Product details
Overview
MMSZ5223BQ-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is an AEC-Q101-qualified 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, used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in automotive power rails.
For engineers reviewing the MMSZ5223BQ-7-F datasheet, MMSZ5223BQ-7-F pinout, MMSZ5223BQ-7-F application, or MMSZ5223BQ-7-F equivalent, this part delivers automotive-grade stability, low-profile SOD123 mounting compatibility, and verified Zener voltage tolerance (±4.4%) under production thermal conditions.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain a stable 2.7 V reference across load variations and temperature shifts. Its 1.3 kΩ impedance at 1 kHz and ±0.08%/°C temperature coefficient ensure predictable regulation in low-power biasing and feedback networks.
Designed for automotive environments, it sustains operation from −65°C to +150°C and meets AEC-Q101 stress testing requirements including HTGB, TCT, and HAST. The SOD123 package supports automated placement and provides 338°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on FR-4 PCBs.
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 precise clamping threshold for 3.3 V rail monitoring |
| Power Dissipation | 370 mW @ TA = 25°C - limits continuous dissipation without heatsinking on standard PCB layout |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 30 Ω @ IZT = 20 mA, 1 kHz - ensures minimal output voltage variation under dynamic load transients |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 75 µA @ VR = 1.0 V - guarantees low standby current in always-on sensing circuits |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 338 °C/W - determines junction temperature rise under 370 mW load on typical 1-inch copper pad |
| Operating Temperature | −65°C to +150°C - enables deployment in engine control units and under-hood modules |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOD123 - surface-mount plastic case with cathode band marking, 1.55 mm width, 2.65 mm length, 1.05 mm height, matte tin-plated Alloy 42 leadframe, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

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 ±5%, 300 mW rating, SOD323 package, 100 Ω ZZT, higher 100 µA IR at 1 V | Smaller footprint but lower power handling; unsuitable for >250 mW sustained dissipation | Select when board space is constrained and thermal budget permits lower derating margin |
| MM3Z2V7W | 2.7 V ±5%, 200 mW rating, SOD323 package, 120 Ω ZZT, 10 µA IR at 1 V | Lower leakage but significantly reduced power capability; not qualified to AEC-Q101 | Prefer for ultra-low-power portable devices where automotive qualification is unnecessary |
Compared with BZX584C2V7 and MM3Z2V7W, MMSZ5223BQ-7-F offers superior automotive reliability, higher 370 mW ambient-rated power, and tighter 2.57–2.84 V tolerance-making it the only choice for thermally demanding, safety-critical vehicle subsystems.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous Zener current for MMSZ5223BQ-7-F at 85°C ambient?
At 85°C ambient, the device's power derating curve reduces its allowable dissipation to approximately 290 mW. With a nominal 2.7 V Zener voltage, this corresponds to a maximum continuous Zener current of ~107 mA. This value assumes standard FR-4 PCB layout with 1-inch copper pad per Diodes' datasheet test condition.
Does MMSZ5223BQ-7-F have a specified capacitance value?
No capacitance value is specified in the official DS18010 datasheet for MMSZ5223BQ-7-F. Figure 4 shows typical total capacitance for the MMSZ52xxB family decreasing with increasing Zener voltage, estimating ~30–40 pF for 2.7 V parts-but this is not a guaranteed parameter and should not be used in design-critical timing or filtering applications.
Can MMSZ5223BQ-7-F replace MMSZ5221B in a 2.4 V reference circuit?
No. MMSZ5221B has a nominal Zener voltage of 2.4 V (2.28–2.52 V range), while MMSZ5223BQ-7-F is rated at 2.7 V (2.57–2.84 V). Substituting them would shift the reference by ~12.5%, potentially causing ADC misreading or comparator latch-up in precision circuits.
Is the cathode band polarity consistent across all SOD123-packaged Diodes Incorporated Zeners?
Yes. All SOD123-packaged Zener diodes from Diodes Incorporated-including the MMSZ52xxB series-use a single black cathode band at the cathode end. The anode is the unmarked end, and polarity is confirmed in the top-view diagram on page 2 of DS18010 Rev. 28-2.
