Product details
Overview
MMSZ5236BT3G from onsemi is a 5% tolerance, 7.5 V nominal Zener diode in SOD−123 surface-mount package, rated for 500 mW power dissipation at 75°C on FR−5 board, with 6 Ω dynamic impedance at 20 mA test current and 0.25 µA leakage at 6 V reverse bias-used for voltage reference, overvoltage protection, and biasing in power management circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MMSZ5236BT3G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal derating behavior, cathode/anode terminal mapping, and direct-fit alternatives for industrial power supply and automotive sensor interface designs.
Technical Context
This device operates as a precision shunt voltage regulator where reverse breakdown occurs at a tightly controlled 7.5 V nominal Zener voltage (±5%) under thermal equilibrium conditions (TL = 30°C ±1°C), with specified test current IZT = 20 mA and minimum knee current IZK = 0.25 mA.
Its 6 Ω Zener impedance (ZZT) at IZT and 500 Ω at IZK (IZK = 0.25 mA) define low-noise regulation performance, while ESD robustness exceeds 16 kV per Human Body Model and junction temperature range spans −55°C to +150°C for harsh-environment deployment.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Nominal Zener Voltage | 7.5 V @ IZT = 20 mA - stable reference point for feedback loops and clamping thresholds |
| Zener Tolerance | ±5% - ensures predictable voltage margin across production lots without trimming |
| Dynamic Impedance | 6 Ω @ IZT - minimizes output voltage variation under load transients |
| Power Dissipation | 500 mW @ TL = 75°C - supports continuous operation in compact PCB layouts with moderate airflow |
| Leakage Current | 0.25 µA @ VR = 6 V - enables low-quiescent-current standby modes in battery-powered systems |
| Thermal Resistance | RJA = 340°C/W - dictates heatsinking requirements when operating near max power |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C7V5LT1G | Same 7.5 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, but SOT-23 package (higher RJA = 375°C/W) and 10 Ω ZZT | Lower power density; less suitable for sustained 20 mA operation without derating | Select when existing SOT-23 footprint must be retained and peak current stays below 15 mA |
| MMSZ5236ET3G | Same SOD−123 package and 7.5 V rating, but ±2% tolerance and 5 Ω ZZT | Tighter regulation required for metrology-grade references or closed-loop feedback | Choose for higher-accuracy applications where cost premium for 2% grade is justified |
Compared with MMSZ5236BT3G, BZX84-C7V5LT1G offers footprint compatibility at the expense of thermal performance and impedance, while MMSZ5236ET3G improves voltage accuracy and dynamic response but requires tighter process control in manufacturing.
