Product details
Overview
MMBZ5236B-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a 7.5V ±4% tolerance, 350mW surface-mount Zener diode in SOT23 package, designed for precision voltage regulation and transient overvoltage clamping in low-power analog and digital supply rails. It delivers 6Ω dynamic impedance at 20mA test current, supports ≤3.0µA reverse leakage at 6.0V, and operates across –65°C to +150°C.
For engineers reviewing the MMBZ5236B-7-F datasheet, MMBZ5236B-7-F pinout, MMBZ5236B-7-F application, or MMBZ5236B-7-F equivalent, this part serves as a compact, RoHS-compliant, JEDEC-qualified voltage reference for power rail stabilization, ESD protection interface buffering, and bias network calibration in space-constrained PCB designs.
Technical Context
This Zener diode uses planar die construction for stable breakdown characteristics and low thermal drift. Its 7.5V nominal Zener voltage is specified at 20mA (IZT), with guaranteed minimum/maximum bounds of 7.13V–7.88V and a maximum Zener impedance of 6Ω at IZT and 500Ω at 0.25mA (IZK).
Thermal resistance is 357°C/W on FR-4 PCB with recommended pad layout; power derating begins linearly above +25°C ambient, reaching zero dissipation at +150°C. Reverse leakage remains ≤3.0µA up to VR = 6.0V, ensuring minimal standby current draw in bias networks.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 7.5V nominal, 7.13–7.88V range at 20mA - defines precise clamping threshold for 5V/12V rail monitoring and feedback loops |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 350mW on FR-4 - supports continuous regulation in low-current bias networks without heatsinking |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 6Ω max at 20mA - ensures tight voltage regulation under varying load conditions in reference circuits |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤3.0µA at VR = 6.0V - minimizes quiescent current in battery-powered sensor biasing and level-shifting |
| Operating Temp Range | –65°C to +150°C - enables use in automotive engine control modules and industrial motor drive feedback paths |
| Package | SOT23 - 3-pin surface-mount footprint compatible with automated pick-and-place and reflow assembly |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT23 - molded plastic, green compound (UL 94V-0), 0.008g weight, matte tin-plated Alloy 42 leadframe, moisture sensitivity Level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Pin 1) | Cathode-referenced current sink | Connected to ground or lower-potential node; enables reverse-biased operation for voltage clamping |
| Cathode (Pin 2) | Zener voltage reference node | Connected to regulated rail or signal line; establishes stable 7.5V reference when reverse-biased |
| No-Connect (Pin 3) | Non-functional terminal | Internally unconnected; must remain floating or tied to ground per layout best practices to avoid parasitic coupling |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C7V5 | Same 7.5V nominal, but 300mW rating and higher ZZT (15Ω @ 5mA); SOT23 package with different marking scheme | Lower power handling limits use in sustained clamp scenarios; requires derating above +70°C ambient | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs thermal margin needs and legacy BOM compatibility is required |
| MMBZ5236BS-7-F | Same electrical specs but SOD-323 package (smaller footprint, 0.003g weight); identical Zener characteristics and RoHS compliance | Higher board density achievable, but reduced thermal mass lowers peak pulse energy absorption capability | Select for ultra-compact wearables or hearing aid PCBs where space is constrained more than thermal performance |
Compared with BZX84-C7V5 and MMBZ5236BS-7-F, the MMBZ5236B-7-F offers superior thermal robustness (350mW vs. 300mW/200mW) and tighter impedance control (6Ω vs. 15Ω/8Ω), making it preferred for industrial power monitoring and automotive subsystems requiring extended temperature reliability.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for MMBZ5236B-7-F at 6.0V?
The maximum reverse leakage current is 3.0µA at VR = 6.0V and TA = +25°C, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This value is measured under DC conditions and remains stable across the full operating temperature range, supporting low-power bias network designs in battery-operated systems.
Can MMBZ5236B-7-F be used in place of a 6.8V Zener diode?
No - MMBZ5236B-7-F has a nominal Zener voltage of 7.5V (7.13–7.88V range), not 6.8V. Substituting it for a 6.8V device would raise the clamping threshold by ~10%, potentially exposing downstream components to overvoltage. Use MMBZ5235B-7-F (6.8V) instead for that voltage point.
Is the SOT23 package of MMBZ5236B-7-F compatible with standard reflow profiles?
Yes - the SOT23 package is qualified for lead-free reflow per J-STD-020, with moisture sensitivity Level 1. It withstands peak temperatures up to 260°C for ≤60 seconds and supports standard Pb-free reflow profiles (e.g., IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 Class 3), provided recommended pad layout and thermal relief are followed.
Does MMBZ5236B-7-F meet AEC-Q200 stress testing requirements?
No - MMBZ5236B-7-F is JEDEC-qualified for high reliability but not AEC-Q200 certified. For automotive applications requiring AEC-Q200 qualification, Diodes offers the automotive-grade Q-suffix variant MMBZ5236BQ-7-F, which undergoes additional temperature cycling, humidity bias, and mechanical shock testing.
