Product details
Overview
SZMMBZ5261ELT1G from onsemi is a 47 V ±5% Zener voltage regulator diode in SOT-23 package, rated for 225 mW power dissipation at 25°C ambient, with 2.7 mA test current (IZT), 105 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT), and 0.1 μA leakage current at 36 V reverse bias - used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in compact DC power rails.
For engineers reviewing the SZMMBZ5261ELT1G 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), peak pulse power capability (225 W), and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal shunt regulator, conducting in reverse breakdown to clamp voltage across load circuits. Its nominal 47 V Zener voltage is specified at IZT = 2.7 mA with ±5% tolerance, and exhibits a positive temperature coefficient typical of mid-voltage Zeners in this series.
The SOT-23 package features Pin 1 (Anode), Pin 2 (No Connection), and Pin 3 (Cathode), with cathode polarity marked by a band. It delivers 225 mW steady-state dissipation on FR-5 board and supports transient surge handling up to 225 W (8 × 20 µs pulse), meeting Class 3 ESD requirements (>16 kV HBM).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 47 V nominal, 44.65–49.35 V range at IZT = 2.7 mA - defines stable regulation point for feedback or clamping circuits |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 225 mW at TA = 25°C on FR-5 board - limits continuous current to ~4.8 mA at 47 V without derating |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 105 Ω max at IZT = 2.7 mA - determines output voltage variation under load current changes |
| Leakage Current (IR) | 0.1 μA max at VR = 36 V - ensures minimal standby power loss in high-impedance bias networks |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV) per Human Body Model - enables direct integration into handheld and automotive front-end interfaces without added protection |
| Thermal Resistance (RJA) | 556 °C/W on FR-5 board - requires thermal-aware layout for sustained operation above 25°C ambient |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Validated for automotive applications including engine control modules and body electronics - supports PPAP documentation |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23 (TO-236) surface-mount plastic package, 2.90 × 1.30 × 1.00 mm, void-free thermosetting case with corrosion-resistant finish; cathode indicated by polarity band; Pb-free and RoHS compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - Anode | Forward conduction terminal / Zener cathode reference node | Connected to lower-potential side of regulated node; reverse-biased during regulation |
| 2 - No Connection | Internal isolation | Not bonded; electrically floating - must remain unconnected on PCB |

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

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-C47LT1G | Same 47 V nominal Zener, but 300 mW rating, 60 Ω ZZT, no AEC-Q101 qualification | Preferred for non-automotive consumer power supplies where higher power margin and lower impedance are needed | Select when higher continuous power headroom and tighter regulation are prioritized over automotive compliance |
| SZBZX84C47LT1G | AEC-Q101 qualified, same 47 V and SOT-23 package, but 300 mW rating and 60 Ω ZZT | Drop-in replacement for SZMMBZ5261ELT1G in automotive designs requiring higher power or lower impedance | Choose when upgrading legacy designs needing improved thermal margin or reduced regulation error under varying load |
Compared with BZX84-C47LT1G and SZBZX84C47LT1G, the SZMMBZ5261ELT1G offers tighter Zener voltage tolerance (±5% vs ±6%) and lower cost in high-volume automotive programs, though with higher dynamic impedance and lower power rating - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, space-limited ECU subcircuits where 225 mW suffices.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SZMMBZ5261ELT1G?
The SZMMBZ5261ELT1G has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±5% around its nominal 47 V rating, meaning the actual measured VZ falls between 44.65 V and 49.35 V at IZT = 2.7 mA and TA = 25°C. This tolerance is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the official onsemi datasheet. The SZMMBZ5261ELT1G maintains this specification across its qualified operating temperature range.
Is SZMMBZ5261ELT1G suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SZMMBZ5261ELT1G is AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, explicitly designated for automotive and other applications requiring unique site and control change requirements (as indicated by the "SZ" prefix). It operates across -65°C to +150°C junction temperature and meets stringent reliability testing for engine control, body electronics, and ADAS subsystems - making SZMMBZ5261ELT1G appropriate for under-hood and cabin-mounted modules.
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation for SZMMBZ5261ELT1G on a standard PCB?
SZMMBZ5261ELT1G is rated for 225 mW total power dissipation on FR-5 board at TA = 25°C, with derating of 1.8 mW/°C above that ambient temperature. This corresponds to a maximum continuous Zener current of approximately 4.8 mA at 47 V. Exceeding this limit without thermal relief risks exceeding the 150°C maximum junction temperature and compromising long-term reliability of the SZMMBZ5261ELT1G.
Does SZMMBZ5261ELT1G have a no-connect pin, and how should it be handled on the PCB?
Yes, SZMMBZ5261ELT1G has Pin 2 designated as "No Connection" per the mechanical outline (Style 8) and Electrical Characteristics table. This terminal is internally unconnected and must remain unattached on the PCB layout. Routing traces to or placing solder paste on Pin 2 may cause assembly defects or unintended parasitic coupling - correct implementation ensures only Pins 1 (Anode) and 3 (Cathode) are populated in the SZMMBZ5261ELT1G footprint.
What is the ESD rating of SZMMBZ5261ELT1G, and how is it verified?
SZMMBZ5261ELT1G carries a Class 3 Human Body Model (HBM) ESD rating of >16 kV, verified per ANSI/ESDA/JEDEC JS-001. This rating is stated in the Features section of the onsemi datasheet and applies to both anode and cathode terminals. The high ESD robustness allows SZMMBZ5261ELT1G to be used directly at board-level interfaces - such as sensor inputs or power rail monitors - without additional TVS or RC filtering in most portable and automotive environments.
