Product details
Overview
SZMMSZ5257BT1G from onsemi is a 33 V ±5% Zener diode in SOD−123 package, rated for 500 mW power dissipation at TL = 75°C with 700 Ω maximum dynamic impedance at 3.8 mA test current, used for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in low-power analog circuits, power supply feedback loops, and reference voltage generation.
For engineers reviewing the SZMMSZ5257BT1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include nominal Zener voltage (33 V), tolerance (±5%), thermal equilibrium Zener test condition (TL = 30°C), junction-to-lead thermal resistance (150 °C/W), and AEC−Q101 qualification for automotive use.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal reverse-biased voltage reference, maintaining stable output voltage across a defined Zener current range (IZK = 0.25 mA to IZT = 3.8 mA). Its performance is specified under thermal equilibrium conditions at TL = 30°C, ensuring repeatable voltage accuracy independent of transient thermal gradients.
The SOD−123 package enables automated surface-mount assembly with cathode polarity indicated by a band, and its Pb−free construction complies with RoHS. ESD robustness exceeds 16 kV per Human Body Model, supporting handling in standard manufacturing environments without special precautions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 31.35 V min / 33 V nom / 34.65 V max @ IZT = 3.8 mA - defines regulated output voltage window under thermal equilibrium |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 500 mW on FR−5 board @ TL = 75°C - sets maximum continuous power handling before thermal derating |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 700 Ω max @ IZT = 3.8 mA - determines output voltage stability under load current variation |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.1 μA max @ VR = 25 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in standby or high-impedance bias networks |
| Junction Temp Range | −55°C to +150°C - supports operation in automotive under-hood and industrial control environments |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV HBM) - eliminates need for external ESD protection in most PCB-level implementations |
Pinout & Package
SOD−123 surface-mount plastic package (1.60 × 2.69 × 1.16 mm), void-free thermosetting case with corrosion-resistant finish, cathode identified by polarity band.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Banded End) | Cathode | Connected to regulated output node; reverse-bias voltage applied between cathode and anode to activate Zener conduction |
| 2 (Non-banded End) | Anode | Connected to circuit ground or lower-potential reference; completes current path during regulation |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMSZ5257BT1G | No AEC−Q101 qualification; identical electrical specs and SOD−123 package | Not approved for automotive production; suitable for industrial or consumer-grade designs | Select when automotive PPAP documentation and site-controlled change management are not required |
| BZX84-C33 | Higher ZZT (90 Ω typical vs. 700 Ω max); ±5% tolerance; SOT−23 package | Lower power rating (300 mW); less thermal mass; faster transient response | Select when board space permits SOT−23 and lower dynamic impedance is prioritized over automotive compliance |
Compared with MMSZ5257BT1G and BZX84-C33, SZMMSZ5257BT1G uniquely combines AEC−Q101 qualification, 500 mW power handling, and thermal-equilibrium voltage specification-making it the only choice for automotive applications requiring traceable 33 V reference stability under extended temperature cycling.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for SZMMSZ5257BT1G?
The SZMMSZ5257BT1G has a ±5% tolerance on its nominal Zener voltage of 33 V, meaning the actual measured voltage falls between 31.35 V and 34.65 V when tested under thermal equilibrium conditions at TL = 30°C ±1°C, as specified in the onsemi datasheet revision 17.
Is SZMMSZ5257BT1G qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SZMMSZ5257BT1G is AEC−Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, with manufacturing controlled at an automotive-certified site. The "SZ" prefix explicitly denotes compliance with automotive change control requirements, making SZMMSZ5257BT1G suitable for engine control units, ADAS sensors, and other safety-critical vehicle subsystems.
What is the maximum power dissipation for SZMMSZ5257BT1G on FR−5 board?
SZMMSZ5257BT1G 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. This rating assumes use of the minimum recommended footprint per onsemi's mechanical drawings.
How does the thermal equilibrium test condition affect SZMMSZ5257BT1G voltage accuracy?
The Zener voltage of SZMMSZ5257BT1G is specified with the device junction in thermal equilibrium at TL = 30°C ±1°C, ensuring measurement repeatability and eliminating thermal gradient errors. This allows designers to achieve predictable 33 V regulation without iterative thermal modeling in stable ambient conditions.
What is the cathode identification method for SZMMSZ5257BT1G?
The cathode of SZMMSZ5257BT1G is identified by a polarity band printed on the SOD−123 package body at terminal 1, consistent with JEDEC standard marking for surface-mount diodes. This band must be oriented toward the higher-potential node in reverse-bias configuration to enable proper Zener conduction.
