Product details
Overview
MMBZ5243BW-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 13 V, 200 mW surface-mount Zener diode in SOT323 package, rated for ±5% tolerance (12.35–13.65 V), with 9.5 mA test current, 13 Ω dynamic impedance at 9.5 mA, and 0.5 μA reverse leakage at 9.9 V. It provides precision voltage regulation in low-power biasing and reference circuits for automotive ECUs and industrial sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the MMBZ5243BW-7 datasheet, MMBZ5243BW-7 pinout, MMBZ5243BW-7 application, or MMBZ5243BW-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, low leakage at rated VR, thermal resistance (625 °C/W), AEC-Q101 qualification, and SOT323 footprint compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable voltage across its terminals under varying load and temperature conditions. Its 13 V nominal Zener voltage is specified at 9.5 mA test current, with dynamic impedance of 13 Ω measured at 1 kHz, ensuring predictable regulation performance in feedback networks.
The device is constructed using planar epitaxial technology, housed in a halogen- and antimony-free "Green" molded plastic SOT323 case rated UL 94V-0, and qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive-grade reliability across –65 °C to +150 °C operating range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Nominal Zener Voltage | 13 V (12.35–13.65 V range at 9.5 mA - defines regulation setpoint for voltage reference design) |
| Power Dissipation | 200 mW (maximum continuous power at 25 °C ambient - limits usable current in linear regulator shunt paths) |
| Zener Impedance | 13 Ω @ 9.5 mA (low dynamic resistance ensures minimal output voltage variation under load transients) |
| Reverse Leakage Current | 0.5 μA @ 9.9 V (ultra-low leakage preserves accuracy in high-impedance bias networks) |
| Thermal Resistance | 625 °C/W (junction-to-ambient - determines temperature rise per mW dissipated on FR4 board) |
| Operating Temperature | –65 °C to +150 °C (AEC-Q101 qualified - supports under-hood and industrial control environments) |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT323 - 3-terminal surface-mount plastic package with gull-wing leads, 0.006 g mass, moisture sensitivity level 1, matte tin-plated Alloy 42 leadframe.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Pin 1) | Reverse-biased cathode connection point | Connected to lower-potential node in shunt regulator; polarity must match schematic symbol orientation |
| Cathode (Pin 2) | Zener breakdown terminal | Connected to regulated voltage rail; carries full Zener current during regulation |
| NC / Heat Sink Pad (Pin 3) | Non-connected internal die attach pad | Not electrically connected; may be grounded for thermal relief but must remain floating per datasheet |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive electronics including engine control modules and body controllers |
| Halogen- and antimony-free "Green" compound | Meets <900 ppm Br, <900 ppm Cl, <1000 ppm Sb - compliant with strict environmental manufacturing standards |
| SOT323 footprint | Enables automated placement and reflow soldering on high-density PCBs without lead bending or alignment issues |
| Low 0.5 μA leakage at 9.9 V | Minimizes error in precision voltage references and high-impedance sensor biasing circuits |

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-C13-7-F | Same 13 V nominal, 5% tolerance, but 350 mW power rating and SOT23 package | Higher power handling allows >15 mA continuous operation; larger footprint requires layout revision | Select when higher current capability or legacy SOT23 compatibility is required |
| MMBZ5243BS-7-F | Identical electrical specs but SOT363 dual-diode variant with shared cathode | Enables dual-rail clamping or matched reference pairs; adds second anode terminal | Select when space-constrained designs require two matched 13 V Zeners in one footprint |
Compared with BZX84-C13-7-F and MMBZ5243BS-7-F, MMBZ5243BW-7 offers optimal balance of AEC-Q101 compliance, SOT323 miniaturization, and ultra-low leakage - making it preferred for new automotive and portable medical designs where footprint and reliability are prioritized over raw power headroom.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage (VR) at which MMBZ5243BW-7 guarantees ≤0.5 μA leakage?
The datasheet specifies 0.5 μA maximum reverse leakage current at VR = 9.9 V. This value is measured under standard test conditions (TA = +25 °C) and defines the upper bound of leakage before entering significant breakdown conduction - critical for high-impedance reference node integrity.
Can MMBZ5243BW-7 be used in place of a 12 V Zener diode in a voltage clamp circuit?
No - MMBZ5243BW-7 is a 13 V Zener (12.35–13.65 V range). Substituting it for a 12 V part would raise the clamping threshold by ~1 V, potentially allowing damaging overvoltage to reach downstream components. Use MMBZ5242BW-7 (12 V) instead for exact replacement.
Is the SOT323 package of MMBZ5243BW-7 compatible with standard reflow profiles for lead-free soldering?
Yes - the device is fully RoHS-compliant with matte tin plating and qualified for lead-free reflow per J-STD-020D Level 1 moisture sensitivity. Standard IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 Class 3 peak profile (260 °C max) is supported without degradation.
Does MMBZ5243BW-7 have a specified capacitance value for high-frequency noise filtering applications?
No - the datasheet does not list junction capacitance (CJ) for MMBZ5243BW-7. While Figure 4 shows typical total capacitance vs. Zener voltage (≈15 pF at 13 V), this is extrapolated from adjacent parts and not guaranteed. For noise filtering, use a dedicated RF capacitor or TVS diode with published Cj.
