Product details
Overview
MMSZ5223B-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 2.7 V, 500 mW surface-mount Zener diode in SOD-123 package, rated for 20 mA test current with 30 Ω dynamic impedance at 1 kHz and 75 µA reverse leakage at 1.0 V, widely used for voltage regulation and reference in low-power analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MMSZ5223B-7 datasheet, MMSZ5223B-7 pinout, MMSZ5223B-7 application, or MMSZ5223B-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include nominal Zener voltage tolerance (±4.4%), thermal resistance (338 °C/W), AEC-Q101 qualification status, and SOD-123 footprint compatibility with automated assembly.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable voltage across its terminals under varying load and temperature conditions. It features a cathode band polarity marking, matte tin-plated alloy 42 leadframe, and green molding compound compliant with RoHS, halogen-free, and antimony-free requirements.
The device delivers precise 2.7 V regulation with ±4.4% tolerance over 20 mA test current, exhibits 1,300 Ω knee impedance at 0.25 mA, and supports operation from –65 °C to +150 °C. Its power derating curve specifies 500 mW at 75 °C lead temperature and 370 mW at 25 °C ambient.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 2.7 V nominal, 2.57–2.84 V range at 20 mA - defines regulated output voltage tolerance for reference design |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 370 mW @ TA = 25 °C - sets maximum continuous power in standard PCB layout |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 30 Ω @ 1 kHz, 20 mA - indicates voltage stability under small-signal AC ripple |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 75 µA @ VR = 1.0 V - determines minimum bias current needed before breakdown onset |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 338 °C/W - quantifies junction-to-ambient temperature rise per watt on FR-4 board |
| Operating Temperature | –65 °C to +150 °C - enables use in automotive under-hood and industrial control environments |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOD-123 - surface-mount plastic case with cathode band marking, 0.01 g weight, UL 94V-0 flammability rating, and moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for MMSZ5223B-7?
The MMSZ5223B-7 has a nominal Zener voltage of 2.7 V with a guaranteed range of 2.57 V to 2.84 V at 20 mA test current, corresponding to ±4.4% tolerance. This specification is validated per DS18010 Rev. 28 and applies under standard 25 °C ambient conditions with specified thermal mounting.
Is MMSZ5223B-7 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the MMSZ5223B-7 is qualified to AEC-Q101 standards for high-reliability automotive use. Its construction includes green molding compound, matte tin plating, and full RoHS compliance, and it operates across –65 °C to +150 °C, meeting requirements for engine control units and body electronics.
How does thermal derating affect MMSZ5223B-7's power handling?
At 25 °C ambient, MMSZ5223B-7 dissipates up to 370 mW; at 75 °C lead temperature, it supports 500 mW. Derating follows a linear curve down to zero at 150 °C junction temperature. Designers must apply the 338 °C/W RθJA value with appropriate copper pad layout to ensure safe operation.
Can MMSZ5223B-7 replace MMSZ5221B in existing designs?
No-MMSZ5221B is a 2.4 V Zener (2.28–2.52 V range), while MMSZ5223B-7 is 2.7 V (2.57–2.84 V). Substituting changes reference voltage by 0.3 V, potentially causing ADC offset errors or comparator trip-point shifts. Circuit recalibration or resistor-divider adjustment would be required.
