Product details
Overview
MMSZ4711-E3-08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a silicon planar Zener diode with a nominal Zener voltage of 27 V, ±5 % tolerance, rated for 500 mW power dissipation on heatsink and 300 mW on FR-4 board, operating across -55 °C to +150 °C, used for precision voltage regulation in low-power analog reference and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MMSZ4711-E3-08 datasheet, MMSZ4711-E3-08 pinout, MMSZ4711-E3-08 application, or MMSZ4711-E3-08 equivalent, this device serves as a stable, AEC-Q101–qualified (via HE3_A variant) voltage reference with 0.01 μA reverse leakage at 20.4 V and thermal resistance junction-to-ambient of 420 K/W on standard PCB layout.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with test current IZT = 0.05 mA under thermal equilibrium conditions, delivering tightly controlled regulation within its 25.7 V to 28.4 V range. Its SOD-123 package enables surface-mount integration into space-constrained analog monitoring and feedback paths.
The device exhibits ESD robustness per AEC-Q101: >8 kV HBM and >800 V MM, and supports reflow soldering up to 260 °C peak temperature. Junction temperature is limited to 150 °C, with storage and operating ranges spanning -65 °C to +150 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 25.7 V min. / 27 V nom. / 28.4 V max. - defines precise clamping threshold for 24 V system rail protection and reference generation |
| Test Current (IZT) | 0.05 mA - specifies low-current bias point where VZ is guaranteed; enables ultra-low-power sensing applications |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.01 μA max. at 20.4 V - ensures minimal parasitic current draw in high-impedance bias networks |
| Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 300 mW on FR-4 board - sets maximum continuous power handling without heatsink or forced cooling |
| Thermal Resistance (RthJA) | 420 K/W - determines temperature rise above ambient per watt; critical for thermal design on standard PCB footprint |
| Operating Temperature | -55 °C to +150 °C - supports deployment in automotive engine control units and industrial sensor front-ends |
| ESD Rating | >8 kV HBM, >800 V MM - provides robustness against handling and board-level electrostatic discharge events |
Pinout & Package
SOD-123 surface-mount package: 2.7 mm × 1.55 mm body, 0.85 mm height, cathode marked by bar on top surface; RoHS-compliant molding compound (UL 94 V-0), MSL level 1, compatible with JEDEC J-STD-020 reflow profiles.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / Zener cathode reference ground | Connected to circuit ground or lower-potential node; reverse-biased operation requires cathode at higher potential |
| Cathode | Zener breakdown terminal / regulated output node | Provides stable 27 V reference when reverse-biased; polarity must be observed to avoid forward conduction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Silicon planar construction | Ensures repeatable Zener voltage distribution and long-term stability under thermal cycling |
| ±5 % VZ tolerance | Reduces need for post-production trimming in voltage reference designs; supports binning-free BOMs |
| AEC-Q101 qualification path | Enables direct use in automotive subsystems (e.g., body control modules) when specified as HE3_A variant |
| Low IR at 20.4 V | Minimizes loading error in high-resistance divider networks used for ADC input scaling |
| MSL Level 1 rating | Permits unlimited floor life and standard reflow without baking; simplifies manufacturing logistics |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C27LT1G | Zener voltage 25.65–28.35 V (±5 %), 300 mW Ptot, SOT-23 package, RthJA = 350 K/W | Smaller footprint but higher thermal resistance; less suitable for sustained 27 V regulation at >100 °C ambient | Select when board area is constrained and power dissipation remains below 150 mW |
| MMBZ5256BLT1G | Zener voltage 26.6–29.4 V (±5 %), 225 mW Ptot, SOT-23, IR = 0.1 μA at 22.8 V | Higher leakage and lower power rating limit use in precision low-current references | Prefer for cost-sensitive consumer applications where 27 V tolerance and thermal margin are secondary |
Compared with BZX84-C27LT1G and MMBZ5256BLT1G, the MMSZ4711-E3-08 offers superior thermal performance (420 K/W vs. 350/450 K/W) and tighter leakage control (0.01 μA vs. 0.1 μA), making it optimal for high-reliability 24 V system regulation where long-term stability and elevated ambient operation are required.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the MMSZ4711-E3-08?
The MMSZ4711-E3-08 has a nominal Zener voltage of 27 V with a tolerance of ±5 %, meaning its actual breakdown voltage falls between 25.7 V and 28.4 V at the specified test current of 0.05 mA. This tolerance is measured under thermal equilibrium conditions and applies to all units shipped under this part number.
Is the MMSZ4711-E3-08 qualified for automotive applications?
The MMSZ4711-E3-08 itself is the commercial-grade RoHS-compliant version. For automotive use, Vishay offers the MMSZ4711-HE3_A-08 variant, which is AEC-Q101 qualified. The MMSZ4711-E3-08 shares identical electrical and mechanical specifications but lacks the extended stress testing required for automotive qualification.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for the MMSZ4711-E3-08?
The MMSZ4711-E3-08 exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current of 0.01 μA at 20.4 V (76 % of nominal VZ). This ultra-low leakage supports high-impedance bias networks and precision reference applications where parasitic current must remain below 10 nA.
Can the MMSZ4711-E3-08 be used in reflow soldering processes?
Yes, the MMSZ4711-E3-08 uses an SOD-123 package rated for lead-free reflow soldering with a peak temperature of up to 260 °C, compliant with JEDEC J-STD-020. Its MSL Level 1 classification allows indefinite dry pack storage without baking prior to assembly.
How does the thermal resistance of the MMSZ4711-E3-08 affect its power handling?
With a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RthJA) of 420 K/W on FR-4 board, the MMSZ4711-E3-08 reaches its 150 °C maximum junction temperature at just 300 mW dissipation under typical ambient conditions. Derating is required above 75 °C ambient to maintain safe operation-e.g., ≤180 mW at 100 °C ambient.
