Product details
Overview
SZMMSZ4688T3G from onsemi is a 4.7 V ±5% Zener voltage regulator diode in SOD−123 package, rated for 500 mW power dissipation at 75°C, with 50 µA test current (IZT), 10 µA leakage at 3 V reverse bias, and −55°C to +150°C operating temperature range-used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in automotive sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SZMMSZ4688T3G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, low IZT stability, AEC−Q101 qualification, thermal derating behavior, and SOD−123 board assembly compatibility.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal silicon Zener diode, conducting in reverse breakdown to maintain stable voltage across its terminals under varying load and temperature conditions. Its 4.7 V nominal Zener voltage exhibits a positive temperature coefficient near zero crossing, with dynamic impedance of 19 Ω at 1 mA and 50 µA test current defining regulation onset.
Designed for automotive-grade reliability, SZMMSZ4688T3G features Class 3 ESD robustness (>16 kV HBM), Pb−Free RoHS compliance, and thermal resistance of 150 °C/W junction-to-lead-enabling direct integration into space-constrained, high-reliability PCBs without heatsinking.

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-C4V7LT1G | Same 4.7 V nominal Zener, but 350 mW rating and SOT−23 package; higher dynamic impedance (60 Ω) | Limited to lower-power consumer applications; not AEC−Q101 qualified | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive qualification and thermal performance needs |
| SZBZX84C4V7LT3G | 4.7 V Zener, AEC−Q101 qualified, SOT−23 package, 350 mW rating, 60 Ω ZZT | Smaller thermal mass limits sustained power handling; requires tighter layout thermal relief | Choose for legacy SOT−23 footprint compatibility where board redesign is prohibited |
Compared with BZX84-C4V7LT1G and SZBZX84C4V7LT3G, SZMMSZ4688T3G delivers higher power capability (500 mW vs. 350 mW), lower dynamic impedance (19 Ω vs. 60 Ω), and superior thermal resistance (150 °C/W vs. ~200 °C/W), making it preferable for automotive under-hood applications demanding long-term regulation stability.

FAQ
What is the nominal Zener voltage of SZMMSZ4688T3G and its tolerance?
The nominal Zener voltage of SZMMSZ4688T3G is 4.7 V, with a guaranteed range of 4.47 V to 4.94 V at IZT = 50 µA and TA = 25°C. This ±5% tolerance ensures predictable clamping behavior in automotive voltage-reference designs where tight regulation is required without active feedback.
Is SZMMSZ4688T3G qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SZMMSZ4688T3G is AEC−Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, with full traceability and process controls aligned to automotive quality standards. The "SZ" prefix explicitly denotes devices manufactured under automotive-specific site and change-control requirements, making SZMMSZ4688T3G suitable for safety-critical ECU and ADAS subsystems.
What is the maximum power dissipation for SZMMSZ4688T3G and how does it derate with temperature?
SZMMSZ4688T3G has a maximum power dissipation of 500 mW at lead temperature (TL) = 75°C, derating linearly at 6.7 mW/°C above that point. At TL = 125°C, usable power drops to approximately 165 mW-critical for thermal design in sealed engine bay enclosures where ambient temperatures exceed 105°C.
What package type does SZMMSZ4688T3G use and what are its dimensions?
SZMMSZ4688T3G uses the SOD−123 surface-mount package (Case 425), measuring 1.60 mm × 2.69 mm × 1.16 mm. Its compact size supports high-density PCB layouts, and the cathode is marked by a visible band on the banded end-verified per the mechanical outline in the official onsemi datasheet.
How does the dynamic impedance of SZMMSZ4688T3G affect voltage regulation performance?
The dynamic impedance of SZMMSZ4688T3G is 19 Ω at IZ = 1 mA, directly determining how much the output voltage varies with changes in load current. Lower ZZT yields tighter regulation-e.g., a 2 mA load shift causes only ~38 mV drift-making SZMMSZ4688T3G well-suited for precision biasing in analog sensor interfaces where stability is critical.
