Product details
Overview
MMSZ5226BQ-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is an automotive-grade 3.3 V, 500 mW surface-mount Zener diode in SOD123 package, rated for 20 mA test current, 28 Ω dynamic impedance at 1 kHz, and 25 µA reverse leakage at 1.0 V, used for precision voltage regulation and reference in power supply feedback loops.
For engineers reviewing the MMSZ5226BQ-7-F datasheet, MMSZ5226BQ-7-F pinout, MMSZ5226BQ-7-F application, or MMSZ5226BQ-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±3.6%), thermal resistance (338 °C/W), AEC-Q101 qualification, and SOD123 footprint compatibility with automated PCB assembly.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable 3.3 V output across varying load and temperature conditions. Its 28 Ω Zener impedance at 20 mA ensures low voltage deviation under dynamic current changes, while the 25 µA reverse leakage at VR = 1.0 V supports low-power biasing in sensing and reference circuits.
Designed for automotive environments, it meets AEC-Q101 stress testing requirements and features a matte tin–plated alloy 42 leadframe with moisture sensitivity level 1. The SOD123 package enables compact layout and high thermal dissipation on FR-4 PCBs with 1-inch copper pad.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage | 3.3 V nominal, 3.14–3.47 V range at 20 mA - defines regulated output voltage tolerance for feedback networks. |
| Power Dissipation | 370 mW at TA = +25°C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling on standard PCB layout. |
| Zener Impedance | 28 Ω at 1 kHz, 20 mA - determines AC voltage variation under ripple or transient load shifts. |
| Reverse Leakage | 25 µA at VR = 1.0 V - ensures minimal quiescent current draw in low-power voltage reference paths. |
| Thermal Resistance | 338 °C/W junction-to-ambient - quantifies temperature rise per watt on standard FR-4 mounting. |
| Operating Temp | −65°C to +150°C - supports under-hood and industrial control applications without derating. |

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for MMSZ5226BQ-7-F?
The MMSZ5226BQ-7-F has a nominal Zener voltage of 3.3 V with a guaranteed range of 3.14 V to 3.47 V at 20 mA test current, corresponding to ±3.6% tolerance. This specification is verified per DS18010 Rev. 28 and applies across the full operating temperature range of −65°C to +150°C.
Is MMSZ5226BQ-7-F compatible with lead-free reflow soldering?
Yes - MMSZ5226BQ-7-F uses matte tin–plated alloy 42 leads and is qualified for lead-free reflow per JEDEC J-STD-020. Its SOD123 package withstands peak temperatures up to 260°C for 10 seconds, and its moisture sensitivity level is rated Level 1, eliminating bake requirements prior to assembly.
How does the thermal performance differ between TA and TL conditions?
At TA = +25°C, maximum power dissipation is 370 mW; at TL = +75°C (lead temperature), it rises to 500 mW. This reflects the device's ability to dissipate more heat when leads are actively cooled - critical for high-reliability automotive layouts using thermal vias and copper pours to manage junction temperature.
Can MMSZ5226BQ-7-F replace MMSZ5226B-7-F in existing designs?
Yes - MMSZ5226BQ-7-F shares identical electrical characteristics and SOD123 mechanical dimensions with the commercial MMSZ5226B-7-F, differing only in AEC-Q101 qualification and traceability documentation. No layout or schematic changes are required for drop-in replacement in automotive designs.
