Product details
Overview
MMSZ5263B-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a 500mW surface-mount Zener diode with a nominal zener voltage of 56V (53.2–58.8V range), 2.2mA test current, and 150Ω dynamic impedance at test conditions; it operates from –65°C to +150°C and is AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive power rail regulation and overvoltage clamping in DC-DC feedback networks.
For engineers reviewing the MMSZ5263B-7-F datasheet, MMSZ5263B-7-F pinout, MMSZ5263B-7-F application, or MMSZ5263B-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance (RθJA = 350°C/W), SOD-123 package compatibility, reverse leakage (<0.1μA @ 43V), and AEC-Q101 qualification status for under-hood electronics.
Technical Context
This Zener diode functions as a precision voltage reference and overvoltage clamp in low-power analog and power management circuits. Its planar die construction ensures stable breakdown characteristics, while the SOD-123 package supports automated placement and meets RoHS, halogen-free, and AEC-Q101 reliability requirements.
The device exhibits a typical zener voltage of 56V at IZT = 2.2mA, with maximum dynamic impedance of 150Ω at that current and 1300Ω at knee current (IZK = 0.25mA). Thermal derating begins at TA = 75°C, reducing power dissipation linearly to zero at 150°C ambient.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX584C56LT1G | Same 56V nominal, but ±5% tolerance and 300mW rating; SOD-523 package | Lower power handling limits use in >2.2mA bias networks; smaller footprint reduces board area | Select when space-constrained and thermal load is <300mW |
| MM3Z56VT1G | 56V nominal, ±5%, 200mW rating; SOD-323 package; higher ZZT (300Ω) | Not suitable for high-accuracy references due to higher impedance and lower power margin | Choose only for non-critical clamping where cost and size outweigh regulation precision |
Compared with BZX584C56LT1G and MM3Z56VT1G, the MMSZ5263B-7-F delivers higher power margin (500mW), lower dynamic impedance (150Ω), and AEC-Q101 qualification-making it preferred for automotive and industrial feedback loops requiring long-term stability and thermal robustness.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage this Zener can withstand before breakdown?
The MMSZ5263B-7-F has a nominal zener voltage of 56V with a guaranteed range of 53.2V to 58.8V at IZT = 2.2mA. It does not specify a distinct "maximum reverse voltage" beyond its breakdown region; operation above 58.8V at rated current remains within specification but increases power dissipation and thermal stress.
Is this part suitable for use in a 12V automotive system's overvoltage protection circuit?
Yes - the MMSZ5263B-7-F is AEC-Q101 qualified and rated for –65°C to +150°C operation. In a 12V system, it serves as a secondary clamp (e.g., protecting against load dump transients up to 60V), provided series current limiting and thermal design accommodate its 500mW dissipation limit.
Does the SOD-123 package support hand-soldering during prototyping?
Yes - the SOD-123 package is compatible with hand-soldering using fine-tip irons and flux; its 1.4–1.7mm width and cathode band allow visual polarity identification. However, reflow profile adherence is recommended for production to ensure matte tin plating integrity and void-free joints.
How does the 150Ω zener impedance affect regulation accuracy in a feedback divider?
A 150Ω dynamic impedance introduces voltage error proportional to current variation through the Zener. In a feedback divider drawing 2.2mA, a ±0.5mA load shift causes ~75mV error - acceptable for ±1% output regulation but insufficient for sub-0.5% precision without additional buffering or compensation.
