MMSZ4696T1G

MMSZ4696T1G is a Vishay MMSZ family surface‑mount Zener diode (about 0.5 W). It’s used to clamp or regulate voltage in compact circuits and is in an SOD‑123 style package with RoHS-compliant T1G lead‑free/reel packaging. The “4696” code denotes a specific Zener voltage Vz; the exact value, tolerance, test current, and other electricals are defined in the datasheet. Typical specs include Ptot ~0.5 W, specified IZ for regulation, Zzt (dynamic impedance), and a −55 to +125 °C operating range. How to use: connect it in reverse with an appropriate series resistor to hold the voltage at Vz. Common applications are simple voltage references, regulator/clamp circuits, and transient protection. For exact Vz and electrical parameters, consult the MMSZ4696T1G datasheet.

MMSZ4696T1G is a small-signal Zener diode (0.5 W, SOD-123). Typical application areas:
- Low-power voltage regulation and reference in microcontrollers, sensors, and analog front-ends
- Clamping and overvoltage protection on power rails and signal lines
- Transient/surge protection in power adapters and battery-powered devices
- Input protection and level-shifting for logic and interface circuits
- Peak clipping and simple waveform shaping in regulator or limiter circuits
Used where a fixed reference or voltage clamp is needed in compact, low-power designs.

The MMSZ4696T1G is supplied in a SOD‑523 surface‑mount package (small SMD) and shipped in T1G tape‑and‑reel format.
