Product details
Overview
MMBZ5244B-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a 14 V, 350 mW surface-mount Zener diode in SOT23 package, rated for 9.0 mA test current with 15 Ω dynamic impedance at 1 kHz and 0.1 µA reverse leakage at 10 V. It provides precision voltage regulation in low-power analog reference and overvoltage protection circuits on FR-4 PCBs.
For engineers reviewing the MMBZ5244B-7-F datasheet, MMBZ5244B-7-F pinout, MMBZ5244B-7-F application, or MMBZ5244B-7-F equivalent, this part is selected for stable 14 V clamping in space-constrained DC bias networks, ESD-tolerant sensor interfaces, and automotive-grade power rail supervision where JEDEC-compliant reliability and RoHS/Green compliance are required.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with tightly controlled nominal voltage (13.3–14.7 V), specified at IZT = 9.0 mA. Its 15 Ω Zener impedance at 1 kHz ensures minimal voltage deviation under small-signal AC load variations.
The device exhibits ultra-low reverse leakage (≤0.1 µA at VR = 10 V) and thermal resistance of 357 °C/W on FR-4, enabling predictable derating up to +150 °C ambient per Figure 1 in DS18011 Rev. 26-2.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 14.0 V nominal, 13.3–14.7 V range at 9.0 mA - defines precise clamping threshold for 12–15 V rail monitoring |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 350 mW on FR-4 PCB - supports continuous regulation in low-current bias networks without heatsinking |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 15 Ω at 1 kHz, 9.0 mA - ensures <±15 mV output shift under ±150 µA AC load perturbation |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤0.1 µA at VR = 10 V - prevents measurable current draw in high-impedance voltage divider references |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 357 °C/W - enables operation up to +150 °C ambient when mounted per recommended pad layout |
| Package | SOT23 - 3-pin surface-mount footprint (2.9 × 1.3 × 1.0 mm) compatible with automated reflow assembly |
Pinout & Package
MMBZ5244B-7-F uses the standard SOT23 package with three terminals: Anode (Pin 1), Cathode (Pin 2), and unused (Pin 3). The cathode is marked by a band on the top surface; Pin 3 is internally unconnected and electrically isolated.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Anode | Connected to lower-potential node in reverse-biased configuration; must be held ≤10 V below cathode for regulation |
| Pin 2 | Cathode | Connected to regulated voltage node; carries full Zener current during clamping; marked by band |
| Pin 3 | NC (No Connect) | Internally unconnected; no electrical function; must remain floating or grounded per layout best practice |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Planar die construction | Enables tight VZ tolerance (±5%) and stable long-term voltage drift under thermal cycling |
| 350 mW dissipation on FR-4 | Eliminates need for external heat spreading in 0.1–1 mA bias applications like op-amp reference dividers |
| Matte tin finish on Alloy 42 leadframe | Ensures reliable solder wetting and intermetallic formation in Pb-free reflow profiles (J-STD-020 Level 1) |
| Halogen- and antimony-free "Green" compound | Meets IPC-1752A reporting requirements with Br+Cl ≤1500 ppm and Sb ≤1000 ppm |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C15-7-F | 15 V nominal (14.3–15.8 V), 300 mW PD, 30 Ω ZZT at 5 mA | Higher VZ tolerance and impedance reduce accuracy in 14 V-critical rails | Select only if system tolerates +1 V clamping offset and higher dynamic error |
| MMBZ5245B-7-F | 15 V nominal (14.25–15.75 V), identical package, 16 Ω ZZT, 0.1 µA IR | 1 V higher regulation point shifts bias point in fixed-resistor divider networks | Use when circuit requires exact 15 V reference; verify resistor recalibration for 14 V target |
Compared with BZX84-C15-7-F and MMBZ5245B-7-F, MMBZ5244B-7-F delivers tighter 14 V regulation with lower impedance and matched thermal performance, making it optimal for designs where 14.0 V ±0.7 V is mandatory and leakage must stay below 0.1 µA.

FAQ
What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation for MMBZ5244B-7-F on FR-4?
The device is rated for 350 mW continuous power dissipation when mounted on FR-4 PCB with Diodes' recommended pad layout (Document DS18011, Note 6). Derating begins linearly above +25°C ambient, reaching zero dissipation at +150°C per Figure 1.
Does MMBZ5244B-7-F meet automotive qualification standards?
MMBZ5244B-7-F is qualified to JEDEC reliability standards referenced in AEC-Q but is not an AEC-Q200-qualified automotive grade part. For automotive applications, Diodes offers Q-suffix variants (e.g., MMBZ5244BQ-7-F) manufactured in IATF 16949-certified facilities.
How is the cathode identified on the SOT23 package?
The cathode is marked by a visible band on the top surface of the SOT23 package, aligned with Pin 2. Pin 1 is the anode, located adjacent to the band; Pin 3 is unconnected and positioned opposite the band end.
What is the typical Zener impedance at low current (<1 mA)?
At IZ = 0.25 mA, the dynamic impedance (ZZK) is 600 Ω (per Electrical Characteristics Table, DS18011 p.3). This value reflects higher impedance in the knee region, critical for low-current reference stability analysis.
