Product details
Overview
MMBZ5239B-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 9.1V, 350mW surface-mount Zener diode in SOT23 package, designed for precision voltage regulation and transient overvoltage clamping in low-power analog and digital circuits. It delivers ±5% zener voltage tolerance (8.65–9.56V), 10Ω dynamic impedance at 20mA test current, and maintains ≤3µA reverse leakage at 7.0V, enabling stable reference generation in battery-powered sensors and I/O protection networks.
For engineers reviewing the MMBZ5239B-7 datasheet, MMBZ5239B-7 pinout, MMBZ5239B-7 application, or MMBZ5239B-7 equivalent, this part supports critical design tasks including low-voltage rail stabilization, ESD-sensitive interface clamping, and compact voltage reference design where thermal derating on FR-4 PCBs and RoHS-compliant lead-free assembly are required.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with a nominal zener voltage of 9.1V at 20mA test current (IZT), exhibiting 10Ω zener impedance (ZZT) and 600Ω knee impedance (ZZK) at 0.25mA. Its thermal resistance is 357°C/W when mounted on FR-4 PCB with recommended pad layout.
The device is rated for continuous power dissipation of 350mW at 25°C ambient, derating linearly above 25°C per Figure 1, and supports operation across -65°C to +150°C junction temperature range. It features planar die construction and matte tin-plated alloy 42 leadframe for reliable solderability and high-reliability performance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 9.1V nominal (8.65–9.56V range); enables precise 9V rail clamping or reference without external trimming. |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 350mW on FR-4 PCB; supports sustained regulation in space-constrained, low-power signal chains. |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 10Ω @ IZT = 20mA; ensures minimal output voltage variation under load changes in feedback paths. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C9V1 (Nexperia) | Same 9.1V nominal, 300mW rating, SOT23 package; higher ZZT (15Ω) and wider VZ tolerance (±6%). | Limited to non-critical references where 500mV regulation window is acceptable. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs impedance and tolerance requirements. |
| MMBZ5239BS-7-F (Diodes Inc.) | Same electrical specs but with enhanced moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1 vs. MSL 1 in base part); identical marking and packaging. | No functional difference-intended for high-humidity assembly environments requiring stricter floor-life control. | Choose only if J-STD-020 MSL compliance documentation is contractually mandated. |
Compared with BZX84-C9V1 and MMBZ5239BS-7-F, the MMBZ5239B-7 offers tighter voltage tolerance and lower impedance for precision regulation, while maintaining identical form factor and JEDEC reliability-making it optimal for designs where reference accuracy and thermal stability are prioritized over marginal cost savings or humidity-specific handling.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous Zener current for MMBZ5239B-7 at 75°C ambient?
At 75°C ambient, the power derating curve (Figure 1) reduces allowable dissipation to approximately 250mW. With VZ = 9.1V, the maximum continuous Zener current is ~27.5mA-calculated as PD_max / VZ. Exceeding this risks thermal runaway due to increased junction temperature.
Can MMBZ5239B-7 be used in series for higher voltage regulation?
No-MMBZ5239B-7 is not characterized or guaranteed for series operation. Zener voltage tolerances and impedance mismatches between devices cause uneven voltage sharing, risking premature failure of one diode. Use a single higher-voltage Zener or dedicated programmable reference IC instead.
Is the SOT23 pinout standardized across all manufacturers for this part?
Yes-the SOT23 package for Zener diodes follows JEDEC MO-215 standard: Pin 1 = Anode, Pin 2 = Cathode, Pin 3 = NC. Diodes Incorporated confirms this configuration in DS18011 Rev. 26, and it matches industry-standard SOT23 Zener pinouts from ON Semiconductor, Nexperia, and Vishay.
Does MMBZ5239B-7 meet AEC-Q200 requirements for passive components?
No-MMBZ5239B-7 is qualified to JEDEC high-reliability standards referenced in AEC-Q, but it is not AEC-Q200 certified. For automotive-grade passive compliance, select the Q-suffix variant (e.g., MMBZ5239BQ-7-F), which undergoes full AEC-Q200 stress testing and is manufactured in IATF 16949-certified facilities.
