Product details
Overview
MMSZ5255BS-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount silicon Zener diode with a nominal zener voltage of 28 V, ±5% tolerance (26.6–29.4 V), 200 mW power dissipation, 44 Ω zener impedance at 4.5 mA test current, and 0.1 µA reverse leakage at 21 V. It is housed in an SOD-323 package and used for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in low-power analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MMSZ5255BS-7-F datasheet, MMSZ5255BS-7-F pinout, MMSZ5255BS-7-F application, or MMSZ5255BS-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage accuracy, thermal resistance (625 °C/W), low leakage at rated VR, SOD-323 footprint compatibility, and RoHS/Green compliance for automated PCB assembly.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable reference voltage under varying load and temperature conditions. Its planar die construction ensures consistent voltage regulation, while the SOD-323 package enables high-density placement and reflow compatibility.
It delivers 28 V regulation at IZT = 4.5 mA with 44 Ω dynamic impedance, supporting stable biasing in sensor signal conditioning and voltage monitoring circuits. Thermal derating begins above +25°C ambient per Figure 1, with full 200 mW dissipation only at TA ≤ +25°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 28 V nominal, 26.6–29.4 V range at 4.5 mA - defines regulated output level in reference circuits |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 200 mW at TA = +25°C - limits continuous current to ~7.1 mA at 28 V |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 44 Ω at IZT = 4.5 mA - determines regulation stiffness under load transients |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.1 µA max at VR = 21 V - ensures minimal error current in high-impedance reference nodes |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 625 °C/W - requires careful PCB copper area planning to avoid junction overheating |
| Package | SOD-323 - 1.2–1.4 mm width, 2.3–2.7 mm length, 0.25–0.35 mm thickness - compatible with 0805 land patterns |
Pinout & Package
The MMSZ5255BS-7-F is a two-terminal device in the SOD-323 surface-mount package. The cathode is marked by a band on the top surface; the anode is unmarked. No internal circuitry or control logic is present - operation relies solely on reverse-biased PN junction characteristics.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / Reverse breakdown reference node | Connected to lower-potential side of regulated circuit; establishes reference ground reference point |
| Cathode | Zener voltage output terminal / Reverse breakdown anode | Marked with band; connected to higher-potential side; provides stable 28 V relative to anode |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Planar die construction | Ensures tight VZ tolerance and long-term stability under thermal cycling |
| SOD-323 package | Enables 0.65 mm pitch placement and compatibility with standard 0805 reflow profiles |
| Lead-free & RoHS compliant | Meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU with <900 ppm Br/Cl and <1000 ppm Sb - suitable for consumer and industrial PCBs |
| Low reverse leakage | 0.1 µA at 21 V supports high-impedance voltage divider and sensor bias networks without loading error |
Applications
| Industrial Sensor Signal Conditioning | USB-C Power Delivery Reference |
|---|---|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standalone shunt regulator supplying clean 28 V to MCU and level-shifters in multi-rail PD designs. Use Value: Eliminates need for LDO in low-current auxiliary path, reducing BOM count and board space. |
| Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) Monitoring | IoT Edge Node Battery Protection |
Use Scenario: Overvoltage detection on 24 V CAN bus power lines in BCM submodules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Clamping diode protecting downstream 3.3 V regulators from transient spikes up to 39 V. Use Value: Withstands 0.1 µA leakage at 21 V, avoiding false triggers during normal 24 V operation. |
Use Scenario: Monitoring Li-ion battery pack voltage (8S configuration ≈ 28 V nominal) in smart battery gauges. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision voltage reference for ADC input scaling in fuel gauge ICs. Use Value: 26.6–29.4 V tolerance matches 8S Li-ion pack variation, enabling single-point calibration. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX584C27LT1G | 27 V nominal, ±5%, 200 mW, SOD-323, 50 Ω ZZT @ 5 mA | Lower voltage; higher ZZT reduces regulation precision at light loads | Select when 27 V suffices and tighter VZ matching to adjacent components is required |
| MMBZ5255BLT1G | 28 V nominal, ±5%, 350 mW, SOT-23, 44 Ω ZZT @ 4.5 mA | Higher PD but larger SOT-23 footprint; same VZ and ZZT | Choose when >200 mW dissipation is needed and board space allows SOT-23 |
Compared with BZX584C27LT1G and MMBZ5255BLT1G, the MMSZ5255BS-7-F uniquely balances 28 V regulation, 44 Ω impedance, and SOD-323 miniaturization - making it optimal for space-constrained 28 V reference nodes where 200 mW is sufficient.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage (VR) this Zener can withstand without breakdown?
The MMSZ5255BS-7-F exhibits 0.1 µA reverse leakage at VR = 21 V, meaning it remains in non-breakdown mode up to that voltage. Breakdown begins near its nominal 28 V zener voltage; operation below 21 V ensures negligible conduction and no regulation.
Can this device be used in parallel for higher power handling?
No - Zener diodes exhibit negative temperature coefficients and mismatched VZ tolerances, causing current hogging when paralleled. For >200 mW, use a single higher-power Zener (e.g., 1N4749A) or active regulation instead.
Is the SOD-323 package compatible with standard 0805 solder paste stencils?
Yes - the SOD-323 outline (1.2–1.4 mm width × 2.3–2.7 mm length) aligns with IPC-7351B 0805 land pattern recommendations. Recommended pad layout is documented in Diodes AP02001, supporting reliable reflow yield.
Does this part meet AEC-Q200 stress testing requirements for automotive use?
No - the MMSZ5255BS-7-F is not AEC-Q200 qualified. For automotive applications, Diodes offers the AZ-series (e.g., AZMMSZ5255BS) with extended temperature screening and qualification testing per AEC-Q200 Rev D.
