onsemi
Automotive-grade alternative from onsemi with a higher Zener voltage of 5.1V.
MMSZ5230BT1G is a 4.7V, 500mW Zener diode in a SOD-123 package from onsemi. It is commonly used for voltage regulation and transient suppression in a wide range of electronic circuits.
Zener voltage differs (5.1V vs 4.7V), requiring circuit validation.
All viable candidates use the same SOD-123 package.
No direct, 1-to-1 replacement for the 4.7V MMSZ5230BT1G was found. All viable form-factor candidates have a 5.1V Zener voltage.
Consider SZMMSZ5231BT1G if your application can tolerate a 5.1V regulation voltage; it is from the same manufacturer and is AEC-Q101 qualified.
The main risk is the Zener voltage difference (4.7V vs. 5.1V), which could affect the regulation point and potentially damage downstream components.
