Product details
Overview
MMSZ5235BS-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount silicon Zener diode with a nominal zener voltage of 6.8 V, ±5% tolerance (6.46–7.14 V), 200 mW power dissipation, 5 Ω zener impedance at 20 mA test current, and 3.0 µA reverse leakage at 5.0 V. It operates across –65 °C to +150 °C and is used for voltage regulation, overvoltage protection, and reference generation in low-power analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MMSZ5235BS-7-F datasheet, MMSZ5235BS-7-F pinout, MMSZ5235BS-7-F application, or MMSZ5235BS-7-F equivalent, this device serves as a precision, low-current voltage clamp in space-constrained PCBs where SOD323 footprint compatibility, thermal stability, and RoHS-compliant lead-free plating are required.
Technical Context
This Zener diode employs planar die construction for stable breakdown characteristics and low dynamic impedance. Its 6.8 V nominal zener voltage is specified at 20 mA test current (IZT), with typical zener impedance of 5 Ω at IZT and 750 Ω at knee current (0.25 mA), enabling reliable regulation under light-load and transient conditions.
The device is housed in an SOD323 package with cathode band polarity marking, rated for 200 mW at 25 °C ambient and derated linearly above 25 °C per a 625 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance. It exhibits ≤3.0 µA reverse leakage at VR = 5.0 V and maintains operation from –65 °C to +150 °C.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX584C6V8 | Same 6.8 V nominal, but SOD523 package (1.3 × 0.85 mm); 300 mW rating; 10 Ω Zzt | Higher power handling but smaller footprint; less thermal mass for pulse absorption | Select when higher surge capability is needed and PCB real estate allows tighter pitch routing |
| MMBZ5235BLT1G | SOT-23 package; same 6.8 V spec; 225 mW rating; 7 Ω Zzt; 10x larger footprint than SOD323 | Greater thermal dissipation margin; compatible with legacy SOT-23 pick-and-place tooling | Select when production line uses SOT-23 feeders or board layout permits larger device |
Compared with BZX584C6V8 and MMBZ5235BLT1G, MMSZ5235BS-7-F offers the smallest footprint (SOD323), lowest zener impedance (5 Ω), and tightest thermal profile for ultra-dense portable designs-making it optimal where board area and regulation precision outweigh raw power handling needs.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage (VR) at which leakage remains ≤3.0 µA?
The datasheet specifies 3.0 µA maximum reverse leakage current at VR = 5.0 V. At VR = 6.0 V, leakage rises to approximately 10 µA, and at VR = 6.8 V (nominal zener voltage), leakage is not guaranteed but typically remains below 50 µA. For design margin, use 5.0 V as the maximum non-breakdown bias voltage.
Can MMSZ5235BS-7-F be used in place of a 6.2 V Zener like MMSZ5234BS?
No-MMSZ5235BS-7-F has a nominal zener voltage of 6.8 V (6.46–7.14 V), while MMSZ5234BS is 6.2 V (5.89–6.51 V). Substituting them changes the regulation threshold by ~10%, potentially causing overvoltage stress or failure to clamp. Always match nominal VZ and tolerance bands for functional equivalence.
Is the SOD323 package compatible with standard reflow profiles for lead-free soldering?
Yes-the SOD323 package is qualified for JEDEC J-STD-020D Level 1 moisture sensitivity and supports peak reflow temperatures up to 260 °C. Diodes Incorporated recommends using the pad layout from AP02001 and following IPC-J-STD-020 guidelines for optimal solder joint reliability and thermal performance.
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, meaning continuous current must be limited to ~15.3 mA at 6.8 V to avoid exceeding junction temperature limits.
