Product details
Overview
SZMMSZ6V8T1G from onsemi is a 6.8 V ±5% Zener diode in SOD−123 package, rated for 500 mW power dissipation at 75°C, with 15 Ω dynamic impedance at 5 mA and 2 μA reverse leakage at 5.6 V, used for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in automotive power rails and low-power sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SZMMSZ6V8T1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, thermal derating behavior, HBM ESD rating (>16 kV), AEC−Q101 qualification status, and SOD−123 board assembly compatibility.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference diode, conducting in reverse breakdown to clamp voltage at its nominal Zener voltage (6.8 V) with tight ±5% tolerance. It exhibits low dynamic impedance (15 Ω @ 5 mA) and stable temperature coefficient near zero (≈0.2 mV/°C per Figure 1), enabling accurate regulation across −55°C to +150°C.
Designed for surface-mount use on FR−4/FR−5 boards, it supports automated placement and reflow soldering up to 260°C for 10 seconds. Its cathode-anode polarity is marked by a band, and it meets UL 94 V−0 flammability and AEC−Q101 automotive reliability standards.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 6.46–7.14 V @ IZT = 5 mA; ensures stable 6.8 V regulation within ±5% tolerance under nominal bias. |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 500 mW @ TL = 75°C; derates linearly at 6.7 mW/°C above 75°C - defines maximum continuous power in PCB-constrained thermal environments. |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 15 Ω @ IZT = 5 mA, f = 1 kHz; low AC impedance enables effective ripple suppression in feedback or reference paths. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 2 μA @ VR = 5.6 V; minimal off-state current preserves battery life and signal integrity in low-power standby circuits. |
| Junction Temp Range | −55°C to +150°C; validated operation across full automotive under-hood and industrial ambient conditions. |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV) per HBM; withstands high-energy electrostatic discharge without parameter shift or failure. |
Pinout & Package
SOD−123 surface-mount plastic package (1.60 × 2.69 × 1.16 mm), void-free thermosetting case with corrosion-resistant finish, cathode indicated by polarity band.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Banded End) | Cathode | Connected to regulated output node; reverse-biased terminal where Zener breakdown occurs. |

Applications
| Automotive Power Rail Clamping | Low-Power Sensor Reference |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting LIN bus transceivers and microcontroller I/O pins from load-dump transients in 12 V vehicle systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Two-terminal shunt regulator clamping voltage spikes to safe levels during alternator load dump events. Use Value: Prevents latch-up or damage to downstream ICs by limiting transient voltage to ≤7.14 V with fast response and no external control logic. | Use Scenario: Providing stable 6.8 V reference for analog front-ends in tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Passive voltage reference source for ADC biasing and sensor excitation in ultra-low-power intermittent wake-up cycles. Use Value: Enables <2 μA leakage and ±5% accuracy over −40°C to +125°C - critical for multi-year battery life and calibration stability. |
| Industrial PLC Input Protection | Consumer USB Port Overvoltage Clamp |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding 24 V digital input channels in programmable logic controllers against field-wiring faults and EFT bursts. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Shunt protection element absorbing surge energy while maintaining defined clamping voltage during IEC 61000-4-4 events. Use Value: Delivers consistent 6.8 V clamping with 15 Ω dynamic impedance - reduces voltage overshoot and improves immunity margin without active components. | Use Scenario: Preventing damage to USB 2.0 data lines and power switches from accidental 12 V adapter misconnection. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standby-mode overvoltage clamp placed between VBUS and ground on host-side ports. Use Value: Blocks >7.14 V with <2 μA quiescent current - avoids false triggering while preserving USB enumeration timing and signal integrity. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMSZ6V8T1G | No SZ prefix; not AEC−Q101 qualified; identical electrical specs and SOD−123 package. | Intended for commercial/industrial use only; lacks automotive traceability and PPAP documentation. | Select when AEC−Q101 compliance is unnecessary and cost sensitivity outweighs automotive qualification requirements. |
| BZX84-C6V8 | Higher ZZT (40 Ω @ 5 mA); SOT−23 package (larger footprint); ±5% tolerance; no AEC−Q101 rating. | Lower regulation precision and thermal performance; unsuitable for high-density or automotive designs. | Consider only for legacy SOT−23 layouts where board rework is prohibitive and tighter impedance is not required. |
Compared with MMSZ6V8T1G and BZX84-C6V8, SZMMSZ6V8T1G uniquely combines AEC−Q101 qualification, 15 Ω Zener impedance, and SOD−123 miniaturization - making it the only choice for new automotive designs requiring both reliability and space efficiency.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for SZMMSZ6V8T1G?
The SZMMSZ6V8T1G has a nominal Zener voltage of 6.8 V with a tolerance of ±5%, meaning its actual breakdown voltage falls between 6.46 V and 7.14 V when tested at IZT = 5 mA and TA = 25°C. This tolerance is guaranteed per onsemi's datasheet revision 13 and applies across the full operating temperature range.
Is SZMMSZ6V8T1G suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SZMMSZ6V8T1G is AEC−Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, with full traceability and process controls meeting automotive reliability standards. Its −55°C to +150°C junction temperature range, >16 kV HBM ESD rating, and SOD−123 package make it appropriate for engine control, body electronics, and ADAS power rail protection.
What is the maximum power dissipation of SZMMSZ6V8T1G at 100°C ambient?
At 100°C ambient, SZMMSZ6V8T1G dissipates 332.5 mW: starting from 500 mW at 75°C, it derates at 6.7 mW/°C, so (100 − 75) × 6.7 = 167.5 mW reduction. This value assumes mounting on FR−5 board per datasheet Note 1 and must be verified with actual PCB thermal design.
Does SZMMSZ6V8T1G have lead-free construction?
Yes, SZMMSZ6V8T1G is Pb−free and RoHS compliant, indicated by the "G" suffix in its part number. Its terminations meet JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level (MSL) requirements and are compatible with standard lead-free reflow profiles up to 260°C for 10 seconds.
How does the dynamic impedance of SZMMSZ6V8T1G affect its regulation performance?
SZMMSZ6V8T1G has a dynamic impedance (ZZT) of 15 Ω at IZT = 5 mA and 1 kHz, meaning small changes in Zener current produce minimal voltage variation - improving regulation accuracy in noisy or varying-load environments. Lower ZZT directly enhances ripple rejection and reference stability compared to higher-impedance alternatives like BZX84-C6V8.
