Product details
Overview
MM5Z56V from Fairchild Semiconductor is a surface-mount Zener diode with nominal zener voltage 56 V (min 52 V, max 60 V), 200 Ω dynamic impedance at 2 mA test current, 200 mW power dissipation, and SOD-523F package. It provides precise voltage regulation in low-power biasing, overvoltage protection, and reference circuits for industrial sensors and power supply feedback loops.
For engineers reviewing the MM5Z56V datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±7.1%), low-profile SOD-523F footprint (<0.70 mm height), moisture sensitivity level 1, and verified 500 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance under FR-4 PCB mounting.
Technical Context
The MM5Z56V operates as a two-terminal voltage reference device, conducting in reverse breakdown to maintain stable voltage across its terminals when reverse-biased above VZ. Its zener voltage is specified at IZT = 2 mA with pulse testing (10 ms), and its dynamic impedance (ZZT) is measured under AC superposition at 10% of IZT.
Designed for ambient operation from –55 °C to +150 °C, it features a green mold compound, matte tin (Sn) lead finish, and cathode identification via molded band. The SOD-523F package conforms to JEITA SC79 and supports automated placement on high-density PCBs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 52–60 V at IZT = 2 mA - defines regulated output range for precision clamping or reference use |
| Zener Impedance ZZT | 200 Ω max - limits voltage variation under load changes in feedback or protection circuits |
| Power Dissipation PD | 200 mW - sets maximum continuous reverse power handling on standard FR-4 PCB |
| Reverse Leakage IR | 0.05 μA max at VR = 39.2 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in high-impedance bias networks |
| Thermal Resistance RθJA | 500 °C/W - determines temperature rise per mW dissipated; requires thermal-aware layout at >100 mW |
| Operating Temperature | –55 °C to +150 °C - supports deployment in automotive engine control and industrial motor drives |
| Moisture Sensitivity Level | MSL 1 - allows unlimited floor life and standard reflow without baking |
Pinout & Package
SOD-523F is a 2-lead, flat-lead, ultra-small outline plastic package measuring 1.2 × 0.8 × 0.7 mm (L × W × H), with cathode identified by a molded band on the body. Mounting uses minimum land pads on FR-4 PCB.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Anode) | Forward conduction terminal / Reference ground node | Connected to circuit ground or lower-potential node in shunt regulator configuration |
| 2 (Cathode) | Zener breakdown terminal / Regulated output node | Connected to input rail or feedback point; voltage at this pin clamps to VZ when reverse-biased |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low profile SOD-523F package | Height <0.70 mm enables use in space-constrained portable and wearable electronics |
| Wide zener voltage range (2.4–75 V) | MM5Z56V occupies the 56 V segment-ideal for 48 V system overvoltage protection and telecom line interface clamping |
| Pb-free and RoHS-compliant construction | Meets global environmental compliance requirements for industrial and consumer end equipment |
| Matte tin (Sn) lead finish | Ensures reliable solderability and intermetallic formation during lead-free reflow (J-STD-020) |
| Green mold compound | Provides visual identification and meets halogen-free material specifications (IEC 61249-2-21) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX584-C56 | 56 V ±5%, 300 mW, SOD-523 package, higher power but same footprint | Higher power handling supports longer surge duration; slightly tighter voltage tolerance | Select BZX584-C56 when >200 mW transient energy absorption is required without changing PCB layout |
| MMBZ5255BLT1G | 56 V ±5%, 225 mW, SOT-23 package, larger footprint and higher thermal resistance (350 °C/W) | Lower ZZT (150 Ω), but requires more board area and less thermal efficiency | Choose MMBZ5255BLT1G only if existing SOT-23 land pattern must be reused and 225 mW suffices |
Compared with MM5Z56V, BZX584-C56 offers higher surge capability in identical SOD-523F space, while MMBZ5255BLT1G trades compactness for lower impedance but demands larger PCB real estate and delivers inferior thermal performance.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance of MM5Z56V?
The MM5Z56V has a zener voltage range of 52 V to 60 V at IZT = 2 mA, corresponding to a ±7.1% tolerance about the nominal 56 V value. This is verified per the June 2015 Rev. 1.5 datasheet and applies under pulse test conditions (10 ms). The MM5Z56V does not specify a tighter statistical distribution; design margins must accommodate the full min–max span.
Can MM5Z56V be used in automotive under-hood applications?
Yes, MM5Z56V supports operation from –55 °C to +150 °C and is qualified for industrial temperature ranges. While not AEC-Q200 certified, its thermal and electrical specs align with under-hood subsystems such as engine control sensor biasing-provided external derating and layout thermal management are applied. The MM5Z56V is not intended for safety-critical airbag or braking functions.
What is the cathode identification method on MM5Z56V?
The cathode of MM5Z56V is marked by a molded band on the SOD-523F package body, consistent with JEITA SC79 standards. Pin 2 (cathode) must connect to the higher-potential node in shunt regulation. This marking is visible under 20× magnification and remains legible after reflow; no laser marking or ink is used.
Does MM5Z56V require pre-baking before reflow soldering?
No, MM5Z56V is rated Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (MSL 1), meaning it has unlimited floor life and may be placed directly into lead-free reflow profiles (e.g., J-STD-020) without baking. This eliminates process steps and reduces risk of moisture-induced popcorning during assembly-confirmed in the official Fairchild MM5Z2V4–MM5Z75V datasheet Rev. 1.5.
How does MM5Z56V compare to MM5Z47V in terms of thermal performance?
Both MM5Z56V and MM5Z47V share identical SOD-523F packaging, thermal resistance (RθJA = 500 °C/W), and absolute maximum ratings. Their thermal behavior differs only in power dissipation margin: at equal ambient temperature, MM5Z56V reaches higher junction temperature than MM5Z47V when dissipating the same power due to higher VZ × IZ product. The MM5Z56V datasheet confirms identical thermal characterization conditions apply across the family.
