Product details
Overview
MMSZ5234BS-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount 6.2 V Zener diode in SOD-323 package, rated for 200 mW power dissipation, 7 Ω zener impedance at 20 mA test current, and maximum 5.0 µA reverse leakage at 4.0 V, used for precision voltage regulation and reference in low-power analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MMSZ5234BS-7-F datasheet, MMSZ5234BS-7-F pinout, MMSZ5234BS-7-F application, or MMSZ5234BS-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 dynamic impedance (7 Ω at IZT = 20 mA) to minimize output voltage variation during transient current changes.
The device is optimized for general-purpose voltage reference and overvoltage protection in space-constrained designs. Its SOD-323 package supports high-density layouts, and its 0.004 g mass and UL 94V-0 mold compound meet stringent reliability and safety requirements for consumer and industrial electronics.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX584C6V2 | Same 6.2 V nominal, but SOD-523 package (smaller); 150 mW rating; 10 Ω ZZT | Lower power handling and higher impedance limit use in higher-current references | Select when board area is critical and load current ≤20 mA; verify thermal layout for reduced dissipation |
| MMBZ5234BS | Same electrical specs, but SOT-23 package; 350 mW rating; same 7 Ω ZZT | Higher power capability and larger footprint support robustness in variable-temperature environments | Choose for improved thermal margin in industrial ambient (>85°C) or where manual rework is required |
Compared with BZX584C6V2 and MMBZ5234BS, MMSZ5234BS-7-F offers optimal balance of compact SOD-323 size, 200 mW rating, and low 7 Ω impedance-making it ideal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained consumer electronics requiring stable 6.2 V reference without overengineering thermal design.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage that can be continuously applied without breakdown?
The MMSZ5234BS-7-F has a nominal Zener voltage of 6.2 V with a guaranteed range of 5.89–6.51 V at 20 mA. Below the minimum specified breakdown voltage (5.89 V), the device remains in high-impedance reverse state with leakage ≤5.0 µA at 4.0 V. Continuous reverse voltage below 5.89 V will not cause breakdown.
How does thermal derating affect usable power at 85°C ambient?
With RθJA = 625 °C/W and TJ(max) = +150°C, the allowable power at 85°C ambient is calculated as (150 − 85) / 625 = 0.104 W (104 mW). This is 52% of the 200 mW rating at 25°C, per the linear derating curve in Figure 1 of DS31038.
Is this diode suitable for use in automotive applications?
MMSZ5234BS-7-F is qualified to operate from −65°C to +150°C and meets RoHS and halogen-free requirements, but it is not AEC-Q200 qualified. It may be used in non-safety-critical automotive subsystems (e.g., infotainment power rails) provided full system-level qualification and thermal validation are performed by the end customer.
Can this Zener diode replace a 6.3 V or 6.0 V part in an existing design?
No-MMSZ5234BS-7-F is specified at 6.2 V (5.89–6.51 V). Substituting for 6.0 V (MMSZ5233BS) or 6.3 V (no exact match in series) risks violating voltage tolerance margins in precision references. The 6.2 V rating is intentional for applications targeting mid-point between common 6.0 V and 6.8 V standards.
