Product details
Overview
MMSZ4695 RHG from Taiwan Semiconductor is a surface-mount Zener diode designed for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in low-power circuits, with a nominal zener voltage of 8.7 V, 500 mW power dissipation, ±5% voltage tolerance, 50 mA test current, and 6.6 µA leakage current at 6.6 V reverse bias.
For engineers reviewing the MMSZ4695 RHG datasheet, MMSZ4695 RHG pinout, MMSZ4695 RHG application, or MMSZ4695 RHG equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage accuracy, thermal resistance (340 °C/W), SOD-123 package compatibility, junction temperature range (–55 °C to +150 °C), and RoHS/halogen-free compliance for high-density PCB designs.
Technical Context
The MMSZ4695 RHG operates as a two-terminal silicon junction device that maintains stable reverse-biased breakdown voltage across its cathode-anode terminals under controlled current conditions. Its zener voltage is specified at 50 mA test current with min/max limits of 8.265 V and 9.135 V, and it exhibits 1.0 µA leakage current at 6.6 V - below its rated zener voltage.
Thermal performance is defined by a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 340 °C/W when mounted on a 5 cm × 5 cm copper pad, enabling reliable operation up to 150 °C junction temperature. The device uses a planar epitaxial construction and matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability standards.

Applications
| Power Supply Rail Clamping | Microcontroller I/O Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Clamp 12 V input rails to safe levels before LDO regulators in portable instrumentation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener diode acting as shunt regulator and overvoltage limiter. Use Value: Prevents damage to downstream 5 V logic by limiting transient spikes to ≤9.135 V with <1.0 µA leakage at 6.6 V. | Use Scenario: Protect 3.3 V GPIO pins from ESD and accidental 5 V misconnection. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional transient suppressor configured in reverse-bias zener mode. Use Value: Activates clamping at 8.7 V nominal, diverting surge current away from sensitive CMOS inputs while maintaining low standby leakage. |
| Voltage Reference for ADC Biasing | Low-Power Sensor Excitation |
Use Scenario: Provide stable reference for 10-bit SAR ADC in battery-powered environmental sensors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision DC voltage source with minimal drift over temperature. Use Value: Delivers 8.7 V ±5% at 50 mA with <0.1% line regulation - sufficient for ratiometric sensor scaling without trimming. | Use Scenario: Excite resistive bridge sensors (e.g., load cells) in handheld test equipment. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fixed-voltage excitation source with low thermal coefficient. Use Value: Maintains <±0.02%/°C zener voltage drift from –40 °C to +85 °C, ensuring measurement stability across operating range. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX584C8V2LT1G | 8.2 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, 300 mW PD, SOD-523 package | Lower power rating and smaller footprint - unsuitable for >300 mW sustained dissipation | Select only for space-constrained designs where 8.2 V vs. 8.7 V and reduced power handling are acceptable |
| MMBZ5236BS-7-F | 8.2 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, 200 mW PD, SOT-23 package | Higher thermal resistance (~400 °C/W), larger footprint than SOD-123, dual-diode configuration | Use when dual-zener topology or board-level redundancy is required; not a direct replacement due to power and thermal limits |
Compared with BZX584C8V2LT1G and MMBZ5236BS-7-F, the MMSZ4695 RHG offers higher power capability (500 mW), lower thermal resistance (340 °C/W), and tighter voltage alignment to 8.7 V systems - making it preferable for single-diode, medium-power regulation where thermal margin and voltage accuracy are critical.
