Product details
Overview
MMSZ5241BS-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount 11 V Zener diode in SOD-323 package, rated for 200 mW power dissipation, 22 Ω zener impedance at 20 mA test current, and maximum 2.0 µA reverse leakage at 8.4 V. It provides precision voltage regulation in low-power biasing, reference, and protection circuits for portable instrumentation and power management subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the MMSZ5241BS-7-F datasheet, MMSZ5241BS-7-F pinout, MMSZ5241BS-7-F application, or MMSZ5241BS-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include nominal zener voltage tolerance (±5%), thermal resistance (625 °C/W), reverse leakage at VR, and compatibility with automated SMT assembly on FR-4 PCBs using standard reflow profiles.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable voltage across its terminals under varying load and temperature conditions. Its planar die construction ensures consistent breakdown characteristics and low dynamic impedance (22 Ω at IZT = 20 mA) for effective regulation in low-current applications.
The device is optimized for operation at 25 °C ambient with derating above 25 °C per Fig. 1 (linear 1.6 mW/°C reduction), and exhibits typical capacitance of ~15 pF at 0 V bias (Fig. 4), making it suitable for DC and low-frequency stabilization-not RF signal paths.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (Nominal) | 11 V - precise DC reference voltage at 20 mA test current |
| Zener Voltage Range | 10.45 V to 11.55 V - ±5% tolerance band defining usable regulation window |
| Power Dissipation | 200 mW - maximum steady-state power at 25 °C ambient; derates linearly above |
| Zener Impedance | 22 Ω at IZT = 20 mA - low dynamic resistance enabling tight voltage regulation under load variation |
| Reverse Leakage Current | 2.0 µA at VR = 8.4 V - minimal off-state current ensuring low quiescent power in standby circuits |
| Thermal Resistance | 625 °C/W - junction-to-ambient value used to calculate max operating temperature rise on standard FR-4 layout |
| Package | SOD-323 - 2-pin surface-mount outline (2.3–2.7 mm length, 1.2–1.4 mm width) compatible with 0.5 mm pitch pick-and-place |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOD-323 - ultra-compact plastic-molded case (UL 94V-0), cathode marked by band, weight ≈ 0.004 g, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / Zener cathode reference node | Connected to lower-potential side in reverse-bias configuration; forms regulated output reference point |
| Cathode | Reverse breakdown terminal / Zener voltage sensing node | Connected to higher-potential side; voltage at this terminal clamps to 11 V when reverse current ≥ 20 mA |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX584C11LT1G | 11 V, ±5%, 300 mW, SOD-523, 15 Ω ZZT | Higher power rating but smaller package; tighter thermal limits on dense layouts | Select when board space is constrained and thermal margin > 50 °C required |
| MMBZ5241BLT1G | 11 V, ±5%, 350 mW, SOT-23, 22 Ω ZZT | Larger footprint, higher power handling, same impedance; requires different stencil aperture | Select when higher surge current capability (e.g., IEC 61000-4-5) is needed and SOT-23 is already in BOM |
Compared with BZX584C11LT1G and MMBZ5241BLT1G, MMSZ5241BS-7-F offers optimal balance of SOD-323 compactness, 200 mW rating, and proven manufacturability in high-volume consumer electronics-making it preferred where cost-per-unit and placement yield are prioritized over marginal power or impedance improvements.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current the MMSZ5241BS-7-F can handle without degradation?
The device is rated for 20 mA test current (IZT) and supports continuous reverse current up to 20 mA at 25 °C ambient. At higher currents, power dissipation exceeds 200 mW unless board-level thermal management reduces junction temperature-derating follows 1.6 mW/°C above 25 °C per Fig. 1 in the datasheet.
Can MMSZ5241BS-7-F be used in place of a 12 V Zener like MMSZ5242BS?
No-it is not a drop-in replacement due to 11 V nominal voltage versus 12 V. Substituting would shift regulation point by 1 V, potentially causing undervoltage lockout or incorrect comparator thresholds. Use only when circuit tolerances accommodate ±1 V change or recalibration is feasible.
Does the SOD-323 package support hand-soldering repair?
Yes-the SOD-323 package is compatible with fine-tip soldering irons and hot-air rework stations. Recommended technique: preheat PCB to 100 °C, apply flux, use 350 °C tip for <3 seconds per joint, and verify cathode band alignment visually post-reflow.
Is MMSZ5241BS-7-F suitable for automotive applications per AEC-Q200?
No-it is not AEC-Q200 qualified. While it operates from −65 °C to +150 °C, Diodes Incorporated does not certify this part for automotive use. For AEC-Q200-compliant 11 V Zeners, consider the BZT52-B11 or AZ23C11 series instead.
