Product details
Overview
MMSZ5258BQ-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is an AEC-Q101-qualified 36 V, ±5% tolerance Zener diode in SOD123 package, rated for 500 mW power dissipation at TL = +75°C and 370 mW at TA = +25°C, with 70 Ω zener impedance at 3.4 mA test current and 0.1 µA reverse leakage at 27 V, used for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in automotive power rails.
For engineers reviewing the MMSZ5258BQ-7-F datasheet, MMSZ5258BQ-7-F pinout, MMSZ5258BQ-7-F application, or MMSZ5258BQ-7-F equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal derating behavior, automotive qualification status, SOD123 mechanical dimensions, and direct substitution guidance - all grounded in Diodes Incorporated's DS18010 Rev. 28-2.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain a stable 36 V reference across its terminals under controlled current conditions. Its 70 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT = 3.4 mA and temperature coefficient of +0.09 %/°C (per Figure 6) indicate moderate voltage stability over temperature, suitable for non-critical biasing and clamping.
The device uses a silicon planar epitaxial construction with cathode band polarity marking, optimized for automated surface-mount assembly on FR-4 PCBs. Thermal resistance junction-to-ambient is 338 °C/W under standard JEDEC layout, requiring careful trace width and copper area planning for sustained 370 mW operation.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation for MMSZ5258BQ-7-F on a standard FR-4 PCB?
The device dissipates up to 370 mW at TA = +25°C when mounted on FR-4 with a 1-inch copper pad layout, per DS18010 Rev. 28-2. Derating begins linearly above +25°C at 3.0 mW/°C, reaching zero at +150°C ambient. This value assumes no forced airflow or heatsinking.
Does MMSZ5258BQ-7-F have a defined temperature coefficient, and how does it affect regulation accuracy?
Yes - Figure 6 in DS18010 shows a typical temperature coefficient of +0.09 %/°C for MMSZ5258B (36 V type). Over a -40°C to +125°C range, this introduces ±1.5% VZ drift relative to nominal, which must be accounted for in precision reference designs but remains acceptable for clamping and coarse regulation.
Can MMSZ5258BQ-7-F replace MMSZ5257B (33 V) or MMSZ5259B (39 V) in existing layouts?
No - while all share the SOD123 package and pinout, the 36 V nominal voltage is fixed by process design. Substituting with 33 V or 39 V types alters regulation thresholds by ±8.3%, potentially violating system overvoltage/undervoltage limits. Only identical voltage grades ensure functional equivalence.
Is the cathode band orientation consistent across all MMSZ52xxB variants, and how is polarity verified during inspection?
Yes - all MMSZ52xxB devices use a single black cathode band at the top edge of the SOD123 case, aligned with the cathode terminal per top-view diagrams in DS18010. Polarity is confirmed visually during AOI inspection and electrically via forward-bias diode test (VF ≈ 0.9 V at 10 mA) between marked cathode and unmarked anode.
