Product details
Overview
MMSZ5252B-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a 24 V, 5.2 mA nominal Zener diode in SOD-123 package with 500 mW power dissipation, 33 Ω dynamic impedance at test current, and 0.1 µA reverse leakage at 18 V, used for precision voltage regulation and reference in low-power analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MMSZ5252B-7-F datasheet, MMSZ5252B-7-F pinout, MMSZ5252B-7-F application, or MMSZ5252B-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±5%), thermal resistance (338 °C/W), cathode-band polarity marking, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable voltage across its terminals under varying load and temperature conditions. Its 24 V nominal Zener voltage is specified at 5.2 mA test current, with ±5% tolerance (22.8–25.2 V) and a positive temperature coefficient of +0.08 %/°C per Figure 6.
The device uses silicon PN-junction construction with matte tin-plated alloy 42 leadframe and green molding compound compliant with RoHS, halogen-free, and antimony-free standards. It is rated for -65 °C to +150 °C operating temperature and exhibits 600 Ω maximum knee impedance at 0.25 mA.
Key Specifications

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage before breakdown for MMSZ5252B-7-F?
The nominal Zener voltage is 24 V with a guaranteed range of 22.8 V to 25.2 V at 5.2 mA test current. Breakdown begins gradually above 22.8 V; full regulation occurs within this band. The device is not rated for sustained operation above 25.2 V in reverse bias without exceeding power limits.
Can MMSZ5252B-7-F be used in place of a 24 V Zener with tighter tolerance?
No-it has a fixed ±5% tolerance (22.8–25.2 V). For tighter tolerance, consider the BZX84-C24 (±2%) or TL431-based shunt references. MMSZ5252B-7-F is optimized for cost-sensitive, high-volume applications where ±5% meets system-level accuracy requirements.
Is the SOD-123 package compatible with standard reflow profiles?
Yes-the matte tin finish and green molding compound support industry-standard lead-free reflow profiles (J-STD-020 Level 1). Peak temperature must not exceed 260 °C, and time above 217 °C should be limited to 60–150 seconds per IPC/JEDEC specifications.
Does MMSZ5252B-7-F require a series current-limiting resistor in all applications?
Yes-Zener diodes require external current limiting to prevent thermal runaway. For 24 V regulation from a 30 V supply, a minimum 120 Ω resistor is needed to limit current to ≤50 mA at maximum power (500 mW), assuming worst-case VZ and ambient conditions.
