Product details
Overview
MM3Z43VB from onsemi is a 43 V, ±2% tolerance Zener diode in SOD−323FL package, rated for 200 mW power dissipation and 141 Ω dynamic impedance at 2 mA test current, used for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in low-power analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MM3Z43VB datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy (42.14–43.86 V), low leakage current (≤45 nA at 30.1 V), thermal resistance (595 °C/W), and SOD−323FL footprint compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The MM3Z43VB operates as a two-terminal voltage reference device, conducting in reverse breakdown to maintain stable output voltage under varying load and temperature conditions. Its 43 V nominal Zener voltage is specified at 2 mA test current (IZT) with tight ±2% tolerance and 141 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT).
Designed for surface-mount use in SOD−323FL package, it features matte tin (Pb−free) finish and supports operation across −65 °C to +150 °C storage range and up to 150 °C junction temperature. Reverse leakage current remains ≤45 nA at VR = 30.1 V.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX384-B43,115 (Nexperia) | Same 43 V ±2%, SOD-323 package, but 300 mW rating and 150 Ω ZZT at 5 mA | Higher power handling suits higher-current clamping; slightly higher impedance affects regulation precision | Select for designs needing >200 mW margin or where 5 mA test current aligns with system bias point |
| MMBZ5257B (onsemi) | 43 V ±5%, SOT-23 package, 350 mW rating, 23 Ω ZZT at 20 mA | Larger footprint and looser tolerance; lower impedance benefits high-current regulation | Choose when board space allows SOT-23 and system tolerates ±5% VZ variation |
Compared with BZX384-B43,115 and MMBZ5257B, the MM3Z43VB offers tighter ±2% tolerance in the smallest SOD−323FL footprint, making it optimal for miniaturized, precision-referenced applications where leakage (<45 nA) and thermal resistance (595 °C/W) are critical constraints.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of MM3Z43VB?
The MM3Z43VB has a guaranteed Zener voltage tolerance of ±2% at 25 °C, with a specified range of 42.14 V to 43.86 V at IZT = 2 mA. This tight tolerance enables use in precision reference applications without post-manufacturing calibration. The MM3Z43VB maintains this specification across its qualified operating temperature range and is tested per onsemi's Rev. 3 datasheet dated August 2023.
What package type does MM3Z43VB use?
MM3Z43VB uses the SOD−323FL package (Case 477AB), measuring 1.7 mm × 1.25 mm × 0.95 mm with matte tin (Pb−free) terminations. It features a cathode band marking on terminal 2 and is optimized for high-density PCB assembly. The MM3Z43VB's SOD−323FL footprint is standardized across the MM3Z2V4B–MM3Z75VB family and supported by industry reflow profiles.
What is the maximum power dissipation rating for MM3Z43VB?
The MM3Z43VB is rated for 200 mW maximum power dissipation at 25 °C ambient temperature. Derating is required above 25 °C per the thermal resistance RJA = 595 °C/W. At 85 °C ambient, usable power drops to approximately 120 mW. This rating applies to the MM3Z43VB in its standard SOD−323FL package with typical PCB copper area; actual dissipation depends on board layout and airflow.
How does MM3Z43VB perform at elevated temperatures?
The MM3Z43VB is characterized for operation up to 150 °C junction temperature and supports storage from −65 °C to +150 °C. Its Zener voltage exhibits predictable positive temperature coefficient behavior, with typical drift of +0.06%/°C near 43 V. The MM3Z43VB maintains ≤45 nA leakage at 30.1 V up to 125 °C, ensuring reliability in automotive and industrial environments.
Is MM3Z43VB RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, MM3Z43VB is RoHS compliant and features matte tin (Sn) finish with no lead content. It meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1 and is qualified for Pb−free reflow soldering per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020. The MM3Z43VB's Pb−free construction is documented in onsemi's official datasheet revision 3 (August 2023) and verified through certified material declarations.
