Product details
Overview
MMBZ5262ELT1 from onsemi is a 51 V ±5% Zener voltage regulator diode in SOT-23 package, rated for 225 mW power dissipation at 25°C on FR-5 board, with 2.5 mA test current, 125 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, and 0.1 µA leakage at 37 V reverse bias. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in portable power rails and signal conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MMBZ5262ELT1 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include nominal Zener voltage tolerance (±5%), thermal resistance (556 °C/W), ESD rating (>16 kV HBM), peak pulse power capability (225 W), and Pb-free SOT-23 packaging compatibility with automated assembly.
Technical Context
The MMBZ5262ELT1 operates as a two-terminal, silicon planar Zener diode with cathode-anode polarity and no internal connection on pin 2. Its regulation behavior is defined by reverse-biased breakdown at 51 V nominal, with temperature coefficient near +4.5 mV/°C (inferred from Figure 1 trend for ~50 V devices).
It delivers stable voltage reference under DC or low-frequency transient conditions, with specified Zener impedance (125 Ω @ 2.5 mA) and leakage current (0.1 µA @ 37 V), and supports surge immunity via 225 W 8×20 µs pulse rating per JEDEC standards.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 48.45–53.55 V @ IZT = 2.5 mA - defines regulated output range for voltage reference or clamping |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 225 mW @ TA = 25°C on FR-5 board - sets maximum continuous DC power handling in standard PCB layout |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 125 Ω @ IZT = 2.5 mA - determines regulation accuracy under load variation |
| Leakage Current (IR) | 0.1 µA @ VR = 37 V - ensures minimal parasitic current in high-impedance bias networks |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV) per Human Body Model - enables robust handling in manual assembly and field environments |
| Thermal Resistance (RJA) | 556 °C/W - quantifies junction-to-ambient heat rise per watt, critical for derating above 25°C |
| Package | SOT-23 (Case 318, Style 8) - surface-mount footprint with 1-Anode / 2-NC / 3-Cathode pinout for space-constrained designs |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23 plastic surface-mount package (Case 318, Style 8), void-free thermosetting body, UL 94 V-0 flammability rating, Pb-free compliant, cathode marked by band.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode | Connected to lower-potential side of Zener circuit; forward-biased during conduction |
| 2 | No Connection | Internally unconnected; must remain floating - not usable for grounding or sensing |
| 3 | Cathode | Connected to higher-potential side; Zener breakdown occurs between pins 1 and 3 |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 225 mW power rating on FR-5 board | Enables use in compact, low-power voltage reference circuits without heatsinking |
| ESD rating >16 kV (HBM) | Reduces risk of electrostatic damage during handling and board-level integration |
| Peak pulse power: 225 W (8 × 20 µs) | Provides transient overvoltage protection against common ESD and surge events |
| Pb-free SOT-23 packaging | Meets RoHS compliance requirements and supports lead-free reflow soldering profiles |
| Small outline (2.9 mm × 1.3 mm × 1.0 mm) | Fits high-density layouts in smartphones, wearables, and IoT sensor nodes |

FAQ
What is the nominal Zener voltage of the MMBZ5262ELT1?
The MMBZ5262ELT1 has a nominal Zener voltage of 51 V, with a guaranteed range of 48.45 V to 53.55 V when tested at IZT = 2.5 mA and TA = 25°C. This value is specified in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the official onsemi datasheet for the MMBZ5221ELT1 series. The MMBZ5262ELT1 maintains this voltage tolerance across its qualified operating temperature range.
Does the MMBZ5262ELT1 have a functional pin 2?
No, pin 2 of the MMBZ5262ELT1 is internally not connected (NC). As confirmed in the device marking diagram and Electrical Characteristics table, the SOT-23 package uses pin 1 as anode and pin 3 as cathode, with pin 2 left unconnected. PCB layout must ensure pin 2 remains floating-no routing or grounding is permitted, as it serves no electrical function in the MMBZ5262ELT1.
What is the maximum power dissipation of the MMBZ5262ELT1 on a standard FR-5 board?
The MMBZ5262ELT1 is rated for 225 mW total power dissipation on an FR-5 board at ambient temperature (TA) of 25°C, with linear derating of 1.8 mW/°C above that temperature. This rating is explicitly stated in the Maximum Ratings table on page 1 of the onsemi datasheet and applies to typical PCB mounting conditions without forced airflow or heatsinking.
Is the MMBZ5262ELT1 RoHS-compliant and Pb-free?
Yes, the "G" suffix in MMBZ5262ELT1/T3, G indicates a Pb-free package, fully compliant with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. The datasheet confirms Pb-free availability and references onsemi's Pb-free strategy documentation. The MMBZ5262ELT1 supports standard lead-free reflow soldering profiles and carries UL 94 V-0 flammability certification.
What is the Zener impedance of the MMBZ5262ELT1 at its test current?
The MMBZ5262ELT1 exhibits a maximum Zener impedance (ZZT) of 125 Ω when measured at its specified test current IZT = 2.5 mA and TA = 25°C. This parameter is listed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 and directly impacts regulation accuracy under varying load conditions-lower impedance yields tighter voltage stability for the MMBZ5262ELT1.
