Product details
Overview
MMSZ5236BT1 from ON Semiconductor is a 500 mW, ±5% tolerance Zener diode in SOD−123 package, rated for 7.5 V nominal reverse breakdown voltage at 20 mA test current, with 6 Ω dynamic impedance and 3 µA leakage current at 6 V reverse bias - used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in low-power analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MMSZ5236BT1 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this device serves as a surface-mount, medium-current Zener regulator optimized for thermal equilibrium operation on FR-4/FR-5 PCBs with Class 3 ESD immunity and AEC-Q101 qualification readiness.
Technical Context
The MMSZ5236BT1 operates as a two-terminal silicon junction device where reverse-biased conduction initiates at a tightly controlled Zener voltage (7.13–7.88 V), with specified test conditions at thermal equilibrium (TL = 30°C ±1°C) and 25°C ambient. Its 6 Ω Zener impedance at 20 mA ensures stable regulation under moderate load variation.
Thermal design is constrained by 340°C/W junction-to-ambient resistance and 150°C/W junction-to-lead resistance, requiring board-level thermal management when operating near 500 mW dissipation. The device exhibits a positive temperature coefficient typical of mid-voltage Zeners in this series.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 7.13–7.88 V @ IZT = 20 mA - defines regulated output voltage window under standard test conditions |
| Power Dissipation | 500 mW on FR-5 board @ TL = 75°C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling before derating |
| Zener Impedance | 6 Ω @ IZT = 20 mA - indicates small-signal AC resistance affecting regulation stability under dynamic loads |
| Leakage Current | 3 µA @ VR = 6 V - quantifies off-state conduction loss below breakdown threshold |
| Junction Temp Range | −55°C to +150°C - supports operation in extended industrial and automotive ambient environments |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV HBM) - enables robust handling in automated assembly without special ESD controls |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX584C7V5 | 7.5 V ±5%, 300 mW, SOD-323 package, 15 Ω ZZT | Lower power rating and higher impedance limit use in higher-current regulation | Select when board space is more constrained than power capability |
| MMSZ4689 | 7.5 V ±5%, 500 mW, SOD-123, 10 Ω ZZT, 10 µA IR @ 6 V | Higher leakage reduces accuracy in ultra-low-power sleep modes | Select when legacy BOM compatibility outweighs minor leakage penalty |
Compared with MMSZ5236BT1, BZX584C7V5 offers smaller footprint but reduced power and regulation fidelity, while MMSZ4689 matches power and package but trades 3 µA vs. 10 µA leakage - making MMSZ5236BT1 optimal for precision, medium-current Zener reference designs.

FAQ
What is the nominal Zener voltage of MMSZ5236BT1 and how is it tested?
The nominal Zener voltage of MMSZ5236BT1 is 7.5 V, with a guaranteed range of 7.13 V to 7.88 V at 20 mA test current (IZT). It is measured under thermal equilibrium conditions at lead temperature TL = 30°C ±1°C, not ambient temperature - ensuring reproducible calibration independent of board layout thermal gradients. This specification directly applies to MMSZ5236BT1 and is validated per ON Semiconductor's HBD854/D methodology.
Does MMSZ5236BT1 support automotive applications?
MMSZ5236BT1 itself is not AEC-Q101 qualified, but its SZMMSZ5236BT1G variant is fully qualified and PPAP-capable. The base MMSZ5236BT1 shares identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including 150°C junction rating and Class 3 ESD immunity, making it suitable for pre-qualification prototyping and non-safety-critical automotive subsystems. Designers targeting production automotive use should specify SZMMSZ5236BT1G to ensure compliance documentation traceability.
What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation for MMSZ5236BT1 on a standard PCB?
MMSZ5236BT1 delivers 500 mW maximum power dissipation on FR-5 board at lead temperature TL = 75°C. Above 75°C, power must be linearly derated at 6.7 mW/°C. This rating assumes minimum recommended footprint per ON Semiconductor's SOLDERING FOOTPRINT spec - actual dissipation depends on copper area, layer count, and airflow. The 500 mW limit applies specifically to MMSZ5236BT1 and is confirmed in the "Maximum Ratings" table of its official datasheet.
How does the Zener impedance of MMSZ5236BT1 affect voltage regulation accuracy?
MMSZ5236BT1 has a maximum Zener impedance (ZZT) of 6 Ω at 20 mA, meaning a 1 mA change in Zener current causes ≤6 mV output deviation. This low impedance enables tight regulation under varying load conditions - critical in precision references where <0.1% line/load regulation is required. The value is measured at 1 kHz with 0.1×DC current superimposed, and applies exclusively to MMSZ5236BT1 per its "Electrical Characteristics" table.
Can MMSZ5236BT1 be used in place of older MMSZ5236B variants?
Yes - MMSZ5236BT1 is a direct replacement for legacy MMSZ5236B parts, retaining identical electrical specs, SOD-123 package, and marking (F1). The "T1" suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging (3,000 units/reel), and the "G" in MMSZ5236BT1G indicates Pb-free construction; both share the same die and characterization. No layout or schematic changes are needed when upgrading to MMSZ5236BT1, and all performance data in the datasheet applies to this exact part number.
