Product details
Overview
MMSZ5233BS-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount silicon Zener diode with a nominal zener voltage of 6.0 V (5.70–6.30 V range), 200 mW power dissipation, 7 Ω zener impedance at 20 mA test current, and 5.0 µA maximum reverse leakage at 3.5 V. It is used for precision voltage regulation and reference in low-power analog circuits, including sensor biasing and ADC reference stabilization.
For engineers reviewing the MMSZ5233BS-7 datasheet, MMSZ5233BS-7 pinout, MMSZ5233BS-7 application, or MMSZ5233BS-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance, dynamic impedance at operating current, thermal resistance (625 °C/W), and SOD-323 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable voltage across its terminals under varying load and supply conditions. Its planar die construction ensures consistent voltage regulation and low temperature coefficient, while the SOD-323 package supports automated placement and reflow soldering.
The device delivers 6.0 V regulation at 20 mA test current with ±5% tolerance, 7 Ω dynamic impedance, and 5.0 µA leakage at VR = 3.5 V. Thermal derating begins above +25°C ambient, following a linear power derating curve down to zero dissipation at +150°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (Nominal) | 6.0 V - precise DC reference point for feedback loops or analog signal conditioning |
| Zener Voltage Range | 5.70–6.30 V - ±5% tolerance ensures predictable clamping in 3.3 V/5 V system rails |
| Power Dissipation | 200 mW - limits continuous current to ~33 mA at 6 V; suitable for low-power bias networks |
| Zener Impedance | 7 Ω @ 20 mA - low dynamic resistance maintains voltage stability under small-signal load variation |
| Reverse Leakage Current | 5.0 µA @ 3.5 V - minimal parasitic current preserves accuracy in high-impedance reference nodes |
| Thermal Resistance | 625 °C/W - requires careful PCB copper area design to avoid junction overheating at full power |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX584C6V2 | 6.2 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, 300 mW rating, SOD-323 package | Higher power handling allows 50 mA max current; slightly higher voltage shifts feedback loop setpoint | Select when 6.2 V regulation aligns with existing feedback resistor ratios and higher current margin is needed |
| MM3Z6V2 | 6.2 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, 200 mW, SOD-323, but 15 Ω zener impedance at 5 mA | Higher dynamic impedance reduces regulation accuracy under variable load; optimized for lower test current | Prefer only where cost sensitivity outweighs regulation stability requirements in non-critical bias networks |
Compared with BZX584C6V2 and MM3Z6V2, MMSZ5233BS-7 offers tighter voltage alignment to 6.0 V systems and lowest dynamic impedance (7 Ω), making it optimal for precision analog references where load-induced voltage drift must be minimized.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage that can be continuously applied without breakdown?
The MMSZ5233BS-7 has a nominal zener voltage of 6.0 V with a guaranteed range of 5.70–6.30 V. Breakdown occurs at voltages ≥5.70 V in reverse bias. Applying less than 5.70 V reverse voltage keeps the device in high-impedance blocking mode with ≤5.0 µA leakage at 3.5 V.
Can this Zener diode be used in forward conduction mode like a standard diode?
Yes - the MMSZ5233BS-7 exhibits a typical forward voltage of 0.9 V at 10 mA, matching standard silicon diode behavior. However, its primary design purpose and characterization focus on reverse-bias zener regulation, not rectification or switching.
How does ambient temperature affect its zener voltage stability?
The MMSZ5233BS-7 has a positive temperature coefficient near 6 V, meaning its zener voltage increases with temperature. The datasheet does not specify TC value, but typical 6 V Zeners exhibit +2 to +4 mV/°C drift; derating curves confirm safe operation from –65°C to +150°C.
Is the SOD-323 package compatible with standard reflow profiles for lead-free assembly?
Yes - the device is fully RoHS-compliant with matte tin plating and rated for moisture sensitivity level 1. It supports JEDEC J-STD-020D reflow profiles, including peak temperatures up to 260°C, when mounted per Diodes Incorporated's recommended pad layout (AP02001).
