Product details
Overview
MM5Z10VT5GF from Nexperia is a 10 V ±2 % tolerance Zener diode in SOD523 (SC-79) package, rated for 300 mW total power dissipation and 40 W non-repetitive peak reverse power, with 0.2 Ω typical differential resistance at IZ = 7 mA and 4.5 mV/K temperature coefficient - used for precision voltage reference and low-power regulation in space-constrained consumer and industrial PCBs.
For engineers reviewing the MM5Z10VT5GF datasheet, MM5Z10VT5GF pinout, MM5Z10VT5GF application, or MM5Z10VT5GF equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal behavior, cathode/anode terminal mapping, and real-world use cases for compact voltage stabilization in battery-powered sensors, LDO bias networks, and overvoltage clamp circuits.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable 10 V output across 1 mA to 7 mA test currents, with low dynamic impedance enabling tight regulation under varying load conditions. Its 0.2 Ω differential resistance and 110 pF capacitance at 1 MHz support high-frequency noise suppression in analog signal chains.
The device features a negative temperature coefficient of +4.5 mV/K at IZ = 7 mA, optimized for thermal stability in ambient ranges from −55 °C to +150 °C. Junction-to-solder-point thermal resistance is 65 K/W, confirming suitability for FR4 PCBs with minimal copper area.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 9.80 V to 10.20 V at IZ = 7 mA - ensures ±2 % regulation accuracy for reference-sensitive circuits |
| Differential Resistance rdiff | 0.2 Ω max at IZ = 7 mA - enables minimal voltage deviation under load transients |
| Temperature Coefficient SZ | +4.5 mV/K at IZ = 7 mA - provides predictable drift compensation in thermally variable environments |
| Total Power Dissipation Ptot | 300 mW at Tamb = 25 °C on FR4 with 35 mm² cathode Cu - defines safe continuous operating envelope |
| Non-repetitive Peak Reverse Power | 40 W for tp = 100 µs square wave - supports transient surge clamping without failure |
| Reverse Current IR | ≤150 µA at VR = 8 V - guarantees low leakage in standby-biased protection nodes |
| Forward Voltage VF | 1.1 V max at IF = 100 mA - confirms robust forward conduction for dual-mode (forward/reverse) circuit use |

Applications
| Power Supply Reference | Overvoltage Clamp |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Providing stable 10 V reference for ADC voltage dividers and op-amp biasing in portable medical sensors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener diode functions as shunt voltage reference, absorbing excess current to hold node voltage constant. Use Value: ±2 % tolerance and 0.2 Ω rdiff ensure <10 mV reference drift across 1–5 mA load variation, improving measurement repeatability. |
Use Scenario: Protecting microcontroller I/O pins from ESD-induced voltage spikes up to 15 V in automotive body control modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Acts as fast-acting shunt clamp, conducting surge current when reverse voltage exceeds 10.2 V. Use Value: 40 W non-repetitive peak power rating absorbs 100 µs transients without degradation, meeting ISO 10605 Class III requirements. |
| Low-Power Bias Network | Signal-Level Voltage Limiter |
|
Use Scenario: Generating precise 10 V bias for CMOS analog switches in battery-powered IoT edge nodes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supplies regulated gate drive voltage while drawing only 2 µA leakage at 8 V reverse bias. Use Value: ≤150 µA reverse current at 8 V ensures <1 µW standby power loss, extending coin-cell battery life beyond 5 years. |
Use Scenario: Limiting audio signal swing to ±10 V in headphone amplifier feedback paths to prevent op-amp saturation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Clamps positive excursions above 10.2 V and negative excursions below −1.1 V (forward conduction). Use Value: 110 pF capacitance at 1 MHz minimizes high-frequency phase shift, preserving audio bandwidth up to 200 kHz. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX584C10 | Same 10 V nominal, ±5 % tolerance, 300 mW rating, but SOD323 package (1.7 × 1.3 mm) | Larger footprint reduces board density; higher 10 Ω rdiff increases regulation error under load | Select only if SOD323 is already standardized in design and tighter tolerance is not required |
| MMSZ5240B | 10 V nominal, ±5 %, 500 mW rating, SOD123 package (2.7 × 1.6 mm), 17 Ω rdiff | Higher power handling but 8.5× larger area; unsuitable for ultra-dense layouts | Prefer for high-current biasing where thermal margin >300 mW is needed and space permits |
Compared with BZX584C10 and MMSZ5240B, MM5Z10VT5GF delivers superior regulation accuracy (±2 % vs. ±5 %), lower dynamic impedance (0.2 Ω vs. ≥10 Ω), and smallest footprint (SOD523), making it optimal for miniaturized, precision voltage reference applications where size and stability are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current this Zener can handle without exceeding its 300 mW rating?
At 10 V Zener voltage, the absolute maximum continuous reverse current is 30 mA (P = V × I → 300 mW ÷ 10 V = 30 mA). However, derating is recommended above 25 °C ambient; at 70 °C, maximum usable current drops to ~22 mA due to thermal resistance limits and junction temperature constraints.
Can MM5Z10VT5GF be used in series or parallel configurations for higher voltage or current capability?
No - Zener diodes must not be paralleled due to mismatched breakdown voltages causing current hogging and thermal runaway. Series connection is possible for higher voltage, but requires matched units and balancing resistors; however, MM5Z10VT5GF's ±2 % tolerance makes matching impractical without binning, and no official series configuration guidance exists in the datasheet.
How does the 4.5 mV/K temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy over a −40 °C to +85 °C operating range?
Over that 125 K span, voltage drift is 125 K × 4.5 mV/K = ±562.5 mV - resulting in a total VZ range of 9.24 V to 10.76 V. This is within the device's specified min/max (9.80–10.20 V) only at 25 °C; full-range operation requires system-level compensation or selection of a zero-TC Zener like MM5Z12VT5G (+6.0 mV/K) paired with a negative-TC device.
Is the SOD523 package compatible with standard reflow soldering profiles for lead-free assembly?
Yes - Nexperia specifies compatibility with IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020D reflow profiles. The SOD523 footprint (Fig. 10) uses 0.5 mm wide × 1.4 mm long solder lands with 0.4 mm solder mask clearance, supporting peak temperatures up to 260 °C for ≤30 seconds, matching common Pb-free SAC305 processes without delamination or voiding.
