Product details
Overview
SZMMSZ27T1G 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, with 80 Ω dynamic impedance at 2 mA test current and 0.05 μA reverse leakage at 18.9 V. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in automotive power management circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SZMMSZ27T1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal derating behavior, AEC−Q101 qualification status, and direct alternatives for automotive-grade voltage regulation design.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal silicon Zener diode optimized for stable reverse-bias breakdown at nominal 27 V with ±5% tolerance. Its 80 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT) at IZT = 2 mA ensures low voltage variation under load changes, while its −55°C to +150°C junction temperature range supports under-hood automotive deployment.
The SOD−123 package provides 150°C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance and supports automated placement. ESD rating exceeds 16 kV (HBM Class 3), and it meets AEC−Q101 stress testing requirements for automotive electronics reliability.
Key Specifications

| Power Dissipation (PD) | 500 mW on FR−5 board at TL = 75°C - sets maximum continuous power handling before thermal derating begins |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 80 Ω max at IZT = 2 mA - determines output voltage stability under varying load current |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.05 μA max at VR = 18.9 V - ensures minimal quiescent current draw in standby mode |
| Thermal Resistance (RJL) | 150°C/W junction-to-lead - enables accurate PCB trace thermal modeling for heatsinking decisions |
| ESD Rating (HBM) | Class 3 (>16 kV) - qualifies for direct integration into unshielded automotive sensor interfaces |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMSZ27T1G | No SZ prefix; commercial grade (non-AEC−Q101); identical electrical specs and SOD−123 package | Not qualified for automotive production; suitable for industrial prototypes or non-safety-critical systems | Select when AEC−Q101 compliance is not required and cost optimization is prioritized |
| BZX84-C27LT1G | Same 27 V nominal Zener voltage but ±6% tolerance; 100 Ω ZZT at 5 mA; SOT−23 package (larger footprint, higher RJA) | Higher thermal resistance limits power handling in dense layouts; looser tolerance affects precision reference use | Choose only if SOT−23 is already standardized in BOM and 27 V ±6% is acceptable for target function |
Compared with MMSZ27T1G and BZX84-C27LT1G, SZMMSZ27T1G uniquely combines AEC−Q101 qualification, ±5% tight tolerance, and low-leakage performance in the smallest SOD−123 footprint-making it the sole choice for production automotive voltage clamping where reliability and space constraints coexist.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SZMMSZ27T1G?
The SZMMSZ27T1G has a nominal Zener voltage of 27 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%, meaning the actual measured VZ falls between 25.65 V and 28.35 V at IZT = 2 mA and TA = 25°C. This tolerance is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the official onsemi datasheet (Rev. 13, June 2024) and applies across the full operating temperature range.
Is SZMMSZ27T1G qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SZMMSZ27T1G is AEC−Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, as explicitly stated in the Features section of the onsemi datasheet. The "SZ" prefix denotes automotive-grade manufacturing controls, site-specific process validation, and stress testing aligned with automotive reliability standards-making SZMMSZ27T1G suitable for production ECUs, BCMs, and ADAS subsystems.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for SZMMSZ27T1G?
The maximum reverse leakage current (IR) for SZMMSZ27T1G is 0.05 μA at VR = 18.9 V, per the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the onsemi datasheet. This ultra-low leakage ensures minimal parasitic loading in high-impedance reference or monitoring circuits, especially critical in battery-powered medical and automotive applications.
Does SZMMSZ27T1G have Pb−Free packaging?
Yes, SZMMSZ27T1G uses a Pb−Free SOD−123 package, as confirmed by the "G" suffix in the part number and the "Pb−Free Packages are Available" statement in the datasheet Features section. It complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and meets JEDEC J-STD-020 reflow soldering requirements for lead-free assembly processes.
What is the thermal resistance junction-to-lead for SZMMSZ27T1G?
The thermal resistance junction-to-lead (RJL) for SZMMSZ27T1G is 150°C/W, as specified in the Maximum Ratings table on page 1 of the onsemi datasheet. This value enables accurate thermal modeling of PCB copper pour and trace design for heat dissipation-critical when operating near the 500 mW power limit in confined automotive enclosures.
