Product details
Overview
MMBZ5252BT-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a 24 V, 150 mW surface-mount Zener diode in SOT-523 package, rated for 5.2 mA test current, 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 space-constrained power rails.
For engineers reviewing the MMBZ5252BT-7-F datasheet, MMBZ5252BT-7-F pinout, MMBZ5252BT-7-F application, or MMBZ5252BT-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include nominal Zener voltage tolerance (±5%), low thermal resistance (833 °C/W), RoHS-compliant matte tin plating, and suitability for 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 breakdown characteristics and low leakage across -65°C to +150°C operating range.
Designed for low-power regulation, it delivers 24 V ±5% nominal Zener voltage with 33 Ω impedance at 5.2 mA, and exhibits only 0.1 μA reverse leakage at VR = 18 V - enabling reliable clamping in signal conditioning and supply rail supervision circuits.
Key Specifications

| Zener Voltage Range | 22.8 V to 25.2 V - ±5% tolerance ensures predictable clamping threshold |
| Test Current (IZT) | 5.2 mA - standard bias point for specified Zener voltage and impedance |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 33 Ω at 1 kHz - low dynamic resistance minimizes output voltage variation under load transients |
| Power Dissipation | 150 mW - limits continuous dissipation in ultra-small SOT-523 footprint |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.1 μA at VR = 18 V - negligible standby current in high-impedance sensing paths |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 833 °C/W - defines junction-to-ambient temperature rise per watt on standard FR-4 layout |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX584C24LT1G | 24 V, ±5%, 300 mW, SOT-23 package - 2× larger footprint, higher power rating | Suitable for higher-current regulation (>10 mA), less space-constrained designs | Select when >150 mW dissipation or legacy SOT-23 board compatibility is required |
| MMSZ5252ET1G | 24 V, ±5%, 500 mW, SOD-123 package - 3× larger, higher thermal mass, 10× higher leakage (1.0 μA) | Better for surge handling and thermal cycling in automotive under-hood environments | Choose for robustness in high-vibration, wide-temp applications where size is secondary |
Compared with BZX584C24LT1G and MMSZ5252ET1G, MMBZ5252BT-7-F offers the smallest PCB area and lowest leakage, making it optimal for miniaturized, ultra-low-power systems where 150 mW dissipation suffices and SOT-523 placement is supported.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous Zener current for MMBZ5252BT-7-F?
The device is rated for 150 mW total power dissipation. At its nominal 24 V Zener voltage, this corresponds to a maximum continuous Zener current of 6.25 mA (150 mW ÷ 24 V). Derating applies above 25°C ambient per the published power derating curve.
Is MMBZ5252BT-7-F suitable for use in automotive applications?
Yes - it is qualified for operation from -65°C to +150°C and meets AEC-Q200 stress test requirements for passive components. Its RoHS-compliant matte tin plating and SOT-523 package support reflow soldering in automotive PCB assembly, though design validation per specific vehicle ECU environment remains the responsibility of the end user.
How does the SOT-523 package affect thermal performance?
The SOT-523's small pad area and thin mold compound result in high thermal resistance (833 °C/W junction-to-ambient on FR-4). To maintain reliability, keep average power below 50 mW in still-air environments or add copper pour and thermal vias to reduce effective RθJA by up to 40%.
Can MMBZ5252BT-7-F replace older through-hole Zeners like 1N4749A?
No - while both regulate at ~24 V, the MMBZ5252BT-7-F is a surface-mount device with different thermal behavior, lower power rating (150 mW vs. 1 W), and tighter voltage tolerance (±5% vs. ±5% but higher test current). It is not a drop-in replacement; redesign of PCB layout, thermal management, and current-limiting resistor values is required.
