MM5Z15VT1

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The MM5Z15VT1 is a Zener voltage regulator diode from the MM5Z2V4T1 series, manufactured by onsemi. It is housed in an SOD-523 (CASE 502) surface-mount package with dimensions of 1.20 mm x 0.80 mm and a height of 0.7 mm. The device provides a nominal reverse Zener voltage of 15 V with a tolerance range of 14.3 V to 15.8 V at a test current of 5 mA. It features a maximum steady-state power dissipation of 100 mW and operates within a junction temperature range of -65°C to +150°C. Electrical characteristics include a maximum Zener impedance of 30 ohms at the test current and a leakage current of 50 µA at 10.5 V reverse voltage.

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number against official datasheets to confirm the 100 mW power rating and SOD-523 packaging. Ensure compatibility with automated board assembly processes and check lead finish specifications for soldering requirements. Confirm RoHS compliance status if required for the target application environment.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact surface-mount Zener diode is needed for general-purpose voltage regulation. Consider the 100 mW power dissipation limit and the 15 V nominal breakdown voltage. Evaluate the package size constraints against the available board space and verify that the operating temperature range meets the environmental conditions.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This device belongs to the MM5Z2V4T1 series of Zener voltage regulators offered by onsemi. The series covers a wide breakdown voltage range from 2.4 V to 75 V. These components are engineered as alternatives to leadless packages, providing a convenient surface-mount solution for standard voltage regulation tasks in consumer electronics.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other MM5Z series variants for different voltage ratings or power dissipations. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal performance before substituting with similar SOD-523 Zener diodes from other manufacturers.
