Product details
Overview
MMSZ5239BQ-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is an AEC-Q101-qualified 9.1 V, 500 mW surface-mount Zener diode in SOD123 package, rated for 20 mA test current, 10 Ω zener impedance at 20 mA, and 3.0 µA reverse leakage at 7.0 V, widely used for voltage regulation and reference in automotive power supply rails.
For engineers reviewing the MMSZ5239BQ-7-F datasheet, MMSZ5239BQ-7-F pinout, MMSZ5239BQ-7-F application, or MMSZ5239BQ-7-F equivalent, this part serves as a precision, low-power voltage clamp in ECU subsystems, sensor biasing networks, and overvoltage protection circuits where stable 9.1 V reference and automotive-grade reliability are required.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain a stable 9.1 V nominal output across a 20 mA test current, with ±5% tolerance (8.65–9.56 V) and temperature coefficient of +0.06%/°C. Its 10 Ω dynamic impedance ensures minimal voltage deviation under load variation.
Designed for automotive environments, it features AEC-Q101 qualification, halogen/antimony-free "Green" molding compound, and moisture sensitivity level 1. Thermal resistance is 338°C/W (junction-to-ambient, FR-4 PCB), enabling reliable operation from –65°C to +150°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 9.1 V nominal (8.65–9.56 V range); provides precise clamping threshold for 9 V rail regulation. |
| Test Current (IZT) | 20 mA; defines operating point where VZ and ZZT are specified and optimized. |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 10 Ω @ 20 mA; ensures <100 mV output shift for ±10 mA load change near regulation point. |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 500 mW @ TL = +75°C; supports continuous operation in thermally constrained automotive PCB layouts. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 3.0 µA @ VR = 7.0 V; guarantees minimal quiescent current draw in standby-biased reference circuits. |
| Package | SOD123; 2-pin surface-mount outline with cathode band marking, compatible with automated pick-and-place. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOD123 - molded plastic case, 0.01 g weight, matte tin-plated alloy 42 leadframe, cathode indicated by band.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / Zener cathode reference ground | Connected to circuit ground or lower-potential node; establishes reference polarity for reverse-bias operation. |
| Cathode | Zener breakdown input / regulated output node | Connected to voltage source to be clamped; delivers stable 9.1 V to load when reverse-biased above breakdown threshold. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive electronics including engine control units and body modules. |
| 500 mW power rating @ TL = +75°C | Enables robust voltage clamping in high-temperature under-hood applications without derating. |
| Halogen- and antimony-free "Green" compound | Meets automotive environmental compliance (Br+Cl <1500 ppm, Sb <1000 ppm) and UL 94V-0 flammability. |
| Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 | Eliminates bake requirements prior to reflow, reducing manufacturing cost and process complexity. |
Applications
| Engine Control Unit (ECU) Reference | Automotive Sensor Biasing |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C9V1-7-F | Same 9.1 V nominal, but SOT-23 package (higher RθJA = 370°C/W) and higher ZZT = 15 Ω. | Less suitable for high-temperature automotive PCBs due to inferior thermal performance. | Select when board space is constrained and thermal load is light; not recommended for under-hood use. |
| 1N4739A | Through-hole DO-41 package, 1 W rating, 10 Ω ZZT, but no AEC-Q101 qualification or Green compliance. | Not approved for automotive production; limited to industrial prototyping or non-safety-critical designs. | Choose only for legacy through-hole designs or cost-sensitive non-automotive applications. |
Compared with BZX84-C9V1-7-F and 1N4739A, MMSZ5239BQ-7-F uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, SOD123 thermal efficiency, and Green compliance-making it the sole choice for production automotive voltage reference and clamp functions requiring zero rework risk and full regulatory alignment.

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 = 7.0 V. This value is measured under standard conditions (TA = +25°C) and defines the upper limit of applied reverse bias before significant leakage begins-critical for low-power bias networks where current budget is tight.
Can MMSZ5239BQ-7-F replace MMSZ5238BQ-7-F in a 9 V rail design?
No-MMSZ5238BQ-7-F has nominal VZ = 8.7 V (8.27–9.14 V), while MMSZ5239BQ-7-F is 9.1 V (8.65–9.56 V). The 0.4 V difference affects regulation accuracy and may exceed system tolerance; substitution requires verification of downstream component VIN margins and thermal drift behavior.
Is the SOD123 package lead-free and RoHS-compliant?
Yes-the device uses matte tin finish over alloy 42 leadframe, contains no purposely added lead, and meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU (RoHS 2). It is also halogen- and antimony-free per Diodes Incorporated's "Green" definition (<900 ppm Br, <900 ppm Cl, <1000 ppm Sb).
What is the thermal resistance (RθJA) when mounted on a standard FR-4 PCB?
RθJA is 338°C/W when mounted on an FR-4 PCB with a 1-inch copper pad layout. This value assumes standard JEDEC test conditions and enables accurate junction temperature estimation: TJ = TA + (PD × RθJA), critical for derating in high-ambient automotive environments.
