Product details
Overview
SZMMSZ27ET1G from onsemi is a 27 V ±5% Zener voltage regulator diode in SOD-123 surface-mount package, rated for 500 mW power dissipation at 75 °C on FR-5 board, with 80 Ω dynamic impedance at 5 mA test current and 0.05 µA reverse leakage at 25 V, used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in automotive power rails.
For engineers reviewing the SZMMSZ27ET1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±5%), thermal resistance (340 °C/W), AEC-Q101 qualification, ESD rating (>16 kV HBM), and SOD-123 footprint compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal shunt regulator, maintaining stable 27 V output across load variations by conducting reverse current above its breakdown threshold. It features a temperature coefficient of +6.5 mV/°C (typical for 27 V Zeners per Figure 1), enabling predictable drift compensation in bias networks.
Designed for automotive-grade reliability, SZMMSZ27ET1G meets AEC-Q101 stress testing requirements and supports peak surge power up to 225 W (8 × 20 µs pulse), with junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 340 °C/W ensuring stable operation under transient thermal loads.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 27 V nominal, ±5% tolerance (25.65–28.35 V), measured at 5 mA test current for stable reference accuracy |
| Power Dissipation | 500 mW on FR-5 board at 75 °C, derated linearly above that temperature (6.7 mW/°C) |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 80 Ω max at IZT = 5 mA, ensuring minimal output voltage variation under load transients |
| Reverse Leakage Current | ≤0.05 µA at VR = 25 V, enabling low-power standby regulation without significant quiescent loss |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV) per Human Body Model, supporting robust handling in automated assembly lines |
| Thermal Resistance | Junction-to-ambient: 340 °C/W; junction-to-lead: 150 °C/W - critical for thermal design margin in enclosed modules |
| Operating Temperature | −55 °C to +150 °C junction range, validated for under-hood automotive environments |
Pinout & Package
SOD-123 plastic surface-mount package (1.60 × 2.69 × 1.16 mm), void-free thermosetting case with corrosion-resistant finish, cathode indicated by polarity band, UL 94 V-0 flammability rating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Banded End) | Cathode | Connected to regulated voltage rail; reverse-biased terminal where Zener breakdown occurs |
| 2 (Non-banded End) | Anode | Connected to ground or lower-potential node; completes shunt regulation path during overvoltage events |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

| Pb-Free Construction | RoHS-compliant SOD-123 package with lead-free solder compatibility and 260 °C reflow tolerance (10 s) |
| High Surge Withstand | 225 W nonrepetitive peak power (8 × 20 µs) enables protection against load-dump transients in 12 V systems |
| Low Capacitance | ~10 pF typical at 0 V bias (per Figure 7), minimizing signal coupling in high-frequency sensing circuits |
| Stable Tempco | +6.5 mV/°C typical (inferred from Figure 1 trend for 27 V point), supporting predictable drift in temperature-compensated references |

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 ±5%, but 300 mW rating and SOT-23 package; higher ZZT (100 Ω max) | Limited to lower-power consumer applications due to reduced power handling and thermal resistance | Select when board space allows SOT-23 and automotive qualification is not required |
| MMSZ27ET1G | Identical electrical specs and SOD-123 package, but lacks SZ-prefix AEC-Q101 qualification and PPAP capability | Not approved for automotive production; suitable only for industrial or commercial designs | Choose only for cost-sensitive non-automotive use where AEC-Q101 is unnecessary |
Compared with BZX84-C27LT1G and MMSZ27ET1G, SZMMSZ27ET1G provides superior automotive reliability (AEC-Q101), higher surge immunity (225 W vs. 100 W), and tighter thermal management (340 °C/W vs. ~400 °C/W), making it the sole option for under-hood deployment.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SZMMSZ27ET1G?
SZMMSZ27ET1G has a nominal Zener voltage of 27 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%, resulting in a guaranteed range of 25.65 V to 28.35 V when tested at 5 mA Zener current and 25 °C ambient temperature. This tolerance is specified per onsemi's datasheet revision 8 and applies across the full operating temperature range of −55 °C to +150 °C.
Is SZMMSZ27ET1G qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SZMMSZ27ET1G is AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, confirming its suitability for automotive electronic systems including engine control units, body control modules, and ADAS power domains. The "SZ" prefix explicitly denotes compliance with automotive-specific site and process controls, distinguishing it from the commercial-grade MMSZ27ET1G variant.
What is the maximum peak surge power rating for SZMMSZ27ET1G?
SZMMSZ27ET1G supports a nonrepetitive peak surge power of 225 W for an 8 × 20 µs pulse waveform at 25 °C ambient, as defined in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This rating enables reliable protection against ISO 7637-2 load-dump transients in 12 V vehicle electrical systems without device failure.
Does SZMMSZ27ET1G have Pb-free packaging?
Yes, SZMMSZ27ET1G uses a Pb-free SOD-123 package compliant with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. The "G" suffix in the part number confirms lead-free construction, and the device supports standard lead-free reflow profiles with a maximum soldering temperature of 260 °C for 10 seconds, as verified in the Mechanical Characteristics section.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for SZMMSZ27ET1G?
SZMMSZ27ET1G exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current of 0.05 µA at VR = 25 V and TA = 25 °C, per the Electrical Characteristics table. This ultra-low leakage ensures minimal power loss in always-on circuits such as battery-backed sensors or standby voltage monitors where quiescent current must remain below 100 nA.
