Product details
Overview
SZMMSZ56T1G from onsemi is a 56 V ±5% Zener voltage regulator diode in SOD−123 package, rated for 500 mW power dissipation at 75°C ambient, with 200 Ω dynamic impedance at 2 mA test current and 0.05 μA reverse leakage at 39.2 V, used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in automotive power management circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SZMMSZ56T1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified electrical specs, thermal derating behavior, AEC−Q101 qualification status, and direct alternatives for automotive-grade voltage clamping and regulation design.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal silicon Zener diode optimized for stable reverse-bias breakdown at nominal 56 V with ±5% tolerance. It exhibits a positive temperature coefficient above ~5 V, typical for higher-voltage Zeners, and maintains low leakage (≤0.05 μA) up to 39.2 V reverse bias.
Designed for surface-mount assembly on FR−5 boards, it supports automated placement and reflow soldering at 260°C for 10 seconds. Its 150 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance enables effective heat transfer in compact layouts where board-level conduction dominates cooling.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMSZ56T1G | No SZ prefix; commercial-grade qualification, no AEC−Q101 or PPAP support | Acceptable for non-automotive industrial or consumer designs with relaxed reliability requirements | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive traceability and extended temperature validation |
| BZX84-C56LT1G | Same 56 V nominal Zener, but 350 mW rating and 400 Ω ZZT; SOT−23 package (larger footprint) | Lower power handling limits surge immunity in high-energy transients; requires PCB layout revision | Choose only if existing SOT−23 footprint must be reused and 500 mW derating is acceptable |
Compared with MMSZ56T1G and BZX84-C56LT1G, SZMMSZ56T1G uniquely combines AEC−Q101 qualification, 500 mW SOD−123 power density, and ≤0.05 μA leakage-making it the sole option for automotive-grade 56 V clamping where board area, reliability, and regulatory compliance are jointly constrained.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SZMMSZ56T1G?
SZMMSZ56T1G has a nominal Zener voltage of 56 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%, resulting in a guaranteed range of 53.2 V to 58.8 V at IZT = 2 mA and TA = 25°C. This tolerance is specified per the onsemi datasheet Rev. 13 and applies across the full operating temperature range of −55°C to +150°C. The SZMMSZ56T1G's tight tolerance supports accurate voltage clamping in safety-critical automotive subsystems.
Is SZMMSZ56T1G qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SZMMSZ56T1G is AEC−Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, with full traceability via its SZ prefix indicating dedicated automotive process controls and site-specific change management. It meets rigorous stress testing for temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical shock required for under-hood and chassis-mounted electronics. The SZMMSZ56T1G's qualification documentation is available through onsemi's official automotive support portal.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for SZMMSZ56T1G?
The maximum reverse leakage current for SZMMSZ56T1G is 0.05 μA at VR = 39.2 V and TA = 25°C, as confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the onsemi datasheet. This ultra-low leakage ensures minimal power loss in always-on automotive modules and preserves battery life in sleep-mode operation. The SZMMSZ56T1G maintains this specification across its full storage temperature range.
Can SZMMSZ56T1G be used in place of MMSZ56T1G?
SZMMSZ56T1G and MMSZ56T1G share identical electrical specifications including Zener voltage, impedance, and thermal ratings-but SZMMSZ56T1G adds AEC−Q101 qualification, PPAP capability, and enhanced traceability for automotive use. While electrically interchangeable, SZMMSZ56T1G is not a drop-in replacement for MMSZ56T1G in non-automotive contexts unless automotive compliance is explicitly required. The SZMMSZ56T1G's SZ prefix signals stricter process controls and documentation rigor.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to lead for SZMMSZ56T1G?
The thermal resistance from junction to lead (RJL) for SZMMSZ56T1G is 150 °C/W, measured using the infrared scan method per Note 2 in the Maximum Ratings table. This value reflects efficient heat conduction from the die to the PCB copper via the SOD−123 leads, enabling reliable operation at elevated ambient temperatures when mounted on FR−5 board. The SZMMSZ56T1G's RJL supports thermal design margins in compact automotive modules.
