Product details
Overview
MMSZ5234B-13-F from Diodes Incorporated is a 6.2 V, 500 mW surface-mount Zener diode in SOD-123 package, rated for 20 mA test current with 7 Ω dynamic impedance at 1 kHz and 5 µA reverse leakage at 4.0 V. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in low-power analog signal conditioning and power rail stabilization circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MMSZ5234B-13-F datasheet, MMSZ5234B-13-F pinout, MMSZ5234B-13-F application, or MMSZ5234B-13-F equivalent, this part delivers stable 6.2 V regulation under medium-current conditions with AEC-Q101 qualification, RoHS-compliant green packaging, and validated thermal performance up to +150°C junction temperature.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain a nominal 6.2 V across its terminals within ±5% tolerance (5.89–6.51 V) at 20 mA. Its 7 Ω Zener impedance at IZT ensures minimal voltage variation under load transients, while the 1,000 Ω knee impedance at 0.25 mA supports reliable turn-on in low-current bias networks.
Designed for surface-mount assembly on FR-4 PCBs with 1-inch copper pad, it dissipates 370 mW at +25°C ambient and derates linearly to 500 mW at +75°C lead temperature. The SOD-123 package features matte tin-plated Alloy 42 leads, cathode band polarity marking, and moisture sensitivity level 1 per J-STD-020.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX584C6V2 | 6.2 V ±5%, 300 mW rating, SOD-323 package, 10 Ω ZZT | Lower power handling and smaller footprint; less thermal margin on FR-4 | Select when board space is constrained and peak dissipation remains below 300 mW |
| MMBZ5234BS | 6.2 V ±5%, 350 mW, SOT-23 package, 15 Ω ZZT, dual-anode configuration | Higher impedance and different pinout; requires layout redesign and dual-rail support | Choose only if existing SOT-23 footprint reuse is mandatory and 15 Ω ZZT is acceptable |
Compared with BZX584C6V2 and MMBZ5234BS, MMSZ5234B-13-F offers superior thermal capability (370 mW vs. 300/350 mW), lower dynamic impedance (7 Ω), and AEC-Q101 qualification-making it preferred for automotive and industrial designs requiring long-term stability under thermal stress.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current the MMSZ5234B-13-F can handle at 25°C?
The device is rated for 20 mA test current (IZT) and supports continuous reverse current up to 57 mA at 25°C ambient, calculated from its 370 mW power rating and 6.2 V Zener voltage (PD/VZ). Derating applies above 25°C per the published power derating curve.
Does MMSZ5234B-13-F meet automotive qualification standards?
Yes-MMSZ5234B-13-F is explicitly qualified to AEC-Q101 Rev D for high-reliability automotive applications, including stress testing for temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias, and humidity resistance, as documented in Diodes Incorporated's official qualification report DS18010.
How does the SOD-123 package affect thermal performance compared to DO-35?
The SOD-123 package achieves 338 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on FR-4 with 1-inch copper pad-significantly better than DO-35's typical 500+ °C/W-due to its low-profile construction and direct thermal path through the molded body and plated leads.
Can MMSZ5234B-13-F be used in series for higher-voltage references?
Yes-multiple MMSZ5234B-13-F units may be stacked in series to achieve higher reference voltages (e.g., two in series yield ~12.4 V), but total power dissipation must remain within derated limits, and matching of Zener voltage tolerances (±5%) should be verified for critical applications.
