Product details
Overview
SZMMSZ4681T1G from onsemi is a 2.4 V nominal Zener voltage regulator diode in SOD−123 package, rated for 500 mW power dissipation at 75°C, with 50 µA test current (IZT), 2 V reverse leakage current (IR) at 1 V VR, and ±5% voltage tolerance. It provides precision low-voltage reference and overvoltage clamping in space-constrained power management circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SZMMSZ4681T1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy at low IZT, thermal derating behavior on FR-5 board, cathode/anode polarity marking, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive subsystems.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal silicon Zener diode optimized for stable reverse-biased voltage regulation. Its 2.4 V nominal Zener voltage falls in the low-voltage range where temperature coefficient is negative (≈ −3 mV/°C), and dynamic impedance (ZZT) is typically ≤ 100 Ω at 1 mA.
The SOD−123 package supports automated placement and reflow soldering up to 260°C for 10 seconds. With junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 340°C/W and ESD rating >16 kV (HBM), it meets robustness requirements for industrial and automotive PCB environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 2.28 V min / 2.4 V nom / 2.52 V max @ IZT = 50 µA - defines tight 5% tolerance band for low-voltage reference stability |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 500 mW @ TL = 75°C - sets maximum continuous power handling on standard FR-5 PCB with thermal derating above 75°C |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤ 2 µA @ VR = 1 V - ensures minimal quiescent current draw in standby or battery-backed circuits |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | Typ. ≤ 100 Ω @ IZ = 1 mA - determines output voltage variation under small-signal load transients |
| Temperature Range | −55°C to +150°C - enables operation in under-hood automotive and industrial control environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMSZ4681T1G | No automotive qualification; same electrical specs and SOD−123 package | Not suitable for AEC-Q101–mandated automotive systems | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive compliance requirements |
| BZX84-C2V4LT1G | Higher ZZT (typ. 120 Ω), wider VZ tolerance (±6%), same 2.4 V nominal, SOT-23 package | Larger footprint and lower regulation precision limit use in high-accuracy references | Choose only if SOT-23 board real estate or legacy design reuse is prioritized over voltage stability |
Compared with SZMMSZ4681T1G, MMSZ4681T1G offers identical regulation performance but lacks PPAP capability and automotive traceability, while BZX84-C2V4LT1G trades precision and package size for broader commercial availability-making SZMMSZ4681T1G optimal for automotive-grade, space-constrained, low-IQ reference designs.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SZMMSZ4681T1G?
The SZMMSZ4681T1G has a nominal Zener voltage of 2.4 V with minimum 2.28 V and maximum 2.52 V values at IZT = 50 µA, resulting in a ±5% tolerance band. This tight tolerance is maintained across the full operating temperature range of −55°C to +150°C and supports precision reference applications without external trimming. The SZMMSZ4681T1G datasheet specifies these limits under standard test conditions at TA = 25°C.
Is SZMMSZ4681T1G suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SZMMSZ4681T1G is AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, with manufacturing traceability and process controls aligned to automotive quality standards. Its SOD−123 package, −55°C to +150°C operating range, and 16 kV HBM ESD rating make it appropriate for under-hood and cabin electronics. The "SZ" prefix explicitly denotes automotive-grade version of the MMSZ4681T1G base part.
What is the maximum power dissipation for SZMMSZ4681T1G on a standard PCB?
SZMMSZ4681T1G is rated for 500 mW total power dissipation on FR-5 board at lead temperature (TL) of 75°C. Above 75°C, it derates linearly at 6.7 mW/°C. Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is 340°C/W, meaning ambient temperature rise must be carefully managed in enclosed or high-power-density layouts to avoid exceeding TJ(max) = +150°C.
How is polarity identified on the SZMMSZ4681T1G package?
SZMMSZ4681T1G uses standard SOD−123 polarity marking: the cathode is indicated by a visible band at one end of the package, corresponding to Pin 1 in the mechanical outline. The anode is the opposite, unbanded end (Pin 2). This marking is consistent across all MMSZ4xxxT1G and SZMMSZ4xxxT1G devices and aligns with JEDEC SOD−123 footprint conventions.
Does SZMMSZ4681T1G require external current-limiting resistors in typical applications?
Yes, SZMMSZ4681T1G requires a series current-limiting resistor to establish the desired Zener bias current (IZ) between IZT = 50 µA and the maximum allowable current defined by PD and thermal limits. For example, when regulating from a 5 V supply to 2.4 V, a 51 kΩ resistor delivers ~51 µA-within the optimal regulation zone while keeping power well below 500 mW. The SZMMSZ4681T1G functions only when reverse-biased with controlled current.
