Product details
Overview
MMSZ5229BS-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount 4.3 V Zener diode in SOD-323 package, rated for 200 mW power dissipation, 22 Ω zener impedance at 20 mA test current, and 5.0 µA reverse leakage at 1.0 V reverse bias. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in low-power analog signal conditioning and power rail stabilization circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MMSZ5229BS-7 datasheet, MMSZ5229BS-7 pinout, MMSZ5229BS-7 application, or MMSZ5229BS-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include nominal zener voltage tolerance (±5%), thermal resistance (625 °C/W), cathode-band polarity marking, and compatibility with automated SMT assembly on FR-4 PCBs using J-STD-020D Level 1 moisture handling.
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 (22 Ω at IZT = 20 mA) for reliable regulation in low-current (<20 mA) applications.
The device exhibits 5.0 µA maximum reverse leakage at VR = 1.0 V and a forward voltage of 0.9 V at IF = 10 mA. Its SOD-323 package supports high-density layouts and complies with RoHS, halogen-free, and antimony-free "Green" requirements per Diodes Incorporated specifications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (Nominal) | 4.3 V - Stable regulation point at 20 mA test current, ±5% tolerance (4.09–4.52 V) |
| Power Dissipation | 200 mW - Maximum continuous DC power at 25°C ambient; derates linearly above 25°C per Fig. 1 |
| Zener Impedance | 22 Ω @ IZT = 20 mA - Low dynamic resistance enables tight voltage regulation under load variation |
| Reverse Leakage Current | 5.0 µA @ VR = 1.0 V - Minimal off-state current ensures low quiescent power in standby circuits |
| Forward Voltage | 0.9 V @ IF = 10 mA - Predictable conduction threshold for polarity-sensitive protection schemes |
| Thermal Resistance | 625 °C/W - Junction-to-ambient value assumes standard FR-4 pad layout per AP02001 |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOD-323 - ultra-small plastic surface-mount case (2.30–2.70 mm length, 1.20–1.40 mm width, 0.25–0.35 mm thickness), cathode indicated by band marking, lead-free matte tin plating, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / Zener cathode reference | Connected to lower-potential node in reverse-bias regulation; forms reference ground return path |
| Cathode | Zener breakdown terminal / voltage reference output | Marked with band; connected to regulated rail; defines clamping voltage relative to anode |
Key Features

Use Scenario: Limiting analog sensor output swing to protect MCU input pins from overvoltage. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional clamp (forward + reverse) defining safe signal envelope. Use Value: 0.9 V forward drop and 4.3 V reverse breakdown define symmetric ±4.3 V clipping window. |
Use Scenario: Providing brown-out detection threshold for PIC or ARM Cortex-M reset logic. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Voltage-sensing element triggering external reset IC or internal BOD comparator. Use Value: Tight 4.09–4.52 V tolerance enables precise reset activation at 4.3 V ±5%, avoiding false triggers. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX584-C4V3 | 4.3 V nominal, 300 mW rating, SOD-323, higher power but larger zener impedance (40 Ω) | Preferred where higher surge energy absorption is required; less suitable for low-current precision references | Select when >200 mW dissipation margin is needed; verify thermal layout for 300 mW derating |
| MMBZ5229BS | Same electrical specs and SOD-323 package, but in SOT-23 (larger footprint, higher RθJA = 350 °C/W) | Better thermal performance in high-ambient environments; incompatible with ultra-dense SOD-323 layouts | Choose if board space allows SOT-23 and junction temperature must stay below 125°C at 150 mW |
Compared with BZX584-C4V3 and MMBZ5229BS, MMSZ5229BS-7 offers optimal balance of size, low leakage (5 µA), and tight regulation (22 Ω) for space-constrained, low-power analog designs-whereas alternatives trade either footprint, impedance, or thermal capability.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage before breakdown for MMSZ5229BS-7?
The nominal Zener voltage is 4.3 V with a guaranteed range of 4.09 V to 4.52 V at 20 mA test current. Breakdown occurs within this range under specified test conditions; operation below 1.0 V reverse bias yields ≤5.0 µA leakage, per datasheet Table on page 2.
Can MMSZ5229BS-7 be used in place of a 3.3 V Zener diode?
No - MMSZ5229BS-7 is specifically rated for 4.3 V nominal Zener voltage. For 3.3 V regulation, MMSZ5226BS (3.3 V, ±5%) is the correct variant in the same series and package, with matching 200 mW rating and SOD-323 footprint.
Is the SOD-323 package compatible with reflow soldering per J-STD-020?
Yes - the device is rated for moisture sensitivity level 1 per J-STD-020D and supports standard Pb-free reflow profiles. Diodes Incorporated recommends using the pad layout in application note AP02001 for optimal thermal and mechanical reliability.
Does MMSZ5229BS-7 have a specified capacitance value?
No specific capacitance is listed in the DS31038 datasheet. Figure 4 shows typical total capacitance vs. nominal Zener voltage, estimating ~30–35 pF for 4.3 V devices at 0 V bias and 1 MHz - but this is not a guaranteed parameter and should be verified experimentally in high-frequency applications.
