MMBZ5246C SOT-23 Zener diode: a high-precision voltage stabilization solution developed by Jiangsu Changjing
In the field of semiconductor devices, Zener diodes are widely used as the core component for voltage regulation, in scenarios such as power management, signal stabilization, and overvoltage protection. The MMBZ5246C SOT-23 packaged Zener diode launched by Jiangsu Changjing Technology has become an indispensable voltage stabilization solution in mid to high end electronic devices due to its precise electrical characteristics, compact packaging design, and reliable quality certification. This article will comprehensively analyze the core value of this product from dimensions such as product parameters, technological advantages, application scenarios, and manufacturing processes.
1、 Core parameters and technical characteristics of the product
MMBZ5246C is a Zener diode with SOT-23 surface mount packaging, and its key parameters are as follows:
Zener voltage (Vz): 16V (± 2% tolerance), ensuring stable voltage reference in reverse breakdown state.
Rated power consumption (Pz): 225mW, supporting continuous operation in medium power scenarios.
Reverse leakage current (Ir): 100nA@12V The low leakage characteristic significantly reduces static power consumption.
Zener impedance (Zzt): 17 Ω, small dynamic resistance, high voltage regulation accuracy.
Working temperature range: -55 ℃ to 150 ℃, suitable for extreme environmental applications.
The device adopts a heavily doped PN junction design and achieves voltage stability through the Zener breakdown effect. When the reverse voltage reaches 16V, the diode enters the breakdown region, and the current increases sharply but the voltage remains constant, providing a precise voltage reference for the subsequent circuit. Its SOT-23 package (size 2.9mm × 1.3mm × 1.0mm) meets the requirements of miniaturization and heat dissipation. The pins are directly soldered to the surface of the PCB, simplifying the production process and improving reliability.
