Product details
Overview
SZMMSZ5252ET1G from onsemi is a 24 V ±5% Zener diode in SOD-123 package, rated for 500 mW power dissipation at 75 °C on FR-5 board, with 5.2 mA test current (IZT), 33 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT), and 0.1 µA reverse leakage at 18 V (VR). It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in low-power analog and power management circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SZMMSZ5252ET1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, thermal derating behavior, junction-to-lead thermal resistance (150 °C/W), ESD robustness (Class 3, >16 kV HBM), and automotive qualification per AEC-Q101.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal, silicon planar Zener diode optimized for stable reverse-biased regulation. Its 24 V nominal Zener voltage is specified at IZT = 5.2 mA with ±5% tolerance, and it maintains regulation down to IZK = 0.25 mA where ZZK ≤ 600 Ω.
Designed for surface-mount assembly on FR-4/FR-5 PCBs, it features a cathode-band polarity indicator, UL 94 V-0 flammability rating, and Pb-free construction. Junction temperature range spans −55 °C to +150 °C, with peak surge capability of 225 W (8 × 20 µs pulse).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 22.8 V min / 24 V nom / 25.2 V max @ IZT = 5.2 mA - defines regulated output voltage window under standard test conditions |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 500 mW @ TL = 75 °C on FR-5 board - sets maximum continuous DC power handling before thermal derating begins |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 33 Ω max @ IZT = 5.2 mA - indicates voltage regulation stability under small-signal AC load variations |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.1 µA max @ VR = 18 V - ensures minimal standby current in clamping or reference applications |
| Thermal Resistance (RJL) | 150 °C/W junction-to-lead - enables accurate thermal modeling when mounted on copper pads with defined lead geometry |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV) per Human Body Model - supports robust handling in automated assembly without external protection |
| Operating Temperature | −55 °C to +150 °C - validated for under-hood automotive, industrial control, and extended-environment use |
Pinout & Package

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMSZ5252ET1G | No SZ prefix; not AEC-Q101 qualified; same electrical specs and SOD-123 package | Intended for commercial/industrial use only; lacks automotive change control and PPAP documentation | Select when automotive qualification is unnecessary and cost sensitivity is higher |
| BZX84-C24LT1G | 24 V ±5%, 350 mW rating, SOT-23 package, 80 Ω ZZT @ 5 mA - lower power and higher impedance | Used in space-constrained portable electronics; less suitable for sustained 24 V regulation under load | Choose only for low-power, low-cost consumer applications where thermal margin is ample |
Compared with MMSZ5252ET1G and BZX84-C24LT1G, SZMMSZ5252ET1G uniquely combines automotive qualification, 500 mW power handling, and 33 Ω low-impedance regulation-making it the preferred choice for mission-critical 24 V reference and clamp functions in harsh environments.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SZMMSZ5252ET1G?
SZMMSZ5252ET1G has a nominal Zener voltage of 24 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%, resulting in a guaranteed range of 22.8 V to 25.2 V when measured at IZT = 5.2 mA and TL = 30 °C ±1 °C. This tolerance is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 2 of the official onsemi datasheet.
Is SZMMSZ5252ET1G suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SZMMSZ5252ET1G is AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, with the "SZ" prefix indicating compliance for automotive and other applications requiring unique site and control change requirements. Its operating temperature range (−55 °C to +150 °C) and robust ESD rating (>16 kV HBM) further support under-hood and chassis-mounted use.
What is the maximum power dissipation for SZMMSZ5252ET1G on a standard PCB?
SZMMSZ5252ET1G is rated for 500 mW total power dissipation on an FR-5 board at TL = 75 °C, with linear derating of 6.7 mW/°C above that temperature. This rating assumes the minimum recommended footprint per onsemi's packaging specification and is validated per JEDEC standards.
How does the dynamic impedance of SZMMSZ5252ET1G affect voltage regulation accuracy?
SZMMSZ5252ET1G exhibits a maximum dynamic impedance (ZZT) of 33 Ω at IZT = 5.2 mA, meaning a 1 mA change in Zener current causes ≤33 mV shift in regulated voltage. This low impedance ensures tight regulation in feedback loops and reference circuits where load-induced current variation must be minimized.
What package type and marking does SZMMSZ5252ET1G use?
SZMMSZ5252ET1G uses the SOD-123 surface-mount package (1.60 × 2.69 × 1.16 mm) with cathode indicated by a band. Its marking code is "CD5", followed by a date code and Pb-free indicator ("G" or microdot), as shown in the Device Marking Information section of the onsemi datasheet.
