Product details
Overview
MMSZ5233BS-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount 6.0 V Zener diode in SOD-323 package, rated for 200 mW power dissipation, 7 Ω dynamic impedance at 20 mA test current, and maximum 5.0 µA reverse leakage at 3.5 V, used for precision voltage regulation and reference in low-power analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MMSZ5233BS-7-F datasheet, MMSZ5233BS-7-F pinout, MMSZ5233BS-7-F application, or MMSZ5233BS-7-F 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.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable voltage across its terminals under varying load and temperature conditions. It features planar die construction for consistent parametric performance and low leakage, with a specified test current of 20 mA and knee current of 0.25 mA.
The device exhibits 7 Ω Zener impedance at IZT = 20 mA and 1600 Ω at IZK = 0.25 mA, enabling predictable regulation in both high- and low-current biasing configurations. Its 625 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance assumes mounting on standard FR-4 with recommended pad layout per AP02001.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage | 6.0 V nominal, 5.70–6.30 V range at 20 mA - defines regulated output voltage with ±5% tolerance |
| Power Dissipation | 200 mW maximum - limits continuous operating current to ~33 mA at 6 V without derating |
| Zener Impedance | 7 Ω at 20 mA - ensures tight voltage regulation under moderate load variation |
| Reverse Leakage | 5.0 µA max at 3.5 V - guarantees minimal quiescent current in standby or sensing circuits |
| Thermal Resistance | 625 °C/W - requires thermal-aware PCB layout to sustain full power at ambient up to +125°C |
| Package | SOD-323 - 1.2–1.4 mm body width, 2.3–2.7 mm length, compatible with 0805 footprint and pick-and-place |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOD-323 surface-mount plastic case with cathode band marking; dimensions: 2.3–2.7 mm × 1.2–1.4 mm × 0.25–0.35 mm height; weight ≈ 0.004 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / Zener cathode reference node | Connected to lower-potential side in regulation circuit; forms reference ground return path |
| Cathode | Reverse breakdown terminal / Zener voltage output node | Marked with band; supplies regulated 6.0 V when biased above breakdown with series resistor |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Applications
| Power Supply Reference | Overvoltage Clamp |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Providing stable 6.0 V reference for ADC voltage dividers and op-amp bias networks in battery-powered sensors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Voltage reference element establishing precise analog input scaling point. Use Value: ±5% Zener tolerance and 7 Ω impedance ensure <±10 mV error contribution under 1 mA load variation. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX384-B6V2,115 (Nexperia) | 6.2 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, 300 mW rating, SOD-323 package | Higher power rating allows higher clamping energy; slightly higher Zener voltage shifts reference by +200 mV | Select when 6.2 V reference aligns with system tolerance stack-up and surge energy exceeds 200 mW capability |
| MMBZ5233BS-7-F (Diodes Inc.) | Identical electrical specs and marking code E3, but in SOT-23 package (larger footprint, higher RθJA) | SOT-23 offers easier manual prototyping and higher thermal mass; less suitable for ultra-dense layouts | Choose for hand-soldered prototypes or where board space permits larger package and improved thermal margin is needed |
Compared with BZX384-B6V2,115 and MMBZ5233BS-7-F, the MMSZ5233BS-7-F delivers identical 6.0 V regulation in the smallest SOD-323 footprint with lowest thermal resistance among SOD-323 Zeners, making it optimal for space-constrained, low-power reference designs requiring tight voltage accuracy.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse voltage that can be safely applied to MMSZ5233BS-7-F?
The device is rated for 3.5 V reverse voltage at which leakage remains ≤5.0 µA; applying higher reverse bias risks excessive leakage or thermal runaway. For reliable regulation, operate only within the 5.70–6.30 V Zener range at IZ ≥ 1 mA, with series current limiting to keep power ≤200 mW.
How does the SOD-323 package affect thermal performance compared to larger Zener packages?
With RθJA = 625 °C/W, the SOD-323 package dissipates heat less efficiently than SOT-23 (typically ~300 °C/W) or DO-35 (≈200 °C/W). Full 200 mW operation requires ambient ≤+125°C or PCB copper pour; derating is essential above +70°C ambient.
Can MMSZ5233BS-7-F be used in place of a 6.2 V Zener like MMSZ5234BS-7-F?
No - the 6.0 V nominal voltage differs by 200 mV from the 6.2 V part, exceeding typical system reference tolerance budgets. Substitution alters regulation point, potentially causing ADC scaling errors or comparator trip-point shifts; verify circuit margin before interchange.
Is the cathode band orientation consistent across all SOD-323 Zener diodes from Diodes Incorporated?
Yes - the cathode band is always located at the end of the SOD-323 package opposite the anode, aligned with the flat edge shown in AP02002 outline drawing. Visual inspection under magnification confirms polarity; no exceptions exist within the MMSZ52xxBS family.
