical specifications, pinout, and package dimensions. The only differences are enhanced process controls, AEC-Q101 qualification, and automotive PPAP support-so no PCB or schematic changes are needed when upgrading to SZMMBZ5254BLT1G in new or legacy automotive designs.
