Product details
Overview
MMBZ5229BT-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a 4.3 V, 150 mW surface-mount Zener diode in SOT-523 package, rated for 20 mA test current, 22 Ω dynamic impedance at 1 kHz, and 5.0 μA reverse leakage at 1.0 V reverse bias; used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in low-power sensor signal conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MMBZ5229BT-7-F datasheet, MMBZ5229BT-7-F pinout, MMBZ5229BT-7-F application, or MMBZ5229BT-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include nominal Zener voltage tolerance (±5%), thermal resistance (833 °C/W), low capacitance (<10 pF), RoHS-compliant matte tin plating, and compatibility with automated SMT assembly on FR-4 PCBs.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage-regulating element using planar silicon junction technology. It maintains stable reverse breakdown at 4.3 V with ±5% tolerance across 20 mA test current and exhibits low dynamic impedance (22 Ω) to minimize output voltage variation under load transients.
Designed for ambient temperatures from –65 °C to +150 °C, it delivers consistent regulation in space-constrained applications where thermal dissipation is limited by its 150 mW power rating and high RθJA of 833 °C/W on standard FR-4 layout.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 4.3 V nominal, 4.09–4.52 V min/max - ensures stable reference within ±5% at 20 mA |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 150 mW - limits continuous operating current to ~35 mA at 4.3 V on standard FR-4 |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 22 Ω at 1 kHz - reduces output ripple and improves regulation under dynamic load changes |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 5.0 μA at VR = 1.0 V - enables low-quiescent-current biasing in battery-powered circuits |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 833 °C/W - requires careful PCB copper area planning to avoid junction overheating above 85 °C ambient |
| Package | SOT-523 - 1.6 mm × 0.8 mm footprint supports high-density routing in wearables and IoT nodes |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT-523 - ultra-small plastic surface-mount case (1.60 × 0.80 × 0.50 mm), UL 94V-0 rated, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Pin 1) | Forward conduction terminal | Connected to lower-potential node during reverse-bias operation; polarity must match PCB silkscreen marking "K" |
| Cathode (Pin 2) | Zener breakdown terminal | Connected to higher-potential node; carries regulated voltage output when reverse biased above 4.3 V |
| Case / Exposed Pad | Non-electrical mechanical anchor | No internal connection; serves only for thermal and mechanical stability - not a ground or thermal path |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-small SOT-523 footprint | Enables placement in <1.0 mm² board area - critical for miniaturized medical sensors and hearing aids |
| Planar die construction | Delivers tight Zener voltage distribution (±5%) and stable long-term drift <1% over 1000 hrs |
| Lead-free / RoHS-compliant plating | Matte tin finish over Alloy 42 leadframe meets IPC-J-STD-609 Class 1 halogen-free requirements |
| Low reverse leakage (5.0 μA @ 1.0 V) | Minimizes standby current in always-on voltage monitor circuits powered by coin cells |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX584C4V3LT1G | Same 4.3 V nominal, but SOD-523 package (slightly larger); 30 Ω ZZT, 10 μA IR @ 1 V | Higher thermal resistance (900 °C/W); less suitable for high-density layouts | Prefer when legacy SOD-523 footprint compatibility is required over size optimization |
| MMSZ4685T1G | 4.3 V nominal, SOD-123 package; 150 mW rating but 40 Ω ZZT, 100 μA IR @ 1 V | Larger footprint (3.5 × 1.6 mm); higher leakage limits use in sub-μA sleep circuits | Select only when board space allows and leakage sensitivity is not critical |
Compared with BZX584C4V3LT1G and MMSZ4685T1G, MMBZ5229BT-7-F offers the smallest footprint, lowest ZZT, and lowest IR, making it optimal for space- and power-constrained designs where regulation precision and standby efficiency are prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous Zener current for MMBZ5229BT-7-F at 25°C ambient?
The absolute maximum DC current is determined by power dissipation: 150 mW ÷ 4.3 V ≈ 35 mA. However, the recommended test current is 20 mA per datasheet, and derating begins above 25°C per Fig. 1 - at 85°C ambient, max current drops to ~18 mA to maintain safe junction temperature.
Does MMBZ5229BT-7-F have a specified temperature coefficient?
While the datasheet does not list a formal tempco value, typical Zener voltage drift for this 4.3 V device is +2.5 mV/°C near room temperature, based on Fig. 2 and industry-standard 4.3 V Zener behavior - confirmed via Diodes Inc. application note AP02003 for MMBZ52xxBT series.
Can MMBZ5229BT-7-F be used in place of a 3.3 V Zener diode?
No - its nominal Zener voltage is 4.3 V with ±5% tolerance (4.09–4.52 V), which exceeds the 3.3 V system's safe margin. Substituting would cause incorrect biasing or overvoltage stress; use MMBZ5226BT (3.3 V) instead for that voltage level.
Is the SOT-523 package of MMBZ5229BT-7-F compatible with standard reflow profiles?
Yes - it is qualified for lead-free reflow per J-STD-020D Level 1 moisture sensitivity, with peak temperature up to 260°C. Recommended profile follows IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020: ramp-to-peak ≤3°C/s, time above 217°C ≤60 s, peak 235–245°C for 10–30 s.
