Product details
Overview
MMSZ5240BS-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount 10 V Zener diode in SOD-323 package, rated for 200 mW power dissipation, 17 Ω zener impedance at 20 mA test current, and maximum 3.0 µA reverse leakage at 8.0 V. It provides precision voltage regulation in low-power analog reference and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MMSZ5240BS-7-F datasheet, MMSZ5240BS-7-F pinout, MMSZ5240BS-7-F application, or MMSZ5240BS-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include nominal zener voltage tolerance (±5%), thermal resistance (625 °C/W), forward voltage (0.9 V @ 10 mA), operating temperature range (–65 to +150 °C), and RoHS-compliant lead-free plating.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable voltage across its terminals under varying load or supply conditions. Its planar die construction ensures consistent breakdown characteristics and low dynamic impedance (17 Ω at IZT = 20 mA).
The device is optimized for general-purpose voltage reference and clamping in space-constrained PCB layouts. Its SOD-323 package supports automated pick-and-place assembly and meets J-STD-020D Level 1 moisture sensitivity requirements.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (Nominal) | 10 V - precise regulation point for biasing, reference, or clamping circuits |
| Zener Voltage Range | 9.50–10.50 V - ±5% tolerance ensures predictable performance across production lots |
| Power Dissipation | 200 mW - limits continuous current to ~20 mA at 10 V, defining safe operating area |
| Zener Impedance | 17 Ω @ 20 mA - low dynamic resistance enables stable output under small-signal load variation |
| Reverse Leakage Current | 3.0 µA @ 8.0 V - minimal off-state conduction preserves accuracy in high-impedance reference nodes |
| Forward Voltage | 0.9 V @ 10 mA - defines minimum forward bias needed for anode-cathode conduction |
| Thermal Resistance | 625 °C/W - determines junction temperature rise per milliwatt in standard FR-4 layout |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOD-323 - ultra-small plastic surface-mount case (2.30–2.70 mm length, 1.20–1.40 mm width, 0.25–0.35 mm thickness), cathode indicated by band on top surface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / Zener cathode reference node | Connected to lower-potential side in reverse-biased regulation; used as ground reference in shunt regulator |
| Cathode | Zener breakdown terminal / voltage clamp input | Connected to higher-potential rail; maintains ~10 V relative to anode when reverse biased above knee voltage |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX584-C10 | Same 10 V nominal, but ±5% tolerance and 300 mW rating in SOD-523 package | Higher power handling allows 30 mA continuous operation; larger footprint requires layout revision | Select when >200 mW dissipation or improved thermal margin is required |
| MMBZ5240BLT1G | Identical electrical specs but in SOT-23 package with different marking and 3-pin configuration | Requires 3-pad layout; third pin is unused but affects routing density and solder joint reliability | Select only if existing design uses SOT-23 footprints and board rework is impractical |
Compared with BZX584-C10 and MMBZ5240BLT1G, MMSZ5240BS-7-F offers optimal balance of size, thermal performance, and compatibility with high-volume SOD-323 assembly processes-making it preferred for compact, cost-sensitive consumer and industrial designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage that can be continuously applied without breakdown?
The MMSZ5240BS-7-F begins controlled breakdown at approximately 9.5 V and reaches nominal regulation at 10 V. Applying ≥8.0 V reverse bias results in measurable leakage (≤3.0 µA), but sustained operation below 9.5 V avoids significant current flow. Full regulation occurs only above the specified knee voltage.
Can this Zener diode be used in forward-biased mode like a standard diode?
Yes - it exhibits 0.9 V forward voltage at 10 mA, matching typical silicon diode behavior. However, its forward characteristics are not characterized beyond this single point; for dedicated rectification or switching, purpose-built signal diodes (e.g., 1N4148) are recommended.
How does the 625 °C/W thermal resistance impact real-world PCB layout?
This value assumes mounting on a standard FR-4 board with Diodes Incorporated's recommended pad layout (AP02001). Without copper pour or thermal vias, junction temperature rises ~625 °C per watt - so at 200 mW, ΔT ≈ 125 °C above ambient. Layout must ensure adequate copper area to avoid exceeding 150 °C max junction temperature.
Is the SOD-323 package compatible with standard 0805 pick-and-place equipment?
Yes - the SOD-323 (1.7 × 1.3 mm) falls within the capability envelope of most Class II and III placement systems. Its symmetrical geometry and matte tin finish ensure reliable vacuum nozzle pickup and accurate placement at speeds up to 12,000 cph, provided feeder tape pitch and vision calibration match JEDEC standards.
