Product details
Overview
SZMMSZ5243BT1G from onsemi is a 13 V ±5% Zener diode in SOD−123 package, rated for 500 mW power dissipation at TL = 75°C, with 9.5 mA test current (IZT), 13 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT), and 0.5 μA reverse leakage at 9.9 V (VR). It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in low-power analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SZMMSZ5243BT1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, thermal equilibrium operation, SOD−123 footprint compatibility, and AEC−Q101 qualification for automotive use.
Technical Context
This device operates under thermal equilibrium conditions at TL = 30°C ±1°C for nominal Zener voltage measurement, ensuring stable regulation across temperature. Its 13 V nominal Zener voltage exhibits a positive temperature coefficient typical of mid-voltage Zeners in this series.
The SOD−123 package enables automated surface-mount assembly with 260°C soldering tolerance and UL 94 V−0 flammability rating. Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is 340°C/W, limiting continuous power handling without board-level thermal management.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 12.35–13.65 V @ IZT = 9.5 mA - defines regulated output voltage range under specified test conditions |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 500 mW on FR−5 board @ TL = 75°C - maximum steady-state power before thermal derating applies |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 13 Ω @ IZT = 9.5 mA - indicates regulation stiffness; lower value improves load regulation |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.5 μA @ VR = 9.9 V - determines quiescent current draw in standby clamping applications |
| Package | SOD−123 (1.60 × 2.69 × 1.16 mm) - compact surface-mount footprint compatible with high-density PCB layouts |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV HBM) - supports robust handling in automated manufacturing environments |
| AEC−Q101 Qualified | Yes - validated for automotive electronics per stress testing requirements |
Pinout & Package
SOD−123 package with cathode indicated by polarity band; 2-terminal construction optimized for automated placement and reflow soldering.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Cathode) | Zener anode connection point | Connected to regulated voltage node; polarity band identifies this terminal for correct orientation |
| 2 (Anode) | Zener cathode connection point | Typically tied to ground or lower potential; reverse-biased operation requires this terminal at lower voltage than cathode |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMSZ5243BT1G | No AEC−Q101 qualification; identical electrical specs and SOD−123 package | Not suitable for automotive production; acceptable for industrial prototypes | Select when automotive qualification is not required and cost optimization is prioritized |
| BZX84-C13 | Same 13 V nominal Zener, ±5% tolerance, but in SOT−23 package with higher ZZT (30 Ω) | Larger footprint and lower regulation stiffness limit use in precision references | Choose only if SOT−23 layout already exists and 13 Ω ZZT is not critical |
Compared with MMSZ5243BT1G and BZX84-C13, SZMMSZ5243BT1G uniquely combines AEC−Q101 qualification, 13 Ω dynamic impedance, and SOD−123 compactness-making it the preferred choice for automotive and high-reliability industrial voltage reference designs where thermal equilibrium operation is required.

FAQ
What is the nominal Zener voltage and tolerance of SZMMSZ5243BT1G?
The nominal Zener voltage of SZMMSZ5243BT1G is 13 V with a ±5% tolerance, meaning the actual measured voltage falls between 12.35 V and 13.65 V when tested at IZT = 9.5 mA and device junction in thermal equilibrium at TL = 30°C ±1°C. This specification is confirmed in the onsemi datasheet revision 17, page 3.
Is SZMMSZ5243BT1G qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SZMMSZ5243BT1G is AEC−Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, as explicitly stated in the onsemi datasheet features section. The "SZ" prefix denotes automotive-grade screening and process controls, making SZMMSZ5243BT1G suitable for under-hood and cabin electronics where reliability under thermal cycling and vibration is critical.
What is the maximum power dissipation for SZMMSZ5243BT1G and under what conditions?
SZMMSZ5243BT1G has a maximum power dissipation of 500 mW on FR−5 board at TL = 75°C, derating linearly at 6.7 mW/°C above that temperature. This rating assumes thermal equilibrium conditions and is defined in the Maximum Ratings table on page 1 of the onsemi datasheet.
What package type does SZMMSZ5243BT1G use and what are its key mechanical attributes?
SZMMSZ5243BT1G uses the SOD−123 surface-mount package (Case 425, Style 1), measuring 1.60 × 2.69 × 1.16 mm. It features a void-free thermosetting plastic case, corrosion-resistant finish, UL 94 V−0 flammability rating, and 260°C/10-second soldering tolerance-details confirmed in the Mechanical Characteristics section of the onsemi datasheet.
How does the Zener impedance of SZMMSZ5243BT1G affect its regulation performance?
SZMMSZ5243BT1G has a maximum Zener impedance (ZZT) of 13 Ω at IZT = 9.5 mA, which directly impacts load regulation: lower impedance yields smaller output voltage variation under changing load current. This value is measured using 1 kHz AC signal at 10% of DC test current, per note 5 on page 3 of the onsemi datasheet.
