Product details
Overview
SZMMSZ20T1G from onsemi is a 20 V ±5% Zener voltage regulator diode in SOD−123 package, rated for 500 mW power dissipation at 75°C, with 55 Ω dynamic impedance at 5 mA and 0.05 μA reverse leakage at 14 V, used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in automotive power rails.
For engineers reviewing the SZMMSZ20T1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, thermal derating behavior, junction-to-ambient thermal resistance, and AEC−Q101 qualification status for automotive-grade reliability validation.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal shunt regulator, maintaining stable output voltage across its cathode-anode terminals under reverse bias when current exceeds the knee threshold. It exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +3.8 mV/°C near 20 V nominal Zener voltage, enabling predictable drift compensation in temperature-sensitive references.
Designed for surface-mount assembly on FR−4/FR−5 PCBs, it delivers Class 3 ESD robustness (>16 kV HBM) and supports automated pick-and-place handling. Its SOD−123 case (1.60 × 2.69 × 1.16 mm) enables high-density layout while meeting UL 94 V−0 flammability requirements.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for SZMMSZ20T1G?
The SZMMSZ20T1G has a nominal Zener voltage of 20 V with a tolerance of ±5%, meaning the actual measured voltage falls between 19.0 V and 21.0 V when tested at IZT = 5 mA and TA = 25°C. This tolerance is standardized across the MMSZxxxT1G family and applies to all SZ-prefix variants including SZMMSZ20T1G.
Is SZMMSZ20T1G suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SZMMSZ20T1G is AEC−Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, making it suitable for automotive applications such as body control modules, infotainment power supplies, and ADAS sensor interfaces. The SZ prefix explicitly denotes automotive-grade manufacturing controls and site-specific change management required by Tier 1 suppliers.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for SZMMSZ20T1G?
The maximum reverse leakage current for SZMMSZ20T1G is 0.05 μA at VR = 14 V and TA = 25°C. This ultra-low leakage supports precision biasing and low-power monitoring circuits where standby current must remain below 100 nA.
Does SZMMSZ20T1G have Pb−Free packaging?
Yes, SZMMSZ20T1G uses Pb−Free (RoHS-compliant) packaging, indicated by the "G" suffix in the part number and confirmed in the ordering information table. The device meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 and supports standard lead-free reflow profiles up to 260°C for 10 seconds.
What is the thermal resistance of SZMMSZ20T1G?
The thermal resistance, junction-to-ambient (RJA), for SZMMSZ20T1G is 340 °C/W when mounted on an FR−5 board. This value is critical for calculating junction temperature rise under load and must be used with derating curves to ensure operation stays within the −55°C to +150°C junction temperature range.
