Product details
Overview
MMSZ5258BT3G from onsemi is a 36 V ±5% Zener diode in SOD−123 package, rated for 500 mW power dissipation at 75°C ambient, with 3.4 mA test current (IZT), 70 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT), and 0.1 µA leakage current at 27 V reverse bias - used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in low-power analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MMSZ5258BT3G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal derating behavior, SOD−123 mechanical interface details, and validated alternative parts for voltage regulation design-in.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal silicon Zener diode optimized for stable reverse-biased breakdown at nominal 36 V. Its junction temperature range spans −55°C to +150°C, and it achieves thermal equilibrium under specified test conditions (TL = 30°C ±1°C).
It exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +0.095 %/°C near 36 V, with typical capacitance of 10 pF at 50% VZ bias and forward voltage ≤0.95 V at 10 mA - enabling use in low-noise reference and transient suppression where predictable knee characteristics matter.
Key Specifications

| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 70 Ω @ IZT = 3.4 mA - determines output voltage variation under load current changes |
| Leakage Current (IR) | 0.1 µA @ VR = 27 V - ensures minimal standby current in high-impedance bias networks |
| Junction Temp Range | −55°C to +150°C - supports operation in automotive under-hood and industrial control environments |

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, ±5% tolerance, but SOT-23 package (higher RJA = 450°C/W) | Lower power handling (300 mW) limits use in sustained clamp scenarios | Select when board space is tighter than thermal margin requirements |
| MMSZ5258CT3G | Identical SOD−123 package and 36 V nominal, but ±2% tolerance (tighter spec) | Higher cost; justified only where reference accuracy dominates BOM budget | Select when system-level calibration is impractical and initial VZ tolerance must be <±2% |
Compared with MMSZ5258BT3G, BZX584-C36 trades thermal performance for footprint reduction, while MMSZ5258CT3G improves voltage accuracy at higher unit cost - both require no PCB redesign but differ in thermal management and calibration strategy implications.

FAQ
What is the nominal Zener voltage and tolerance of the MMSZ5258BT3G?
The MMSZ5258BT3G has a nominal Zener voltage of 36 V with a ±5% tolerance, meaning its actual breakdown voltage falls between 34.2 V and 37.8 V when measured at IZT = 3.4 mA and device junction in thermal equilibrium. This tolerance is confirmed in the onsemi datasheet's 5% FG Electrical Characteristics table and applies specifically to the "B" suffix variant.
What is the maximum power dissipation rating for MMSZ5258BT3G and under what conditions?
The MMSZ5258BT3G is rated for 500 mW total power dissipation on an FR−5 board at a lead temperature (TL) of 75°C. Power must be derated linearly above 75°C at 6.7 mW/°C, as defined in the Maximum Ratings table. This rating assumes proper PCB copper area and thermal relief per onsemi's recommended footprint.
Does MMSZ5258BT3G have automotive qualification and what does that mean for reliability?
Yes, the SZ-prefix variant (SZMMSZ5258BT3G) is AEC−Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, but the standard MMSZ5258BT3G is not automotive-qualified. The base part meets industrial reliability standards and shares identical electrical specs, yet lacks the extended stress testing and change control required for automotive deployment.
What is the Zener impedance (ZZT) of MMSZ5258BT3G and why does it matter in circuit design?
The MMSZ5258BT3G has a maximum Zener impedance (ZZT) of 70 Ω at IZT = 3.4 mA. This value quantifies how much the output voltage varies with changes in Zener current - lower ZZT means better regulation stability under varying load or supply conditions, critical for precision reference applications.
Can MMSZ5258BT3G be used in place of MMSZ5258CT3G, and what is the key difference?
No - MMSZ5258BT3G and MMSZ5258CT3G are not interchangeable without design review. Both share identical 36 V nominal voltage and SOD−123 package, but MMSZ5258BT3G has ±5% tolerance while MMSZ5258CT3G has tighter ±2% tolerance. Substituting the "B" for "C" version may cause reference inaccuracy beyond system specifications.
