Product details
Overview
MMBZ5248BTS-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a triple-surface-mount Zener diode array in SOT363 package, providing three isolated 18 V ±5% Zener references with 7.0 mA test current, 21 Ω dynamic impedance at 1 kHz, and 0.1 µA reverse leakage at 14 V. It delivers precision voltage regulation for low-power biasing and protection in compact PCB layouts.
For engineers reviewing the MMBZ5248BTS-7-F datasheet, MMBZ5248BTS-7-F pinout, MMBZ5248BTS-7-F application, or MMBZ5248BTS-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include nominal Zener voltage tolerance (±5%), thermal resistance (625 °C/W), power dissipation (200 mW), and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
This device integrates three independent Zener diodes in a single ultra-small SOT363 package, enabling space-constrained designs requiring multiple stable reference voltages. Each diode operates with a nominal Zener voltage of 18 V, specified at IZT = 7.0 mA and characterized with ZZT = 21 Ω at 1 kHz.
It supports automated surface-mount assembly and meets AEC-Q101 stress testing for high-reliability automotive applications. Thermal derating follows a linear curve from 200 mW at 25°C to zero at 150°C ambient, with junction-to-ambient thermal resistance fixed at 625 °C/W on FR4 board per recommended pad layout.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 18 V nominal, 17.1–18.9 V range at 7.0 mA - ensures ±5% regulation accuracy under standard test conditions |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 200 mW maximum at TA = 25°C - defines safe continuous DC power handling on standard FR4 layout |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 21 Ω at IZT = 7.0 mA, f = 1 kHz - indicates low AC impedance for stable reference performance under small-signal variation |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.1 µA max at VR = 14 V - confirms minimal off-state current for low-power standby circuits |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 625 °C/W - determines temperature rise per watt; requires thermal-aware layout for sustained operation above 25°C ambient |
| Operating Temperature | −65°C to +150°C - enables use in under-hood automotive, industrial control, and extended-temperature sensor interfaces |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode array applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C18LT1G | Single 18 V Zener in SOT-23; no multi-diode integration | Requires three separate placements and routing; higher board area and assembly cost | Select when only one Zener is needed or when legacy SOT-23 footprint compatibility is mandatory |
| MMBZ5248BS-7-F | Same electrical specs but in SOT-323 (single-diode variant); not triple-isolated | Lacks integrated triple-channel isolation; unsuitable for multi-rail referencing | Choose only if triple-diode functionality is unnecessary and smaller single-diode footprint is preferred |
Compared with BZX84-C18LT1G and MMBZ5248BS-7-F, MMBZ5248BTS-7-F uniquely delivers three isolated 18 V Zeners in one SOT363 footprint-reducing component count, PCB area, and assembly steps where multi-rail biasing or parallel protection is required.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for MMBZ5248BTS-7-F?
The MMBZ5248BTS-7-F has a nominal Zener voltage of 18 V with a guaranteed range of 17.1 V to 18.9 V at IZT = 7.0 mA, representing ±5% tolerance. This specification is verified per DS30184 Rev. 13 and applies under standard test conditions (TA = +25°C, short-pulse measurement).
Is MMBZ5248BTS-7-F suitable for automotive applications?
Yes - it is qualified to AEC-Q101 standards for high-reliability automotive use, including temperature cycling, humidity testing, and mechanical shock. Its operating range (−65°C to +150°C), lead-free "Green" construction, and SOT363 package make it appropriate for under-hood and cabin ECUs, sensor modules, and body electronics.
How does the SOT363 package affect thermal performance?
The SOT363 package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 625 °C/W on FR4 with Diodes' recommended pad layout (AP02001). At 200 mW dissipation, this yields a 125°C junction rise above ambient - requiring layout attention for sustained operation above 25°C ambient or derating per Figure 1 in DS30184.
Can MMBZ5248BTS-7-F replace discrete Zeners in existing designs?
Yes, provided the PCB layout accommodates the SOT363 6-pin footprint and each anode/cathode pair is correctly routed. Its three isolated channels allow direct substitution for three SOD-323 or SOT-23 Zeners, reducing component count and improving matching between reference paths due to monolithic construction.
