onsemi's SZMMSZ5231BT1G is a strong alternative with matching key specs, package, and added AEC-Q101 qualification.
LMSZ5231BT1G is a general-purpose 5.1V, 500mW Zener diode in a SOD-123 package. Numerous cross-vendor alternatives with matching form, fit, and function are available, providing robust sourcing options.
Key specs match across several candidates, but always check dynamic impedance and tolerance.
SOD-123 is a standard package, but variants like SOD-123FL exist and are not compatible.
This is a common Zener diode value with many manufacturers, reducing sourcing risk.
Direct replacement for LMSZ5231BT1G should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.
SZMMSZ5231BT1G from onsemi is the strongest candidate, offering matching specs from a major manufacturer with added automotive qualification.
The primary risk is ensuring the replacement part's dynamic characteristics and tolerances are suitable for the specific application, and verifying the pinout/polarity from the datasheet.
