Product details
Overview
MMSZ4693 RHG from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 7.5 V, 500 mW surface-mount Zener diode in SOD-123 package, designed for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in low-power analog and digital circuits. It delivers ±5% zener voltage tolerance at 50 mA test current, operates across –55°C to +150°C junction temperature, and features 5.7 µA leakage at 5.7 V reverse bias.
For engineers reviewing the MMSZ4693 RHG datasheet, MMSZ4693 RHG pinout, MMSZ4693 RHG application, or MMSZ4693 RHG equivalent, key selection criteria include nominal zener voltage (7.5 V), power rating (500 mW), thermal resistance (340 °C/W), cathode-band polarity marking, and SOD-123 footprint compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The MMSZ4693 RHG functions as a two-terminal voltage reference device operating in reverse breakdown mode. Its zener voltage is specified at 7.125 V (min) to 7.875 V (max) under 50 mA test current, with dynamic impedance typically below 15 Ω and capacitance < 30 pF at 1 MHz and 0 V bias.
It complies with J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1, supports reflow soldering per J-STD-002, and uses matte tin-plated leads on a UL 94V-0 compliant molding compound - enabling reliable operation in industrial and consumer-grade environments without derating up to 125°C ambient.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 7.125–7.875 V at 50 mA - defines stable regulation point with ±5% tolerance for feedback or clamp circuits |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 500 mW - sets maximum continuous power handling on standard 5 cm × 5 cm Cu pad |
| Junction Temperature Range | –55°C to +150°C - enables use in automotive under-hood or industrial control enclosures |
| Leakage Current (IR) | ≤5.7 µA at 5.7 V reverse bias - ensures minimal standby current in battery-powered sensing nodes |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 340 °C/W - determines temperature rise above ambient under full load; requires thermal pad design for >200 mW operation |
| Package | SOD-123 - 2.85 mm × 1.80 mm footprint with cathode band marking; compatible with automated pick-and-place |
Pinout & Package
SOD-123 is a two-terminal surface-mount package with cathode indicated by a visible band on the molded body. Terminals are matte tin-plated and solderable per J-STD-002. Weight is approximately 10.97 mg.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX584C7V5 | Same 7.5 V nominal, but 300 mW rating and SOD-323 package; higher leakage (10 µA @ 5.7 V) | Lower power handling limits use in sustained clamp scenarios; smaller footprint may reduce thermal margin | Select when board area is constrained and peak power <300 mW; verify thermal relief on SOD-323 pads |
| MMBZ5227BS | 7.5 V nominal, 350 mW rating, SOT-23 package; tighter 5% tolerance but higher dynamic impedance (~30 Ω) | Three-pin SOT-23 requires routing for unused emitter; less suitable for simple two-terminal shunt roles | Prefer only if existing SOT-23 footprint reuse is mandatory; avoid where low-impedance regulation is critical |
Compared with BZX584C7V5 and MMBZ5227BS, the MMSZ4693 RHG offers superior thermal performance (500 mW/340 °C/W vs. 300–350 mW), verified SOD-123 manufacturability, and lower leakage - making it optimal for continuous-duty regulation in space-constrained industrial PCBs.
