Product details
Overview
MM3Z27VB from onsemi is a 27 V ±2% Zener diode in SOD−323FL package, rated for 200 mW power dissipation, 75 Ω dynamic impedance at 2 mA test current, and 18.9 V reverse breakdown voltage at 0.045 µA leakage. It provides precision voltage regulation in low-power analog reference and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MM3Z27VB datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified electrical specs, thermal limits, cathode/anode terminal roles, SOD−323FL package dimensions, and direct alternatives for voltage reference design and ESD-robust signal conditioning.
Technical Context
The MM3Z27VB operates as a two-terminal silicon Zener diode with sharp reverse breakdown at 27 V nominal, characterized under pulse conditions (10 ms) to minimize self-heating effects. Its ±2% tolerance and 75 Ω Zener impedance at IZT = 2 mA support stable regulation in low-current bias networks.
Designed for surface-mount use in space-constrained applications, it features matte tin (Pb-free) terminations and a maximum junction temperature of 150 °C. Thermal resistance from junction-to-ambient is 595 °C/W, limiting continuous DC operation to ≤1.3 mA at 25 °C ambient without derating.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 26.46 V (min) to 27.54 V (max) at IZT = 2 mA - defines regulation band for precision reference use |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 75 Ω max at IZT = 2 mA - determines output voltage stability under load variation |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 200 mW at TA = 25 °C - sets absolute thermal limit for PCB layout and trace width planning |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.045 µA max at VR = 18.9 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in high-impedance sensing nodes |
| Junction Temperature (TJ) | 150 °C max - constrains operating ambient and heatsinking requirements in sealed enclosures |
| Thermal Resistance (RJA) | 595 °C/W - indicates need for copper pour or thermal vias if operating above 50 mW continuously |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX384-B27 | Same 27 V ±2%, but SOD-323 package with 400 mW rating and higher ZZT (120 Ω) | Higher power handling supports 10 mA continuous regulation; less stable under light loads | Select for higher-current reference needs where thermal margin is critical |
| MMSZ5258B | 27 V ±5%, SOD-123 package, 500 mW rating, ZZT = 40 Ω at 20 mA | Looser tolerance trades accuracy for lower impedance at higher test current | Choose when cost sensitivity outweighs ±2% precision and board space permits larger SOD-123 footprint |
Compared with BZX384-B27 and MMSZ5258B, the MM3Z27VB offers tighter tolerance and lower Zener impedance at low current (2 mA), making it optimal for battery-powered sensor nodes and low-quiescent-current bias networks where regulation stability below 1 mA matters most.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of MM3Z27VB?
The MM3Z27VB has a nominal Zener voltage of 27 V with a guaranteed tolerance of ±2%, meaning its actual breakdown voltage falls between 26.46 V and 27.54 V when tested at IZT = 2 mA. This tight tolerance is specified per onsemi's Rev. 3 datasheet and enables accurate voltage referencing without calibration in low-power analog circuits using the MM3Z27VB.
What package type does MM3Z27VB use?
The MM3Z27VB uses the SOD−323FL package (CASE 477AB), a miniature surface-mount plastic case measuring 1.2 mm × 0.8 mm with gull-wing leads and matte tin (Pb-free) terminations. This package is confirmed in the official onsemi datasheet and supports automated placement and reflow soldering in high-density PCB layouts for the MM3Z27VB.
What is the maximum power dissipation for MM3Z27VB?
The MM3Z27VB has a maximum power dissipation of 200 mW at ambient temperature (TA) = 25 °C. This value is defined in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and must be derated linearly above 25 °C using the 595 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance - for example, to ~120 mW at 75 °C ambient - to ensure reliable operation of the MM3Z27VB.
How does MM3Z27VB behave under reverse leakage conditions?
The MM3Z27VB exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current of 0.045 µA at a reverse voltage (VR) of 18.9 V, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This ultra-low leakage preserves signal integrity in high-impedance nodes and extends battery life in always-on monitoring systems powered by the MM3Z27VB.
Is MM3Z27VB suitable for ESD protection applications?
Yes, the MM3Z27VB is commonly used for low-energy ESD clamping due to its well-defined 27 V breakdown and low leakage. Its 18.9 V reverse standoff voltage allows safe operation below system rails, while its 200 mW rating handles typical IEC 61000-4-2 contact discharges when paired with current-limiting resistors - a validated use case for the MM3Z27VB in industrial interface protection.
