Product details
Overview
SZMMSZ5257ET1G from onsemi is a 33 V ±5% Zener diode in SOD-123 package, rated for 500 mW power dissipation at 75 °C on FR-5 board, with 700 Ω maximum dynamic impedance at 3.8 mA test current and 0.1 µA reverse leakage at 25 V, used for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in power supply feedback loops.
For engineers reviewing the SZMMSZ5257ET1G 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 automotive-grade reliability validation.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal silicon Zener diode optimized for stable reverse-bias voltage reference and transient suppression. Its 33 V nominal Zener voltage is specified at 3.8 mA test current (IZT), with temperature coefficient near zero crossing in the 30–40 V range per typical characterization data.
It features Class 3 ESD robustness (>16 kV HBM), 225 W nonrepetitive surge capability (8 × 20 µs pulse), and junction-to-lead thermal resistance of 150 °C/W - enabling reliable operation under pulsed load conditions and moderate ambient temperatures without heatsinking.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Nominal Zener Voltage | 33 V ±5% at IZT = 3.8 mA - defines precise clamping threshold for feedback or protection circuits |
| Maximum Dynamic Impedance | 700 Ω at IZT = 3.8 mA - determines voltage regulation stability under varying load current |
| Reverse Leakage Current | 0.1 µA max at VR = 25 V - ensures minimal standby power loss in high-impedance bias networks |
| Power Dissipation | 500 mW at TL = 75 °C, derated 6.7 mW/°C above - sets usable thermal envelope on standard PCBs |
| Junction-to-Lead Thermal Resistance | 150 °C/W - supports localized heat transfer to PCB copper, critical for pulse handling |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV) per HBM - qualifies for handling in uncontrolled assembly environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMSZ5257ET1G | 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 AEC-Q101 compliance is not required and cost sensitivity outweighs qualification overhead |
| BZX84-C33LT1G | 33 V ±5%, 350 mW rating, SOT-23 package, 60 Ω Zzt @ 5 mA - lower power, lower impedance, different footprint | Used in space-constrained portable electronics; requires PCB redesign due to 3-pin SOT-23 vs. 2-pin SOD-123 | Select when lower dynamic impedance and smaller board area are prioritized over surge robustness and automotive qualification |
Compared with MMSZ5257ET1G and BZX84-C33LT1G, SZMMSZ5257ET1G uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, 500 mW continuous power, and 225 W surge capability in the compact SOD-123 form factor - making it the only option qualified for automotive power rail protection without layout changes.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for SZMMSZ5257ET1G?
The SZMMSZ5257ET1G has a nominal Zener voltage of 33 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%, meaning the actual measured voltage falls between 31.35 V and 34.65 V when tested at 3.8 mA (IZT) and thermal equilibrium at 30 °C. This tolerance is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range and is verified per AEC-Q101 stress testing protocols for the SZ-prefix variant.
Is SZMMSZ5257ET1G suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SZMMSZ5257ET1G is AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, with manufacturing traceability and change control specific to automotive requirements. Its −55 °C to +150 °C operating range, 225 W surge rating, and Class 3 ESD robustness make it suitable for engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS power domains where reliability under thermal and electrical stress is mandatory.
What is the maximum power dissipation of SZMMSZ5257ET1G on a standard PCB?
SZMMSZ5257ET1G delivers 500 mW total power dissipation on FR-5 board at lead temperature (TL) of 75 °C, derating linearly at 6.7 mW/°C above that point. At 25 °C ambient, practical dissipation is limited by junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (340 °C/W); full 500 mW is achievable only with adequate copper pour and thermal vias to maintain TL ≤ 75 °C.
How does the dynamic impedance of SZMMSZ5257ET1G affect voltage regulation accuracy?
The SZMMSZ5257ET1G has a maximum dynamic impedance (ZZT) of 700 Ω at 3.8 mA test current. This value directly impacts regulation accuracy: for every 1 mA change in Zener current, output voltage shifts up to 0.7 V. In feedback applications, this necessitates stable bias current design and may require additional filtering to suppress ripple-induced variation in regulated output.
What packaging and marking identify SZMMSZ5257ET1G on the SOD-123 body?
SZMMSZ5257ET1G uses the SOD-123 package with cathode indicated by a band at Pin 1. The device marking is "CE1", followed by a date code and Pb-free indicator (microdot or "G"). This marking aligns with onsemi's generic SOD-123 marking diagram and distinguishes it from commercial MMSZ5257ET1G (same "CE1" marking but no SZ prefix in ordering code).
