Product details
Overview
MM5Z43V from Fairchild Semiconductor is a surface-mount Zener diode with a nominal zener voltage of 43 V, ±7% tolerance (40–46 V), 150 Ω dynamic impedance at 2 mA test current, and 200 mW power dissipation in the ultra-compact SOD-523F package. It provides precise voltage regulation in space-constrained power supply feedback loops, overvoltage protection circuits, and reference voltage generation for analog signal conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the MM5Z43V datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this device is selected for low-profile, high-reliability DC voltage clamping and stabilization where thermal resistance (500 °C/W) and moisture sensitivity level 1 handling are critical design constraints.
Technical Context
The MM5Z43V operates as a reverse-biased silicon Zener diode, maintaining stable voltage across its terminals when reverse current exceeds the knee current (IZK = 0.5 mA). Its zener voltage is specified under 10 ms pulse test conditions to minimize self-heating effects during characterization.
Designed for operation across –55 °C to +150 °C, it features a cathode band marking on the SOD-523F body and uses matte tin (Sn) lead finish with green mold compound - compliant with RoHS and Pb-free requirements without derating.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX584-C43 | 43 V nominal, ±5% tolerance; 100 Ω ZZT @ 5 mA; SOD-523 package (not SOD-523F) | Higher test current shifts operating point; slightly tighter tolerance but higher impedance at low current | Preferred where tighter voltage tolerance is required and board layout allows minor footprint adjustment |
| MMSZ43ET1G | 43 V nominal, ±5% tolerance; 150 Ω ZZT @ 1 mA; SOD-123 package (2.7 × 1.6 mm vs. SOD-523F's 1.3 × 0.8 mm) | Larger footprint and higher RθJA (~400 °C/W) reduce thermal efficiency in dense layouts | Selected when higher surge current capability (500 mW) outweighs size constraints |
Compared with BZX584-C43 and MMSZ43ET1G, the MM5Z43V offers the smallest footprint and lowest profile among 43 V Zeners while maintaining industry-standard 200 mW rating and MSL1 handling - ideal for miniaturized, thermally constrained designs where exact 2 mA test-point operation is specified.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance for MM5Z43V?
The MM5Z43V has a zener voltage range of 40 V to 46 V at 2 mA test current, corresponding to a ±7% tolerance around the nominal 43 V rating. This tolerance is verified per the manufacturer's electrical characteristics table and applies under pulse-test conditions (10 ms) to avoid thermal drift during measurement. The MM5Z43V maintains this specification across its full operating temperature range of –55 °C to +150 °C.
Is MM5Z43V compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
Yes, the MM5Z43V is fully compatible with lead-free reflow soldering. It features a matte tin (Sn) lead finish and meets RoHS compliance requirements. Its moisture sensitivity level is rated MSL1, meaning it can be stored indefinitely at ambient conditions without baking prior to assembly. The SOD-523F package is qualified for peak reflow temperatures up to 260 °C per J-STD-020.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for MM5Z43V?
The MM5Z43V exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 0.05 μA when biased at 30.1 V (70% of nominal VZ). This value is measured at TA = 25 °C and reflects the device's ability to maintain high-impedance behavior below its breakdown threshold - critical for low-power sensor biasing and battery-operated circuits where standby current must remain sub-nanoampere.
Does MM5Z43V have a defined cathode marking?
Yes, the MM5Z43V uses a visible cathode band on the SOD-523F package body to identify terminal 2 as the cathode. This marking aligns with JEITA SC79 standards and matches the polarity shown in the official electrical symbol diagram. Correct orientation is essential for proper reverse-bias operation; installing the MM5Z43V with reversed polarity will prevent zener conduction and may cause open-circuit failure in regulation paths.
What is the thermal resistance of MM5Z43V in standard mounting?
The MM5Z43V has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 500 °C/W when mounted on an FR-4 PCB using the minimum recommended land pad per JEITA SC79. This value assumes natural convection only and no additional copper pour or thermal vias. At full 200 mW dissipation, this results in a ~100 °C junction-to-ambient temperature rise - confirming suitability for ambient environments up to +55 °C in sealed enclosures.
