Product details
Overview
MMSZ5254BS-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount Zener diode with nominal zener voltage 27 V, power dissipation 200 mW, and zener impedance 41 Ω at 5.0 mA test current, designed for precision voltage regulation and reference in low-power analog circuits such as sensor biasing and power supply feedback loops.
For engineers reviewing the MMSZ5254BS-7-F datasheet, MMSZ5254BS-7-F pinout, MMSZ5254BS-7-F application, or MMSZ5254BS-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±2.5% at 27 V), reverse leakage current (0.1 µA at 21 V), thermal resistance (625 °C/W), and SOD323 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable voltage across its terminals under varying load and temperature conditions. Its planar die construction ensures consistent breakdown characteristics and low noise performance critical for reference applications.
The device is rated for operation from −65 °C to +150 °C and exhibits typical capacitance of ~15 pF at 0 V bias (f = 1 MHz), making it suitable for DC and low-frequency regulation rather than RF signal paths.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX584C27LT1G | Same 27 V nominal, but ±5% tolerance and 300 mW rating; SOD-523 package (smaller footprint) | Higher power handling suits intermittent surge clamping; tighter board area constraints may require layout revision | Select when higher surge margin is needed and SOD-523 pad layout is available |
| MMBZ5254ET1G | Same 27 V nominal and ±2.5% tolerance, but 350 mW rating and SOT-23 package (larger, 3-pin) | Higher power and thermal mass supports sustained regulation; requires extra PCB real estate and different pick-and-place setup | Select when thermal derating headroom or manual rework access is prioritized over miniaturization |
Compared with BZX584C27LT1G and MMBZ5254ET1G, MMSZ5254BS-7-F offers optimal balance of precision (±2.5%), compactness (SOD323), and manufacturability for high-volume consumer-grade voltage references-without sacrificing reliability or RoHS compliance.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage before breakdown for MMSZ5254BS-7-F?
The nominal zener voltage is 27 V with a guaranteed range of 25.65 V to 28.35 V at 5.0 mA test current. Breakdown begins near the lower limit; full regulation occurs above 25.65 V. The device is not rated for continuous operation above 28.35 V in regulation mode.
Can MMSZ5254BS-7-F be used in place of a 24 V Zener diode?
No - MMSZ5254BS-7-F is specifically rated for 27 V nominal zener voltage. Substituting it for a 24 V part would raise the regulated voltage by ~12.5%, potentially causing overvoltage stress in feedback or bias circuits calibrated for 24 V operation.
Is the SOD323 package hand-solderable?
Yes - the SOD323 package is compatible with fine-tip irons and flux, though its 1.2–1.4 mm width requires steady technique. Diodes Incorporated recommends using the AP02001 recommended pad layout and controlled reflow profiles for highest yield in production.
Does MMSZ5254BS-7-F have a specified capacitance value?
Capacitance is not specified per datasheet, but Figure 4 shows typical total capacitance ≈15 pF at 0 V bias and 1 MHz for 27 V nominal devices. This value is relevant for low-frequency regulation but unsuitable for RF bypass or timing applications.
