Product details
Overview
SZMMSZ5232BT1 from onsemi is a 5.6 V ±5% Zener diode in SOD−123 package, rated for 500 mW power dissipation on FR−5 board at 75°C, with 11 Ω dynamic impedance at 20 mA test current and 0.25 µA leakage at 3 V reverse bias. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in low-power analog and digital supply regulation circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SZMMSZ5232BT1 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal derating behavior, AEC−Q101 qualification status, and direct alternatives for automotive and industrial voltage stabilization designs.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal silicon Zener regulator with cathode-anode polarity, designed for stable reverse-biased breakdown at nominal 5.6 V under thermal equilibrium (TL = 30°C ±1°C). Its 11 Ω Zener impedance at IZT = 20 mA and 1600 Ω at IZK = 0.25 mA supports tight regulation in feedback paths and reference nodes.
Thermal resistance is 340°C/W junction-to-ambient and 150°C/W junction-to-lead, enabling predictable power derating above 75°C ambient. The SOD−123 package meets UL 94 V−0 flammability rating and supports automated placement with Pb−free reflow compatibility up to 260°C for 10 seconds.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 5.32–5.88 V @ IZT = 20 mA - defines stable regulation range for 5 V system references |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 500 mW @ TL = 75°C - sets maximum continuous DC power before thermal derating begins |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 11 Ω @ IZT = 20 mA - ensures minimal output voltage variation under load transients |
| Leakage Current (IR) | 0.25 µA @ VR = 3 V - guarantees negligible standby current in battery-powered sensing nodes |
| Junction Temp Range | −55°C to +150°C - supports operation in under-hood automotive and industrial control environments |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV HBM) - provides robust handling during PCB assembly without external protection |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMSZ5232BT1G | Same Zener voltage (5.32–5.88 V), identical SOD−123 package, but lacks AEC−Q101 qualification and SZ-prefix automotive traceability | Not approved for automotive PPAP; suitable for commercial-grade consumer or industrial equipment | Select when automotive qualification is not required and cost optimization is prioritized |
| SZMMSZ5232CT1G | ±2% tolerance (5.488–5.712 V), same package and thermal specs, tighter regulation but higher unit cost | Better suited for precision feedback loops where ±5% introduces unacceptable error margin | Choose when reference stability dominates cost considerations, e.g., medical-grade instrumentation |
Compared with SZMMSZ5232BT1, MMSZ5232BT1G offers identical electrical performance without automotive compliance overhead, while SZMMSZ5232CT1G trades wider tolerance for improved accuracy-enabling selection based on end-equipment qualification tier and voltage budget constraints.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for SZMMSZ5232BT1?
The SZMMSZ5232BT1 has a ±5% tolerance on its nominal 5.6 V Zener voltage, resulting in a guaranteed range of 5.32 V to 5.88 V at IZT = 20 mA and thermal equilibrium conditions (TL = 30°C ±1°C). This tolerance aligns with general-purpose regulation needs in automotive and industrial systems where tighter accuracy is not required.
Is SZMMSZ5232BT1 qualified for automotive use?
Yes, SZMMSZ5232BT1 is AEC−Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, with the "SZ" prefix indicating automotive-specific site controls, change management, and traceability. It meets all stress tests including temperature cycling, humidity bias, and mechanical shock required for under-hood and chassis-mounted electronics.
What is the maximum power dissipation of SZMMSZ5232BT1 on FR−5 board?
SZMMSZ5232BT1 is rated for 500 mW total power dissipation on FR−5 board at lead temperature (TL) = 75°C, with linear derating of 6.7 mW/°C above that temperature. This value assumes minimum recommended footprint per datasheet Figure 3 and accounts for thermal resistance of 340°C/W junction-to-ambient.
Does SZMMSZ5232BT1 have Pb−free construction?
Yes, SZMMSZ5232BT1 is Pb−free and complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. Its SOD−123 package uses lead-free solder terminations compatible with standard reflow profiles, including peak temperatures up to 260°C for 10 seconds as specified in the datasheet.
What is the Zener impedance of SZMMSZ5232BT1 at 20 mA test current?
The dynamic Zener impedance (ZZT) of SZMMSZ5232BT1 is 11 Ω at IZT = 20 mA, measured with 1 kHz AC signal at 0.1× DC current. This low impedance ensures minimal output voltage deviation during load transients in feedback networks and reference circuits.
