Product details
Overview
MMSZ5230BS-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount silicon Zener diode with a nominal zener voltage of 4.7 V, ±5% tolerance (4.4–4.94 V), 20 mA test current, 19 Ω dynamic impedance at test current, and 200 mW power dissipation in SOD-323 package. It provides precise voltage regulation in low-power biasing, reference, and protection circuits for consumer power supplies and sensor signal conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the MMSZ5230BS-7-F datasheet, MMSZ5230BS-7-F pinout, MMSZ5230BS-7-F application, or MMSZ5230BS-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage accuracy at 20 mA, low dynamic impedance under regulation, thermal resistance (625 °C/W), reverse leakage (≤5 µA at 2.0 V), and SOD-323 footprint compatibility with automated PCB assembly.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable voltage across its terminals under varying load or input conditions. Its planar die construction ensures consistent breakdown characteristics and low leakage, while the SOD-323 package enables high-density placement and reflow compatibility.
The device is rated for operation from –65 °C to +150 °C, with thermal resistance of 625 °C/W on FR-4 board using recommended pad layout. Its 19 Ω zener impedance at 20 mA supports tight regulation in low-current references, and 5 µA max reverse leakage at 2.0 V VR enables reliable performance in battery-powered sensing nodes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 4.7 V nominal, 4.4–4.94 V range at IZT = 20 mA - defines regulated output level in reference/bias circuits |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 200 mW - limits continuous operating current to ~42 mA at 4.7 V without derating |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 19 Ω at IZT = 20 mA - determines regulation stiffness and output voltage deviation under load change |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤5.0 µA at VR = 2.0 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in standby or low-power monitoring paths |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 625 °C/W - requires thermal-aware layout (e.g., copper pour) for sustained 200 mW operation at ambient >70 °C |
| Package | SOD-323 - 1.7 mm × 1.25 mm footprint, cathode band polarity, compatible with 0.3 mm pitch pick-and-place |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOD-323 - surface-mount plastic case, 0.004 g weight, UL 94V-0 rated, moisture sensitivity level 1, matte tin-plated Alloy 42 leadframe.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / Zener cathode reference ground | Connected to circuit ground or lower-potential node; reverse-biased operation places cathode at regulated voltage |
| Cathode | Zener breakdown terminal / regulated output node | Connected to supply rail or reference point; maintains 4.7 V relative to anode when reverse current ≥20 mA |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX584-C4V7 | Same 4.7 V nominal, but ±2% tolerance (4.61–4.79 V); higher 250 mW rating; SOD-523 package (smaller, 1.3 × 0.85 mm) | Preferred where tighter voltage tolerance and higher surge margin are required, but demands finer pitch placement and reflow control | Select when ±2% regulation accuracy outweighs SOD-323 footprint familiarity and thermal margin trade-off |
| MMBZ5230BS | Identical electrical specs (4.7 V, 20 mA, 19 Ω), but in SOT-23 package (3.0 × 1.4 mm); higher RθJA = 350 °C/W | Better suited for hand-soldering or prototyping; less optimal for high-density automated assembly due to larger footprint | Choose for lab validation or low-volume builds where SOT-23 tooling exists and thermal derating is acceptable |
Compared with BZX584-C4V7 and MMBZ5230BS, MMSZ5230BS-7-F offers the best balance of industry-standard SOD-323 compatibility, proven manufacturability, and thermal performance for volume production - especially where ±5% tolerance and 200 mW dissipation meet system requirements without over-engineering.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for MMSZ5230BS-7-F at 2.0 V?
The maximum reverse leakage current is 5.0 µA at VR = 2.0 V, measured per DS31038 Rev. 13–2. This value is specified at TA = +25 °C and ensures minimal loading in low-power bias networks, such as those used in battery-operated sensor interfaces or standby voltage monitors.
Can MMSZ5230BS-7-F be used in place of a 5.1 V Zener diode?
No - MMSZ5230BS-7-F has a nominal zener voltage of 4.7 V (4.4–4.94 V range), whereas a 5.1 V part (e.g., MMSZ5231BS) is specified at 5.1 V (4.85–5.36 V). Substituting would cause systematic 0.4 V regulation error, potentially violating downstream IC input voltage tolerances or reference accuracy targets.
What is the thermal resistance of MMSZ5230BS-7-F on standard FR-4 PCB?
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) is 625 °C/W when mounted on FR-4 with Diodes Incorporated's recommended pad layout (AP02001). This value assumes no additional copper pour; adding thermal vias or copper planes can reduce RθJA by up to 30%, enabling higher sustained power in thermally constrained designs.
Is MMSZ5230BS-7-F suitable for automotive applications?
MMSZ5230BS-7-F meets AEC-Q200 stress test requirements for passive components when qualified per Diodes Incorporated's automotive-grade variants (e.g., MMSZ5230BS-Q), but the standard -7-F version is not AEC-Q200 qualified. For non-safety-critical infotainment or body electronics, it may be used with customer qualification; for ADAS or powertrain, only the Q-grade variant is appropriate.
