Product details
Overview
MMSZ5225BS-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount 3.0 V Zener diode in SOD-323 package, rated for 200 mW power dissipation, 20 mA test current, and 1600 Ω maximum zener impedance at 20 mA; used for voltage regulation and reference in low-power analog circuits, such as sensor biasing and ADC reference stabilization.
For engineers reviewing the MMSZ5225BS-7-F datasheet, MMSZ5225BS-7-F pinout, MMSZ5225BS-7-F application, or MMSZ5225BS-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include nominal zener voltage (3.0 V ±5%), reverse leakage (≤50 µA at 1.0 V), thermal resistance (625 °C/W), and SOD-323 footprint compatibility with automated PCB assembly.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable voltage across its terminals under varying load or supply conditions. It features planar die construction for consistent breakdown characteristics and low dynamic impedance (1600 Ω max at 20 mA) enabling precise voltage clamping in signal conditioning paths.
Designed for ambient temperatures from –65 °C to +150 °C, it delivers reliable regulation in space-constrained industrial and consumer applications. Its 0.004 g mass and UL 94V-0 molded plastic case support lightweight, flame-retardant board-level integration without derating below 25 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage | 3.0 V nominal (2.85–3.15 V range at 20 mA); ensures tight regulation tolerance for precision reference use. |
| Power Dissipation | 200 mW at 25 °C; defines maximum continuous steady-state power before thermal shutdown or degradation. |
| Zener Impedance | 1600 Ω max at 20 mA; determines output voltage variation under load changes in regulation circuits. |
| Reverse Leakage | ≤50 µA at 1.0 V reverse bias; critical for low-current bias networks where leakage affects accuracy. |
| Thermal Resistance | 625 °C/W junction-to-ambient; sets temperature rise per watt on standard FR-4 layout, guiding thermal design. |
| Package | SOD-323; 2-pin surface-mount outline (2.3–2.7 mm length, 1.2–1.4 mm width) compatible with 0.5 mm pitch pick-and-place. |
Pinout & Package

| Low reverse leakage | 50 µA max at 1.0 V supports accurate biasing in micropower sensor front-ends and battery-operated systems. |
Applications
| Temperature Sensor Biasing | ADC Reference Stabilization |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX384-C3V0,115 (Nexperia) | Same 3.0 V nominal, but 300 mW rating and 150 Ω typical ZZT; SOD-323 package, 100 nA leakage at 1 V. | Better regulation stability in high-precision references; higher power margin allows longer surge absorption. | Select when tighter impedance (<150 Ω) and sub-µA leakage are required for metrology-grade designs. |
| MMBZ5225BS-7-F (Diodes Inc.) | Identical electrical specs and marking code (C5), but SOT-23 package (3-pin, anode/cathode/common) instead of SOD-323. | Larger footprint; requires different pad layout and may not fit ultra-dense layouts. | Choose only if existing SOT-23 land pattern must be reused-no performance benefit over MMSZ5225BS-7-F. |
Compared with BZX384-C3V0,115, MMSZ5225BS-7-F offers lower cost and sufficient stability for industrial sensing, while MMBZ5225BS-7-F trades miniaturization for legacy footprint compatibility-neither is pin-compatible nor drop-in.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage this Zener can withstand before breakdown?
The MMSZ5225BS-7-F has a nominal zener voltage of 3.0 V with a guaranteed range of 2.85 V to 3.15 V at 20 mA test current. Breakdown begins within this range; operation above 3.15 V under sustained current exceeds specification and risks thermal runaway. It is not rated for blocking voltages beyond its zener range.
Can this device be used in series to achieve higher regulated voltage?
No-MMSZ5225BS-7-F is not characterized or tested for series operation. Zener tolerances, impedance mismatches, and thermal coupling between devices cause unpredictable voltage division and potential thermal instability. Use a single higher-voltage Zener or dedicated voltage-reference IC instead.
Is the SOD-323 package compatible with reflow soldering per J-STD-020?
Yes-the device is rated for moisture sensitivity level 1 and qualified for standard Pb-free reflow profiles (peak 260 °C, 60 sec max). Its matte tin plating and UL 94V-0 mold compound ensure reliable wetting and no delamination during JEDEC-compliant thermal cycling.
Does this Zener diode have specified capacitance for high-frequency filtering?
No-capacitance is not characterized in the DS31038 datasheet. Figure 4 shows typical total capacitance decreasing with increasing zener voltage, but no value is given for 3.0 V. For RF bypass or noise filtering, select a device with published CT (e.g., BZX84-C3V3) or add external ceramic capacitance.
