Product details
Overview
MMBZ5226B-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a 3.3 V, 350 mW surface-mount Zener diode in SOT23 package, rated for 20 mA test current with 28 Ω dynamic impedance at 1 kHz and 25 µA reverse leakage at 1.0 V, used for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in low-power analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MMBZ5226B-7-F datasheet, MMBZ5226B-7-F pinout, MMBZ5226B-7-F application, or MMBZ5226B-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±3.6%), thermal resistance (357 °C/W on FR-4), JEDEC-compliant reliability, and RoHS/Green compliance for space-constrained PCB designs.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable reference voltage under varying load and temperature conditions. Its planar die construction ensures consistent breakdown characteristics and low parameter drift across production lots.
Designed for automated SMT assembly, it delivers predictable regulation down to 0.25 mA knee current (ZZK = 1600 Ω) and supports operation from –65 °C to +150 °C ambient, with power derating above +25 °C per Figure 1.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 3.3 V nominal, 3.14–3.47 V range at IZT = 20 mA - defines tight regulation window for 3.3 V rail clamping |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 350 mW on FR-4 PCB - sets maximum continuous dissipation without heatsinking |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 28 Ω at f = 1 kHz, IZT = 20 mA - indicates low AC impedance for stable reference under ripple |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 25 µA at VR = 1.0 V - confirms minimal standby current in undervoltage detection circuits |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 357 °C/W - determines junction temperature rise under load; requires thermal pad layout per Diodes' outline |
| Operating Temperature | –65 °C to +150 °C - enables use in industrial and automotive under-hood environments |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT23 - 3-terminal surface-mount plastic package with matte tin-plated Alloy 42 leadframe, UL 94V-0 rated, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Pin 1) | Forward conduction terminal / cathode reference ground | Connected to circuit ground when used as shunt regulator; defines polarity for reverse-bias operation |
| Cathode (Pin 2) | Zener breakdown terminal / regulated output node | Connected to input rail; maintains 3.3 V relative to anode during breakdown conduction |
| No-Connect (Pin 3) | Internal die attach flag / mechanical support | Not electrically connected; serves structural role in SOT23 mold compound; must remain unconnected in layout |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Planar die construction | Ensures repeatable Zener voltage distribution and low parametric shift over life |

| Lead-free & RoHS 3 compliant | Meets EU Directive 2015/863/EU with <900 ppm Br+Cl and <1000 ppm Sb - suitable for export-sensitive designs |
| SOT23 footprint compatibility | Supports high-speed pick-and-place with industry-standard tape-and-reel (3,000 pcs/reel) |
Applications
| Power Supply Rail Clamping | ADC Reference Stabilization |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Clamp 3.3 V logic supply against transient overvoltage events in microcontroller-based sensor nodes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Shunt regulator that conducts excess current when rail exceeds 3.47 V, protecting downstream LDOs and I/O pins.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C3V3 | Same 3.3 V nominal, but 300 mW rating and higher ZZT (60 Ω); SOT23 package with different marking and thermal profile | Lower power margin and higher impedance reduce stability in precision references | Select only if legacy BOM alignment required; verify thermal derating on FR-4 |
| MMBZ5226BS-7-F | Same electrical specs, but SOD-323 package (smaller footprint, higher RθJA = 450 °C/W) | Higher thermal resistance limits continuous current in high-ambient environments | Prefer for ultra-dense layouts where board area is critical and power < 200 mW |
Compared with BZX84-C3V3 and MMBZ5226BS-7-F, MMBZ5226B-7-F offers superior thermal performance (357 °C/W) and lower dynamic impedance (28 Ω), making it optimal for stable 3.3 V regulation in industrial-grade PCBs where reliability and repeatability are prioritized over minimal footprint.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous Zener current for MMBZ5226B-7-F at 25°C ambient?
The device supports up to 20 mA continuous Zener current at TA = +25°C, corresponding to its 350 mW power rating (P = VZ × IZ ≈ 3.3 V × 20 mA = 66 mW). Full 350 mW dissipation requires derating above 25°C per Figure 1, reaching zero power at ~150°C ambient.
Does MMBZ5226B-7-F meet AEC-Q200 requirements for automotive use?
No - this part is not AEC-Q200 qualified. Diodes offers automotive-grade equivalents with Q-suffix (e.g., MMBZ5226BQ-7-F), which undergo PPAP, change control, and manufacturing in IATF 16949-certified facilities. Standard MMBZ5226B-7-F is intended for industrial and commercial applications.
How does the SOT23 pinout differ between MMBZ5226B-7-F and other Zener families?
MMBZ5226B-7-F follows standard SOT23 pinout: Pin 1 = Anode, Pin 2 = Cathode, Pin 3 = NC. This matches BZX84, MM3Z, and SMBZ families. Unlike TO-236AB or SOD-123 packages, SOT23 provides consistent orientation for automated placement and avoids ambiguity in cathode identification.
Can MMBZ5226B-7-F be used in parallel for higher power handling?
No - Zener diodes should not be paralleled due to mismatched breakdown voltages causing current hogging. Even devices from the same reel exhibit ±3.6% VZ tolerance, leading to unequal current sharing and thermal runaway. For >350 mW, use a single higher-power device like 1N4728A (3.3 V, 1 W) in DO-41 package.
