LRC
A strong cross-vendor alternative with matching package, Zener voltage, and power rating.
MMSZ4705T1G is an 18V, 500mW Zener diode in a SOD-123 package from onsemi. While several alternatives exist, careful review of Zener voltage and test conditions is required for a successful replacement.
Candidates may have different Zener voltage or test conditions affecting impedance.
All viable candidates use the same SOD-123 package.
Some alternatives are from different vendors or have unknown lifecycle status.
LMSZ5248BT1G is the closest functional and physical match, but requires engineering validation due to different test current specifications in its datasheet.
The most direct path is LMSZ5248BT1G, which matches key parameters. For more options, consider other parts in the onsemi MMSZ series, but be prepared to accept slight voltage variations (e.g., 20V).
The primary risk is selecting a part with an incorrect Zener voltage, which will fail to regulate at the intended 18V.
