Product details
Overview
MM5Z13VT5GF from Nexperia is a 13 V ±2 % tolerance Zener diode in SOD523 (SC-79) package, rated for 300 mW total power dissipation and 40 W non-repetitive peak reverse power, with 0.1 Ω differential resistance at IZ = 8 mA and 7.0 mV/K temperature coefficient at IZ = 2 mA - used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage clamping in low-power analog sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the MM5Z13VT5GF datasheet, MM5Z13VT5GF pinout, MM5Z13VT5GF application, or MM5Z13VT5GF equivalent, this device supports stable 13 V regulation under transient surges up to 100 µs, operates across −55 °C to +150 °C ambient, and delivers <105 pF capacitance at 0 V reverse bias - critical for ESD-sensitive signal conditioning paths.
Technical Context
This Zener diode functions as a two-terminal shunt voltage regulator, maintaining a stable 13 V reverse breakdown voltage (VZ = 12.74–13.26 V at IZ = 8 mA) with low dynamic impedance (rdiff ≤ 0.1 Ω) and predictable thermal drift (+7.0 mV/K). It operates exclusively in reverse-bias conduction mode for regulation or clamping.
Its SOD523 package enables ultra-compact placement on high-density PCBs, with thermal resistance from junction to solder point at 65 K/W and junction-to-ambient at 350 K/W on FR4 with 35 mm² copper area - supporting reliable operation in thermally constrained environments without heatsinking.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VZ (Nominal) | 13 V - precise reverse breakdown voltage for stable reference generation |
| VZ Tolerance | ±2 % - ensures tight regulation window of 12.74 V to 13.26 V at 8 mA |
| rdiff | ≤ 0.1 Ω - minimal voltage shift under load current variation, critical for accuracy |
| SZ | +7.0 mV/K - predictable positive temperature coefficient for bias compensation |
| Ptot | 300 mW - maximum continuous power handling on standard FR4 PCB |
| PZSM | 40 W - surge capability for 100 µs square-wave transients without failure |
| Cd | 105 pF at 0 V - low capacitance preserves high-frequency signal integrity in clamping |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX584-C13 | Same 13 V nominal, ±5 % tolerance (vs. ±2 %), 200 mW Ptot, SOD523 package | Lower accuracy and power handling; suitable only where cost outweighs precision | Select when ±5 % regulation tolerance is acceptable and board-level surge energy is <20 W |
| MMSZ5243B | 13 V nominal, ±5 % tolerance, 500 mW Ptot, SOD-123 package (larger footprint) | Higher power but 2.5× larger PCB area; rdiff = 10 Ω (100× higher than MM5Z13VT5GF) | Choose only if thermal margin requires >300 mW continuous dissipation and layout permits SOD-123 size |
Compared with BZX584-C13 and MMSZ5243B, MM5Z13VT5GF uniquely combines ±2 % tolerance, 0.1 Ω rdiff, and 40 W surge rating in the smallest SOD523 footprint - making it optimal for high-accuracy, space-constrained, and transient-prone designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current (IZ) for stable 13 V regulation?
The MM5Z13VT5GF achieves specified VZ and rdiff performance at IZ = 8 mA, with absolute maximum IZ limited by Ptot = 300 mW - yielding ~23 mA max continuous current (13 V × 23 mA = 299 mW). Operation beyond this risks thermal runaway or parameter shift.
Does the cathode marking align with industry-standard polarity conventions?
Yes: the cathode (K) is marked with a visible band on Pin 1, consistent with JEDEC SC-79 and IEC 60747-2 standards. When mounted with the marking bar facing left, Pin 1 is cathode and Pin 2 is anode - matching schematic symbols and PCB silkscreen conventions.
Can MM5Z13VT5GF be used in parallel for higher power handling?
No - Zener diodes exhibit negative temperature coefficients below ~5 V and positive above, but even within the same batch, minor VZ mismatches cause current hogging. Parallel use is not recommended; instead, select a higher-rated single device or implement active regulation.
Is this part qualified for automotive applications per AEC-Q200?
No - MM5Z13VT5GF is not AEC-Q200 qualified. Nexperia explicitly states in its legal disclaimers that non-automotive qualified products are unsuitable for safety-critical or life-support systems. For automotive use, consider the AEC-Q200 qualified PZM13T1G or BZX84-C13E6327.
