Product details
Overview
SZNZ8F18VSMX2WT5G from onsemi is an AEC-Q101-qualified Zener diode designed for precision voltage regulation and transient overvoltage clamping in space-constrained automotive and industrial circuits. It delivers a nominal Zener voltage of 18.0 V (17.59–18.41 V at IZT = 5 mA), with ±2.3% tolerance, 50 Ω dynamic impedance, and 0.1 µA leakage current at 14 V reverse bias - enabling stable reference and ESD protection in power management rails.
For engineers reviewing the SZNZ8F18VSMX2WT5G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include tight voltage tolerance, wettable flank X2DFNW2 package compatibility with AOI, AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive control units, and low 0.40 mm profile for high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device operates as a unidirectional, silicon planar Zener diode optimized for low-power voltage reference and clamping functions. Its electrical behavior is defined by sharp reverse breakdown at 18.0 V with minimal temperature coefficient (±6 mV/°C typical) and low capacitance (60 pF at 0 V, 1 MHz), supporting fast transient response in signal line protection.
The X2DFNW2 package features wettable flanks for reliable solder-joint inspection and thermal performance rated at RJA = 247 °C/W (150 mm² pad), enabling 500 mW dissipation at 25 °C ambient - critical for under-hood automotive modules where thermal margin and optical inspection are mandatory.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1SMB5925BT3G | 500 mW DO-214AA package; ±5% tolerance (17.1–18.9 V); 100 Ω ZZT; no AEC-Q101 rating | General-purpose industrial use only; unsuitable for automotive PPAP due to lack of qualification and larger footprint | Select when cost is primary and automotive compliance is not required; requires PCB layout change |
| MMSZ5245B-TP | 500 mW SOD-123; ±5% tolerance (17.1–18.9 V); 30 Ω ZZT; no wettable flanks or AEC-Q101 | Consumer electronics and non-automotive embedded systems; lacks AOI support and automotive reliability validation | Choose for high-volume consumer products where AOI and PPAP are unnecessary; same 18 V nominal but looser tolerance |
Compared with 1SMB5925BT3G and MMSZ5245B-TP, the SZNZ8F18VSMX2WT5G offers tighter tolerance, wettable flank inspection capability, and AEC-Q101 qualification - making it the only option qualified for automotive ECU and ADAS subsystems requiring zero-defect manufacturing traceability.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SZNZ8F18VSMX2WT5G?
The SZNZ8F18VSMX2WT5G has a tight tolerance of ±2.3%, with a specified Zener voltage range of 17.59 V to 18.41 V at IZT = 5 mA. This is achieved via the "S" grade (tight tolerance) variant in the NZ8F series, distinct from the standard "M" grade (±5%). The SZNZ8F18VSMX2WT5G achieves this accuracy without requiring post-manufacturing trimming, supporting high-yield automotive production.
Is SZNZ8F18VSMX2WT5G qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the SZNZ8F18VSMX2WT5G is AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, with full test reports covering HTGB, HTRB, temperature cycling, and ESD (HBM ≥ 2 kV). The "SZ" prefix explicitly denotes automotive-grade process controls, unique site traceability, and change management - satisfying Tier-1 OEM requirements for engine control, body electronics, and ADAS modules.
What is the maximum power dissipation for SZNZ8F18VSMX2WT5G?
The SZNZ8F18VSMX2WT5G supports 500 mW total device dissipation at TA = 25 °C when mounted on a 150 mm² FR-4 board with 1 oz. copper (Note 2 in datasheet). Derating is 1.2 mW/°C above 25 °C. This higher rating versus the 250 mW rating (Note 1, minimum pad) enables robust operation in thermally demanding automotive under-hood locations.
Does SZNZ8F18VSMX2WT5G have wettable flank leads?
Yes, the SZNZ8F18VSMX2WT5G uses the X2DFNW2 package with wettable flank side walls, enabling full-solder-fillet visibility for automated optical inspection (AOI). This feature is explicitly called out in the datasheet's Specification Features section and is critical for zero-defect manufacturing in automotive electronics assembly lines.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for SZNZ8F18VSMX2WT5G?
The SZNZ8F18VSMX2WT5G specifies a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 0.1 µA at VR = 14 V and TA = 25 °C. This low leakage supports extended battery life in always-on automotive modules such as telematics control units and tire pressure monitoring systems where standby current must remain below 1 µA.
