Product details
Overview
MMBZ5263ELT1 from onsemi is a 56 V ±5% Zener voltage regulator diode in SOT-23 package, rated for 225 mW power dissipation at 25°C on FR-5 board, with 150 mA test current (IZT), 1300 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT), and 0.1 μA reverse leakage at 43 V (VR). It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in low-power portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the MMBZ5263ELT1 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include nominal Zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance (556 °C/W), ESD rating (>16 kV HBM), peak pulse power (225 W), and SOT-23 footprint compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse-biased Zener breakdown mode, delivering stable regulation across ambient temperatures from −65°C to +150°C. Its 56 V nominal Zener voltage falls within the 2.4–91 V family range, with temperature coefficient optimized for mid-voltage Zeners (≈+3.5 mV/°C typical per Figure 1).
The SOT-23 package features a defined pinout (Pin 1: Anode, Pin 2: No Connection, Pin 3: Cathode), polarity band marking, and Pb-free construction compliant with RoHS. Thermal performance is specified for FR-5 board (RJA = 556 °C/W) and alumina substrate (RJA = 417 °C/W), supporting both standard and thermally enhanced mounting.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 53.2–58.8 V @ IZT = 2.2 mA - defines clamping threshold with ±5% tolerance at nominal 56 V |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 225 mW @ TA = 25°C on FR-5 board - sets continuous DC power limit before thermal derating begins |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 1300 Ω @ IZT = 2.2 mA - indicates regulation stiffness; higher value implies greater output voltage variation under load change |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.1 μA @ VR = 43 V - confirms low standby current in pre-breakdown region, critical for battery-powered systems |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV) per Human Body Model - ensures robustness against handling-induced electrostatic discharge |
| Peak Pulse Power | 225 W @ 8 × 20 μs waveform - supports transient overvoltage suppression without failure |
| Junction Temperature Range | −65°C to +150°C - enables operation in automotive under-hood or industrial environments |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23 (TO-236) surface-mount plastic package, 2.90 mm × 1.30 mm × 1.00 mm body size, void-free thermosetting case, corrosion-resistant finish, UL 94 V-0 flammability rating, cathode indicated by polarity band.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Anode | Connected to lower-potential node in reverse-bias configuration; must be held at voltage ≤ VZ relative to cathode for regulation |
| Pin 2 | No Connection | Internally unconnected; no PCB trace or pad required; electrically isolated |
| Pin 3 | Cathode | Connected to higher-potential node; polarity band on package identifies this terminal for correct orientation during assembly |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 225 mW power rating on FR-4/FR-5 board | Enables use in space-constrained consumer portables without forced cooling or heatsinking |
| ESD rating >16 kV (HBM) | Eliminates need for external ESD protection in handheld device front-end circuits |
| Pb-free and RoHS-compliant packaging | Meets global environmental compliance requirements for commercial and industrial end equipment |
| Small SOT-23 footprint | Supports ≥2× higher component density vs. DO-35 or SOD-123 packages in compact PCB designs |
| 150°C maximum junction temperature | Allows reliable operation in sealed enclosures or near heat-generating ICs without thermal throttling |
Applications
| Battery Voltage Monitoring | USB Port Overvoltage Protection |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Monitoring Li-ion battery pack voltage in smart wearables to trigger low-battery alerts or shutdown before deep discharge. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener reference element in comparator input divider network, providing stable 56 V threshold scaled via resistive divider. Use Value: Tight 5% VZ tolerance ensures consistent trip point across production units; low IR minimizes quiescent current drain from battery. |

Use Value: 225 W peak pulse rating absorbs 8×20 μs transients per IEC 61000-4-5; >16 kV HBM rating prevents field failure during handling. |
| Industrial Sensor Signal Conditioning | Automotive Infotainment Power Rail Clamp |
|
Use Scenario: Protecting analog front-end inputs of 24 V industrial pressure sensors from supply rail transients during PLC switching. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision clamp referenced to local ground, limiting sensor output swing to safe levels for downstream ADC input. Use Value: 1300 Ω ZZT ensures minimal loading on sensor output; −65°C to +150°C operating range matches industrial ambient specs. |
Use Scenario: Suppressing load-dump spikes on 12 V infotainment head-unit power rail in vehicles meeting ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary clamp staged after primary TVS, fine-tuning clamping level to protect 56 V-rated DC-DC converter inputs. Use Value: AEC-Q101 qualification (via SZ-prefix variants) validates reliability for automotive use; SOT-23 allows placement near sensitive ICs. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5262ELT1/T3G | 51–53.55 V nominal Zener range (51 V typ), 125 mA IZT, 1100 Ω ZZT | Lower clamping voltage; better suited for 48 V system rails or tighter-tolerance 51 V references | Select when 51 V regulation is required and 56 V overshoot is unacceptable |
| MMBZ5265ELT1G | 58.9–65.1 V nominal Zener range (62 V typ), 2.0 mA IZT, 1400 Ω ZZT | Higher clamping voltage; appropriate for 60 V bus protection or higher-threshold monitoring | Choose for applications needing >56 V standoff, such as 60 V PoE++ or telecom backup supplies |

FAQ
What is the nominal Zener voltage and tolerance of MMBZ5263ELT1?
The MMBZ5263ELT1 has a nominal Zener voltage of 56 V with a tolerance of ±5%, corresponding to a guaranteed range of 53.2 V to 58.8 V at IZT = 2.2 mA and TA = 25°C. This specification is verified per onsemi's Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the August 2024 datasheet revision. The MMBZ5263ELT1 achieves this regulation using silicon Zener breakdown physics, not avalanche mechanisms.
Is MMBZ5263ELT1 suitable for automotive applications?
The MMBZ5263ELT1 itself is not AEC-Q101 qualified; however, its automotive-grade counterpart SZMMBZ5263ELT1G is explicitly listed as AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable in the same datasheet. For automotive use, engineers should specify the SZ-prefix variant. The MMBZ5263ELT1 remains suitable for industrial and consumer applications where AEC-Q101 is not mandated.
What is the thermal resistance and maximum junction temperature of MMBZ5263ELT1?
The MMBZ5263ELT1 has a thermal resistance of 556 °C/W (junction-to-ambient) when mounted on FR-5 board, and its junction temperature range is −65°C to +150°C. These values are specified in the Maximum Ratings table on page 1 of the datasheet. Derating begins above 25°C at 1.8 mW/°C, meaning usable power drops to 135 mW at 80°C ambient.
Does MMBZ5263ELT1 have a no-connect pin, and how is it identified?
Yes, MMBZ5263ELT1 has a no-connect terminal at Pin 2, as confirmed in the Pinout section on pages 2 and 5 of the datasheet and the SOT-23 Style 8 mechanical outline. Pin 1 is Anode, Pin 2 is NC, and Pin 3 is Cathode, with the cathode identified by a polarity band on the package body. This three-terminal configuration is standard across the MMBZ52xxELT1G series.
What is the peak pulse power rating and test condition for MMBZ5263ELT1?
The MMBZ5263ELT1 is rated for 225 W peak pulse power under an 8 × 20 μs current waveform, as stated in the Maximum Ratings table. This rating applies to non-repetitive surges and is validated per Figure 9 in the datasheet. The device uses this capability to absorb transient energy without failure, making it suitable for IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3 surge protection when properly applied.
