Product details
Overview
MMSZ5245BS-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount 15 V Zener diode in SOD-323 package, rated for 200 mW power dissipation, 16 Ω zener impedance at 8.5 mA test current, and maximum 0.1 µA reverse leakage at 11 V, used for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in low-power analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MMSZ5245BS-7-F datasheet, MMSZ5245BS-7-F pinout, MMSZ5245BS-7-F application, or MMSZ5245BS-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include nominal zener voltage tolerance (±5%), thermal resistance (625 °C/W), cathode-band polarity marking, JEDEC-compliant SOD-323 footprint, and RoHS/halogen-free compliance for consumer and industrial PCB assemblies.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable reference voltage under varying load and temperature conditions. Its planar die construction ensures consistent voltage regulation with low dynamic impedance (16 Ω at IZT = 8.5 mA) and tight voltage tolerance (14.25–15.75 V).
The device is optimized for automated SMT assembly on FR-4 boards using recommended pad layout AP02001, with moisture sensitivity level 1 and lead-free matte tin plating. It exhibits negligible capacitance (<2 pF typical at 1 MHz) and supports operation from –65 °C to +150 °C ambient.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (Nominal) | 15 V - precise DC reference voltage for feedback loops and voltage clamping |
| Zener Voltage Range | 14.25–15.75 V - ±5% tolerance ensures predictable regulation across production lots |
| Test Current (IZT) | 8.5 mA - operating point where specified zener voltage and impedance are guaranteed |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 16 Ω - low dynamic resistance minimizes output voltage variation under load transients |
| Power Dissipation | 200 mW - limits continuous current to ~13.3 mA at 15 V, defining safe operating area |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.1 µA @ 11 V - ultra-low leakage preserves accuracy in high-impedance bias networks |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 625 °C/W - dictates junction temperature rise under full power on standard FR-4 layout |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOD-323 - compact 2-pin surface-mount plastic case (2.3–2.7 mm length, 1.2–1.4 mm width, 0.25–0.35 mm thickness), cathode identified by band marking, compatible with IPC-7351B footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / Zener cathode reference node | Connected to lower-potential side in regulation circuit; forms reference ground return path |
| Cathode | Zener breakdown terminal / voltage clamp input | Connected to regulated node; reverse-biased to maintain fixed 15 V drop relative to anode |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Planar die construction | Ensures repeatable breakdown characteristics and long-term stability under thermal cycling |
| SOD-323 package | Enables high-density PCB layouts and compatibility with standard 0805-class pick-and-place equipment |
| Lead-free & RoHS compliant | Meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU without exemptions; suitable for global commercial shipments |
| Halogen- and antimony-free | Contains <900 ppm Br, <900 ppm Cl, <1000 ppm Sb - satisfies "Green" environmental requirements |
| Moisture sensitivity Level 1 | Eliminates need for dry-packaging or baking prior to reflow, reducing manufacturing overhead |
Applications
| Power Supply Reference | Overvoltage Clamp |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Providing stable 15 V reference for linear regulator feedback or ADC reference divider. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision voltage reference element in analog signal conditioning chain. Use Value: ±5% voltage tolerance and 16 Ω impedance ensure <±10 mV drift under 1 mA load variation. |
Use Scenario: Protecting microcontroller I/O pins from transient overvoltage events up to 15 V. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Shunt clamping device limiting input voltage to safe logic threshold. Use Value: 0.1 µA leakage at 11 V prevents loading of high-impedance sensor inputs during normal operation. |
| Current Source Bias | Temperature-Stable Oscillator Trim |
Use Scenario: Establishing constant current for LED bias or op-amp bias network via series resistor. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Stable voltage source enabling predictable current through external resistor. Use Value: 200 mW rating allows ≥13 mA current at 15 V, supporting medium-current analog stages. |
Use Scenario: Fine-tuning oscillator frequency in crystal-based clock generators via voltage-controlled load capacitance. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance (≤2 pF) voltage reference stabilizing varactor bias point. Use Value: Minimal parasitic capacitance avoids pulling crystal resonance away from target frequency. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX584-C15 | Same 15 V nominal, but SOD-523 package (smaller footprint), 300 mW rating, higher leakage (0.5 µA @ 11 V) | Better power handling but requires tighter layout control; less suitable for legacy SOD-323 land patterns | Select when board space is constrained and higher power margin is needed |
| MMBZ5245BS | Identical electrical specs and SOD-323 package, but in SOT-23 (3-pin) configuration with unused emitter pin | Requires different footprint and may introduce unintended parasitics due to extra terminal | Avoid unless existing design uses SOT-23; not a drop-in replacement despite matching marking code |
Compared with BZX584-C15 and MMBZ5245BS, MMSZ5245BS-7-F offers optimal balance of proven SOD-323 compatibility, ultra-low leakage, and JEDEC-standardized thermal performance for cost-sensitive, high-volume analog designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse voltage this Zener can withstand without breakdown?
The MMSZ5245BS-7-F has a nominal zener voltage of 15 V with a guaranteed range of 14.25–15.75 V. Below 14.25 V, it remains in high-impedance reverse-blocking state with ≤0.1 µA leakage at 11 V. Sustained reverse voltage above 15.75 V risks exceeding its 200 mW power limit and thermal runaway.
Does this part require derating at elevated ambient temperatures?
Yes - its power dissipation must be linearly derated above +25 °C ambient per Fig. 1 in DS31038: at +85 °C, maximum allowable power drops to 125 mW (62.5% of 200 mW), corresponding to ~8.3 mA continuous current. Derating follows RθJA = 625 °C/W on standard FR-4 layout.
Is the SOD-323 package compatible with standard reflow profiles?
Yes - the device is qualified for Pb-free reflow per J-STD-020D Level 1 moisture sensitivity, with peak temperature up to 260 °C. Its matte tin finish and alloy 42 leadframe ensure robust solder joint formation using standard SnAgCu profiles without voiding or dewetting.
How does its zener impedance affect regulation accuracy under load changes?
With ZZT = 16 Ω at 8.5 mA, a 1 mA load increase causes ~16 mV output shift. This low impedance enables stable regulation in feedback networks where load current varies within ±0.5 mA, making it suitable for precision references in 12-bit ADC systems and low-noise LDOs.
