Product details
Overview
MMSZ5258B-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a 36 V, ±5% tolerance, 500 mW surface-mount Zener diode in SOD123 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-F datasheet, MMSZ5258B-7-F pinout, MMSZ5258B-7-F application, or MMSZ5258B-7-F equivalent, this device serves as a stable, AEC-Q101-qualified voltage clamp in power supply feedback paths, sensor biasing networks, and overvoltage protection stages where tight Zener voltage control and low leakage (<0.1 µA at 27 V) are required.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with a nominal Zener voltage of 36 V (34.2–37.8 V range), exhibiting a positive temperature coefficient of +0.09 %/°C per Figure 6 - enabling predictable drift compensation in temperature-stable references. Its 70 Ω impedance at IZT = 3.4 mA ensures minimal regulation error under varying load conditions.
Rated for 500 mW dissipation at TL = +75°C and 370 mW at TA = +25°C, it relies on FR-4 PCB thermal design with 1-inch copper pad (RθJA = 338 °C/W). The SOD123 package supports automated placement and reflow, with matte tin-plated Alloy 42 leads and cathode band polarity marking.
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 level in shunt regulator designs |
| Power Dissipation | 370 mW @ TA = +25°C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling on standard PCB layout |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 70 Ω @ f = 1 kHz, IZT = 3.4 mA - determines AC regulation stability and ripple rejection capability |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤0.1 µA @ VR = 27 V - ensures negligible current draw in standby or high-impedance bias networks |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 338 °C/W - quantifies junction-to-ambient temperature rise per watt, critical for thermal derating above +25°C |
| Operating Temperature | −65 to +150 °C - supports industrial and automotive under-hood applications without derating |
Pinout & Package
Two-terminal device in SOD123 plastic package (JEDEC DO-213AC); cathode identified by black band. Dimensions: L = 0.30 mm (lead length), D = 1.55 mm (body width), E = 2.65 mm (body length), He = 3.65 mm (height).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / Zener cathode reference node | Connected to lower-potential side in shunt regulation; forms return path for Zener current |
| Cathode | Reverse-biased Zener terminal / regulated output node | Connected to regulated voltage rail; clamps voltage when reverse current exceeds threshold |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive electronics use with extended temperature cycling and humidity testing |
| Green molding compound | UL 94V-0 rated, halogen- and antimony-free - meets RoHS 2 and automotive environmental compliance |
| SOD123 footprint | Compatible with industry-standard 0805-sized land pattern - enables drop-in replacement in space-constrained layouts |
| Low leakage at 27 V | ≤0.1 µA reverse current - preserves accuracy in high-impedance voltage divider or reference buffer circuits |
Applications
| Power Supply Feedback | Sensor Biasing |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Stabilizing output voltage in isolated flyback or buck-derived auxiliary supplies via optocoupler-coupled feedback loop. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener reference element setting precise feedback threshold for TL431 or similar shunt regulators. Use Value: Tight 36 V tolerance (±5%) and low 70 Ω impedance ensure <±1% output regulation across line/load variations. |
Use Scenario: Providing stable excitation voltage to resistive temperature detectors (RTDs) or bridge-based pressure sensors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-drift voltage reference source for ratiometric measurement front-ends. Use Value: +0.09 %/°C tempco enables predictable offset correction; sub-0.1 µA leakage avoids sensor loading errors. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Reference element in RC-delayed reset generator with hysteresis. Use Value: Stable 36 V Zener allows accurate scaling to 3.3 V threshold via resistor divider; −65 to +150 °C range covers full MCU operating envelope. |
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 (Nexperia) | Same 36 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, but 300 mW rating and SOD323 package | Lower power handling limits use in >10 mA shunt applications; smaller footprint reduces thermal mass | Select when board space is constrained and power dissipation remains ≤250 mW |
| MMBZ5258BLT1G (ON Semiconductor) | Identical 36 V rating and SOD123 package, but rated 350 mW @ TA = +25°C and higher 100 Ω ZZT | Higher impedance degrades ripple rejection; lower power rating requires tighter thermal design | Prefer only if legacy BOM alignment outweighs regulation performance trade-offs |
Compared with BZX584-C36 and MMBZ5258BLT1G, MMSZ5258B-7-F delivers superior thermal robustness (370 mW vs. ≤350 mW), lower dynamic impedance (70 Ω vs. ≥100 Ω), and AEC-Q101 qualification - making it optimal for automotive and industrial systems demanding long-term voltage stability under thermal stress.

FAQ
What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation for MMSZ5258B-7-F at +75°C ambient?
The device is rated for 500 mW power dissipation at lead temperature (TL) = +75°C, as specified in the Maximum Ratings table. This assumes proper thermal coupling to a heatsink or large copper plane; on standard FR-4 with 1-inch pad, derating begins above +25°C per Figure 1's 338 °C/W RθJA.
Does MMSZ5258B-7-F have automotive qualification?
Yes - it is explicitly qualified to AEC-Q101 standards for high-reliability automotive applications, as confirmed in the Features section of DS18010 Rev. 28-2. This includes stress testing for temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical shock per automotive-grade requirements.
How does the temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy over −40°C to +125°C?
Per Figure 6, MMSZ5258B exhibits +0.09 %/°C temperature coefficient. Over a 165°C span, this yields ~14.9 mV/°C × 165°C ≈ ±1.49 V total drift - or ±4.1% of 36 V nominal. For precision applications, this must be compensated via circuit design or paired with negative-coefficient devices.
Can MMSZ5258B-7-F replace MMSZ5257B in a 33 V reference design?
No - MMSZ5257B is rated 33 V (31.35–34.65 V), while MMSZ5258B is 36 V (34.2–37.8 V). Substituting increases regulated voltage by ~9%, potentially exceeding downstream IC absolute maximum ratings. Use only if circuit tolerances accommodate the +3 V shift and impedance change (58 Ω → 70 Ω).
