Product details
Overview
SZMMSZ5241BT1G from onsemi is a 500 mW, ±5% tolerance Zener diode in SOD−123 package with nominal reverse breakdown voltage of 11.0 V at 20 mA test current, 600 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, and 2 µA maximum leakage current at 8.4 V reverse bias - used for precision voltage regulation and reference in low-power analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SZMMSZ5241BT1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, thermal equilibrium performance, junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (340 °C/W), and AEC−Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference diode, conducting in reverse bias above its specified Zener voltage (10.45–11.55 V) with stable regulation under thermal equilibrium conditions (TL = 30°C ±1°C). It exhibits a positive temperature coefficient near 11 V, typical of mid-voltage Zeners in this series.
Designed for surface-mount assembly on FR−4/FR−5 PCBs, it delivers 500 mW power dissipation at TL = 75°C with linear derating (6.7 mW/°C above 75°C) and supports ESD robustness >16 kV per HBM Class 3 - critical for production environments requiring high-reliability passive protection and biasing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 10.45–11.55 V @ IZT = 20 mA - defines precise clamping threshold for overvoltage protection or reference generation |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 500 mW on FR−5 board @ TL = 75°C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling without thermal runaway |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 600 Ω @ IZT = 20 mA - determines output voltage stability under load transients |
| Leakage Current (IR) | 2 µA max @ VR = 8.4 V - ensures minimal standby current in battery-powered bias networks |
| Thermal Resistance (RJA) | 340 °C/W - quantifies junction-to-ambient heat transfer efficiency on standard PCB layout |
| Junction Temp Range | −55°C to +150°C - enables operation in automotive engine compartments and industrial control enclosures |

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 500 mW Power Rating | Enables stable voltage reference in space-constrained, medium-current applications without external heatsinking |
| ±5% Zener Tolerance | Supports cost-sensitive designs where tighter tolerance is unnecessary, balancing accuracy and BOM cost |

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SZMMSZ5241BT1G?
SZMMSZ5241BT1G has a ±5% tolerance on its nominal Zener voltage of 11.0 V, meaning the actual measured VZ falls between 10.45 V and 11.55 V at IZT = 20 mA under thermal equilibrium conditions. This tolerance is confirmed in the "5% TOLERANCE FG ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS" table on page 3 of the official onsemi datasheet.
Is SZMMSZ5241BT1G qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SZMMSZ5241BT1G is AEC−Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, as explicitly stated in the Features section of the onsemi datasheet. The "SZ" prefix denotes automotive and other applications requiring unique site and control change requirements - making SZMMSZ5241BT1G suitable for engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS subsystems.
What is the maximum leakage current for SZMMSZ5241BT1G and at what voltage is it specified?
The maximum reverse leakage current for SZMMSZ5241BT1G is 2 µA, specified at a reverse voltage (VR) of 8.4 V. This value is listed in the "5% TOLERANCE FG ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS" table on page 3 and reflects worst-case off-state conduction relevant for low-power bias networks.
What package type does SZMMSZ5241BT1G use and what are its key mechanical dimensions?
SZMMSZ5241BT1G uses the SOD−123 surface-mount package (Case 425, Style 1), measuring 1.60 mm × 2.69 mm × 1.16 mm. Its cathode is marked by a polarity band, and it is rated for 260°C soldering for 10 seconds - details confirmed in the Mechanical Characteristics and Package Dimensions sections of the onsemi datasheet.
How does the thermal derating of SZMMSZ5241BT1G work above 75°C?
SZMMSZ5241BT1G is rated for 500 mW power dissipation at lead temperature (TL) = 75°C, with linear derating of 6.7 mW/°C above that point. This means at TL = 100°C, maximum allowable power drops to 332.5 mW - a critical parameter for thermal design in enclosed automotive or industrial enclosures.
