Product details
Overview
SZMMSZ5252ET3G 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 leakage current at 18 V reverse bias - used for voltage regulation and reference in low-power analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SZMMSZ5252ET3G 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 (>16 kV HBM), and SOD-123 footprint compatibility in space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference diode, conducting in reverse breakdown to maintain stable voltage across its terminals under varying load or supply conditions. It exhibits a nominal temperature coefficient near +0.095 %/°C for the 24 V variant, with steady-state power derating beginning above 75 °C ambient.
The SOD-123 package enables automated placement and reflow soldering, with cathode polarity marked by a band. Its 150 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance supports localized heat transfer to PCB copper, while peak surge capability reaches 225 W for 8 × 20 µs pulses.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMSZ5252ET1G | No AEC-Q101 qualification; identical electrical specs and SOD-123 package | Not approved for automotive use; suitable for commercial-grade power supplies and consumer electronics | Select when automotive qualification is unnecessary and cost sensitivity is higher |
| BZX84-C24LT1G | 24 V ±5%, 300 mW rating, SOT-23 package, 60 Ω ZZT, 100 nA leakage @ 18 V | Lower power rating and higher impedance limit use in precision references or high-current clamping | Select when board space permits SOT-23 and thermal budget allows reduced power handling |
Compared with MMSZ5252ET1G, SZMMSZ5252ET3G adds AEC-Q101 compliance and PPAP capability for automotive systems, while BZX84-C24LT1G trades power and impedance performance for smaller footprint - choice depends on qualification requirements, thermal constraints, and layout density.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for SZMMSZ5252ET3G?
The SZMMSZ5252ET3G 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 thermal equilibrium at 30 °C. This tolerance is specified per onsemi's datasheet revision 10 and applies across the full operating temperature range of −55 °C to +150 °C.
Is SZMMSZ5252ET3G suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SZMMSZ5252ET3G is AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, making it suitable for automotive applications including engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS sensor interfaces. The "SZ" prefix explicitly denotes compliance with automotive-specific site and process controls, and its 16 kV HBM ESD rating exceeds typical automotive ESD requirements.
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation for SZMMSZ5252ET3G?
SZMMSZ5252ET3G 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. Its junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is 340 °C/W, and junction-to-lead is 150 °C/W - both critical for thermal design in enclosed or high-ambient environments.
How does the SOD-123 package affect PCB layout for SZMMSZ5252ET3G?
The SOD-123 package (1.60 × 2.69 × 1.16 mm) requires a standardized footprint matching onsemi's CASE 425 outline, with cathode identified by a band. Its small size supports high-density routing, but thermal relief to copper pour must be optimized using the recommended minimum footprint (3.5 × 1.5 inches FR-5 board) to sustain 500 mW operation without exceeding TJ limits.
What is the leakage current specification for SZMMSZ5252ET3G at 18 V reverse bias?
SZMMSZ5252ET3G specifies a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 0.1 µA at VR = 18 V and TA = 25 °C. This low leakage ensures minimal loading error in high-impedance reference or bias networks, such as those used with precision op-amps or temperature sensors, and remains stable across the full −55 °C to +150 °C operating range.
