Product details
Overview
SZMMSZ5253ET1G from onsemi is a 25 V ±5% Zener diode in SOD-123 package, rated for 500 mW power dissipation at 75 °C on FR-5 board, with 35 Ω maximum dynamic impedance at 5.0 mA test current and 0.1 µA reverse leakage at 19 V, used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in automotive power management circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SZMMSZ5253ET1G 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 under-hood electronics.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference diode, conducting in reverse breakdown to maintain stable voltage across its terminals when biased above VZ. Its 25 V nominal Zener voltage is specified at IZT = 5.0 mA with ±5% tolerance, and it exhibits a positive temperature coefficient above ~5 V, typical for mid-voltage Zeners.
The SOD-123 package provides low thermal resistance (RJL = 150 °C/W), enabling reliable operation up to +150 °C junction temperature. It supports automated placement and meets Class 3 ESD rating (>16 kV HBM), making it suitable for high-reliability automotive PCBs where space and robustness are constrained.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 23.75–26.25 V at IZT = 5.0 mA; ensures stable reference within ±5% tolerance for 12–24 V system monitoring. |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 500 mW at TL = 75 °C; requires thermal derating above 75 °C at 6.7 mW/°C for safe continuous operation. |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | ≤600 Ω at IZT = 5.0 mA; limits output voltage variation under load transients in feedback networks. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤0.1 µA at VR = 19 V; minimizes quiescent current in battery-backed or low-power sensing circuits. |
| Peak Surge Power (Ppk) | 225 W for 8 × 20 µs pulse; withstands common automotive load-dump and ISO 7637-2 transient events. |
| Junction Temp Range | −55 °C to +150 °C; qualified per AEC-Q101 for under-hood engine control and body electronics. |
Pinout & Package
SOD-123 surface-mount package: 1.60 mm × 2.69 mm × 1.16 mm, void-free thermosetting plastic case with cathode band marking; designed for high-density automated assembly and reflow soldering at 260 °C for 10 seconds.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Banded End) | Cathode | Connected to higher-potential node in reverse-bias configuration; polarity band identifies terminal for correct orientation during placement. |
| 2 (Non-banded End) | Anode | Connected to lower-potential node (e.g., ground or return path); completes reverse-biased conduction path for voltage regulation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Validated for automotive applications including engine control units and ADAS power supplies requiring PPAP documentation. |
| ESD Robustness | Class 3 HBM (>16 kV) enables handling without special ESD controls during manufacturing and field service. |
| Thermal Performance | RJL = 150 °C/W allows efficient heat transfer to PCB copper, supporting sustained operation near max ambient temperature. |
| Pb-Free Construction | RoHS-compliant SOD-123 package with corrosion-resistant finish, compatible with lead-free reflow profiles. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMSZ5253ET1G | No SZ prefix; not AEC-Q101 qualified; identical 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 nominal, ±5% tolerance; 350 mW rating; SOT-23 package; higher ZZT (≤90 Ω @ 5 mA). | Lower power handling and different footprint; suited for space-constrained consumer PCBs, not under-hood environments. | Choose only if 24 V nominal matches design target and thermal margin permits reduced PD. |
Compared with MMSZ5253ET1G and BZX84-C24LT1G, SZMMSZ5253ET1G uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, 500 mW power rating, and 25 V ±5% Zener voltage in SOD-123 - making it the sole option for automotive-grade 24 V system protection where traceable compliance and thermal resilience are mandatory.
