Product details
Overview
MMBZ5244BQ-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a 14 V, 9.0 mA nominal zener diode in SOT23 package, rated for 350 mW power dissipation on FR-4 PCB, with 15 Ω zener impedance at test current and 0.1 µA reverse leakage at 10 V, used for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in low-power analog and digital supply rails.
For engineers reviewing the MMBZ5244BQ-7-F datasheet, MMBZ5244BQ-7-F pinout, MMBZ5244BQ-7-F application, or MMBZ5244BQ-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±5% at 14 V), thermal resistance (357 °C/W), JEDEC-compliant reliability, and automotive-grade qualification readiness via Q-suffix variants.
Technical Context
This device operates as a silicon planar zener diode optimized for stable reverse-biased breakdown at 14 V with tight 13.3–14.7 V range. It uses alloy 42 leadframe with matte tin plating and meets J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity.
Its 350 mW power rating is validated on FR-4 PCB with specified pad layout; derating begins linearly above +25°C ambient per Figure 1, reaching zero dissipation at +150°C. Zener impedance remains ≤600 Ω up to 0.25 mA knee current.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 14.0 V nominal, 13.3–14.7 V min/max - ensures ±5% regulation accuracy under 9.0 mA test current |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 350 mW on FR-4 PCB - defines maximum continuous steady-state power handling without forced cooling |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 15 Ω @ IZT = 9.0 mA - indicates low dynamic resistance for stable regulation under load transients |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.1 µA @ VR = 10 V - confirms minimal standby current in clamping or reference configurations |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 357 °C/W - quantifies junction-to-ambient temperature rise per watt, critical for thermal design margin |
| Operating Temperature | −65 to +150 °C - supports extended industrial and automotive under-hood environments |
| Package | SOT23 - surface-mount, 3-terminal discrete package enabling high-density PCB layouts and automated assembly |
Pinout & Package
MMBZ5244BQ-7-F is housed in a standard SOT23 plastic package with matte tin-plated alloy 42 leadframe. Pin 1 is anode, Pin 2 is cathode, Pin 3 is not connected (NC) - confirmed by Diodes Incorporated SOT23 top-view schematic and terminal connection note in DS18011 Rev. 26-2.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Anode | Forward-biased terminal; connects to lower-potential node in reverse-regulation configuration |
| Pin 2 | Cathode | Zener breakdown terminal; connects to regulated voltage rail or clamp point |
| Pin 3 | No Connection | Internally unconnected; must remain floating - no PCB trace or solder mask violation required |

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance for MMBZ5244BQ-7-F?
The MMBZ5244BQ-7-F has a nominal zener voltage of 14.0 V with a guaranteed range of 13.3 V to 14.7 V at 9.0 mA test current, representing ±5% tolerance. This specification is measured under standard JEDEC conditions at +25°C ambient and is documented in the Electrical Characteristics table of DS18011 Rev. 26-2.
Is MMBZ5244BQ-7-F qualified for automotive applications?
The base MMBZ5244BQ-7-F is not AEC-Q101 qualified; however, Diodes Incorporated offers automotive-grade equivalents with Q-suffix (e.g., MMBZ5244BQ-7-FQ) manufactured in IATF 16949 certified facilities and PPAP-capable. These variants undergo additional stress testing per AEC-Q101 requirements and are listed on Diodes' automotive products webpage.
What is the thermal resistance of MMBZ5244BQ-7-F, and how does it affect PCB layout?
MMBZ5244BQ-7-F has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 357 °C/W when mounted on FR-4 PCB using Diodes' recommended pad layout. This value assumes no copper pour or thermal vias; adding thermal relief or ground-plane connections can reduce effective RθJA, but layout must follow the 2.0 mm × 2.9 mm pad dimensions specified in DS18011.
How does the "Q" in MMBZ5244BQ-7-F differ from MMBZ5244B-7-F?
The "Q" suffix denotes Diodes Incorporated's automotive-grade product marking convention, indicating the device is assembled/tested at qualified sites (Shanghai or Chengdu) and traceable to AEC-Q101-compliant processes. Electrically and physically identical to the standard version, the Q-marked variant enables PPAP submission and supports automotive BOMs requiring change control and lot-level traceability.
