Product details
Overview
MMSZ5239C-E3-08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a silicon planar Zener diode with a nominal Zener voltage of 9.1 V, ±2 % tolerance, 7 Ω dynamic resistance at 20 mA test current, and 500 mW maximum power dissipation on FR-4 board - used for precision voltage regulation and reference in low-power analog circuits, sensor biasing, and overvoltage protection.
For engineers reviewing the MMSZ5239C-E3-08 datasheet, MMSZ5239C-E3-08 pinout, MMSZ5239C-E3-08 application, or MMSZ5239C-E3-08 equivalent, this part delivers tight voltage tolerance, low dynamic impedance, and AEC-Q101-qualified variants for automotive-grade designs requiring stable 9.1 V references under thermal stress and ESD exposure.
Technical Context
This device operates as a single-element, cathode-marked Zener diode in reverse-biased breakdown mode, with thermal equilibrium-based VZ specification and a temperature coefficient of +0.060 %/°C - indicating positive drift with rising junction temperature. Its SOD-123 package supports surface-mount assembly with JEDEC-compliant soldering profiles up to 260 °C peak.
Designed for low-current regulation (IZT = 20 mA), it exhibits 3 μA reverse leakage at 7 V and maintains 10 Ω dynamic resistance at IZT2, enabling stable reference performance in battery-powered and space-constrained applications where thermal resistance junction-to-ambient (420 K/W) and junction-to-lead (250 K/W) are critical layout considerations.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX584C9V1 | Same 9.1 V ±2 %, but SOD-323 package (smaller footprint, higher RthJA = 500 K/W) | Preferred for ultra-dense layouts; less thermal margin at full power | Select BZX584C9V1 only if board space is constrained and power dissipation remains ≤150 mW |
| MMSZ5239B-E3-08 | Identical package and electrical specs except ±5 % VZ tolerance | Suitable for non-critical biasing where cost sensitivity outweighs precision needs | Choose MMSZ5239B-E3-08 when ±5 % tolerance is acceptable and BOM cost reduction is prioritized |
Compared with BZX584C9V1 and MMSZ5239B-E3-08, the MMSZ5239C-E3-08 uniquely balances ±2 % precision, SOD-123 thermal performance (300 mW @ 420 K/W), and broad automotive qualification availability - making it optimal for mid-volume industrial and automotive designs demanding verified accuracy and reliability.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage and tolerance of the MMSZ5239C-E3-08?
The MMSZ5239C-E3-08 has a nominal Zener voltage of 9.1 V with a tight ±2 % tolerance, specified at 20 mA test current under thermal equilibrium conditions. This tolerance is confirmed in Vishay's official datasheet revision 1.1 (July 2023) and enables high-accuracy voltage referencing without post-manufacturing calibration for the MMSZ5239C-E3-08.
What package type does the MMSZ5239C-E3-08 use, and what are its key mechanical dimensions?
The MMSZ5239C-E3-08 uses the SOD-123 surface-mount package: 2.7 mm ±0.15 mm length, 3.7 mm ±0.15 mm width, 0.12 mm ±0.03 mm thickness, with 1.55 mm ±0.15 mm lead pitch and cathode bar marking. These dimensions are standardized per Vishay's package drawing S8-V-3910.01-003 and ensure compatibility with automated assembly processes for the MMSZ5239C-E3-08.
Does the MMSZ5239C-E3-08 meet automotive qualification standards?
The base MMSZ5239C-E3-08 is RoHS-compliant and commercial-grade; however, the AEC-Q101-qualified variant is MMSZ5239C-HE3_A-08. That version shares identical electrical specs but adds automotive reliability validation including ESD >8 kV HBM, temperature cycling, and humidity testing - confirming suitability for automotive applications when using the HE3_A suffix for the MMSZ5239C-E3-08 family.
What is the maximum power dissipation of the MMSZ5239C-E3-08 on a standard FR-4 PCB?
The MMSZ5239C-E3-08 has a maximum power dissipation of 300 mW when mounted on an FR-4 board with Vishay's recommended soldering footprint, as defined in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This value assumes convection cooling and accounts for thermal resistance junction-to-ambient of 420 K/W - a critical derating factor for sustained operation of the MMSZ5239C-E3-08 in real-world layouts.
How does the temperature coefficient affect the MMSZ5239C-E3-08's performance across operating temperature?
The MMSZ5239C-E3-08 has a temperature coefficient of +0.060 %/°C, meaning its Zener voltage increases by approximately 5.5 mV per °C rise above 25 °C. This predictable positive drift allows designers to compensate for thermal effects in precision references - a documented characteristic in the Electrical Characteristics table that directly impacts long-term stability of the MMSZ5239C-E3-08 in varying ambient conditions.
