Product details
Overview
MM5Z36VT5GF from Nexperia is a 36 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 25.2 Ω typical differential resistance at IZ = 2 mA and 30.4–37.4 V working voltage range. It serves as a precision voltage reference or shunt regulator in low-power analog signal conditioning and power rail stabilization circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MM5Z36VT5GF datasheet, MM5Z36VT5GF pinout, MM5Z36VT5GF application, or MM5Z36VT5GF equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±2 %), thermal resistance (65 K/W to solder point), junction temperature limit (150 °C), and ultra-small SOD523 footprint suitability for space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with tightly controlled VZ = 35.28–36.72 V at IZ = 2 mA, exhibiting a positive temperature coefficient of +30.4 mV/K (min) to +37.4 mV/K (max). Its low 25.2 Ω differential resistance ensures stable regulation under varying load currents.
The device uses planar epitaxial silicon construction, optimized for low leakage (IR ≤ 90 µA at VR = 28 V) and minimal capacitance (Cd = 45 pF at f = 1 MHz, VR = 0 V), making it suitable for high-frequency biasing and noise-sensitive reference applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 35.28 V (min) to 36.72 V (max) at IZ = 2 mA - defines precise clamping threshold for overvoltage protection or reference generation |
| Tolerance | ±2 % - enables accurate voltage setting without post-production trimming in production-grade designs |
| Differential Resistance (rdiff) | 25.2 Ω typical at IZ = 2 mA - determines regulation stiffness and output impedance in shunt configurations |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 300 mW at Tamb = 25 °C on FR4 PCB with 35 mm² copper - sets maximum continuous DC power handling capability |
| Non-repetitive Peak Reverse Power (PZSM) | 40 W for tp = 100 µs square wave - supports transient surge suppression in ESD-coupled or inductive-switching environments |
| Junction-to-Solder-Point Thermal Resistance (Rth(j-sp)) | 65 K/W - quantifies thermal path efficiency from die to PCB, critical for reliability under pulsed loads |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤ 90 µA at VR = 28 V - ensures low standby leakage in battery-powered or high-impedance bias networks |
Pinout & Package

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (K) | Connected to regulated output node; polarity marker (bar) identifies this terminal for correct PCB orientation |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; completes reverse-bias path during Zener conduction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX584-C36 | Same 36 V nominal, ±5 % tolerance (vs. ±2 %), 500 mW Ptot, SOD-523 package | Higher power handling but looser voltage spec - suited for non-critical clamping where cost outweighs precision | Select when budget constraints dominate and ±5 % VZ is acceptable for system margin |
| MM3Z36VT1G | Same 36 V nominal, ±2 % tolerance, but SOD-323 package (larger), 300 mW Ptot, 200 Ω rdiff | Lower thermal performance (Rth(j-sp) ≈ 120 K/W) and higher dynamic impedance - less stable under pulsed loads | Select only if legacy SOD-323 footprint compatibility is mandatory and board space permits larger size |
Compared with BZX584-C36 and MM3Z36VT1G, MM5Z36VT5GF delivers superior voltage accuracy and thermal response in the smallest possible footprint, making it optimal for next-generation compact, high-precision regulation where layout area and long-term stability are prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current rating for MM5Z36VT5GF?
The MM5Z36VT5GF is not rated for continuous forward conduction; its primary function is reverse-bias Zener operation. The datasheet specifies a maximum forward current (IF) of 200 mA under pulse conditions (tp ≤ 300 µs), with forward voltage capped at 1.1 V at 100 mA. Continuous forward bias is not recommended and may cause irreversible degradation.
Can MM5Z36VT5GF be used in parallel for higher power dissipation?
No - Zener diodes exhibit negative temperature coefficients below ~5 V and positive above, but even within the same batch, slight VZ mismatches cause current hogging. The MM5Z36VT5GF's ±2 % tolerance and lack of matched pairing specification make parallel operation unreliable and thermally unstable; use a single higher-rated device or active regulation instead.
How does the 65 K/W junction-to-solder-point thermal resistance impact PCB layout?
This value assumes direct thermal coupling from the cathode pad to a ≥35 mm² copper pour. To achieve rated 300 mW dissipation, the PCB must allocate at least that copper area beneath the SOD523 footprint, with no thermal relief on the cathode pad. Reducing copper area increases junction temperature proportionally, risking premature failure at rated power.
Is MM5Z36VT5GF suitable for automotive applications?
No - the MM5Z36VT5GF is not AEC-Q200 qualified. Nexperia explicitly states in its legal disclaimers that non-automotive qualified products like this part are unsuitable for safety-critical or life-support systems. For automotive cabin controllers or body electronics, select an AEC-Q200-compliant Zener such as PZU36B2 or BZX84-C36V.
