Product details
Overview
MMBZ5233BW-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a 6.0 V, 200 mW surface-mount Zener diode in SOT323 package, with ±5% tolerance (5.70–6.30 V), 7.0 Ω dynamic impedance at 20 mA test current, and ≤5.0 μA reverse leakage at 3.5 V. It provides precision voltage regulation in low-power biasing and reference circuits for automotive ECUs and industrial sensor signal conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the MMBZ5233BW-7-F datasheet, MMBZ5233BW-7-F pinout, MMBZ5233BW-7-F application, or MMBZ5233BW-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance (625 °C/W), RoHS/Green compliance, AEC-Q101 qualification, and SOT323 footprint compatibility with automated assembly.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable voltage across its terminals under varying load or supply conditions. Its 200 mW power rating and 625 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance define safe operating limits on standard FR4 PCBs with recommended pad layout.
The device exhibits 7.0 Ω Zener impedance at IZT = 20 mA and ≤1600 Ω at knee current (IZK = 0.25 mA), enabling predictable regulation down to microamp-level currents. It is fully lead-free, halogen- and antimony-free, and qualified to AEC-Q101 for high-reliability automotive applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage (VR) this Zener diode can withstand before breakdown?
The MMBZ5233BW-7-F has a nominal Zener voltage of 6.0 V with a guaranteed range of 5.70–6.30 V at 20 mA test current. Its reverse breakdown occurs within this range; it is not rated for sustained operation above 6.30 V. The absolute maximum non-repetitive peak reverse voltage is not specified separately - operation beyond the Zener range risks irreversible damage.
Is this part suitable for use in high-humidity environments like under-hood automotive applications?
Yes. The MMBZ5233BW-7-F is qualified to AEC-Q101 and packaged in UL 94V-0 mold compound with moisture sensitivity level 1 per J-STD-020D. Its matte tin-plated terminals and green molding compound resist corrosion and delamination under 85°C/85% RH stress testing, making it suitable for under-hood engine control modules.
Can this Zener diode be used in place of a 6.2 V part like MMBZ5234BW-7-F?
No - the MMBZ5233BW-7-F (6.0 V) and MMBZ5234BW-7-F (6.2 V) have distinct Zener voltage specifications and marking codes (KE3 vs. KE4). Substitution alters reference voltage by 0.2 V, potentially causing ADC scaling errors or regulator instability. Use only if system tolerance accommodates this shift and validation confirms functional equivalence.
Does this device require a heatsink for 200 mW continuous operation?
No external heatsink is required. At 200 mW dissipation and 625 °C/W thermal resistance, junction temperature rise is 125°C above ambient. With max TJ = +150°C and typical ambient ≤+25°C, operation remains within spec on FR4 PCB using Diodes' AP02001 recommended pad layout - no additional thermal management needed.
