Product details
Overview
MMBZ5245BWQ-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a 15 V, 200 mW surface-mount Zener diode in SOT323 package, rated for AEC-Q101 automotive reliability, with 14.25–15.75 V zener voltage tolerance at 8.5 mA test current and 0.1 µA max reverse leakage at 11 V, used for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in automotive body control modules.
For engineers reviewing the MMBZ5245BWQ-7-F datasheet, MMBZ5245BWQ-7-F pinout, MMBZ5245BWQ-7-F application, or MMBZ5245BWQ-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±5%), low thermal resistance (625 °C/W), AEC-Q101 qualification, RoHS/halogen-free compliance, and SOT323 footprint compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
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 dynamic impedance of 16 Ω at that point and 600 Ω at 0.25 mA, enabling accurate clamping across low-to-moderate current ranges.
The device is qualified per AEC-Q101 for automotive applications, features matte tin-plated alloy 42 leadframe, UL 94V-0 molded plastic case, and moisture sensitivity level 1 - ensuring robust performance in reflow-soldered automotive electronics without preconditioning.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (Nominal) | 15 V - precise DC voltage reference for regulator feedback or signal clamping |
| Zener Voltage Range | 14.25–15.75 V @ 8.5 mA - ±5% tolerance ensures predictable clamping threshold |
| Power Dissipation | 200 mW - limits continuous dissipation on FR-4 board with recommended pad layout |
| Zener Impedance | 16 Ω @ 8.5 mA - low dynamic resistance maintains voltage stability under load variation |
| Reverse Leakage | 0.1 µA @ 11 V - minimal off-state current preserves battery life in always-on circuits |
| Thermal Resistance | 625 °C/W - defines junction-to-ambient rise per watt; requires thermal-aware layout |
| Operating Temp | −65 to +150 °C - supports under-hood and cabin-mounted automotive ECUs |

FAQ
What is the maximum power dissipation of MMBZ5245BWQ-7-F at 100°C ambient?
At 100°C ambient, the device's derated power dissipation is 100 mW, calculated using its 625 °C/W thermal resistance and 200 mW rating at 25°C. This linear derating follows the curve in Figure 1 of DS40377, where 50% power remains at 100°C - critical for under-hood applications where board temperature exceeds 85°C.
Is MMBZ5245BWQ-7-F compatible with lead-free reflow profiles?
Yes - the device uses matte tin-plated alloy 42 leadframe and is qualified for Pb-free reflow per J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity. Its construction withstands peak temperatures up to 260°C for 10 seconds, matching standard SAC305 solder profiles without delamination or parametric shift.
How does the zener impedance vary between test currents?
Zener impedance is 16 Ω at 8.5 mA (IZT) and rises to 600 Ω at 0.25 mA (IZK), as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This reflects typical Zener behavior: lower impedance at higher bias current due to improved carrier injection and reduced series resistance dominance.
Can MMBZ5245BWQ-7-F replace MMBZ5245B in non-automotive designs?
Yes - electrically identical in zener voltage, impedance, and leakage, but MMBZ5245BWQ-7-F adds AEC-Q101 qualification, PPAP capability, and stricter green material compliance. For non-automotive use, it offers enhanced reliability and supply chain assurance without circuit redesign.
