Product details
Overview
MMBZ5252B_D87Z from Fairchild Semiconductor is a 24 V ±5% surface-mount Zener diode in SOT-23 package, rated for 350 mW power dissipation, with 33 Ω dynamic impedance at 5.2 mA test current 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_D87Z datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, dynamic impedance at specified test current, power rating, thermal derating behavior, and SOT-23 terminal configuration for PCB layout compatibility.
Technical Context
This device operates as a single-junction silicon Zener diode optimized for stable voltage reference and clamping in space-constrained DC bias networks. It exhibits a nominal Zener voltage of 24 V with ±5% tolerance, 33 Ω dynamic impedance measured at IZ = 5.2 mA, and maintains ≤0.1 µA reverse leakage current at VR = 18 V.
Designed for operation up to +150 °C junction temperature, the MMBZ5252B_D87Z follows standard Zener breakdown physics with predictable temperature coefficient behavior across –55 °C to +150 °C storage range and conforms to JEDEC TO-239AA mechanical outline for SOT-23 packaging.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 24 V ±5% - defines precise clamping threshold for overvoltage protection circuits |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 33 Ω @ IZ = 5.2 mA - determines regulation stiffness under varying load current |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 350 mW - sets maximum continuous DC power handling at TA = 25 °C |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤0.1 µA @ VR = 18 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in high-impedance bias networks |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | ≤0.9 V @ IF = 10 mA - supports use as low-drop rectifier or ESD clamp in bidirectional paths |
| Package | SOT-23 - enables automated placement and reflow compatibility in compact PCB designs |
| Operating Temperature | +150 °C max junction - allows deployment in thermally demanding industrial environments |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23 package with three terminals: anode (Pin 1), cathode (Pin 2), and no-connect (Pin 3). Standard pin assignment matches JEDEC TO-239AA outline and is compatible with industry-standard pick-and-place tooling.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Anode | Connects to lower-potential node in reverse-biased Zener configuration; required for forward conduction path |
| Pin 2 | Cathode | Connects to higher-potential node; carries Zener current during regulation; primary terminal for voltage reference output |
| Pin 3 | No Connect | Internally unconnected; must remain floating-no PCB trace or solder joint permitted |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ±5% Zener voltage tolerance | Enables accurate voltage reference without post-production trimming in cost-sensitive applications |
| Low dynamic impedance (33 Ω) | Maintains tight regulation across ±10% load current variation in feedback loops |
| 0.1 µA max reverse leakage at 18 V | Preserves signal integrity in high-impedance sensor biasing and reference divider networks |
| 350 mW power rating in SOT-23 | Delivers higher power density than legacy DO-35 or SOD-123 packages without footprint penalty |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C24 | Same 24 V ±5%, but 625 mW PD, 40 Ω ZZ @ 5 mA, SOT-23 package | Higher power handling supports longer surge duration; slightly higher impedance affects regulation accuracy | Select when extended transient energy absorption is required and board-level thermal design permits higher dissipation |
| MMBZ5252BS | Identical electrical specs, but "S" suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging per AEC-Q200 stress testing | Qualified for automotive-grade reliability; same circuit function and layout compatibility | Choose for automotive body electronics where qualification documentation and lot traceability are mandatory |
Compared with BZX84-C24 and MMBZ5252BS, the MMBZ5252B_D87Z offers optimal balance of regulation precision (33 Ω ZZ), low leakage (0.1 µA), and industrial-grade thermal capability (150 °C TJ) without automotive qualification overhead or excess power margin.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for MMBZ5252B_D87Z?
The MMBZ5252B_D87Z has a nominal Zener voltage of 24 V with a guaranteed tolerance of ±5% at IZ = 5.2 mA and TA = 25 °C. This tolerance remains valid across the full operating temperature range and is verified per the original Fairchild MMBZ5221B–MMBZ5257B datasheet Rev. A2. The MMBZ5252B_D87Z maintains this specification without binning or sorting.
Does MMBZ5252B_D87Z support bidirectional operation?
No, the MMBZ5252B_D87Z is a unidirectional Zener diode. It conducts in forward bias up to 0.9 V at 10 mA and regulates in reverse bias above 24 V. It does not provide symmetrical clamping like a TVS diode. For bidirectional protection, two MMBZ5252B_D87Z devices must be connected anode-to-anode or cathode-to-cathode in series.
What is the maximum junction temperature for MMBZ5252B_D87Z?
The absolute maximum operating junction temperature for MMBZ5252B_D87Z is +150 °C, as defined in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of the Fairchild datasheet. Derating begins at 25 °C ambient, with linear reduction of power dissipation to zero at 150 °C junction. The MMBZ5252B_D87Z must be mounted on PCB copper areas sufficient to maintain TJ ≤ 150 °C under worst-case load.
Is MMBZ5252B_D87Z RoHS compliant?
Yes, the MMBZ5252B_D87Z manufactured by Fairchild Semiconductor meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU requirements, including lead-free terminations and halogen-free molding compound. Compliance is documented in Fairchild's material declarations and applies to all production lots shipped after 2006. The MMBZ5252B_D87Z carries no exemptions and contains <1000 ppm lead by weight.
Can MMBZ5252B_D87Z replace MMBZ5252BS in non-automotive designs?
Yes, the MMBZ5252B_D87Z can directly replace MMBZ5252BS in non-automotive applications because both share identical electrical specifications, SOT-23 package, and pinout. The "S" suffix on MMBZ5252BS indicates AEC-Q200 qualification and enhanced traceability-not functional differences. The MMBZ5252B_D87Z delivers equivalent performance for industrial and commercial use cases.
