Product details
Overview
SZMMSZ5254ET1G from onsemi is a 27 V ±5% Zener diode in SOD-123 package, rated for 500 mW power dissipation at 75 °C on FR-5 board, with 4.6 mA test current (IZT), 41 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT), and 0.1 µA leakage current at 21 V reverse bias - used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in low-power analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SZMMSZ5254ET1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, thermal derating behavior, junction-to-lead thermal resistance, ESD robustness (Class 3, >16 kV HBM), and SOD-123 footprint compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal silicon Zener diode optimized for stable reverse-bias voltage regulation. It exhibits a nominal Zener voltage of 27 V with ±5% tolerance, measured at IZT = 4.6 mA under thermal equilibrium at TL = 30 °C ±1 °C.
Its electrical behavior is characterized by low dynamic impedance (ZZT = 41 Ω at IZT), tight leakage control (IR ≤ 0.1 µA at VR = 21 V), and a temperature coefficient near zero crossing in the 24–28 V range - enabling stable reference performance across −55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SZMMSZ5254ET1G?
SZMMSZ5254ET1G has a nominal Zener voltage of 27 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%, resulting in a guaranteed range of 25.65 V to 28.35 V at IZT = 4.6 mA and thermal equilibrium at TL = 30 °C ±1 °C. This tolerance is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the official onsemi datasheet.
Is SZMMSZ5254ET1G suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SZMMSZ5254ET1G is AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, with an SZ prefix indicating compliance for automotive and other applications requiring unique site and control change requirements. Its −55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range and 225 W surge rating support under-hood and cabin control module deployment.
What is the maximum power dissipation for SZMMSZ5254ET1G on a standard PCB?
SZMMSZ5254ET1G delivers 500 mW total power dissipation on FR-5 board at TL = 75 °C, derating linearly at 6.7 mW/°C above that temperature. This rating assumes the minimum recommended footprint (3.5 × 1.5 inches) and is specified in the Maximum Ratings table on page 1 of the datasheet.
How does the Zener impedance of SZMMSZ5254ET1G affect regulation performance?
SZMMSZ5254ET1G has a maximum Zener impedance (ZZT) of 41 Ω at IZT = 4.6 mA, directly determining its ability to maintain stable output voltage under varying load currents. Lower ZZT minimizes voltage deviation during transients - critical for precision reference and feedback loop stability in power supplies and sensor interfaces.
What packaging and marking information applies to SZMMSZ5254ET1G?
SZMMSZ5254ET1G uses the SOD-123 package (Case 425, Style 1), marked "CD7" on the cathode-banded end, with Pb-free construction and date code "M". The cathode is identified by a polarity band; mechanical dimensions are 1.60 × 2.69 × 1.16 mm, per the outline drawing on page 7 of the datasheet.
