Product details
Overview
SZMMSZ5248ET1G from onsemi is a 18 V ±5% Zener voltage regulator diode in SOD-123 package, rated for 500 mW power dissipation at 75 °C on FR-5 board, with 7.0 mA test current (IZT), 21 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT), and 0.1 μA reverse leakage at 14 V (VR). It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in low-power analog and power supply feedback circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SZMMSZ5248ET1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, thermal derating behavior, junction-to-lead thermal resistance, and AEC-Q101 qualification status for automotive use.
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable voltage across its terminals under varying load and temperature conditions. Its 18 V nominal Zener voltage is specified at IZT = 7.0 mA and TL = 30 °C, with a temperature coefficient optimized for mid-range voltage regulation.
The SOD-123 package provides low thermal resistance (RJL = 150 °C/W) and supports automated placement, while the 225 W peak surge rating (8 × 20 μs pulse) enables transient suppression in compact DC systems without external protection components.
Key Specifications

| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 17.1–18.9 V @ IZT = 7.0 mA - defines regulated output range with ±5% tolerance |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 500 mW @ TL = 75 °C - sets maximum continuous power on standard FR-5 PCB |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 21 Ω @ IZT - determines voltage regulation stability under load variation |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.1 μA @ VR = 14 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in standby or sensing paths |
| Thermal Resistance (RJL) | 150 °C/W - enables predictable junction temperature rise during operation |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV HBM) - supports robust handling in automated assembly environments |
| Peak Surge Power | 225 W (8 × 20 μs) - allows single-event transient suppression without external TVS |
