Product details
Overview
MMBZ5254BW-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a 27 V, 200 mW surface-mount Zener diode in SOT323 package, rated for 5.0 mA test current, with 41 Ω maximum zener impedance at 1 kHz and 0.1 μA reverse leakage at 21 V, used for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in low-power analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MMBZ5254BW-7-F datasheet, MMBZ5254BW-7-F pinout, MMBZ5254BW-7-F application, or MMBZ5254BW-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include nominal zener voltage tolerance (±5%), thermal resistance (625 °C/W), AEC-Q101 qualification, green RoHS compliance, and SOT323 footprint compatibility with automated assembly.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable reference voltage under varying load and temperature conditions. Its 27 V nominal zener voltage is specified at 5.0 mA test current, with ±5% tolerance across the 25.65–28.35 V range and 41 Ω dynamic impedance measured at 1 kHz.
Designed for high-reliability applications, it meets AEC-Q101 stress-test requirements and features halogen/antimony-free "Green" molding compound (UL 94V-0), matte tin-plated terminals, and moisture sensitivity level 1 per J-STD-020D.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (Nominal) | 27 V - precise DC voltage reference point for biasing or clamping |
| Zener Voltage Range | 25.65–28.35 V - ±5% tolerance ensures predictable regulation across production lot |
| Test Current (IZT) | 5.0 mA - operating point where zener voltage and impedance are guaranteed |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 41 Ω max @ 1 kHz - low dynamic resistance enables stable regulation under small-signal AC variation |
| Power Dissipation | 200 mW - limits continuous power handling on standard FR4 PCB with recommended pad layout |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.1 μA @ 21 V - minimal off-state current preserves battery life in always-on sensing nodes |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 625 °C/W - defines junction-to-ambient temperature rise per watt dissipated on standard board |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT323 - ultra-small 3-pin surface-mount plastic case (2.10 mm × 1.30 mm × 0.90 mm), lead-free, RoHS-compliant, with matte tin-plated Alloy 42 leads and polarity indicated by cathode band.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Pin 1) | Forward conduction terminal | Connected to lower-potential node during normal operation; forms cathode-anode junction with Pin 3 |
| No Connection (Pin 2) | Internal die attach flag | Electrically isolated metal flag for mechanical stability; not bonded to semiconductor die |
| Cathode (Pin 3) | Reverse-bias terminal | Connected to higher-potential node; conducts when reverse voltage exceeds 27 V threshold |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C27LT1G | Same 27 V nominal, but 300 mW rating and SOT23 package; 30 Ω ZZT @ 5 mA | Higher power margin suits intermittent surge clamping; larger SOT23 footprint requires PCB redesign | Select when thermal headroom >200 mW is required and board space allows SOT23 |
| MMSZ5254T1G | Same 27 V, 200 mW, SOD-123 package; 45 Ω ZZT @ 5 mA; no AEC-Q101 qualification | Lower cost for non-automotive use; lacks automotive reliability validation and green compound compliance | Select for cost-sensitive consumer electronics where AEC-Q101 and halogen-free status are not mandated |
Compared with BZX84-C27LT1G and MMSZ5254T1G, MMBZ5254BW-7-F uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, halogen/antimony-free construction, and SOT323 miniaturization-making it optimal for space-constrained, automotive-qualified, and environmentally regulated designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage this Zener diode can withstand before breakdown?
The MMBZ5254BW-7-F has a nominal zener voltage of 27 V, with a guaranteed breakdown range of 25.65 V to 28.35 V at 5.0 mA test current. It is not rated for sustained operation above 28.35 V in reverse bias; exceeding this risks thermal runaway due to its 200 mW power limit and 625 °C/W thermal resistance.
Is this part suitable for use in automotive applications?
Yes-MMBZ5254BW-7-F is explicitly qualified to AEC-Q101 standards, including stress tests for temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias, and electrostatic discharge. Its halogen-free "Green" compound and moisture sensitivity level 1 further support automotive manufacturing and under-hood reliability requirements.
How does the SOT323 package affect thermal performance compared to SOT23?
The SOT323 package has higher thermal resistance (625 °C/W vs. ~350 °C/W for typical SOT23) due to smaller copper area and thinner leadframe. This limits continuous power dissipation to 200 mW unless board-level thermal relief (e.g., thermal vias, copper pours) is implemented per Diodes' AP02001 recommended pad layout.
Can this Zener diode be used in place of a 24 V or 30 V variant?
No-MMBZ5254BW-7-F is strictly a 27 V device with ±5% tolerance (25.65–28.35 V). Substituting it for 24 V (MMBZ5252BW) or 30 V (MMBZ5256BW) parts introduces unacceptable regulation error (>10% deviation), potentially causing overvoltage damage or undervoltage shutdown in sensitive circuits.
