Product details
Overview
MMSZ5223BS-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount 2.7 V Zener diode in SOD-323 package, rated for 200 mW power dissipation, 30 Ω maximum zener impedance at 20 mA test current, and 75 µA maximum reverse leakage at 1.0 V reverse voltage. It provides precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in low-power analog signal conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MMSZ5223BS-7 datasheet, MMSZ5223BS-7 pinout, MMSZ5223BS-7 application, or MMSZ5223BS-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include nominal zener voltage tolerance (±4.4%), thermal resistance (625 °C/W), cathode-band polarity marking, JEDEC-compliant SOD-323 footprint, and RoHS/halogen-free compliance for consumer and industrial PCB assembly.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable voltage across its terminals under controlled current conditions. Its planar die construction ensures consistent breakdown characteristics and low dynamic impedance (30 Ω at IZT = 20 mA) with minimal temperature drift over −65 °C to +150 °C operating range.
The device exhibits 1300 Ω maximum zener impedance at knee current (IZK = 0.25 mA), enabling reliable regulation even at low bias currents. Its 0.004 g mass and UL 94V-0 molded plastic case support high-density automated placement and reflow soldering on FR-4 PCBs with recommended pad layout AP02001.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX384-B2V7 | Same 2.7 V nominal, but 300 mW rating and SOD-323 package; 20 Ω max ZZT at 5 mA | Higher power margin supports higher current reference loads; lower test current eases bias resistor selection | Prefer when >10 mA reference current or extended thermal margin required |
| MMBZ5223BS | Identical electrical specs but SOT-23 package (3-pin); anode/cathode pins differ; 350 mW rating | Larger footprint accommodates manual prototyping; higher PD allows parallel use in higher-current rails | Choose for breadboard evaluation or where SOT-23 pick-and-place infrastructure exists |
Compared with BZX384-B2V7 and MMBZ5223BS, MMSZ5223BS-7 offers the smallest footprint and strictest RoHS/halogen compliance, making it optimal for space-constrained, high-volume consumer PCBs where 200 mW dissipation suffices.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage before breakdown for MMSZ5223BS-7?
The device maintains less than 75 µA leakage up to 1.0 V reverse voltage. Breakdown begins near 2.57 V (minimum specified zener voltage), with full regulation established at 20 mA test current. Operation below 1.0 V reverse ensures negligible current flow and no power dissipation.
Can MMSZ5223BS-7 be used in place of a 2.5 V Zener diode?
No - its nominal zener voltage is 2.7 V with a guaranteed range of 2.57–2.84 V. Substituting it for a 2.5 V part would shift reference levels by ≥70 mV, potentially violating ADC input range or comparator thresholds. Use MMSZ5221BS (2.4 V nominal) instead.
Does this Zener diode require a current-limiting resistor in all applications?
Yes - it must always be used with a series resistor to limit forward or reverse current to within 200 mW dissipation. For example, with a 5 V supply and 2.7 V zener, a minimum 115 Ω resistor limits current to 20 mA. Omitting the resistor risks immediate thermal failure.
Is the SOD-323 package compatible with standard reflow profiles?
Yes - its moisture sensitivity level is Level 1 per J-STD-020D, meaning it can be processed using standard lead-free reflow profiles (peak 260 °C) without baking. The matte tin finish on Alloy 42 leads ensures reliable solder wetting and joint integrity on ENIG and HASL finishes.
