Product details
Overview
MMBZ5236B_D87Z from Fairchild Semiconductor is a 7.5 V, ±5% tolerance Zener diode in SOT-23 package, rated for 350 mW power dissipation, with 6.0 Ω dynamic impedance at 20 mA test current and 500 µA reverse leakage at 3.0 V. It provides precise voltage regulation in low-power biasing and reference circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MMBZ5236B_D87Z datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance, dynamic impedance at nominal test current, reverse leakage at specified VR, thermal stability across -55°C to +150°C, and SOT-23 footprint compatibility with automated assembly.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference diode, conducting in reverse breakdown to maintain stable DC voltage under varying load or supply conditions. Its 7.5 V nominal zener voltage is specified at 20 mA test current, with 6.0 Ω dynamic impedance indicating low AC resistance near regulation point.
Thermal performance is defined by a maximum junction temperature of +150°C and storage range from -55°C to +150°C. Forward voltage is capped at 0.9 V at 10 mA, confirming standard silicon PN junction behavior for bidirectional use in clamping or dual-purpose bias networks.
Key Specifications

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance of MMBZ5236B_D87Z?
The MMBZ5236B_D87Z has a zener voltage tolerance of ±5% at 7.5 V, meaning its actual breakdown voltage falls between 7.125 V and 7.875 V when tested at 20 mA. This tolerance is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range and is critical for applications requiring predictable regulation thresholds. The MMBZ5236B_D87Z maintains this specification under standard JEDEC test conditions without requiring binning or calibration.
Can MMBZ5236B_D87Z be used in forward conduction mode?
Yes, the MMBZ5236B_D87Z supports forward conduction with a maximum forward voltage of 0.9 V at 10 mA, consistent with standard silicon PN junction behavior. This allows bidirectional use in circuits such as dual-rail clamps or level-shifters where both forward and reverse characteristics are leveraged. The MMBZ5236B_D87Z does not require special biasing for forward operation and behaves predictably up to its absolute maximum ratings.
What is the maximum power dissipation for MMBZ5236B_D87Z?
The MMBZ5236B_D87Z has a maximum power dissipation of 350 mW at 25°C ambient temperature, as defined in its Absolute Maximum Ratings table. Derating is required above 25°C at 2.33 mW/°C, reaching zero dissipation at +150°C junction temperature. This rating applies to the SOT-23 package and must be respected to avoid thermal runaway or permanent degradation of the MMBZ5236B_D87Z.
How does the dynamic impedance of MMBZ5236B_D87Z affect regulation performance?
The MMBZ5236B_D87Z exhibits 6.0 Ω dynamic impedance at 20 mA, meaning its incremental resistance in breakdown is low enough to minimize output voltage deviation under small load current changes. For example, a 1 mA load step causes only ~6 mV shift in regulated voltage. This characteristic makes the MMBZ5236B_D87Z suitable for precision biasing where stability under dynamic conditions is essential.
Is MMBZ5236B_D87Z compatible with lead-free reflow soldering?
The MMBZ5236B_D87Z uses standard matte tin plating and is rated for peak reflow temperatures up to 260°C per JEDEC J-STD-020, making it compatible with lead-free soldering processes. Its SOT-23 package withstands standard IPC-A-610 Class 2 thermal profiles without delamination or parametric shift. The MMBZ5236B_D87Z meets RoHS requirements when sourced from authorized distributors with valid material declarations.
