Product details
Overview
MMBZ5245BW-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 15 V, 200 mW surface-mount Zener diode in SOT323 package, rated for 8.5 mA test current, 16 Ω dynamic impedance at 1 kHz, and 0.1 μA reverse leakage at 11 V, used for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in low-power analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MMBZ5245BW-7 datasheet, MMBZ5245BW-7 pinout, MMBZ5245BW-7 application, or MMBZ5245BW-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include nominal Zener voltage tolerance (±5%), thermal resistance (625 °C/W), AEC-Q101 qualification, green molding compound compliance, and SOT323 footprint compatibility with automated assembly.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable reference voltage under varying load and temperature conditions. Its 15 V nominal Zener voltage is specified at 8.5 mA test current, with tight ±5% tolerance (14.25–15.75 V) and low dynamic impedance (16 Ω at 1 kHz) ensuring minimal voltage deviation during transient current changes.
Designed for high-reliability applications, it meets AEC-Q101 stress testing requirements and features halogen- and antimony-free "Green" packaging with UL 94V-0 flammability rating. The SOT323 case uses matte tin-plated Alloy 42 leads and achieves 0.006 g weight with moisture sensitivity level 1 per J-STD-020D.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C15LT1G | Same 15 V nominal, but 300 mW rating and SOT23 package; 20 Ω Zzt vs. 16 Ω | Higher power margin allows use in higher-current bias networks; larger SOT23 footprint may require PCB redesign | Select when >200 mW dissipation is needed or existing SOT23 layout exists |
| MMSZ5245ET1G | Same 15 V, 200 mW, SOD-123 package; 20 Ω Zzt, 0.1 μA IR, but not AEC-Q101 qualified | Lacks automotive qualification; suitable for commercial/industrial use only | Select for cost-sensitive non-automotive designs where AEC-Q101 is not required |
Compared with BZX84-C15LT1G and MMSZ5245ET1G, MMBZ5245BW-7 uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, SOT323 miniaturization, and lowest Zener impedance (16 Ω) in its 200 mW class-making it optimal for space-constrained automotive and industrial voltage reference nodes requiring high stability.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for MMBZ5245BW-7?
The MMBZ5245BW-7 has an operating junction temperature range of –65°C to +150°C, with derating beginning at +25°C ambient per the published power derating curve. At +85°C ambient, maximum allowable power dissipation drops to 125 mW based on its 625 °C/W thermal resistance.
Is MMBZ5245BW-7 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes-MMBZ5245BW-7 is explicitly qualified to AEC-Q101 standards, including stress tests for temperature cycling, high-accelerated temperature/humidity stress, and human-body-model ESD. Its green molding compound and lead-free plating meet automotive supply chain requirements.
How does the SOT323 package affect PCB layout?
The SOT323 package measures 2.10 mm × 1.30 mm with 0.65 mm pin pitch and requires a specific pad layout (per Diodes AP02001) to ensure solder joint reliability and thermal performance. Its small size supports high-density layouts but demands precise stencil design and placement accuracy.
What is the significance of the "-7-F" suffix in the part number?
The "-7-F" suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging: "-7" indicates 3000 units per reel in SOT323 carrier tape, and "-F" confirms full RoHS and halogen-free compliance. This suffix is mandatory for ordering and distinguishes it from bulk or other packaging variants.
