Product details
Overview
MMBZ5250BTS-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a triple-surface-mount Zener diode array in SOT363 package, providing three isolated 20V ±5% Zener elements with 6.2mA test current, 25Ω maximum Zener impedance at 1kHz, and 0.1μA reverse leakage at 15V. It delivers precision voltage regulation for compact power rail clamping and reference applications in automotive control modules.
For engineers reviewing the MMBZ5250BTS-7-F datasheet, MMBZ5250BTS-7-F pinout, MMBZ5250BTS-7-F application, or MMBZ5250BTS-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include nominal Zener voltage (20V), Zener impedance (25Ω), power dissipation (200mW), thermal resistance (625°C/W), and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
This device integrates three electrically isolated Zener diodes in a single ultra-small SOT363 package, enabling space-constrained multi-rail voltage stabilization without cross-coupling. Each diode operates independently with identical 20V nominal Zener voltage and shares common thermal characteristics due to monolithic construction.
Designed for high-reliability automotive environments, it meets AEC-Q101 stress testing requirements and supports operation from –65°C to +150°C. Its 200mW power rating and 625°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance define safe continuous operation under standard FR4 PCB mounting per AP02001 layout guidelines.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage | 20V nominal (19.0–21.0V range at 6.2mA), enabling stable 20V reference or clamp in low-power analog circuits |
| Power Dissipation | 200mW maximum, limiting continuous current to ~10mA at 20V without forced cooling |
| Zener Impedance | 25Ω max at 1kHz and 6.2mA, ensuring minimal voltage deviation under dynamic load changes |
| Reverse Leakage | 0.1μA max at 15V, supporting low-quiescent-current bias networks and precision sensing paths |
| Thermal Resistance | 625°C/W junction-to-ambient, requiring careful PCB copper area allocation for thermal management |
| Operating Temperature | –65°C to +150°C, validated for under-hood automotive electronics and industrial control enclosures |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT363 - ultra-small surface-mount plastic case (2.10 × 1.30 × 0.95 mm), UL 94V-0 rated, lead-free matte tin plating over Alloy 42 leadframe, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1 | Anode 1 | First independent Zener anode; connects to cathode of external series resistor for 20V regulation |
| A2 | Anode 2 | Second independent Zener anode; enables dual-rail clamping without shared node interference |
| A3 | Anode 3 | Third independent Zener anode; supports triple-voltage reference generation on single footprint |
| C1 | Cathode 1 | First Zener cathode; tied to regulated output node or feedback path in shunt regulator topology |
| C2 | Cathode 2 | Second Zener cathode; isolated from C1/C3 to prevent interaction between regulated rails |
| C3 | Cathode 3 | Third Zener cathode; allows simultaneous stabilization of three distinct voltage domains |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

| Triple isolated Zeners | Three independent 20V Zener elements in one SOT363 footprint, reducing board area by >60% vs. discrete solutions |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive applications including engine control units and body electronics with extended temperature cycling |
| Lead-free & green construction | Halogen- and antimony-free (<900ppm Br/Cl, <1000ppm Sb), compliant with RoHS 2 and ELV directives |
| Low capacitance | Typical total capacitance <2pF at 0V bias (per diode), preserving signal integrity in high-frequency feedback loops |
Applications
| Automotive Engine Control Unit (ECU) | Industrial PLC Analog Input Module |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode array applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMF5.0AT1G | Single 5.0V Zener in SOD-123, 200mW, 50Ω Zz, no AEC-Q101 rating | Not suitable for triple-rail or automotive use; limited to single-rail consumer-grade clamping | Select only for non-automotive, single-Zener, cost-sensitive designs where 5V regulation suffices |
| BZX84-C20LT1G | Single 20V Zener in SOT-23, 350mW, 50Ω Zz, AEC-Q101 qualified | Provides higher power but requires three devices and more PCB area; no inter-diode isolation guarantee | Choose when >200mW per diode is required or when existing SOT-23 layout prohibits SOT363 adoption |
Compared with SMF5.0AT1G and BZX84-C20LT1G, MMBZ5250BTS-7-F uniquely delivers triple 20V Zener functionality with guaranteed isolation, AEC-Q101 compliance, and minimal footprint-making it irreplaceable for space-constrained, multi-rail automotive and industrial systems requiring coordinated voltage references.

Manufacturer
Diodes Incorporated is a global manufacturer of discrete semiconductors and analog ICs, headquartered in Plano, Texas, with design centers across Asia and manufacturing in China, Taiwan, and the U.S.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous Zener current for MMBZ5250BTS-7-F at 25°C ambient?
At 25°C ambient and with recommended FR4 pad layout (AP02001), the maximum continuous Zener current is 10mA, derived from its 200mW power rating divided by nominal 20V Zener voltage. Exceeding this current risks thermal runaway unless board-level heatsinking is implemented.
Does MMBZ5250BTS-7-F support bidirectional transient suppression?
No - it is a unidirectional Zener diode array optimized for forward-biased conduction and reverse-biased Zener breakdown. For bidirectional ESD protection, Diodes Incorporated recommends dedicated TVS arrays like D3V3M1U2UP-7, which feature symmetrical clamping in both polarities.
How is the marking code KR7 decoded on the device body?
KR7 is the Diodes Incorporated product type marking for MMBZ5250BTS. "KR" identifies the 20V Zener family within the MMBZ52xxBTS series, and "7" distinguishes it from adjacent voltages (e.g., KR6 = 18V, KR8 = 22V). Full decoding is documented in DS30184 Rev. 13–2, page 2.
Can MMBZ5250BTS-7-F be used in place of a single 20V Zener diode?
Yes - any one anode-cathode pair (e.g., A1–C1) functions as a standalone 20V Zener diode with identical electrical specs. However, using only one section wastes two unused diodes; optimal use leverages all three for multi-rail designs or redundancy-critical applications.
