Product details
Overview
MMBZ5235BS-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a dual isolated 200 mW surface-mount Zener diode in SOT-363 package, with nominal zener voltage 6.8 V (min 6.46 V, max 7.14 V) at 20 mA test current, 5 Ω zener impedance at IZT, and 3.0 μA reverse leakage at 5.0 V. It serves as precision voltage reference and overvoltage clamp in low-power analog signal conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MMBZ5235BS-7-F datasheet, MMBZ5235BS-7-F pinout, MMBZ5235BS-7-F application, or MMBZ5235BS-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance, dynamic impedance at operating current, thermal resistance (625 °C/W), and dual-diode isolation for bidirectional clamping or dual-rail reference use.
Technical Context
This device integrates two electrically isolated Zener diodes in a single SOT-363 package, enabling symmetrical voltage clamping or independent reference generation without cross-coupling. Its planar die construction ensures stable breakdown characteristics across temperature (-65 to +150 °C) and long-term reliability under pulsed stress.
Designed for automated SMT assembly, it uses matte tin-plated Alloy 42 leads and meets RoHS and Diodes Inc.'s "Green" policy requirements (halogen-free molding compound for date codes UO and newer). Moisture sensitivity level is rated Class 1 per J-STD-020D.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 6.8 V nominal, 6.46–7.14 V range at 20 mA - defines stable regulation point for low-current biasing |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 5 Ω at IZT = 20 mA - ensures minimal output voltage shift under load variation |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 3.0 μA at VR = 5.0 V - enables low-error reference in high-impedance feedback networks |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 200 mW at TA = 25 °C - limits continuous clamping energy in compact PCB layouts |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 625 °C/W on FR4 board - determines safe derating above ambient (see Fig. 1) |
| Operating Temperature | -65 to +150 °C - supports industrial and automotive under-hood sensor interface designs |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C6V8LT1G | Single Zener, SOT-23, 6.8 V ±5%, ZZT = 10 Ω, PD = 300 mW | Lacks dual isolation; requires two devices for same functionality | Select when board area is unconstrained and dual-diode isolation is unnecessary |
| MMBZ5235B-7-F | Same electrical specs but in SOT-23-3 (single Zener); no dual-diode capability | Cannot perform bidirectional clamping or independent reference generation | Choose only if design uses only one Zener and requires lower cost per unit |
Compared with BZX84-C6V8LT1G and MMBZ5235B-7-F, MMBZ5235BS-7-F uniquely delivers dual isolated Zener functionality in a single SOT-363 footprint-reducing component count by 50% and eliminating inter-device parameter mismatch in precision clamping applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse voltage that can be applied before breakdown?
The nominal zener voltage is 6.8 V with a tolerance band of 6.46–7.14 V at 20 mA test current. Breakdown occurs within this range under DC conditions; applying >7.14 V continuously exceeds specification and risks parametric shift or thermal runaway. Derating is required above 25 °C ambient per Fig. 1.
How does the dual-isolation architecture affect circuit layout?
The two Zener diodes share no internal substrate connection, allowing independent anode/cathode routing without leakage coupling. Layout must maintain ≥0.2 mm clearance between C1/A1 and C2/A2 traces to preserve isolation integrity, especially in high-impedance reference paths.
Can this device replace a single Zener diode in existing designs?
Yes, but only one diode (e.g., A1/C1) should be used while leaving C2/A2 unconnected; the second diode remains inactive. Pin compatibility with SOT-363 footprints allows drop-in replacement, though unused pins must remain unconnected per datasheet guidance.
What is the typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on standard FR4?
RθJA is 625 °C/W when mounted on FR4 with Diodes Inc.'s recommended pad layout (document AP02001.pdf). This value assumes 1-inch² copper pour; reducing copper area increases thermal resistance linearly-e.g., 0.25-inch² raises RθJA to ~950 °C/W.
