Product details
Overview
MMBZ5258BLT1 from onsemi is a 36 V, 225 mW surface-mount Zener diode in SOT-23 package, designed for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in space-constrained circuits. It delivers 34.2–37.8 V reverse Zener voltage at 3.4 mA test current, with 70 Ω dynamic impedance and 0.1 μA leakage at 27 V, and is used in portable power rails and IC supply clamping.
For engineers reviewing the MMBZ5258BLT1 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±5%), thermal resistance (556 °C/W on FR-5), ESD rating (>16 kV HBM), and SOT-23 footprint compatibility with automated assembly.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference diode with cathode-anode polarity, requiring no external biasing. Its Zener breakdown mechanism provides stable regulation across −65 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range, with temperature coefficient near zero at 36 V nominal.
The SOT-23 package features void-free thermosetting plastic construction, UL 94 V-0 flammability rating, and 260 °C soldering tolerance for 10 seconds. Pin 2 is unconnected - only pins 1 (anode) and 3 (cathode) are electrically active.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 34.2–37.8 V @ IZT = 3.4 mA - defines clamping threshold for 3.3 V/5 V rail protection |
| Power Dissipation | 225 mW on FR-5 board - limits continuous current to ~6.3 mA at 36 V without heatsinking |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 70 Ω @ IZT - determines regulation stiffness under load transients |
| Leakage Current (IR) | 0.1 μA @ VR = 27 V - ensures minimal standby power loss in battery-powered systems |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV HBM) - enables direct placement on I/O lines without additional ESD protection |
| Junction Temp Range | −65 °C to +150 °C - supports operation in automotive under-hood and industrial ambient environments |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23 (TO-236) package: 2.90 mm × 1.30 mm × 1.00 mm body, 1.90 mm lead pitch, Pb-free and RoHS compliant. Cathode indicated by band; pin 2 is NC.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode | Connected to lower-potential node (e.g., ground or regulated rail return) |
| 2 | No Connection | Internally isolated - must remain unconnected on PCB |
| 3 | Cathode | Connected to protected node (e.g., IC supply pin); conducts when voltage exceeds VZ |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 225 mW power rating on FR-5 | Enables compact voltage clamping without thermal derating in standard PCB layouts |
| ESD robustness >16 kV HBM | Eliminates need for discrete TVS in low-energy I/O protection schemes |
| SOT-23 automated assembly compatibility | Supports high-speed pick-and-place with standard vision alignment and reflow profiles |
| Zero-bias capacitance <10 pF | Minimizes signal distortion in RF or high-speed digital line protection |
Applications
| USB Port Overvoltage Protection | Microcontroller Reset Circuit |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C36 | 36 V nominal, 300 mW rating, 90 Ω ZZT, SOT-23 package | Higher power allows 8.3 mA continuous clamping; less suitable for ultra-low-leakage designs | Prefer when higher surge energy handling is required and 0.1 μA leakage is not critical |
| MMBZ5258BS | Same electrical specs, but in SOD-123 package (3.7 × 1.6 mm) | Larger footprint; better thermal dissipation (300 mW on alumina) but incompatible with fine-pitch SOT-23 layouts | Choose when board layout permits larger package and improved thermal performance is prioritized |
Compared with BZX84-C36 and MMBZ5258BS, the MMBZ5258BLT1 offers optimal balance of ultra-low leakage (0.1 μA), industry-standard SOT-23 footprint, and AEC-Q101 qualification - making it preferred for space- and reliability-critical portable and automotive subsystems.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of MMBZ5258BLT1?
The MMBZ5258BLT1 has a Zener voltage range of 34.2 V to 37.8 V at 3.4 mA test current, representing a ±5% tolerance around the nominal 36 V rating. This tolerance is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range and is verified per onsemi's production testing protocol - not derived from typical curves or extrapolation.
Is MMBZ5258BLT1 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the MMBZ5258BLT1 is qualified to AEC-Q101 standards and supports junction temperatures from −65 °C to +150 °C. Its Pb-free, RoHS-compliant SOT-23 package and >16 kV HBM ESD rating make MMBZ5258BLT1 appropriate for infotainment power rails, body control module clamping, and sensor interface protection in passenger vehicles.
Does MMBZ5258BLT1 have a built-in capacitor or ESD structure?
No, the MMBZ5258BLT1 is a discrete Zener diode with no integrated capacitor or dedicated ESD clamp structure. Its >16 kV HBM rating arises from optimized junction design and packaging - not auxiliary components. Measured zero-bias capacitance is <10 pF, confirming absence of parasitic capacitance-enhancing features.
Can MMBZ5258BLT1 replace MMBZ5258BLT1G?
No - MMBZ5258BLT1 and MMBZ5258BLT1G are distinct orderable parts. The "G" suffix denotes Pb-free compliance per JEDEC J-STD-609; MMBZ5258BLT1 lacks this designation and may contain lead. Electrical specs are identical, but MMBZ5258BLT1G is required for RoHS-compliant designs, while MMBZ5258BLT1 is obsolete for new designs.
What is the thermal resistance of MMBZ5258BLT1 on standard PCB?
The MMBZ5258BLT1 has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RJA) of 556 °C/W when mounted on an FR-5 board per onsemi's test conditions (1.0 × 0.75 × 0.62 in). This value assumes no copper pour or thermal vias - adding 1 cm² of 2-oz copper on both sides reduces RJA by ~30%, directly improving sustained power handling.
