Product details
Overview
MMSZ5258B-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 36 V, ±5% tolerance, 500 mW surface-mount Zener diode in SOD-123 package, rated for 3.4 mA test current and 70 Ω dynamic impedance at 1 kHz, used for precision voltage regulation and reference in low-power analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MMSZ5258B-7 datasheet, MMSZ5258B-7 pinout, MMSZ5258B-7 application, or MMSZ5258B-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include nominal Zener voltage (36 V), power dissipation derating above +75°C, reverse leakage ≤0.1 µA at 27 V, thermal resistance (338 °C/W on FR-4), and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable voltage across load variations and supply fluctuations. It delivers 36 V regulation with ±5% tolerance over 25°C, exhibits a positive temperature coefficient (~0.09 %/°C per Figure 6), and maintains <0.1 µA reverse leakage at VR = 27 V.
Designed for medium-current general-purpose regulation, it supports continuous operation up to +150°C junction temperature and derates linearly from 500 mW at TL = +75°C to 370 mW at TA = +25°C. Its SOD-123 package enables automated placement and reflow compatibility.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 36 V nominal, 34.2–37.8 V range at IZT = 3.4 mA - defines regulated output voltage under standard test conditions |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 500 mW at lead temperature TL = +75°C - sets maximum safe continuous power with heatsinking via PCB copper |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 70 Ω at f = 1 kHz, IZT = 3.4 mA - determines AC regulation stability and ripple rejection capability |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤0.1 µA at VR = 27 V - ensures minimal standby current in voltage-reference bias networks |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 338 °C/W on FR-4 with 1-inch² copper pad - quantifies self-heating impact on long-term voltage drift and reliability |
| Operating Temperature | −65°C to +150°C - supports extended-range industrial and automotive under-hood applications |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX584-C36 | Same 36 V nominal, but ±5% tolerance achieved at IZ = 5 mA; ZZT = 90 Ω; SOD-323 package (smaller, higher RθJA) | Higher thermal resistance (450 °C/W) limits power handling in compact layouts | Select for space-constrained PCBs where 370 mW derated power suffices |
| MM3Z36VT1G | 36 V, ±5%, IZT = 5 mA, ZZT = 80 Ω; SOD-323; AEC-Q101 qualified; tighter VZ binning available | Lower test current shifts regulation point; requires updated bias resistor calculation | Prefer for new designs needing tighter lot-to-lot VZ consistency and automotive traceability |
Compared with BZX584-C36 and MM3Z36VT1G, MMSZ5258B-7 offers superior thermal performance on standard FR-4 (338 °C/W vs. ≥450 °C/W), lower leakage at 27 V (0.1 µA vs. 0.5 µA), and proven robustness in high-humidity automotive environments per AEC-Q101 HAST testing.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage that can be safely applied before breakdown?
The MMSZ5258B-7 has a nominal Zener voltage of 36 V with a guaranteed range of 34.2–37.8 V at 3.4 mA. Breakdown begins near the minimum VZ, and operation above 37.8 V risks exceeding power limits unless current is strictly limited by external series resistance to stay within 370 mW at +25°C ambient.
Is this device suitable for use in high-humidity environments like engine compartments?
Yes - the MMSZ5258B-7 is qualified to AEC-Q101, which includes 96-hour Highly Accelerated Stress Test (HAST) at 130°C/85% RH. Its green molding compound and matte tin-plated leads provide verified moisture resistance and corrosion immunity required for under-hood automotive deployment.
How does thermal derating affect its usable power at 105°C ambient?
At TA = +105°C, the device must be derated using the curve in Figure 1. With RθJA = 338 °C/W, allowable power drops to approximately 220 mW. This requires reducing IZ to ~6 mA maximum to avoid exceeding junction temperature limits, assuming no additional heatsinking.
Can it replace older MMSZ5258 without design changes?
Yes - MMSZ5258B-7 is a direct revision of MMSZ5258, with identical electrical specs, SOD-123 package, and marking (M3 code). The "B" suffix denotes improved Green material compliance and AEC-Q101 qualification; no schematic or layout modifications are needed for drop-in replacement.
