Product details
Overview
MMBZ5252BW-7-F 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, used for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in low-power analog and digital supply rails.
For engineers reviewing the MMBZ5252BW-7-F datasheet, MMBZ5252BW-7-F pinout, MMBZ5252BW-7-F application, or MMBZ5252BW-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include nominal Zener voltage tolerance (±5%), reverse leakage current at 18 V (≤0.1 μA), thermal resistance (625 °C/W), and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference with sharp reverse breakdown at 24 V ±5% under 5.2 mA test current. Its 33 Ω Zener impedance at 1 kHz ensures stable regulation under small-signal load variations, while its 625 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance defines derating behavior above +25°C ambient.
The SOT323 package enables high-density PCB layout and compatibility with automated reflow assembly. With ≤0.1 μA reverse leakage at VR = 18 V and full AEC-Q101 qualification, it supports fail-safe biasing and clamping in automotive body electronics and industrial sensor interfaces.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage | 24 V nominal, 22.8–25.2 V range at 5.2 mA - sets precise clamping threshold for 24 V rail protection |
| Power Dissipation | 200 mW at +25°C - limits continuous clamp energy in transient suppression circuits |
| Zener Impedance | 33 Ω at 1 kHz - determines output voltage deviation under dynamic load changes |
| Reverse Leakage | ≤0.1 μA at VR = 18 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in always-on bias networks |
| Thermal Resistance | 625 °C/W - requires derating to ~125 mW at +85°C ambient for sustained operation |
| Package | SOT323 - 2.1 mm × 1.3 mm footprint, compatible with standard 0805 land patterns |
Pinout & Package
SOT323 package: 3-terminal surface-mount case with anode (pin 1), cathode (pin 2), and no internal connection at pin 3 (dummy lead); molded green compound, matte tin-plated terminals, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Pin 1) | Forward conduction terminal | Connected to lower-potential node during Zener operation; required for correct polarity in shunt regulation |
| Cathode (Pin 2) | Zener breakdown terminal | Connected to higher-potential node; carries regulated voltage reference or clamped signal |
| Pin 3 | No internal connection | Mechanical support only; must remain unconnected in PCB layout to avoid parasitic coupling |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive under-hood and body control modules requiring high-reliability discrete components |
| Green molding compound | Halogen- and antimony-free (<900 ppm Br/Cl, <1000 ppm Sb) meeting RoHS 2 and ELV requirements |
| Low leakage at 18 V | ≤0.1 μA reverse current enables use in ultra-low-power sensor biasing without compromising battery life |
| Lead-free plating | Matte tin over Alloy 42 leadframe, solderable per MIL-STD-202 Method 208, compatible with Pb-free reflow profiles |
Applications
| Automotive Body Control Unit (BCU) | Industrial Sensor Signal Conditioning |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C24LT1G | Same 24 V nominal, but 350 mW rating and SOT23 package; 40 Ω ZZT at 5 mA | Higher power handling suits intermittent surge clamping; larger footprint may limit high-density layouts | Select when >200 mW pulse energy absorption is required and board space permits SOT23 |
| MMBZ5252BS-7-F | Identical electrical specs, but SOT363 dual-diode variant with shared cathode configuration | Enables dual-rail clamping (e.g., ±12 V) in same footprint; not suitable for single-diode replacement | Choose only for designs needing two matched Zeners; not a drop-in substitute for single-device use |
Compared with BZX84-C24LT1G and MMBZ5252BS-7-F, MMBZ5252BW-7-F offers optimal balance of AEC-Q101 compliance, compact SOT323 size, and low-leakage performance for space-constrained automotive and industrial 24 V regulation-without sacrificing reliability or manufacturability.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage this Zener can withstand before breakdown?
The MMBZ5252BW-7-F has a nominal Zener voltage of 24 V with a guaranteed range of 22.8 V to 25.2 V at 5.2 mA test current. Below 22.8 V, it remains in high-impedance reverse-blocking mode with ≤0.1 μA leakage at 18 V. Breakdown is gradual and non-destructive within its 200 mW power limit.
Is this part suitable for use in automotive applications?
Yes. The MMBZ5252BW-7-F is fully qualified to AEC-Q101 standards, including temperature cycling, humidity testing, and mechanical shock. Its green molding compound, lead-free plating, and operation from –65°C to +150°C make it approved for under-hood and body control module deployments.
How does the SOT323 package affect thermal performance?
The SOT323 package delivers 625 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on FR4 PCB with recommended pad layout. At +85°C ambient, maximum allowable power drops to ~125 mW. Layout optimization-such as copper pour under the thermal pad-can improve heat dissipation by up to 25%.
Can this Zener be used in place of a 24 V TVS diode for ESD protection?
No. While it provides steady-state voltage regulation, the MMBZ5252BW-7-F lacks the low clamping voltage and high peak pulse power capability of dedicated TVS devices. For IEC 61000-4-2 ESD protection, use a TVS like PESD5V0S1BA-AX, which clamps below 15 V at 8 kV contact discharge.
