Product details
Overview
MMSZ5245BS-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount 15 V Zener diode in SOD-323 package, rated for 200 mW power dissipation, with nominal Zener voltage 15 V (min 14.25 V, max 15.75 V) at 8.5 mA test current, 16 Ω dynamic impedance at test current, and only 0.1 µA reverse leakage at 11 V, used for precision voltage regulation and reference in low-power analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MMSZ5245BS-7 datasheet, MMSZ5245BS-7 pinout, MMSZ5245BS-7 application, or MMSZ5245BS-7 equivalent, this part serves as a stable, low-leakage, RoHS-compliant 15 V reference in space-constrained PCBs where thermal resistance of 625 °C/W and ±5% voltage tolerance are design-critical.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain a stable reference voltage across its terminals under varying load and supply conditions. Its planar die construction ensures consistent voltage regulation and low temperature coefficient performance over -65°C to +150°C operating range.
Designed for general-purpose voltage clamping and regulation, it delivers 15 V nominal output with tight 5% tolerance, low 16 Ω Zener impedance at 8.5 mA, and sub-µA leakage at VR = 11 V - enabling accurate biasing in sensor interfaces, ADC references, and power-supply feedback networks.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (Nom) | 15 V - precise reference point for voltage regulation and clamping circuits |
| Zener Voltage Range | 14.25 V to 15.75 V - ±5% tolerance ensures predictable operation in production designs |
| Test Current (IZT) | 8.5 mA - defined operating point for specified Zener voltage and impedance |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 16 Ω - low dynamic resistance maintains stable voltage under small-signal load variations |
| Power Dissipation | 200 mW - limits maximum continuous reverse power in ambient conditions without derating |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.1 µA at VR = 11 V - negligible current draw preserves accuracy in high-impedance reference nodes |
| Thermal Resistance | 625 °C/W - defines junction-to-ambient temperature rise per watt; requires careful layout on FR-4 |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOD-323 - ultra-small plastic surface-mount case (2.3–2.7 mm length × 1.2–1.4 mm width × 0.25–0.35 mm height), cathode indicated by band, compatible with automated pick-and-place and reflow soldering.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / Zener cathode reference ground | Connected to circuit ground or lower-potential node when used in reverse-bias regulation |
| Cathode | Zener breakdown terminal / regulated output node | Provides stable 15 V relative to anode; must be biased above anode by ≥15 V to enter regulation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Applications
| ADC Reference Voltage | Power Supply Feedback |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Providing stable reference to 12-bit SAR ADC in battery-powered IoT sensor node. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision voltage reference source for ADC internal conversion ladder. Use Value: 0.1 µA leakage and 16 Ω impedance minimize reference error drift and improve effective resolution. |
Use Scenario: Setting output voltage in isolated flyback converter via optocoupler feedback loop.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX584-C15 | Same 15 V nominal, but SOD-523 package (smaller); 300 mW rating; higher leakage (1 µA @ 12 V) | Better power handling but larger footprint mismatch; less suitable for legacy SOD-323 layouts | Select if board space allows SOD-523 and higher pulse robustness is needed |
| MMBZ5245BS | Identical electrical specs and SOD-323 package; same marking code H5; dual-diode variant not applicable here | No functional difference - single-diode version matches MMSZ5245BS-7 exactly | Valid drop-in replacement; verify reel packaging compatibility (MMSZ uses -7-F tape/reel) |
Compared with BZX584-C15 and MMBZ5245BS, the MMSZ5245BS-7 offers optimal balance of low leakage (0.1 µA), industry-standard SOD-323 fit, and proven reliability in high-volume consumer and industrial PCBs - making it preferred for cost-sensitive, space-constrained reference designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage before breakdown for MMSZ5245BS-7?
The nominal Zener voltage is 15 V, with guaranteed range 14.25 V to 15.75 V at 8.5 mA test current. Breakdown begins near the lower limit; sustained operation below 14.25 V keeps the device in non-conducting state. Full regulation occurs only above ~14.5 V under typical bias conditions.
Can MMSZ5245BS-7 be used in place of a 1N4744A?
No - the 1N4744A is a 14 V, 1 W through-hole Zener in DO-41 package. MMSZ5245BS-7 is a 15 V, 200 mW SOD-323 surface-mount device. Differences in voltage, power rating, package, and thermal behavior make direct substitution unsafe without circuit redesign and layout changes.
Is MMSZ5245BS-7 suitable for use in automotive applications?
Yes - it meets AEC-Q200 stress test requirements for passive components when qualified per Diodes Inc. automotive-grade variants (e.g., MMSZ5245BS-Q). The standard MMSZ5245BS-7 is rated for -65°C to +150°C operation and widely used in non-safety-critical automotive subsystems like infotainment power rails and sensor biasing.
How does thermal derating affect MMSZ5245BS-7's power capability?
At 25°C ambient, it delivers full 200 mW. Derating begins linearly above 25°C: power drops by 0.32 mW/°C (based on RθJA = 625 °C/W), reaching zero at 150°C junction. For reliable operation at 85°C ambient, max power is reduced to ~160 mW - requiring appropriate PCB copper area per Diodes' AP02001 layout guidelines.
