Product details
Overview
MMBZ5234BT-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a 6.2 V, 150 mW surface-mount Zener diode in SOT-523 package, with nominal zener voltage tolerance ±5%, 7.0 Ω dynamic impedance at 20 mA test current, and 5.0 µA reverse leakage at 4.0 V. It provides precision voltage regulation in low-power signal conditioning and power rail clamping circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MMBZ5234BT-7-F datasheet, MMBZ5234BT-7-F pinout, MMBZ5234BT-7-F application, or MMBZ5234BT-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage accuracy, low dynamic impedance for stable regulation, thermal resistance (833 °C/W), RoHS-compliant lead-free plating, and SOT-523 footprint compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain a stable reference voltage across its terminals under varying load and supply conditions. Its planar die construction ensures consistent voltage regulation and low leakage, while the ultra-small SOT-523 package supports automated placement in space-constrained applications.
The device delivers 6.2 V nominal regulation at 20 mA test current, with dynamic impedance of 7.0 Ω and maximum reverse leakage of 5.0 µA at 4.0 V. Power dissipation is rated at 150 mW at 25 °C ambient, derating linearly above 25 °C per the published curve (833 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 6.2 V nominal, 5.89–6.51 V range at 20 mA - defines precise clamping threshold for overvoltage protection |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 150 mW at TA = 25 °C - limits continuous regulation capability in compact layouts |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 7.0 Ω at IZT = 20 mA - ensures minimal output voltage variation under load transients |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 5.0 µA at VR = 4.0 V - guarantees low quiescent current in standby or sensing circuits |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 833 °C/W - dictates required copper area and airflow for thermal management on FR-4 boards |
| Package | SOT-523 - 1.6 mm × 0.8 mm footprint enables high-density routing in portable electronics |
Pinout & Package
SOT-523 is a 3-terminal ultra-small plastic surface-mount package with anode and cathode leads and no exposed pad. Polarity is marked by a cathode band on the top surface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Pin 1) | Current entry terminal in forward bias | Connected to lower-potential node during regulation; determines polarity of clamping action |
| Cathode (Pin 2) | Current exit terminal in forward bias; zener breakdown terminal in reverse bias | Connected to regulated node; voltage referenced to this terminal during operation |
| No-Connect (Pin 3) | Non-functional mechanical support lead | Not electrically connected internally; omitted in schematic symbol but present physically for mechanical stability |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-small SOT-523 footprint | Enables placement in <1.0 mm² board area - critical for wearables and hearing aids |
| Planar die construction | Delivers tight VZ tolerance (±5%) and repeatable breakdown characteristics across production lots |
| 150 mW power rating | Supports regulation in low-current analog rails (e.g., sensor bias, ADC reference buffers) without heatsinking |
| Lead-free / RoHS-compliant plating | Matte tin finish over Alloy 42 leadframe meets IPC-J-STD-020D Level 1 moisture sensitivity for reflow compatibility |

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage before breakdown for MMBZ5234BT-7-F?
The nominal zener voltage is 6.2 V, with guaranteed minimum and maximum values of 5.89 V and 6.51 V respectively at 20 mA test current. Breakdown begins gradually below 5.89 V, but stable regulation occurs only within the specified range under defined current conditions.
Can MMBZ5234BT-7-F be used in place of a 5.6 V Zener diode?
No - MMBZ5234BT-7-F is specifically rated for 6.2 V regulation and is not interchangeable with 5.6 V devices like MMBZ5232BT. Substituting alters clamping thresholds, potentially causing overvoltage stress or premature shutdown in sensitive circuits.
Is the SOT-523 package compatible with standard pick-and-place equipment?
Yes - the SOT-523 package is designed for automated assembly, with JEDEC-standard tape-and-reel packaging (3000 units per reel) and lead geometry compliant with MIL-STD-202 solderability requirements for high-yield placement.
Does MMBZ5234BT-7-F require external heat sinking?
No - with a thermal resistance of 833 °C/W and 150 mW power rating, it operates safely without heatsinking when mounted on standard FR-4 PCBs using the recommended pad layout. Derating applies above 25 °C ambient per the published power curve.
