Product details
Overview
MMSZ5254BS-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount Zener diode with a nominal zener voltage of 27 V, ±5% tolerance (25.65–28.35 V), 5.0 mA test current, and 41 Ω dynamic impedance at test conditions. It delivers 200 mW power dissipation in the SOD-323 package and is used for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in low-power analog signal conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MMSZ5254BS-7 datasheet, MMSZ5254BS-7 pinout, MMSZ5254BS-7 application, or MMSZ5254BS-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage accuracy at 5 mA, low leakage (<0.1 µA at 21 V), thermal resistance (625 °C/W), and compatibility with automated SMT assembly on FR-4 PCBs.
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 breakdown characteristics, while the SOD-323 package supports high-density board layouts and reflow-compatible soldering.
It exhibits 0.1 µA maximum reverse leakage at VR = 21 V and maintains 41 Ω zener impedance at IZT = 5.0 mA - critical for low-noise voltage clamping in sensor biasing and ADC reference stabilization circuits.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX584-C27 | Same 27 V nominal, but ±5% tolerance achieved at 5 mA with 50 Ω ZZT (vs. 41 Ω) | Higher impedance increases output voltage drift under load; less suitable for precision biasing | Prefer MMSZ5254BS-7 where low dynamic impedance is required for stable reference |
| MMBZ5254BS | Identical electrical specs but in SOT-23 package (larger footprint, higher RθJA = 350 °C/W) | Lower thermal resistance enables higher power handling, but occupies 3× PCB area | Choose MMSZ5254BS-7 for space-constrained designs requiring same performance in smaller form factor |
Compared with BZX584-C27 and MMBZ5254BS, MMSZ5254BS-7 offers the lowest zener impedance in the smallest footprint - making it optimal for miniaturized, low-drift voltage reference nodes where board area and thermal management are constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage (VR) at which leakage remains ≤0.1 µA?
The datasheet specifies maximum reverse leakage IR = 0.1 µA at VR = 21 V. This is a guaranteed limit - not a typical value - and applies across the full operating temperature range of –65°C to +150°C. Operation above 21 V increases leakage exponentially and risks exceeding power dissipation limits.
Can MMSZ5254BS-7 be used in place of a 24 V Zener diode?
No - MMSZ5254BS-7 is rated for 27 V nominal zener voltage (25.65–28.35 V range). Substituting it for a 24 V part would raise the regulation threshold by ~3 V, potentially causing overvoltage stress on downstream components or failure to trigger protection circuits calibrated for 24 V.
Is derating required for operation above 25°C ambient?
Yes - the device must be derated linearly above 25°C using the 625 °C/W thermal resistance. At 75°C ambient, maximum allowable power drops to 100 mW (200 mW × [1 − (75−25)/625]). Derating follows the curve in Figure 1 of DS31038 Rev. 13-2.
Does the SOD-323 package support hand-soldering repair?
Yes - the SOD-323 package is compatible with hot-air rework tools and fine-tip irons. Recommended pad layout (AP02001) and reflow profile (J-STD-020D Level 1) ensure reliable solder joints. Manual soldering requires preheating the board to 100°C and limiting iron tip dwell time to <3 seconds per terminal.
