Product details
Overview
SZMMSZ3V6T1G from onsemi is a 3.6 V ±5% Zener voltage regulator diode in SOD−123 package, rated for 500 mW power dissipation at 75°C, with 90 Ω dynamic impedance at 5 mA test current and 5 µA reverse leakage at 1 V reverse bias - used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in low-power analog sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SZMMSZ3V6T1G 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 Pb−free SOD−123 footprint compatibility with automated assembly.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal shunt voltage regulator, maintaining stable 3.6 V output across load variations by conducting reverse current above its breakdown threshold. It exhibits a temperature coefficient near zero (≈0 mV/°C) in the 3.3–3.9 V range, minimizing drift in ambient-temperature-sensitive circuits.
Designed for surface-mount use on FR−4/FR−5 boards, it delivers specified performance under pulsed (1 ms) and steady-state conditions, with derating applied above 75°C ambient. Its cathode-anode polarity is marked by a band, and maximum soldering temperature is 260°C for 10 seconds.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 3.42 V min / 3.6 V nominal / 3.78 V max @ IZT = 5 mA - defines regulated output voltage window with ±5% tolerance. |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 500 mW @ TL = 75°C - sets maximum continuous power handling before thermal derating begins. |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 90 Ω max @ IZT = 5 mA - determines regulation stiffness and AC ripple rejection capability. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 5 µA max @ VR = 1 V - ensures minimal standby current draw in low-power battery applications. |
| Thermal Resistance (RJA) | 340°C/W - quantifies junction-to-ambient heat transfer efficiency on standard PCB layout. |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV) per HBM - supports robust handling in manual assembly and field-replaceable modules. |
| AEC−Q101 Qualified | Yes - validates suitability for automotive electronics requiring stress-tested reliability and PPAP compliance. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMSZ3V6T1G | No SZ prefix; not AEC−Q101 qualified; same electrical specs and SOD−123 package. | Intended for industrial/commercial use only; lacks automotive change control documentation. | Select when AEC−Q101 compliance is unnecessary and cost sensitivity is higher. |
| BZX84-C3V6 | Higher ZZT (100 Ω max), wider VZ tolerance (±6%), SOT−23 package (larger footprint). | Less stable regulation under varying load; requires different PCB land pattern. | Choose only if legacy SOT−23 layout exists and tighter voltage stability is not required. |
Compared with MMSZ3V6T1G and BZX84-C3V6, SZMMSZ3V6T1G provides automotive-grade reliability with identical regulation performance and smallest board area - making it optimal for new designs targeting functional safety and miniaturization.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SZMMSZ3V6T1G?
The SZMMSZ3V6T1G has a nominal Zener voltage of 3.6 V with a tolerance of ±5%, resulting in a guaranteed range of 3.42 V to 3.78 V at 5 mA test current (IZT). This tolerance is standardized across the MMSZ/SZMMSZ series and verified per JEDEC test methods in the official onsemi datasheet Rev. 13.
Is SZMMSZ3V6T1G suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SZMMSZ3V6T1G is AEC−Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, with explicit design validation for automotive environments including temperature cycling, humidity testing, and mechanical shock. The "SZ" prefix denotes automotive-specific site and process controls, distinguishing it from commercial-grade MMSZ3V6T1G variants.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for SZMMSZ3V6T1G at 1 V bias?
The maximum reverse leakage current (IR) for SZMMSZ3V6T1G is 5 µA when biased at VR = 1 V, measured at TA = 25°C. This value is confirmed in Table 1 of the onsemi datasheet and critical for ultra-low-power applications such as battery-backed real-time clocks or sensor wake-up circuits.
Does SZMMSZ3V6T1G have a Pb−free package?
Yes, SZMMSZ3V6T1G uses a Pb−free SOD−123 package (Case 425, Style 1), compliant with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. The "G" suffix in the part number explicitly indicates Pb−free construction, and the device meets onsemi's soldering and mounting specifications for lead-free reflow profiles.
What is the thermal resistance junction-to-ambient for SZMMSZ3V6T1G?
The thermal resistance junction-to-ambient (RJA) for SZMMSZ3V6T1G is 340°C/W, measured on FR−5 board using infrared scanning per Note 2 in the Maximum Ratings table. This value assumes standard 3.5 × 1.5 inch board size and guides thermal layout decisions for sustained 500 mW operation.
