Product details
Overview
SZMMSZ4690ET1G from onsemi is a 5.6 V ±5% Zener voltage regulator diode in SOD-123 package, rated for 500 mW power dissipation at 75 °C on FR-5 board, with 10 µA reverse leakage at 4 V, 225 W peak surge capability (8 × 20 µs), and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use.
For engineers reviewing the SZMMSZ4690ET1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include nominal Zener voltage tolerance, thermal derating behavior, junction-to-lead thermal resistance (150 °C/W), ESD robustness (>16 kV HBM), and Pb-free SOD-123 surface-mount compatibility with automated assembly.
Technical Context
This discrete Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable reference voltage under varying load and temperature conditions. Its 5.6 V nominal Zener voltage is specified at 50 mA test current (IZT), with dynamic impedance of 15 Ω at IZ = 5 mA and temperature coefficient near 0 mV/°C in this voltage range.
The device features a cathode-anode two-terminal structure, polarity marked by band on SOD-123 case, and is characterized for operation across −55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature. It delivers 500 mW steady-state power on FR-5 board with linear derating above 75 °C (6.7 mW/°C) and supports transient surge handling up to 225 W per non-repetitive 8 × 20 µs pulse.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 5.32–5.88 V @ IZT = 50 mA - defines stable regulation window for low-voltage reference circuits |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 500 mW @ TL = 75 °C - maximum continuous power on FR-5 board before thermal derating applies |
| Peak Surge Power (Ppk) | 225 W @ 8 × 20 µs - supports transient overvoltage clamping without failure |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 10 µA @ VR = 4 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in standby bias networks |
| Thermal Resistance (RJL) | 150 °C/W - enables predictable junction temperature rise from lead-to-junction conduction path |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV HBM) - provides robust handling during PCB assembly and system integration |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes - validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical stress |
Pinout & Package

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMSZ4690ET1G | No SZ prefix; not AEC-Q101 qualified; identical electrical specs and SOD-123 package | Targeted for commercial/industrial use only; lacks automotive qualification documentation and PPAP support | Select when automotive qualification is unnecessary and cost sensitivity is higher |
| BZX84-C5V6LT1G | Same 5.6 V nominal Zener, but 350 mW rating, 22 Ω ZZT, and SOT-23 package (larger footprint, different thermal path) | Lower power handling limits use in high-current bias networks; SOT-23 requires different stencil and placement setup | Select when board space allows SOT-23 and peak power demands stay below 350 mW |

FAQ
What is the nominal Zener voltage and tolerance of SZMMSZ4690ET1G?
The SZMMSZ4690ET1G has a nominal Zener voltage of 5.6 V with a tolerance of ±5%, specified as 5.32 V (min) to 5.88 V (max) at IZT = 50 mA and TA = 25 °C. This tight tolerance ensures consistent reference performance across production lots and supports precision biasing in analog front-ends where absolute voltage accuracy matters.
Is SZMMSZ4690ET1G suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SZMMSZ4690ET1G is AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, with full traceability, controlled manufacturing site requirements, and validation across temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical stress tests. Its SZ prefix explicitly denotes automotive-grade compliance, making SZMMSZ4690ET1G appropriate for use in body control modules, lighting drivers, and ADAS sensor power supplies.
What is the maximum power dissipation and thermal derating behavior of SZMMSZ4690ET1G?
SZMMSZ4690ET1G delivers 500 mW power dissipation at TL = 75 °C on FR-5 board, derating linearly at 6.7 mW/°C above that temperature. Junction-to-lead thermal resistance is 150 °C/W, enabling accurate thermal modeling. At 100 °C board temperature, usable power drops to ~333 mW-critical for thermal design in sealed enclosures or high-ambient environments.
Does SZMMSZ4690ET1G have ESD protection built-in?
Yes, SZMMSZ4690ET1G is rated Class 3 per Human Body Model with >16 kV ESD withstand capability. This eliminates the need for external TVS diodes in many I/O protection schemes and ensures robust handling during automated PCB assembly, field service, and end-user interaction-particularly valuable in handheld diagnostic tools and automotive service ports.
What package type and marking does SZMMSZ4690ET1G use?
SZMMSZ4690ET1G uses the SOD-123 package (1.60 × 2.69 × 1.16 mm), with cathode indicated by a band. Its marking code is "CG9", followed by a date code and Pb-free indicator ("G" or microdot). The package meets UL 94 V-0 flammability rating and supports standard Pb-free reflow profiles up to 260 °C for 10 seconds.
