MMBZ5242B-7-F

Diodes Incorporated · Zener Diodes · SOT-23

MMBZ5242B-7-F from Diodes Incorporated, in a SOT-23. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 A passive Zener anode, connected to the diode in the device schematic; the 12V (MMBZ5242B) nominal zener voltage is measured at IZT = 20mA between this pin and the cathode.
2 NC unconnected Bottom-right terminal in the device schematic has no internal connection to the diode.
3 K passive Zener cathode (single top terminal in the schematic); the MMBZ5242B has VZ 12V nominal (11.40V min to 12.60V max) at IZT = 20mA.
