Product details
Overview
MMSZ5231BS-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount Zener diode with a nominal zener voltage of 5.1 V (4.85–5.36 V range), 200 mW power dissipation, and 17 Ω zener 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 MMSZ5231BS-7-F datasheet, MMSZ5231BS-7-F pinout, MMSZ5231BS-7-F application, or MMSZ5231BS-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance, dynamic impedance at specified test current, thermal resistance (625 °C/W), reverse leakage at rated voltage (5 µA @ 2.0 V), and SOD-323 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device employs planar die construction for stable breakdown characteristics and low parameter drift over temperature. Its SOD-323 package supports automated placement and reflow soldering, with cathode band polarity marking and matte tin-plated Alloy 42 leads meeting MIL-STD-202 solderability requirements.
The zener operates under controlled pulse conditions (short duration) to minimize self-heating effects during testing. Electrical parameters-including VZ, IZT, ZZT, and IR-are specified at TA = +25 °C unless noted, and derating follows the published power curve (Fig. 1) above 25 °C ambient.
Key Specifications

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for MMSZ5231BS-7-F at 2.0 V?
The maximum reverse leakage current is 5.0 µA at VR = 2.0 V and TA = +25 °C, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This value remains stable up to +125 °C ambient, with typical leakage increasing to ≈12 µA at elevated temperature per characterization curves in DS31038.
Can MMSZ5231BS-7-F be used in place of a 5 V TTL logic clamp?
No-it is not rated for fast transient suppression like TVS diodes. With 30 pF capacitance and 17 Ω dynamic impedance, it responds too slowly for ESD pulses. Its role is steady-state voltage regulation, not surge clamping; use dedicated TVS devices (e.g., DZ23C5V1) for logic line protection.
Is the SOD-323 package compatible with standard reflow profiles?
Yes-the device is qualified for lead-free reflow per J-STD-020D Level 1 moisture sensitivity. Recommended peak temperature is 260 °C for ≤10 seconds, with ramp rates matching IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 guidelines. Pad layout per AP02001 ensures optimal thermal transfer and solder joint reliability.
How does thermal derating affect power handling above 25 °C?
Power dissipation must be linearly derated above +25 °C ambient at 0.32 mW/°C (200 mW ÷ 625 °C/W), reaching zero at +175 °C. At +85 °C ambient, maximum allowable power drops to 128 mW-verified by Fig. 1 in DS31038 and validated on standard FR-4 with AP02001 pad geometry.
