Product details
Overview
MMSZ5230BS-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount Zener diode with a nominal zener voltage of 4.7 V, ±5% tolerance (4.47–4.94 V), 200 mW power dissipation, and 19 Ω dynamic impedance at 20 mA test current. It operates from –65 °C to +150 °C and is used for precision voltage regulation and reference in low-power analog circuits, such as sensor biasing and ADC reference stabilization.
For engineers reviewing the MMSZ5230BS-7 datasheet, MMSZ5230BS-7 pinout, MMSZ5230BS-7 application, or MMSZ5230BS-7 equivalent, key selection factors include its SOD-323 package footprint, 5 µA reverse leakage at 2.0 V, 0.9 V forward voltage at 10 mA, thermal resistance of 625 °C/W, and RoHS-compliant lead-free plating.
Technical Context
This Zener diode employs planar die construction for stable breakdown characteristics and tight voltage tolerance across temperature. Its 200 mW power rating and 625 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance are defined under JEDEC-standard FR-4 PCB mounting with recommended pad layout (AP02001).
The device delivers 4.7 V regulation with 19 Ω impedance at IZT = 20 mA and maintains ≤5 µA reverse leakage at VR = 2.0 V - enabling use in low-current reference nodes where stability and minimal loading matter.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX384-B4V7,115 (Nexperia) | Same 4.7 V nominal, ±5%, SOD-323, but 300 mW rating and 40 Ω ZZT | Higher power margin suits intermittent surge clamping; higher impedance reduces reference precision | Select when robustness to short-duration transients outweighs reference accuracy needs |
| MMBZ5230BS-7-F (Diodes Inc.) | Identical electrical specs, but SOT-23 package (larger footprint, better thermal dissipation) | Preferred for manual rework or higher ambient temperatures (>85 °C) | Choose when board assembly allows larger footprint and thermal management is prioritized over miniaturization |
Compared with BZX384-B4V7,115 and MMBZ5230BS-7-F, the MMSZ5230BS-7 offers optimal balance of size, precision (19 Ω ZZT), and low leakage for space-constrained reference designs - whereas alternatives trade either accuracy, footprint, or thermal capability.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage this Zener can withstand before breakdown?
The MMSZ5230BS-7 has a nominal Zener voltage of 4.7 V with a guaranteed range of 4.47 V to 4.94 V at 20 mA test current. Breakdown occurs within this band - it is not rated for sustained reverse voltage above 4.94 V. Exceeding this risks irreversible avalanche degradation if power dissipation exceeds 200 mW.
Can this device be used in place of a 5.1 V Zener like MMSZ5231BS?
No - the MMSZ5230BS-7 is specified at 4.7 V (4.47–4.94 V), while MMSZ5231BS is 5.1 V (4.85–5.36 V). Substituting them alters reference voltage by >8%, which exceeds typical analog system tolerances. Circuit recalibration or redesign would be required to maintain accuracy.
Is the SOD-323 package compatible with standard reflow profiles?
Yes - the MMSZ5230BS-7 is qualified for lead-free reflow per J-STD-020D Level 1 moisture sensitivity. Its matte tin finish and Alloy 42 leadframe support peak temperatures up to 260 °C. Recommended profile uses ramp rate ≤3 °C/s, preheat 150–200 °C for 60–120 s, and time above liquidus 60–90 s at 235–245 °C.
Does this Zener diode have specified capacitance for high-frequency applications?
Yes - typical total capacitance is ~30 pF at 0 V bias and 1 MHz (per Figure 4 in DS31038). This value increases slightly with applied reverse voltage. For RF bypass or high-speed clamping, this capacitance must be accounted for in impedance matching and signal integrity analysis.
