Product details
Overview
MMBZ5235BW-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a 6.8 V, 200 mW surface-mount Zener diode in SOT323 package, designed for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in low-power analog circuits. It delivers 5.0 µA reverse leakage at 5.0 V, 5.0 Ω dynamic impedance at 20 mA test current, and operates across –65°C to +150°C.
For engineers reviewing the MMBZ5235BW-7-F datasheet, MMBZ5235BW-7-F pinout, MMBZ5235BW-7-F application, or MMBZ5235BW-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include nominal Zener voltage tolerance (±5%), thermal resistance (625°C/W), AEC-Q101 qualification, lead-free/Green compliance, and SOT323 footprint compatibility with automated assembly.
Technical Context
This Zener diode functions as a two-terminal voltage reference device operating in reverse breakdown mode. Its 6.8 V nominal Zener voltage is specified at 20 mA test current (IZT), with tight ±5% tolerance (6.46–7.14 V) and low dynamic impedance (5.0 Ω at 1 kHz), enabling stable regulation under varying load conditions.
Designed for high-reliability applications, it meets AEC-Q101 stress-test requirements and features halogen/antimony-free "Green" molding compound (UL 94V-0), matte tin-plated Alloy 42 leads, and moisture sensitivity level 1 - ensuring robust performance in automotive and industrial environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (Nominal) | 6.8 V - precise reference point for clamping or regulation at typical bias current |
| Zener Voltage Range | 6.46 V to 7.14 V - ±5% tolerance ensures predictable trip point in protection circuits |
| Zener Test Current | 20 mA - standard operating point where voltage and impedance are guaranteed |
| Zener Impedance | 5.0 Ω at 1 kHz - low dynamic resistance minimizes output voltage variation under load transients |
| Power Dissipation | 200 mW - maximum continuous power handling on FR4 board with recommended pad layout |
| Reverse Leakage | 3.0 µA at VR = 5.0 V - low leakage preserves signal integrity in high-impedance bias networks |
| Operating Temp | –65°C to +150°C - wide junction temperature range supports under-hood and industrial deployment |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT323 - ultra-small plastic surface-mount case (2.10 mm × 1.30 mm × 0.90 mm), optimized for space-constrained PCBs and compatible with reflow soldering.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Pin 1) | Forward conduction terminal / cathode-side reference ground | Connected to lower-potential node in reverse-biased configuration; defines polarity for Zener operation |
| Cathode (Pin 2) | Zener breakdown terminal / regulated output node | Connected to higher-potential rail; voltage at this pin is clamped to 6.8 V when reverse biased above breakdown |
| Case / Pin 3 | No internal connection | Non-functional thermal pad; electrically isolated - no circuit role or signal routing required |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C6V8LT1G | Same 6.8 V nominal, SOT23 package, 350 mW rating, 15 Ω Zz at 5 mA | Higher power rating but larger footprint and higher impedance at low current | Select when higher surge tolerance or legacy SOT23 layout reuse is required |
| MMSZ5235ET1G | Same 6.8 V nominal, SOD-123 package, 500 mW rating, 7 Ω Zz at 20 mA | Larger package, higher power, slightly higher impedance than MMBZ5235BW-7-F | Select when thermal margin >200 mW or hand-soldering is needed |
Compared with BZX84-C6V8LT1G and MMSZ5235ET1G, MMBZ5235BW-7-F offers the smallest footprint (SOT323), lowest Zener impedance (5.0 Ω), and AEC-Q101 qualification - making it optimal for space- and reliability-critical automotive and portable designs where 200 mW dissipation suffices.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage before breakdown for MMBZ5235BW-7-F?
The MMBZ5235BW-7-F exhibits sharp reverse breakdown at 6.46 V minimum and 7.14 V maximum, defined at 20 mA test current (IZT). Below 5.0 V reverse bias, leakage remains ≤3.0 µA - confirming stable non-conducting behavior until reaching the specified Zener range.
Does MMBZ5235BW-7-F require a series current-limiting resistor in all applications?
Yes - as a shunt regulator, it must be used with an external series resistor to limit current during regulation. For example, with a 9 V supply and 6.8 V output, a 100 Ω resistor limits current to ~22 mA, keeping power within the 200 mW rating and preventing thermal runaway.
Is MMBZ5235BW-7-F suitable for ESD protection per IEC 61000-4-2?
No - while it provides basic overvoltage clamping, MMBZ5235BW-7-F is not rated for ESD pulse handling. Its peak surge power is unspecified for 8/20 µs transients; dedicated TVS diodes like DZ23C6V8 are required for IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 compliance.
How does the SOT323 package affect thermal performance compared to SOD-123?
The SOT323 package has higher thermal resistance (625°C/W vs. ~300°C/W for SOD-123), limiting continuous power dissipation to 200 mW on FR4. This requires careful PCB layout - using minimum 10 mm² copper pour on both sides - to avoid exceeding 150°C junction temperature at full rated power.
