Product details
Overview
MMBZ5237BTS-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a triple-surface-mount Zener diode array in SOT363 package, providing three isolated 8.2 V ±5% Zener references with 200 mW total power dissipation, 8 Ω dynamic impedance at 20 mA, and ≤3 µA reverse leakage at 6.5 V. It serves precision voltage clamping and regulation in compact DC power rails and signal conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MMBZ5237BTS-7-F datasheet, MMBZ5237BTS-7-F pinout, MMBZ5237BTS-7-F application, or MMBZ5237BTS-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±5%), low dynamic impedance (8 Ω @ 20 mA), triple-isolated topology in ultra-small SOT363, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
This device integrates three electrically isolated Zener diodes in a single SOT363 package, each rated for 8.2 V nominal breakdown with tight 7.79–8.61 V range at 20 mA test current. It operates within –65°C to +150°C ambient, with thermal resistance of 625°C/W and derated power above +25°C per Figure 1.
The array supports low-capacitance operation (typ. <25 pF at 0 V bias) and exhibits stable reverse leakage (<3 µA at VR = 6.5 V), making it suitable for noise-sensitive analog reference and overvoltage protection where space-constrained PCB layout demands multi-channel clamping without cross-coupling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage | 8.2 V nominal, 7.79–8.61 V range at 20 mA - ensures precise clamping threshold across temperature and production lot |
| Power Dissipation | 200 mW total - limits thermal rise in dense layouts; requires derating above +25°C per published curve |
| Zener Impedance | 8 Ω at IZT = 20 mA - maintains stable regulation under varying load current in feedback paths |
| Reverse Leakage | ≤3 µA at VR = 6.5 V - minimizes quiescent current loss in battery-powered or low-power monitoring circuits |
| Package | SOT363 - 6-pin, 2.1 mm × 1.3 mm footprint enables high-density routing and automated placement |
| Qualification | AEC-Q101 qualified - validated for automotive electronics requiring high-reliability stress testing |
Pinout & Package
SOT363 package: 6-pin, dual-row surface-mount outline with 0.65 mm pitch; molded plastic body, UL 94V-0 rated, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1 | Anode of Zener 1 | Connects to cathode of external series resistor for first Zener clamp path |
| A2 | Anode of Zener 2 | Independent anode node enabling separate biasing for second regulation channel |
| A3 | Anode of Zener 3 | Third isolated anode terminal; no internal connection to A1 or A2 |
| C1 | Cathode of Zener 1 | Reference output node for first 8.2 V rail; tied to system ground or feedback point |
| C2 | Cathode of Zener 2 | Second independent regulated output; supports dual-rail sensing or redundancy |
| C3 | Cathode of Zener 3 | Third cathode node; enables triple-voltage monitoring without shared cathode parasitics |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode array applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C8V2LT1G | Single 8.2 V Zener in SOT-23; no multi-diode integration | Requires three separate placements and routing; higher board area and assembly cost | Select when only one reference is needed or when thermal separation between diodes is critical |
| MMBZ5237BS-7-F | Same electrical specs but in SOT-323 (single-diode variant); not triple-isolated | Lacks integrated triple topology - cannot replace MMBZ5237BTS-7-F without redesign | Use only for single-channel replacement; not functionally equivalent due to missing dual-anode/cathode isolation |
Compared with BZX84-C8V2LT1G and MMBZ5237BS-7-F, MMBZ5237BTS-7-F uniquely delivers three fully isolated 8.2 V Zeners in one SOT363 footprint-reducing component count by 2/3, minimizing inter-channel coupling, and enabling tighter layout control in space-constrained automotive and medical systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for MMBZ5237BTS-7-F?
The maximum reverse leakage current is 3.0 µA at VR = 6.5 V, measured at TA = +25°C. This value remains stable across the full operating temperature range (–65°C to +150°C) and ensures minimal standby power loss in always-on monitoring circuits.
Can MMBZ5237BTS-7-F be used in place of a single Zener diode?
Yes - any one of its three isolated Zener elements (e.g., A1/C1 pair) functions identically to a discrete 8.2 V Zener. However, unused anodes and cathodes must remain unconnected; floating terminals do not affect performance or reliability.
Is thermal derating required for continuous operation above 25°C?
Yes - power dissipation must be linearly derated above +25°C at 0.32 mW/°C (per Figure 1), reaching zero at +150°C. For example, at +85°C ambient, max allowable power drops to 128 mW (200 mW − 0.32 mW/°C × 60°C).
Does the SOT363 package support standard reflow profiles?
Yes - the device is qualified for lead-free reflow per JEDEC J-STD-020D Level 1, with peak temperature up to 260°C. Its matte tin finish and Alloy 42 leadframe ensure robust solder joint formation without voiding or dewetting.
