Product details
Overview
MMBZ5252BW-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 24 V, 5.2 mA test-current Zener diode in SOT323 package, rated for 200 mW power dissipation and 33 Ω dynamic impedance at 1 kHz, designed for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in low-power analog and digital circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MMBZ5252BW-7 datasheet, MMBZ5252BW-7 pinout, MMBZ5252BW-7 application, or MMBZ5252BW-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include nominal Zener voltage tolerance (±5%), reverse leakage current (≤0.1 µA at 18 V), thermal resistance (625 °C/W), and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with tightly controlled voltage regulation across its specified test current range. Its 24 V nominal Zener voltage is guaranteed between 22.8 V and 25.2 V at IZT = 5.2 mA, with dynamic impedance of 33 Ω measured at 1 kHz.
The device uses a planar epitaxial construction with matte tin-plated Alloy 42 leadframe and green molding compound compliant with RoHS, halogen-free, and antimony-free standards. It is qualified to AEC-Q101 for high-reliability automotive applications and exhibits stable performance from −65 °C to +150 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 24 V nominal, 22.8–25.2 V range at 5.2 mA - ensures stable reference under typical bias conditions |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 200 mW - limits continuous operating current to ~8.3 mA at 24 V without derating |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 33 Ω at 1 kHz - defines AC regulation sensitivity and noise rejection capability |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤0.1 µA at 18 V - guarantees minimal standby current in voltage-clamp configurations |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 625 °C/W on FR4 board - requires careful thermal pad layout to avoid junction overheating |
| Operating Temperature | −65 °C to +150 °C - supports under-hood automotive and industrial environments |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT323 - ultra-small surface-mount plastic case (2.10 mm × 1.30 mm × 0.90 mm), moisture sensitivity level 1, lead-free and RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Pin 1) | Forward conduction terminal / cathode-side reference node in clamp configuration | Connected to lower-potential rail; reverse-biased during regulation |
| Cathode (Pin 2) | Zener breakdown terminal / regulated output node | Connected to protected node; maintains ~24 V above anode when reverse-biased |
| Case / Pin 3 | Non-connected internal leadframe tie point | Electrically isolated; serves mechanical anchoring only - no circuit function |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive electronics including infotainment power rails and sensor interface protection |
| Green molding compound | Halogen- and antimony-free (<900 ppm Br/Cl, <1000 ppm Sb) - meets strict environmental compliance mandates |
| SOT323 footprint | Enables high-density PCB layouts and compatibility with standard 0805-sized pick-and-place equipment |
| Low leakage at VR = 18 V | 0.1 µA max - preserves battery life in always-on monitoring circuits and low-power IoT nodes |

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 | Same 24 V nominal, but 350 mW rating and SOT23 package; ZZT = 40 Ω at 5 mA | Higher power handling allows higher surge current; larger footprint may impact layout density | Select when >200 mW transient absorption is required and SOT23 is acceptable |
| MMSZ5252ET1G | 24 V Zener in SOD-123; 500 mW rating; ZZT = 30 Ω at 20 mA; leakage 0.1 µA at 18 V | Higher power and different package - suited for manual repair or high-surge industrial designs | Choose for legacy SOD-123 board compatibility or where thermal mass improves transient robustness |
Compared with BZX84-C24LT1G and MMSZ5252ET1G, MMBZ5252BW-7 offers the smallest footprint (SOT323), AEC-Q101 qualification, and optimized low-leakage performance at 5.2 mA - making it preferred for space-constrained, automotive-qualified, and ultra-low-power designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage this Zener can withstand before breakdown?
The MMBZ5252BW-7 has a nominal Zener voltage of 24 V, with a guaranteed breakdown range of 22.8 V to 25.2 V at 5.2 mA test current. Below 22.8 V, reverse leakage remains ≤0.1 µA at 18 V - meaning it does not conduct significantly until reaching its specified Zener threshold.
Is this part suitable for use in automotive applications?
Yes - MMBZ5252BW-7 is explicitly qualified to AEC-Q101 standards, tested for temperature cycling, humidity, mechanical shock, and high-temperature operating life. Its −65 °C to +150 °C operating range and green, halogen-free construction meet automotive electronics requirements for under-hood and cabin modules.
How does the SOT323 package affect thermal performance?
The SOT323 package delivers a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 625 °C/W on FR4 PCBs with recommended pad layout. This means at 200 mW dissipation, junction temperature rises ~125 °C above ambient - so derating is essential above +25 °C ambient, especially in enclosed enclosures or stacked boards.
Can this Zener be used in place of a 24 V TVS diode for ESD protection?
No - while MMBZ5252BW-7 provides precise voltage clamping, it lacks the peak pulse power rating (e.g., 400 W for 8/20 µs) and fast response time of dedicated TVS diodes. It is intended for steady-state regulation and low-energy transients, not IEC 61000-4-2 ESD or ISO 10605 surge suppression.
