Product details
Overview
MMBZ5223B-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a 2.7 V, 350 mW surface-mount Zener diode in SOT23 package, rated for 20 mA test current with 1.3 kΩ dynamic impedance at 1 kHz and 75 µA reverse leakage at 1.0 V, used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in low-power analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MMBZ5223B-7-F datasheet, MMBZ5223B-7-F pinout, MMBZ5223B-7-F application, or MMBZ5223B-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±5%), thermal resistance (357 °C/W on FR-4), JEDEC-compliant reliability, and RoHS/Green compliance for consumer and industrial PCB designs.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable voltage across its terminals under varying load and temperature conditions. Its planar die construction ensures consistent breakdown characteristics and low leakage, with specified performance validated at 25°C ambient and derated linearly above 25°C per Fig. 1.
The device exhibits a nominal zener voltage of 2.7 V with ±5% tolerance (2.57–2.84 V), measured at 20 mA test current; its 1.3 kΩ impedance at 1 kHz reflects moderate regulation capability suitable for signal-level biasing rather than high-current regulation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 2.7 V nominal, 2.57–2.84 V range at IZT = 20 mA - defines stable reference point for low-voltage bias networks |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 350 mW on FR-4 PCB - sets maximum continuous power handling without heatsinking |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 1.3 kΩ at f = 1 kHz, IZT = 20 mA - indicates voltage regulation sensitivity to current changes |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 75 µA at VR = 1.0 V - quantifies off-state conduction affecting high-impedance node integrity |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 357 °C/W - determines junction temperature rise per watt dissipated on standard FR-4 layout |
| Operating Temperature | −65 °C to +150 °C - supports extended-range operation in automotive and industrial environments |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT23 - surface-mount plastic package with 3 terminals, 0.008 g mass, UL 94V-0 rated molding compound, and matte tin-plated Alloy 42 leadframe.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C2V7 | Same 2.7 V nominal, but 300 mW rating and higher ZZT (1.5 kΩ); SOT23 package with different marking and thermal resistance (400 °C/W) | Suitable for lower-power biasing only; less stable under thermal stress due to higher RθJA | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs thermal margin requirements in non-automotive designs |
| MMBZ5223BS-7-F | Same electrical specs but SOT323 package (smaller footprint, 250 mW rating, RθJA = 430 °C/W) | Used where board space is constrained but power dissipation must be reduced by 29% | Choose for ultra-compact portable devices where 350 mW headroom is unnecessary |
Compared with BZX84-C2V7 and MMBZ5223BS-7-F, MMBZ5223B-7-F delivers superior thermal performance (357 °C/W) and higher power margin (350 mW), making it preferred for sustained operation in thermally dense industrial PCBs.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse voltage this Zener can regulate?
The MMBZ5223B-7-F is rated for nominal 2.7 V zener voltage with a guaranteed range of 2.57 V to 2.84 V at 20 mA test current. It is not intended for continuous regulation above its specified VZ; operation beyond 2.84 V risks exceeding power limits and thermal runaway unless current is strictly limited by an external series resistor.
Can this device be used in automotive applications?
MMBZ5223B-7-F is not AEC-Q200 qualified; Diodes Incorporated offers automotive-grade variants with Q-suffix (e.g., MMBZ5223BQ-7-F) manufactured in IATF 16949-certified facilities and qualified to AEC-Q200. This standard version is suitable for commercial and industrial applications only.
How does the 350 mW rating translate to real-world PCB layout?
The 350 mW rating assumes mounting on FR-4 with Diodes' recommended pad layout (2.0 mm × 0.9 mm pad, 1.35 mm × 2.9 mm stencil). Deviations-such as smaller pads, no thermal relief, or non-FR-4 substrates-reduce actual power handling and require derating per Fig. 1's linear curve above 25°C ambient.
Is the SOT23 pinout standardized across manufacturers?
Yes: Pin 1 is Anode, Pin 2 is Cathode, and Pin 3 is No-Connect for all Diodes MMBZ52xxB devices in SOT23. This matches JEDEC TO-236AB standard and is compatible with common pick-and-place tooling and footprint libraries used in Altium, KiCad, and Cadence.
