Product details
Overview
MMBZ5240BW-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 10 V, 200 mW surface-mount Zener diode in SOT323 package, rated for ±5% zener voltage tolerance at 20 mA test current, with 17 Ω zener impedance and 3.0 μA reverse leakage at 8.0 V, used for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in low-power analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MMBZ5240BW-7 datasheet, MMBZ5240BW-7 pinout, MMBZ5240BW-7 application, or MMBZ5240BW-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include nominal zener voltage (10 V), power rating (200 mW), zener impedance (17 Ω), reverse leakage (3.0 μA @ VR = 8.0 V), and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable reference voltage under varying load and temperature conditions. Its 10 V nominal zener voltage is specified at 20 mA test current, with tight ±5% tolerance (9.5–10.5 V) and low dynamic impedance (17 Ω at 1 kHz), enabling accurate clamping in signal conditioning and power rail supervision.
Designed for surface-mount assembly on FR4 PCBs with recommended pad layout per AP02001, it delivers thermal resistance of 625 °C/W and operates across –65 °C to +150 °C, meeting AEC-Q101 stress testing requirements for high-reliability automotive and industrial applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 10 V nominal, 9.5–10.5 V range at IZT = 20 mA - defines precise clamping threshold for 10 V rail protection |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 200 mW - limits continuous power handling in compact SOT323 footprint without forced cooling |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 17 Ω at f = 1 kHz - ensures minimal voltage deviation under small-signal AC load variations |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 3.0 μA at VR = 8.0 V - guarantees low standby current in battery-powered voltage monitor circuits |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 625 °C/W - determines junction temperature rise above ambient on standard FR4 board with defined pad layout |
| Operating Temperature | –65 °C to +150 °C - supports deployment in under-hood automotive and industrial control environments |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes - validated for automotive electronics per stress test requirements including HTGB, TCT, and HAST |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C10LT1G | Same 10 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, but 300 mW PD and 20 Ω ZZT; SOT23 package | Larger footprint; higher power margin but less space-efficient | Select when higher surge capability or legacy SOT23 board compatibility is required |
| MMSZ4686T1G | 10 V nominal, ±5%, 500 mW PD, 15 Ω ZZT; SOD-123 package | Higher power rating and lower impedance, but larger size and non-AEC-Q101 qualified | Prefer for non-automotive industrial designs needing tighter regulation under higher current loads |
Compared with BZX84-C10LT1G and MMSZ4686T1G, MMBZ5240BW-7 offers optimal balance of AEC-Q101 qualification, SOT323 miniaturization, and 200 mW power handling-making it the preferred choice for space-constrained automotive modules where reliability and footprint are jointly critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage (VR) at which leakage current is guaranteed?
The datasheet specifies maximum reverse leakage current of 3.0 μA at VR = 8.0 V. This is the highest reverse voltage at which leakage is tested and guaranteed - exceeding 8.0 V enters the zener breakdown region where controlled conduction begins.
Is MMBZ5240BW-7 suitable for bidirectional ESD protection?
No - it is a unidirectional Zener diode optimized for reverse-bias voltage regulation. For bidirectional ESD protection, TVS diodes such as D3V3M1U2SOT-7 or SP1003-01UTG are required, as they clamp symmetrically in both polarities.
How does the 625 °C/W thermal resistance impact PCB layout?
This value assumes use of Diodes' recommended pad layout (AP02001). Deviating from that layout - especially reducing copper area or omitting thermal vias - will increase actual RθJA, risking thermal runaway at sustained 200 mW dissipation.
Does the "-7" suffix indicate tape-and-reel packaging only?
Yes - the "-7" denotes 3000-unit tape-and-reel packaging per the ordering information table. The "-F" suffix (e.g., MMBZ5240BW-7-F) adds RoHS-compliant plating confirmation, but Diodes ships all -7 parts as lead-free and green by default per DS31037 Rev. 14.
