Product details
Overview
MMSZ5259BS-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount Zener diode with a nominal zener voltage of 39 V, ±2.5% tolerance (37.05–40.95 V), 200 mW power dissipation, and 80 Ω zener impedance at 3.2 mA test current. It operates across –65 °C to +150 °C and is used for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in low-power analog signal conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MMSZ5259BS-7-F datasheet, MMSZ5259BS-7-F pinout, MMSZ5259BS-7-F application, or MMSZ5259BS-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include its SOD-323 package footprint, 30 V reverse leakage threshold, 0.9 V forward voltage at 10 mA, and thermal resistance of 625 °C/W - all critical for compact, thermally constrained PCB designs.
Technical Context
This Zener diode employs planar die construction for stable breakdown characteristics and low dynamic impedance. Its 39 V nominal zener voltage is specified at 3.2 mA test current, with maximum zener impedance of 80 Ω measured at 1 kHz and minimum reverse breakdown occurring at 30 V.
The device is optimized for general-purpose voltage reference and clamping in space-constrained applications. Its SOD-323 package supports automated assembly and provides a cathode band polarity indicator, with moisture sensitivity level 1 per J-STD-020D and fully RoHS-compliant, halogen-free construction.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (Nominal) | 39 V - precise DC reference point for regulation or clamping at typical bias conditions |
| Zener Voltage Range | 37.05–40.95 V - ±2.5% tolerance ensures predictable trip or reference behavior in production |
| Test Current (IZT) | 3.2 mA - standardized operating point for verifying zener voltage and impedance specs |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 80 Ω - low dynamic resistance maintains stable voltage under small-signal AC variations |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 200 mW - limits continuous DC power handling on standard FR-4 PCB with recommended pad layout |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.1 µA @ 30 V - negligible off-state current enables high-impedance sensing and low-quiescent circuits |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 0.9 V @ 10 mA - defines conduction threshold when used in bidirectional protection or series bias paths |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOD-323 - ultra-compact surface-mount plastic case (2.3–2.7 mm length, 1.2–1.4 mm width, 0.25–0.35 mm thickness), UL 94V-0 rated, with cathode band marking and matte tin-plated Alloy 42 leadframe.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry terminal in forward bias; connected to lower potential node in zener mode | Accepts forward current up to 10 mA; forms reference ground return path in shunt regulator topologies |
| Cathode | Current exit terminal in forward bias; connected to higher potential node in zener mode | Provides regulated output node; marked by visible band; must be biased above anode by ≥39 V for breakdown |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Planar die construction | Ensures repeatable zener voltage distribution and long-term stability under thermal cycling |
| SOD-323 package | Enables 0.65 mm² board area usage and compatibility with fine-pitch reflow processes |
| Lead-free & RoHS compliant | Meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU without exemptions; suitable for consumer and industrial end-equipment |
| Halogen- and antimony-free | Contains <900 ppm Br, <900 ppm Cl, <1000 ppm Sb - satisfies green manufacturing and disposal requirements |
| Moisture sensitivity Level 1 | No dry-pack or baking required before assembly - reduces manufacturing overhead and handling risk |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX584-C39 | Same 39 V nominal rating, but SOD-523 package (smaller footprint); 300 mW PD; 90 Ω ZZT | Higher power handling suits intermittent surge clamping; smaller size increases placement density but reduces thermal mass | Select when board space is critical and transient energy exceeds 200 mW capability |
| MMBZ5259BS | Identical electrical specs and SOD-323 package, but dual-diode configuration (common-cathode pair) | Enables bidirectional clamping or dual-rail referencing in same footprint; adds 0.2 mm height and 0.001 g weight | Select when dual-channel protection or matched-pair referencing is required without increasing layout area |
Compared with BZX584-C39 and MMBZ5259BS, MMSZ5259BS-7-F offers optimal balance of thermal performance (625 °C/W), industry-standard SOD-323 compatibility, and lowest cost per unit in tape-and-reel packaging - making it preferred for single-rail, cost-sensitive, high-volume regulation tasks.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage before breakdown for MMSZ5259BS-7-F?
The device exhibits sharp reverse breakdown starting at 37.05 V (minimum zener voltage) and is fully regulated between 37.05 V and 40.95 V at 3.2 mA test current. At 30 V reverse bias, leakage remains ≤0.1 µA - confirming no significant conduction below the specified range.
Can MMSZ5259BS-7-F be used in place of a 36 V Zener diode?
No - its nominal zener voltage is 39 V with a guaranteed range of 37.05–40.95 V. Substituting it for a 36 V part (e.g., MMSZ5258BS) would raise the regulation or clamping threshold by ≥1.05 V, potentially violating circuit safety margins or reference accuracy requirements.
Is thermal derating required for operation above 25°C ambient?
Yes - power dissipation must be linearly derated above 25°C using the 625 °C/W thermal resistance. For example, at 75°C ambient, maximum allowable power drops to 100 mW (200 mW × [1 − (75−25)/625]). Derating follows the curve in Figure 1 of DS31038 Rev. 13-2.
Does MMSZ5259BS-7-F have a specified temperature coefficient?
No - the datasheet does not list a temperature coefficient (tempco) value. However, typical zener diodes in this voltage range (≥30 V) exhibit positive tempco (~0.05 %/°C), meaning zener voltage increases slightly with temperature - a behavior confirmed by Figure 2's upward curvature in breakdown region.
