Product details
Overview
MMBZ5226BW-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a 3.3 V, 200 mW surface-mount Zener diode in SOT323 package, rated for ±3% zener voltage tolerance at 20 mA test current, with 28 Ω dynamic impedance and 25 μA reverse leakage at 1.0 V, used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in low-power analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MMBZ5226BW-7-F datasheet, MMBZ5226BW-7-F pinout, MMBZ5226BW-7-F application, or MMBZ5226BW-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage accuracy, thermal resistance (625 °C/W), AEC-Q101 qualification, lead-free/Green compliance, and SOT323 footprint compatibility with automated assembly.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable 3.3 V regulation across load and line variations. It delivers specified performance at 20 mA test current with 28 Ω zener impedance at 1 kHz, and exhibits 25 μA maximum reverse leakage at VR = 1.0 V - critical for low-current biasing and sensing nodes.
Designed for high-reliability applications, it meets AEC-Q101 stress testing requirements and features a UL 94V-0 molded plastic case with matte tin-plated Alloy 42 leads. Its 625 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance assumes FR4 PCB mounting per AP02001 recommended pad layout.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (Nominal) | 3.3 V - precise regulation point for 3.3 V rail monitoring or reference generation |
| Zener Voltage Tolerance | ±3% (3.14–3.47 V) - ensures predictable clamping within tight analog supply margins |
| Power Dissipation | 200 mW - supports continuous operation in space-constrained, low-power designs |
| Zener Impedance | 28 Ω @ 1 kHz - low dynamic resistance preserves regulation stability under varying current loads |
| Reverse Leakage Current | 25 μA @ VR = 1.0 V - minimal parasitic drain in standby or battery-backed circuits |
| Thermal Resistance | 625 °C/W - defines safe operating temperature rise on standard FR4 board with defined copper pads |
| Operating Temperature | −65 °C to +150 °C - enables use in automotive under-hood and industrial environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C3V3-7-F | Same 3.3 V nominal, ±5% tolerance (3.14–3.47 V), 300 mW rating, SOT23 package | Larger footprint; higher power allows higher surge handling but less dense layout | Select when higher surge immunity or legacy SOT23 tooling is required |
| MMSZ5226ET1G | 3.3 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, 500 mW rating, SOD-123 package, 30 Ω ZZT | Higher power and larger package; not AEC-Q101 qualified | Prefer for cost-sensitive industrial applications where automotive qualification is unnecessary |
Compared with BZX84-C3V3-7-F and MMSZ5226ET1G, MMBZ5226BW-7-F offers tighter ±3% tolerance, AEC-Q101 qualification, and SOT323 miniaturization - making it optimal for space-constrained, automotive-grade voltage reference and clamping tasks.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage this Zener can safely clamp without damage?
The MMBZ5226BW-7-F is rated for 1.0 V reverse voltage in leakage specification (IR @ VR), but its absolute maximum reverse voltage is defined by its 3.3 V nominal zener voltage and ±3% tolerance - meaning it begins regulating above ~3.14 V. Sustained reverse bias below 3.14 V causes only leakage current; clamping occurs above that threshold up to its 200 mW power limit.
Is this part suitable for use in automotive engine control units?
Yes - the MMBZ5226BW-7-F is explicitly qualified to AEC-Q101 standards, including high-temperature operating life, temperature cycling, and unbiased highly accelerated stress testing. Its −65 °C to +150 °C operating range and SOT323 moisture sensitivity level 1 make it appropriate for under-hood ECU voltage supervision and I/O protection.
How does the SOT323 package affect thermal performance compared to SOT23?
The SOT323 package has higher thermal resistance (625 °C/W vs. ~350–450 °C/W for typical SOT23) due to smaller pad area and reduced copper exposure. This requires strict adherence to Diodes' AP02001 recommended pad layout on FR4 to achieve rated 200 mW dissipation; exceeding ambient temperature limits or using inadequate copper will derate power capability.
Can this Zener be used as a substitute for a 3.3 V voltage reference IC in precision circuits?
No - while it provides 3.3 V regulation, its ±3% tolerance, 28 Ω dynamic impedance, and temperature coefficient (~−1.75 mV/°C for 3.3 V Zeners) limit accuracy versus dedicated bandgap references (e.g., REF3033). It is appropriate for coarse clamping or biasing, but not for sub-0.1% reference applications requiring low drift and low noise.
