Product details
Overview
MMSZ5226B-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a 3.3 V, 500 mW surface-mount Zener diode in SOD-123 package, rated for 20 mA test current with 28 Ω dynamic impedance at 1 kHz and 25 µA reverse leakage at 1.0 V, widely used for voltage regulation and reference in power supply feedback loops and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MMSZ5226B-7-F datasheet, MMSZ5226B-7-F pinout, MMSZ5226B-7-F application, or MMSZ5226B-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include nominal Zener voltage tolerance (±3.6%), thermal resistance (338 °C/W), AEC-Q101 qualification status, SOD-123 footprint compatibility, and low-leakage performance at sub-breakdown bias.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable voltage across its terminals under varying load and temperature conditions. Its 3.3 V nominal Zener voltage exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of approximately +0.04 %/°C, enabling predictable drift behavior in precision references.
The device delivers regulated output within ±3.6% tolerance (3.14–3.47 V) at 20 mA test current, with low dynamic impedance (28 Ω) ensuring minimal voltage variation under transient current changes, and supports continuous operation from –65 °C to +150 °C ambient.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous Zener current for MMSZ5226B-7-F at 25°C ambient?
The device supports up to 20 mA test current per datasheet specifications, but maximum continuous current is limited by power dissipation: at 3.3 V, 370 mW rating allows ~112 mA theoretically; however, thermal derating and junction temperature limits constrain practical operation to ≤60 mA on standard FR-4 PCB layouts.
Is MMSZ5226B-7-F suitable for use in automotive applications?
Yes - it is explicitly qualified to AEC-Q101 standards, including stress testing for temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias, and electrostatic discharge, making it approved for under-hood and body control module applications per automotive OEM requirements.
How does the SOD-123 package compare to SOD-323 for this Zener diode?
SOD-123 measures 2.65 mm × 1.55 mm × 1.05 mm and handles 370 mW at 25°C, while SOD-323 is smaller (1.7 mm × 1.25 mm × 0.95 mm) and typically rated for ≤200 mW; the larger SOD-123 enables better thermal performance and higher surge current capability in regulation circuits.
What is the typical temperature coefficient of MMSZ5226B-7-F?
Per Figure 6 in the datasheet, the MMSZ5226B (3.3 V type) exhibits a temperature coefficient of approximately +0.04 %/°C - meaning its Zener voltage increases by ~1.32 mV/°C over the operating range, enabling predictable compensation in reference designs.
