Product details
Overview
MM3Z39VB from onsemi is a 39 V ±2% Zener diode in SOD−323FL package, rated for 200 mW power dissipation, 122 Ω dynamic impedance at 5 mA test current, and 0.045 µA reverse leakage at 27.3 V, used for precision voltage regulation and reference in low-power analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MM3Z39VB datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal behavior, cathode/anode terminal mapping, and direct alternatives for voltage reference design and overvoltage protection circuits.
Technical Context
The MM3Z39VB operates as a two-terminal silicon Zener diode with sharp breakdown knee and stable regulation under DC or pulsed conditions (10 ms pulse width). Its 39 V nominal Zener voltage is specified at IZT = 5 mA with ±2% tolerance, and it maintains regulation down to IZK = 0.5 mA with ZZK = 329 Ω.
Thermal resistance is 595 °C/W (junction-to-ambient), limiting continuous operation to ≤200 mW at TA = 25 °C. Reverse leakage remains ≤0.045 µA at VR = 27.3 V, ensuring minimal quiescent current in high-impedance bias networks.
Key Specifications

| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 38.22–39.78 V @ IZT = 5 mA; defines precise regulation point for feedback loops and references |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 122 Ω max @ IZT = 5 mA; determines output voltage variation under load transients |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 200 mW max @ TA = 25 °C; sets upper bound for safe continuous DC operation |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤0.045 µA @ VR = 27.3 V; ensures negligible current draw in standby or high-Z sensing nodes |
| Junction Temperature (TJ) | 150 °C max; constrains PCB layout and thermal relief for reliability in enclosed environments |
| Package | SOD−323FL (Case 477AB); 1.7 × 1.25 × 0.9 mm footprint enabling dense placement in space-constrained designs |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX384-B39,115 (Nexperia) | Same 39 V ±2%, SOD-323 package, but 300 mW PD rating and 90 Ω ZZT | Higher power margin supports transient-heavy automotive environments | Select when operating near thermal limits or requiring tighter impedance control |
| MMBZ5242B (onsemi) | 39 V ±5%, SOT-23 package, 350 mW PD, 100 Ω ZZT | Larger footprint and looser tolerance; suited for non-critical biasing | Choose for cost-sensitive consumer designs where ±5% regulation suffices |

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of MM3Z39VB?
The MM3Z39VB has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±2% at 39 V nominal, tested at IZT = 5 mA per onsemi datasheet Rev. 3 (August 2023). This means its actual breakdown voltage falls between 38.22 V and 39.78 V under standard test conditions, making MM3Z39VB suitable for applications requiring tight voltage reference stability without calibration.
What is the maximum power dissipation for MM3Z39VB?
The MM3Z39VB is rated for 200 mW maximum power dissipation at TA = 25 °C, with thermal resistance RJA = 595 °C/W. Derating is required above 25 °C ambient - approximately 0.336 mW/°C - to maintain junction temperature ≤150 °C. This limit defines safe continuous operation in MM3Z39VB-based shunt regulators and reference circuits.
Does MM3Z39VB have a Pb-free finish?
Yes, MM3Z39VB features a matte tin (Sn) finish and is Pb-free, compliant with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level (MSL) requirements. The SOD−323FL package uses lead-free terminations compatible with standard reflow soldering profiles, confirming MM3Z39VB's suitability for environmentally regulated manufacturing.
What is the reverse leakage current of MM3Z39VB at 27.3 V?
At VR = 27.3 V (70% of nominal VZ), the MM3Z39VB exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current of 0.045 µA, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This ultra-low leakage ensures minimal loading in high-impedance reference dividers and preserves accuracy in battery-powered MM3Z39VB applications such as portable medical sensors.
How is the cathode identified on MM3Z39VB?
The cathode of MM3Z39VB is marked by a polarity band located at the end of the SOD−323FL package body, corresponding to pin 2 in the connection diagram. This band aligns with industry-standard SOD-323 marking conventions and must be oriented toward the higher-potential node when using MM3Z39VB as a shunt regulator to ensure proper reverse-bias operation.
