Product details
Overview
MMSZ4704 RHG from Taiwan Semiconductor is a surface-mount 17 V Zener diode in SOD-123 package, rated for 500 mW steady-state power dissipation, with ±5% nominal voltage tolerance (16.15–17.85 V), 50 µA test current, and 12.9 µA leakage at 13.6 V reverse bias. It serves as a precision voltage reference and overvoltage clamp in low-power analog signal conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MMSZ4704 RHG datasheet, MMSZ4704 RHG pinout, MMSZ4704 RHG application, or MMSZ4704 RHG equivalent, key selection criteria include its 17 V nominal Zener voltage, 500 mW power rating, SOD-123 thermal resistance (340°C/W), junction temperature range (−55°C to +150°C), and RoHS/halogen-free compliance for space-constrained industrial and consumer PCB designs.
Technical Context
The MMSZ4704 RHG operates as a silicon planar Zener diode optimized for stable reverse-breakdown regulation under DC or low-frequency transient conditions. Its design targets fixed-voltage reference generation and overvoltage protection where tight voltage tolerance and low leakage are required.
It exhibits a dynamic impedance of ≤40 Ω at IZT = 50 µA and typical capacitance of 25 pF at 1 V bias (f = 1 MHz), supporting stable performance in feedback networks and ESD-adjacent clamping nodes without introducing significant signal distortion.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C16LT1G | 16 V nominal, SOT-23 package, 300 mW rating, higher leakage (25 µA @ 12.8 V) | Lower power handling and looser voltage tolerance (±6%) limit use in precision references | Preferred only where board space permits SOT-23 and 16 V suffices |
| MMBZ5246BS-7-F | 16 V nominal, SOD-323 package, 200 mW rating, tighter tolerance (±5%) but lower PD | Insufficient power margin for sustained 17 V clamping; unsuitable for >100 µA load currents | Select only for ultra-compact layouts where thermal derating is acceptable |
Compared with BZX84-C16LT1G and MMBZ5246BS-7-F, the MMSZ4704 RHG offers superior power capability (500 mW vs. ≤300 mW), exact 17 V nominal voltage, and lower leakage-making it the optimal choice for industrial voltage reference and clamping where thermal stability and accuracy are critical.
