Product details
Overview
MMSZ5243BS-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount Zener diode with nominal zener voltage 13 V, ±5% tolerance (12.35–13.65 V), 200 mW power dissipation, and 9.5 mA test current. It features planar die construction in SOD-323 package, low reverse leakage (≤0.5 µA at 9.9 V), and is optimized for voltage regulation and reference applications in space-constrained PCBs.
For engineers reviewing the MMSZ5243BS-7-F datasheet, MMSZ5243BS-7-F pinout, MMSZ5243BS-7-F application, or MMSZ5243BS-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage accuracy, thermal resistance (625 °C/W), low leakage at rated VR, SOD-323 footprint compatibility, and RoHS-compliant lead-free plating for automated assembly.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable voltage across its terminals under varying load or input conditions. Its 13 V nominal zener voltage is specified at 9.5 mA test current, with dynamic impedance of 13 Ω at that point and ≤600 Ω at knee current (0.25 mA).
The device is characterized for operation from –65 °C to +150 °C ambient, with thermal resistance of 625 °C/W on FR-4 board using recommended pad layout. Reverse leakage remains ≤0.5 µA up to 9.9 V, enabling precision biasing in low-power analog circuits.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX584C13 | 13 V, ±5%, 300 mW, SOD-523 package, 10 mA IZT, 20 Ω ZZT | Higher power rating but smaller 1.2 × 0.8 mm SOD-523 footprint; less thermal margin on FR-4 | Select when higher surge energy handling is required and board space allows SOD-523 placement. |
| MMBZ5243BS | 13 V, ±5%, 350 mW, SOT-23 package, 9.5 mA IZT, 13 Ω ZZT | Larger SOT-23 footprint; 75% higher power dissipation; same electrical specs but different thermal profile | Choose for legacy designs using SOT-23 footprints or where board-level heat spreading is available. |
Compared with MMSZ5243BS-7-F, BZX584C13 offers higher power but demands tighter layout control due to smaller package, while MMBZ5243BS provides greater thermal headroom at the cost of board area-making the SOD-323 variant optimal for density-critical, thermally constrained applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage this Zener can withstand before breakdown?
The MMSZ5243BS-7-F has a nominal zener voltage of 13 V with a guaranteed range of 12.35 V to 13.65 V at 9.5 mA test current. Breakdown occurs within this range under reverse bias; operation above 13.65 V is not specified and may cause excessive power dissipation or parametric shift.
Is this part suitable for use in high-reliability automotive applications?
Yes - MMSZ5243BS-7-F is qualified to AEC-Q200 Class 3 (–40 °C to +125 °C ambient) per Diodes Incorporated's product family documentation and operates across –65 °C to +150 °C. Its SOD-323 package and lead-free plating meet automotive assembly requirements.
How does thermal derating affect its usable power at 85°C ambient?
At 85°C ambient, the device's usable power drops to approximately 130 mW, calculated using the 625 °C/W thermal resistance and 150°C max junction temperature: PD = (150 − 85) / 625 = 0.104 W. This must be verified against actual board layout and airflow conditions.
Can this Zener replace a 1N4742A in an existing design?
No - the 1N4742A is a 12 V, 1 W through-hole Zener in DO-41 package. MMSZ5243BS-7-F is a 13 V, 200 mW SMD device with different thermal behavior, voltage tolerance, and mounting method. Direct substitution requires redesign of PCB layout, power budget, and thermal management.
