Product details
Overview
MMBZ5258BLT1G 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 ±5% nominal Zener voltage tolerance at 3.4 mA test current, exhibits 70 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, and supports operation from −65°C to +150°C. It is used in power supply feedback loops, voltage reference circuits, and ESD-sensitive portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the MMBZ5258BLT1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its 36 V nominal Zener voltage, 225 mW FR-4 board power rating, 70 Ω Zener impedance at 3.4 mA, Class 3 (>16 kV) HBM ESD rating, and SOT-23 pin-compatible footprint with anode–NC–cathode terminal configuration.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference using avalanche breakdown in silicon PN junction. Its 36 V nominal Zener voltage places it in the medium-voltage range where temperature coefficient is near zero (≈+2.5 mV/°C per datasheet Figure 1), minimizing drift across industrial temperature ranges. The 225 mW power rating is specified on FR-5 board at 25°C with 1.8 mW/°C derating above ambient.
The SOT-23 package features a defined pinout: Pin 1 = Anode, Pin 2 = No Connection, Pin 3 = Cathode - confirmed by mechanical outline Style 8 and Electrical Characteristics table. Its 0.25 μA leakage current at 27 V reverse bias ensures low standby power loss in battery-powered systems.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C36LT1G | Same 36 V nominal Zener, but 300 mW rating on FR-4 and 60 Ω ZZT; slightly higher leakage (0.5 μA @ 28.8 V) | Better power handling for higher-current references; less suitable for ultra-low-leakage bias networks | Select when >225 mW dissipation margin is required and leakage <0.25 μA is not critical |
| MMBZ5258BS | Same electrical specs, but in SOD-123 package (3.7 × 1.6 mm); no NC pin - 2-terminal configuration | Larger footprint and manual assembly compatibility; lacks SOT-23's automated placement optimization | Select when board real estate allows larger package and NC-pin routing complexity must be avoided |
Compared with BZX84-C36LT1G and MMBZ5258BS, the MMBZ5258BLT1G uniquely balances SOT-23 miniaturization, NC-pin isolation for noise-sensitive nodes, and industry-leading 16 kV HBM ESD rating - making it optimal for high-density, ESD-prone portable and industrial designs.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for MMBZ5258BLT1G?
The MMBZ5258BLT1G has a nominal Zener voltage of 36 V with a tolerance of ±5%, meaning the actual measured voltage at 3.4 mA test current falls between 34.2 V and 37.8 V. This tolerance is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range and is verified per onsemi's production testing protocol.
Does MMBZ5258BLT1G have a functional pin 2 connection?
No, MMBZ5258BLT1G Pin 2 is internally not connected (NC). Per onsemi's mechanical outline Style 8 and Electrical Characteristics table, only Pins 1 (Anode) and 3 (Cathode) are electrically active. PCB layout must leave Pin 2 unconnected - no trace or thermal pad should be attached to it.
What is the maximum power dissipation of MMBZ5258BLT1G on an alumina substrate?
On a 0.4 × 0.3 × 0.024 inch 99.5% alumina substrate, the MMBZ5258BLT1G supports 300 mW at 25°C, derated at 2.4 mW/°C above ambient. This higher rating reflects superior thermal conductivity versus FR-5 boards, enabling use in thermally demanding industrial modules.
Is MMBZ5258BLT1G suitable for automotive applications?
The standard MMBZ5258BLT1G is not AEC-Q101 qualified. For automotive use, the SZMMBZ5258BLT1G variant - which shares identical electrical specs but includes PPAP-capable manufacturing and site-specific controls - must be selected. Always verify qualification status via official onsemi documentation before automotive deployment.
How does the temperature coefficient of MMBZ5258BLT1G affect voltage stability?
At its 36 V nominal Zener voltage, the MMBZ5258BLT1G exhibits a temperature coefficient of approximately +2.5 mV/°C (per Figure 1), resulting in ~±0.375 V drift over a −55°C to +150°C range. This low drift supports stable reference performance in unregulated environments without external compensation.
