Product details
Overview
MMSZ5258CT1G from onsemi is a 36 V ±2% tolerance Zener diode in SOD−123 package, rated for 500 mW power dissipation on FR−5 board at 75°C, with 3.4 mA test current (IZT), 70 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT), and 0.1 μA reverse leakage at 27 V (VR). It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in low-power analog and power management circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MMSZ5258CT1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its tight 2% Zener voltage tolerance, thermal equilibrium–specified VZ, low leakage at rated VR, SOD−123 footprint compatibility, and AEC−Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
The MMSZ5258CT1G operates as a two-terminal silicon Zener diode, conducting in reverse breakdown to maintain stable voltage across its terminals when biased above its nominal 36 V Zener voltage. Its junction temperature range spans −55°C to +150°C, and it achieves thermal equilibrium–calibrated VZ measurement at TL = 30°C ±1°C.
It exhibits a typical temperature coefficient of +30 mV/°C near 36 V, requires 3.4 mA IZT for specification compliance, and delivers 700 Ω maximum Zener impedance at knee current (ZZK) with 0.25 mA IZK - confirming stable regulation under light-load and transient conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 35.28 V min / 36 V nom / 36.72 V max @ IZT = 3.4 mA - ensures precise 36 V regulation with ±2% tolerance for reference stability. |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 500 mW on FR−5 board @ TL = 75°C - defines maximum continuous power handling before thermal derating begins. |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 70 Ω max @ IZT = 3.4 mA - indicates low AC impedance for minimal output voltage variation under dynamic load changes. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.1 μA max @ VR = 27 V - confirms minimal standby current in clamping or reference applications below breakdown. |
| Junction Temp Range | −55°C to +150°C - supports operation in extended industrial and automotive under-hood environments. |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV) HBM - enables robust handling during automated assembly without special ESD controls. |
| Package | SOD−123 (1.60 × 2.69 × 1.16 mm) - surface-mount, Pb−free, void-free thermoset plastic case compatible with standard reflow profiles. |
Pinout & Package
SOD−123 package: 2-lead surface-mount device with cathode indicated by polarity band; lead-free, UL 94 V−0 rated, maximum soldering temperature 260°C for 10 seconds.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Banded End) | Cathode | Connected to regulated output node; reverse-biased terminal where Zener breakdown occurs. |
| 2 (Non-banded End) | Anode | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; completes bias path for reverse conduction. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ±2% Zener Voltage Tolerance | Enables high-accuracy voltage references without post-production trimming in sensor signal conditioning or ADC bias networks. |
| 500 mW Power Rating | Supports sustained clamping in 3.3 V/5 V/12 V rail protection circuits without thermal runaway on standard PCBs. |
| Low 0.1 μA Leakage @ 27 V | Minimizes quiescent current draw in battery-powered voltage monitors and always-on supervisor circuits. |
| AEC−Q101 Qualified | Validated for automotive applications including body control modules and infotainment power rails requiring long-term reliability. |
| ESD Class 3 (HBM >16 kV) | Reduces risk of field failure due to handling-induced damage during SMT assembly or end-equipment service. |
Applications
| Industrial Sensor Reference | Automotive Power Rail Clamp |
|---|---|

Use Value: ±2% tolerance eliminates need for calibration trimmers, enabling single-BOM production across global manufacturing sites. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C36LT1G | Same 36 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, SOT−23 package (larger footprint, higher RJA = 350°C/W). | Higher thermal resistance limits continuous power to ~350 mW on FR−4; less suitable for sustained 3.4 mA IZT operation. | Select when SOT−23 is already standardized in design and ±5% tolerance is acceptable. |
| MMSZ5258BT1G | Identical 36 V nominal, but ±5% tolerance (34.2–37.8 V), same SOD−123 package and electrical specs otherwise. | Wider VZ spread increases uncertainty in precision reference use cases; identical thermal and leakage performance. | Choose only for cost-sensitive non-critical clamping where tighter tolerance is unnecessary. |
Compared with MMSZ5258CT1G, BZX84-C36LT1G offers SOT−23 compatibility but sacrifices power handling and tolerance; MMSZ5258BT1G matches form-factor and thermal behavior but trades ±2% accuracy for lower unit cost in non-precision roles.

FAQ
What is the nominal Zener voltage and tolerance of MMSZ5258CT1G?
The MMSZ5258CT1G has a nominal Zener voltage of 36 V with a tight ±2% tolerance, meaning its specified range is 35.28 V to 36.72 V when measured at IZT = 3.4 mA and thermal equilibrium (TL = 30°C ±1°C). This tolerance is confirmed in the "2% TOLERANCE FG ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS" table on page 4 of the official onsemi datasheet for MMSZ5258CT1G.
What package type and dimensions does MMSZ5258CT1G use?
MMSZ5258CT1G uses the SOD−123 surface-mount package (case 425, style 1), measuring 1.60 mm × 2.69 mm × 1.16 mm. It features a cathode band marking, Pb−free construction, UL 94 V−0 flammability rating, and is qualified for reflow soldering at 260°C for 10 seconds - all verified in the Mechanical Characteristics section of the onsemi MMSZ5258CT1G datasheet.
How much power can MMSZ5258CT1G dissipate continuously?
MMSZ5258CT1G is rated for 500 mW total power dissipation on an FR−5 board at a lead temperature (TL) of 75°C. Above 75°C, it derates linearly at 6.7 mW/°C, reaching zero dissipation at approximately 148°C. This rating is defined in the Maximum Ratings table (page 2) and validated via infrared scan method per onsemi's MMSZ5258CT1G datasheet.
What is the Zener impedance and test condition for MMSZ5258CT1G?
The MMSZ5258CT1G has a maximum Zener impedance (ZZT) of 70 Ω, measured at IZT = 3.4 mA with an AC test signal of IZ(AC) = 0.1 × IZ(DC) at 1 kHz frequency. This low dynamic impedance ensures minimal voltage variation under changing load currents - a key parameter documented in the "2% TOLERANCE FG ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS" table (page 4) of the official MMSZ5258CT1G datasheet.
Is MMSZ5258CT1G qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, MMSZ5258CT1G is AEC−Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, as explicitly stated in the Features section of the onsemi datasheet. It meets automotive reliability requirements for temperature cycling, humidity testing, and mechanical shock - making it suitable for use in body control modules, infotainment systems, and other automotive subsystems where certified component qualification is mandatory.
