Product details
Overview
MMSZ5258BS-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount silicon Zener diode with a nominal zener voltage of 36 V, ±5% tolerance (34.2–37.8 V), 200 mW power dissipation, 70 Ω maximum zener impedance at 3.4 mA test current, and 0.1 µA maximum reverse leakage at 27 V. It is used for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in low-power analog signal conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MMSZ5258BS-7-F datasheet, MMSZ5258BS-7-F pinout, MMSZ5258BS-7-F application, or MMSZ5258BS-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage accuracy, low leakage at rated VR, thermal resistance (625 °C/W), SOD-323 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts, and RoHS-compliant lead-free plating.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable reference voltage under varying load and temperature conditions. Its planar die construction ensures consistent breakdown characteristics and low noise performance across production lots.
The device is characterized at 25 °C with a 3.4 mA test current (IZT), exhibits 70 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT) at IZT and 700 Ω at knee current (ZZK = 0.25 mA), and maintains <0.1 µA reverse leakage (IR) up to 27 V - enabling reliable clamping in low-current bias networks.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX584-C36 | Same 36 V nominal, but ±5% tolerance achieved via tighter binning; 350 mW power rating | Higher PD supports higher-energy transient clamping; larger SOD-523 package requires more board area | Select when >200 mW surge handling is required and SOD-523 footprint is acceptable |
| MMBZ5258ET1G | Identical electrical specs but in SOT-23 package; 350 mW PD; slightly higher ZZT (80 Ω) | SOT-23 offers better thermal dissipation and mechanical robustness in vibration-prone environments | Prefer for automotive under-hood applications where thermal margin and mounting reliability are critical |
Compared with BZX584-C36 and MMBZ5258ET1G, MMSZ5258BS-7-F provides optimal balance of ultra-low leakage, minimal footprint, and process compatibility for high-volume consumer electronics - especially where board space and standby current are constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage (VR) this Zener diode can withstand without significant leakage?
The MMSZ5258BS-7-F specifies a maximum reverse leakage current of 0.1 µA at VR = 27 V. Beyond that, leakage rises nonlinearly; operation above 27 V is not recommended for precision reference use. The absolute maximum rating is 36 V, but sustained bias near that level increases thermal stress and degrades long-term stability.
Can this Zener be used in series to achieve higher reference voltages?
No - the MMSZ5258BS-7-F is not characterized or binned for series-connected operation. Variations in zener voltage tolerance (±5%), temperature coefficient mismatch, and dynamic impedance differences between units cause unpredictable total voltage and poor regulation. Use a single higher-voltage Zener or a dedicated reference IC instead.
Is the SOD-323 package suitable for reflow soldering per J-STD-020?
Yes - the device is rated for moisture sensitivity level 1 and qualified for standard Pb-free reflow profiles (peak 260°C). Its matte tin plating and Alloy 42 leadframe ensure reliable wetting and intermetallic formation. Recommended pad layout is documented in Diodes AP02001.
How does its zener impedance affect regulation accuracy in a 100 µA load application?
With ZZT = 70 Ω at 3.4 mA and rising sharply below 1 mA, the effective impedance at 100 µA is ~500–700 Ω. This causes ~50 mV output shift per 100 µA load change - acceptable for coarse clamping but insufficient for precision references. Add a bypass capacitor or use active regulation for tighter stability.
