MMSZ5241C-E3-08

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The MMSZ5241C-E3-08 is a silicon planar Zener diode manufactured by Vishay Semiconductors in the SOD-123 surface-mount package. It provides a nominal Zener voltage of 11 V with a tight tolerance of ±2%. The device operates at a test current of 20 mA and dissipates up to 500 mW. Key electrical parameters include a maximum reverse leakage current of 2 µA, a typical dynamic resistance of 22 Ω, and a temperature coefficient of 0.067 %/°C.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Utilizes silicon planar technology for stable voltage regulation
• Offers high precision with a ±2% Zener voltage tolerance
• Complies with RoHS standards for commercial grade applications

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage reference circuits requiring precise potential levels
• Overvoltage protection stages in electronic systems
• Clamping applications within signal processing paths

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering code matches the specific suffix requirements for your manufacturing line. Confirm compliance with local environmental regulations and ensure the component meets the necessary AEC-Q101 standards if automotive qualification is required for the final assembly.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a strict 11 V reference is needed with minimal deviation. The ±2% tolerance makes it suitable for precision analog designs where standard 5% variants may introduce unacceptable error margins into the circuit performance.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the MMSZ5225 to MMSZ5267 series of small signal Zener diodes. The 'C' suffix specifically denotes the tighter ±2% tolerance band compared to the standard 'B' suffix devices. It is designed for general-purpose use in compact surface-mount layouts.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

MMSZ5241B-E3-08 offers identical physical characteristics but with a wider ±5% voltage tolerance.
