Product details
Overview
SZMMSZ4690T3G from onsemi is a 5.6 V ±5% Zener voltage regulator diode in SOD−123 package, rated for 500 mW power dissipation at TL = 75°C, with 50 µA test current (IZT), 10 µA reverse leakage at 4 V (IR), and −55°C to +150°C operating temperature range - used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in automotive power management circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SZMMSZ4690T3G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, low IZT stability, AEC−Q101 qualification, thermal resistance (RJL = 150°C/W), and SOD−123 board-mount compatibility in space-constrained automotive ECUs.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal shunt voltage regulator, maintaining stable output voltage across variable load currents by conducting reverse breakdown current above its nominal Zener voltage of 5.6 V. Its low 50 µA IZT enables accurate regulation even under light-load conditions typical in sensor biasing and microcontroller reset circuits.
The SOD−123 package provides optimized thermal performance (RJL = 150°C/W) and automated assembly compatibility, while the −55°C to +150°C junction temperature range and AEC−Q101 qualification confirm suitability for under-hood automotive environments where thermal cycling and reliability are critical.
Key Specifications

| Junction-to-Lead Thermal Resistance (RJL) | 150°C/W - enables efficient heat transfer to PCB copper, critical for sustained 500 mW operation |
| Reverse Leakage Current (IR) | 10 µA @ VR = 4 V - minimizes standby power loss in battery-backed systems |
| Operating Temperature Range | −55°C to +150°C - validated for engine control units and transmission modules per AEC−Q101 |

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-C5V6LT1G | Same 5.6 V nominal Zener, but 350 mW rating and SOT−23 package; higher RJA (450°C/W) | Limited to lower-power consumer or industrial applications; not AEC−Q101 qualified | Select only if automotive qualification and 500 mW thermal margin are not required |
| MMSZ5232BT1G | 5.6 V Zener, 500 mW rating, but no AEC−Q101 qualification and higher IR (25 µA @ 4 V) | Suitable for non-automotive industrial controls; lacks PPAP capability and automotive traceability | Prefer for cost-sensitive non-automotive designs where extended temperature validation is unnecessary |

FAQ
What is the nominal Zener voltage and tolerance of SZMMSZ4690T3G?
The SZMMSZ4690T3G has a nominal Zener voltage of 5.6 V with a tolerance of ±5%, corresponding to a guaranteed range of 5.32 V to 5.88 V at IZT = 50 µA and TA = 25°C. This tight tolerance ensures predictable clamping behavior in automotive voltage supervision circuits where reference accuracy directly impacts system safety margins.
Is SZMMSZ4690T3G qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SZMMSZ4690T3G is AEC−Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, with full traceability and process control aligned to automotive quality standards. The "SZ" prefix explicitly denotes devices manufactured under automotive-specific site and change control requirements, making SZMMSZ4690T3G suitable for production use in engine control, ADAS, and body electronics.
What is the maximum power dissipation and thermal derating behavior of SZMMSZ4690T3G?
SZMMSZ4690T3G is rated for 500 mW total power dissipation on FR−5 board at TL = 75°C, with linear derating of 6.7 mW/°C above that temperature. Its junction-to-lead thermal resistance (RJL) is 150°C/W, enabling effective heat conduction to PCB copper - critical for sustaining full-rated power in thermally dense automotive modules.
How does the reverse leakage current of SZMMSZ4690T3G compare to similar Zeners?
SZMMSZ4690T3G specifies only 10 µA maximum reverse leakage current (IR) at VR = 4 V and TA = 25°C - significantly lower than many competing 5.6 V Zeners (e.g., MMSZ5232BT1G at 25 µA). This low leakage reduces standby power loss in battery-critical automotive subsystems such as always-on domain controllers and telematics modules.
What package type and dimensions does SZMMSZ4690T3G use?
SZMMSZ4690T3G uses the SOD−123 surface-mount package (Case 425), measuring 1.60 mm × 2.69 mm × 1.16 mm. It features a cathode polarity band, Pb−free construction, and is rated for 260°C reflow soldering for 10 seconds - optimized for high-speed automated assembly and high-density PCB layouts in automotive electronics.
