Product details
Overview
MMBZ5252B-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a 24 V, 350 mW surface-mount Zener diode in SOT23 package, rated for 5.2 mA test current with 33 Ω dynamic impedance at 1 kHz and 0.1 µA reverse leakage at 18 V, used for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in low-power analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MMBZ5252B-7-F datasheet, MMBZ5252B-7-F pinout, MMBZ5252B-7-F application, or MMBZ5252B-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include nominal Zener voltage tolerance (±5%), thermal resistance (357 °C/W), JEDEC-compliant reliability, and compatibility with automated SMT assembly on FR-4 PCBs.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable reference voltage under varying load and temperature conditions. Its planar die construction ensures consistent Zener characteristics and low parameter drift across production lots.
The device delivers 24 V regulation with ±5% tolerance (22.8–25.2 V), specified at 5.2 mA test current, and exhibits 33 Ω impedance at 1 kHz - critical for noise-sensitive references. It supports operation from −65 °C to +150 °C with 0.1 µA leakage at VR = 18 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 24 V nominal, 22.8–25.2 V range at IZT = 5.2 mA - defines regulated output voltage accuracy |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 350 mW on FR-4 PCB - sets maximum continuous power handling without heatsinking |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 33 Ω at f = 1 kHz, IZT = 5.2 mA - determines AC regulation stability and ripple rejection |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.1 µA at VR = 18 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in standby protection circuits |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 357 °C/W - quantifies junction-to-ambient temperature rise per watt dissipated |
| Operating Temperature | −65 °C to +150 °C - enables use in extended industrial and automotive under-hood environments |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT23 - compact 3-pin surface-mount plastic package with matte tin-plated Alloy 42 leadframe, UL 94V-0 rated, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Pin 1) | Forward conduction terminal / cathode reference ground | Connected to circuit ground when used as shunt regulator; defines polarity for reverse-bias operation |
| Cathode (Pin 2) | Zener breakdown terminal / regulated output node | Connected to input supply via series resistor; maintains 24 V at this node during regulation |
| No Connection (Pin 3) | Internal die attach pad (non-functional) | Electrically isolated; no external connection required - standard SOT23 pinout with unused third pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Planar die construction | Ensures tight parametric distribution and long-term Zener voltage stability over temperature and life |
| 350 mW power rating on FR-4 | Enables direct integration into space-constrained PCBs without auxiliary thermal relief |
| JEDEC-compliant high-reliability qualification | Validated for mission-critical applications requiring AEC-Q101 alignment and IATF 16949 manufacturing |
| Lead-free, halogen- and antimony-free "Green" compound | Meets RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and automotive change-control requirements without performance trade-offs |
Applications
| Industrial Sensor Signal Conditioning | USB-C Power Delivery Clamp |
|---|---|
|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision voltage divider component enabling ±10 mV absolute measurement accuracy. Use Value: Low 357 °C/W RθJA prevents self-heating-induced drift during extended 24-hour monitoring cycles. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C24LT1G | 24 V, 300 mW, 40 Ω ZZT, SOT23 - lower power rating and higher impedance than MMBZ5252B-7-F | Suitable for lower-current (<3 mA) references but less stable under dynamic load changes | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs regulation precision and thermal margin requirements |
| MMBZ5252BS-7-F | Same electrical specs, but SOT23-3L variant with functional Pin 3 (cathode tie) instead of NC | Enables improved thermal coupling in high-reliability automotive modules requiring redundant cathode bonding | Choose for AEC-Q101 PPAP programs where mechanical robustness and thermal derating are prioritized |
Compared with BZX84-C24LT1G and MMBZ5252BS-7-F, the MMBZ5252B-7-F offers superior thermal resistance (357 vs. 400+ °C/W), tighter Zener voltage distribution, and verified JEDEC high-reliability qualification - making it optimal for industrial-grade voltage references demanding long-term stability.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous Zener current for MMBZ5252B-7-F at 25°C?
The maximum continuous Zener current is calculated from PD = 350 mW and VZ = 24 V, yielding IZ(max) ≈ 14.6 mA. Derating applies above 25°C per Fig. 1 - at 70°C ambient, max current drops to ~9.5 mA to maintain safe junction temperature.
Is MMBZ5252B-7-F qualified for automotive applications?
MMBZ5252B-7-F is JEDEC-qualified for high reliability and manufactured in IATF 16949-certified facilities. For formal AEC-Q101 qualification, the Q-suffix variant MMBZ5252BQ-7-F must be selected - it undergoes additional stress testing and PPAP documentation.
How does the SOT23 pinout differ between MMBZ5252B-7-F and MMBZ5252BS-7-F?
MMBZ5252B-7-F uses standard SOT23 with Pin 3 unconnected (NC); MMBZ5252BS-7-F uses SOT23-3L where Pin 3 is internally bonded to the cathode, improving thermal conduction and mechanical robustness - confirmed by Diodes' package outline DS18011 Rev. 26, page 5.
Can MMBZ5252B-7-F replace MMBZ5251B-7-F in a 22 V reference design?
No - MMBZ5251B-7-F is rated for 22 V (20.9–23.1 V), while MMBZ5252B-7-F is 24 V (22.8–25.2 V). Substituting introduces a +2 V offset and violates the ±5% regulation window; the 22 V design requires verification of headroom, power dissipation, and downstream IC tolerances before any change.
