Product details
Overview
SZMMSZ5222BT1G from onsemi is a 2.5 V ±5% Zener diode in SOD−123 package, rated for 500 mW power dissipation at TL = 75°C, with 1250 Ω maximum dynamic impedance at 20 mA test current and 0.25 μA reverse leakage at 100 V, used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in low-power analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SZMMSZ5222BT1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±5%), thermal equilibrium voltage specification, junction-to-lead thermal resistance (150 °C/W), and AEC−Q101 qualification for automotive use cases.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference diode, conducting in reverse breakdown when biased above its nominal 2.5 V Zener voltage at IZT = 20 mA. Its voltage regulation relies on controlled avalanche and Zener mechanisms, with temperature coefficient optimized for stability across −55°C to +150°C.
It is characterized under thermal equilibrium conditions (TL = 30°C ±1°C), with specified Zener impedance measured using 1 kHz AC signal at 0.1×DC test current. The SOD−123 package supports automated placement and provides Class 3 ESD robustness (>16 kV HBM).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|

| Power Dissipation (PD) | 500 mW on FR−5 board at TL = 75°C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling before thermal derating |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 1250 Ω max at IZT = 20 mA - determines output voltage variation under load current changes |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.25 μA max at VR = 100 V - ensures minimal standby current in high-impedance bias networks |
| Junction Temp Range | −55°C to +150°C - enables operation in under-hood automotive and industrial environments |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV) per HBM - supports robust handling during PCB assembly and field operation |
| AEC−Q101 Qualified | Yes - validates reliability for automotive electronics applications requiring PPAP documentation |
Pinout & Package
The SZMMSZ5222BT1G uses the SOD−123 surface-mount plastic package (Case 425, Style 1), measuring 1.60 × 2.69 × 1.16 mm, with cathode indicated by a polarity band. It is Pb−free and UL 94 V−0 rated.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMSZ5222BT1G | No AEC−Q101 qualification; same electrical specs and SOD−123 package | Intended for commercial/industrial use only - not approved for automotive PPAP | Select when automotive qualification is unnecessary and cost sensitivity is high |
| SZMMBZ5222BS | SOD−323 package (1.7 × 1.25 × 0.95 mm); same 2.5 V ±5%, but lower PD = 350 mW | Used where board area is more constrained than power margin - e.g., ultra-thin wearables | Select when footprint reduction outweighs need for 500 mW headroom |
Compared with MMSZ5222BT1G, SZMMSZ5222BT1G adds AEC−Q101 compliance for automotive deployment, while SZMMBZ5222BS trades power rating for smaller size - choice depends on qualification requirements and spatial constraints, not electrical equivalence.

FAQ
What is the nominal Zener voltage and tolerance of SZMMSZ5222BT1G?
The SZMMSZ5222BT1G has a nominal Zener voltage of 2.5 V with a ±5% tolerance, specified at IZT = 20 mA under thermal equilibrium conditions (TL = 30°C ±1°C). Its actual voltage range is 2.38 V to 2.63 V, making it suitable for applications requiring moderate precision without tight voltage drift budgets. This tolerance aligns with the "B" suffix designation in the MMSZ52xxxT1G family.
Is SZMMSZ5222BT1G qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SZMMSZ5222BT1G is AEC−Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, as confirmed in the official onsemi datasheet. The "SZ" prefix explicitly denotes automotive-grade variants meeting stringent reliability, traceability, and process control requirements. This makes SZMMSZ5222BT1G appropriate for engine control, body electronics, and ADAS subsystems where automotive qualification is mandatory.
What is the maximum power dissipation for SZMMSZ5222BT1G and how does it derate with temperature?
SZMMSZ5222BT1G is rated for 500 mW total power dissipation on FR−5 board at lead temperature (TL) = 75°C, derating linearly at 6.7 mW/°C above that point. Its junction-to-lead thermal resistance is 150 °C/W, meaning a 100 mW load raises the junction temperature ~15°C above lead temperature. This derating behavior ensures safe operation in thermally demanding environments like under-hood automotive locations.
What packaging and marking information applies to SZMMSZ5222BT1G?
SZMMSZ5222BT1G is supplied in Pb−free SOD−123 package (Case 425, Style 1), with tape-and-reel shipping (3,000 units/reel). Its marking code is "C2", visible on the cathode-banded side. The "G" suffix confirms RoHS compliance, and the device meets UL 94 V−0 flammability rating. Polarity is unambiguously indicated by the cathode band, critical for correct orientation during automated assembly.
How does the Zener impedance of SZMMSZ5222BT1G affect its regulation performance?
SZMMSZ5222BT1G has a maximum Zener impedance (ZZT) of 1250 Ω at IZT = 20 mA, measured with 1 kHz AC signal at 0.1×DC current. This value directly impacts output voltage stability: for a 1 mA load step, the resulting voltage shift is ≤1.25 V. Lower ZZT would improve regulation, but 1250 Ω is well-suited for medium-current references where precision is balanced against cost and size constraints in the SZMMSZ5222BT1G design.
