Product details
Overview
SZMMSZ27T3G from onsemi is a 27 V ±5% Zener voltage regulator diode in SOD−123 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, used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in automotive power management circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SZMMSZ27T3G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal derating behavior, AEC−Q101 qualification status, and direct alternatives for voltage regulation design validation.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable 27 V output across varying load currents, with temperature coefficient optimized near zero for mid-voltage Zeners (24–33 V range). Its 80 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT = 2 mA ensures low AC voltage variation under transient conditions.
Designed for automotive-grade reliability, SZMMSZ27T3G meets AEC−Q101 stress testing requirements and supports high-density PCB layouts via its compact SOD−123 footprint (1.60 × 2.69 × 1.16 mm), with cathode polarity marked by a band and Pb−free construction compliant with RoHS.

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 SOT-23 package (higher RJA = 350°C/W), 350 mW rating, no AEC-Q101 qualification | Not suitable for automotive under-hood use; limited to consumer or industrial PCBs with ample airflow | Select only when space constraints favor SOT-23 and automotive qualification is unnecessary |
| MMSZ27ET1G | Identical SOD-123 package and 27 V rating, but ±2% tolerance (tighter), higher cost, same AEC-Q101 status | Used where tighter voltage tolerance is required for calibration-critical instrumentation | Choose when system-level calibration requires <±0.5 V absolute reference uncertainty |
Compared with BZX84-C27LT1G and MMSZ27ET1G, SZMMSZ27T3G uniquely balances automotive qualification, 500 mW power capability, and cost-effective ±5% tolerance-making it optimal for volume automotive power rail monitoring where strict calibration is not required.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for SZMMSZ27T3G?
SZMMSZ27T3G has a nominal Zener voltage of 27 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%, resulting in a guaranteed operating range of 25.65 V to 28.35 V at 2 mA test current and 1 ms pulse width. This tolerance is specified per onsemi's MMSZxxxT1G Series datasheet Rev. 13 and applies directly to SZMMSZ27T3G as an SZ-prefix variant.
Is SZMMSZ27T3G qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SZMMSZ27T3G is AEC−Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, as explicitly stated in the official onsemi datasheet. The "SZ" prefix denotes compliance with automotive-specific site and process controls, making SZMMSZ27T3G suitable for engine control units, body electronics, and other automotive subsystems requiring certified reliability.
What is the maximum power dissipation of SZMMSZ27T3G at 100°C ambient?
At 100°C ambient, SZMMSZ27T3G's power dissipation is derated from its 500 mW rating at 75°C. With a derating factor of 6.7 mW/°C, the allowable power drops to 332.5 mW (500 − 6.7 × 25). This value assumes mounting on FR−5 board per datasheet Note 1 and must be verified with actual board thermal resistance in final layout.
Does SZMMSZ27T3G have a specified temperature coefficient?
Yes, SZMMSZ27T3G exhibits a typical temperature coefficient near zero (±0.002%/°C) in the 24–33 V range, as shown in Figure 1 of the onsemi datasheet. This low TC minimizes voltage drift over temperature, supporting stable reference performance from −55°C to +150°C junction temperature.
What packaging option does SZMMSZ27T3G ship in?
SZMMSZ27T3G ships in Pb−free tape-and-reel packaging with 10,000 units per reel, as defined in the "ORDERING INFORMATION" section of the onsemi datasheet. The "T3G" suffix confirms the SOD−123 package, Pb−free construction, and 10 k/reel configuration-distinct from the "T1G" 3 k/reel variant.
