Product details
Overview
MMSZ5223B-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a 2.7 V, 500 mW surface-mount Zener diode in SOD123 package, rated for 20 mA test current with 1.3 kΩ dynamic impedance at 1 kHz and 75 µA reverse leakage at 1.0 V reverse bias. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in low-power analog signal conditioning and power rail stabilization circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MMSZ5223B-7-F datasheet, MMSZ5223B-7-F pinout, MMSZ5223B-7-F application, or MMSZ5223B-7-F equivalent, this part delivers verified 2.7 V regulation with ±4.4% tolerance, AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use, RoHS-compliant green packaging, and thermal performance validated up to +150°C junction temperature.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable voltage across its terminals under varying load and temperature conditions. Its 2.7 V nominal Zener voltage is specified at 20 mA test current, with 1.3 kΩ impedance at that point and 1,300 Ω knee impedance at 0.25 mA, ensuring predictable regulation onset.
The device exhibits a negative temperature coefficient typical of low-voltage Zeners, with TC ≈ −0.06 %/°C near 2.7 V (per Figure 6), and is characterized for operation from −65°C to +150°C with 338 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on FR-4 PCB.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 2.7 V nominal, 2.57–2.84 V min/max range at 20 mA - defines precise clamping threshold for 3.3 V rail monitoring or sensor biasing. |
| Power Dissipation | 370 mW @ TA = +25°C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling on standard PCB layout. |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 1.3 kΩ @ 20 mA, 1 kHz - determines AC regulation stability in feedback loops or noise-sensitive references. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 75 µA @ VR = 1.0 V - confirms low standby current draw in battery-powered voltage detection circuits. |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 338 °C/W - enables thermal derating calculation for ambient temperatures above +25°C per Figure 1. |
| Operating Temperature | −65°C to +150°C - supports deployment in under-hood automotive modules and industrial control enclosures. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX584C2V7 | 2.7 V, 300 mW, SOD-323 package, 1.2 kΩ ZZT, 100 µA IR @ 1 V | Lower power rating and smaller footprint; less thermal margin in high-ambient environments. | Select when board space is constrained and peak power remains below 300 mW. |
| MM3Z2V7W | 2.7 V, 200 mW, SOD-323, 1.5 kΩ ZZT, 50 µA IR @ 1 V, AEC-Q200 qualified | Lower power and higher impedance; tighter 50 µA leakage but reduced surge capability. | Prefer for cost-sensitive consumer applications where AEC-Q200 suffices and 200 mW is adequate. |
Compared with BZX584C2V7 and MM3Z2V7W, MMSZ5223B-7-F offers superior thermal robustness (370 mW @ +25°C vs. ≤200 mW), lower leakage than BZX584C2V7, and AEC-Q101 qualification-making it optimal for automotive and industrial designs requiring sustained reliability under thermal stress.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage before breakdown for MMSZ5223B-7-F?
The MMSZ5223B-7-F has a nominal Zener voltage of 2.7 V, with guaranteed breakdown occurring between 2.57 V and 2.84 V at 20 mA test current. Below 1.0 V reverse bias, leakage remains ≤75 µA - no hard "maximum reverse voltage" is defined outside the Zener region, as it functions only in controlled reverse breakdown.
Can MMSZ5223B-7-F be used in place of a 3.3 V Zener diode?
No - MMSZ5223B-7-F is strictly a 2.7 V Zener device with ±4.4% tolerance. Substituting it for a 3.3 V part (e.g., MMSZ5227B) would result in premature conduction and incorrect voltage clamping. Always match nominal Zener voltage to circuit requirements; 2.7 V is appropriate for 3.3 V rail undershoot detection or low-threshold biasing, not 3.3 V regulation.
Is the SOD123 package lead-free and RoHS compliant?
Yes - MMSZ5223B-7-F uses matte tin finish over Alloy 42 leadframe, contains no purposely added lead, and is fully RoHS 2 (2011/65/EU) compliant. It also meets Diodes Incorporated's "Green" definition: <900 ppm bromine, <900 ppm chlorine, <1000 ppm antimony, and UL 94V-0 flammability rating.
How does temperature affect the Zener voltage of MMSZ5223B-7-F?
Per Figure 6 in DS18010, MMSZ5223B-7-F exhibits a negative temperature coefficient of approximately −0.06 %/°C near 2.7 V. This means its Zener voltage decreases by ~1.6 mV/°C over the operating range; at +125°C, VZ drops ~1.6 V from its +25°C value - a critical factor in high-temperature voltage reference designs.
