Product details
Overview
SZMMSZ5258BT3G from onsemi is a 36 V ±5% Zener diode in SOD−123 package, rated for 500 mW power dissipation on FR−5 board at 75°C, with 70 Ω dynamic impedance at 3.4 mA test current and 0.1 μA leakage at 27 V reverse bias. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in low-power analog signal conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SZMMSZ5258BT3G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±5%), thermal equilibrium specification, AEC−Q101 qualification for automotive use, and Pb−free SOD−123 packaging compatible with automated assembly.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal silicon Zener diode with sharp reverse breakdown at nominal 36 V under thermal equilibrium conditions (TL = 30°C ±1°C). Its 70 Ω Zener impedance at IZT = 3.4 mA and 700 Ω at IZK = 0.25 mA defines regulation stability across load variations.
Designed for surface-mount applications, it features Class 3 ESD rating (>16 kV HBM), −55°C to +150°C junction temperature range, and UL 94 V−0 flammability compliance. The SOD−123 package enables high-density PCB layouts while maintaining 340°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMSZ5258BT3G | Same electrical specs but lacks AEC−Q101 qualification and SZ-prefix automotive traceability | Not approved for automotive production; suitable for industrial/commercial use only | Select when automotive qualification is unnecessary and cost is prioritized |
| SZMMBZ5258ET3G | Same 36 V Zener voltage but in SOT−23 package (higher thermal resistance: 400°C/W vs 340°C/W) | Lower power handling (350 mW vs 500 mW); requires larger copper area for thermal management | Choose only if SOT−23 footprint is mandated and derated power suffices |
Compared with MMSZ5258BT3G and SZMMBZ5258ET3G, SZMMSZ5258BT3G uniquely combines AEC−Q101 qualification, 500 mW SOD−123 power rating, and ±5% tolerance-making it the sole option for automotive-grade 36 V Zener regulation where both reliability and thermal performance are critical.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for SZMMSZ5258BT3G?
The SZMMSZ5258BT3G has a ±5% Zener voltage tolerance, meaning its nominal 36 V breakdown voltage is specified between 34.2 V and 37.8 V at IZT = 3.4 mA under thermal equilibrium conditions (TL = 30°C ±1°C). This tolerance is confirmed in the "5% TOLERANCE FG ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS" table on page 3 of the official onsemi datasheet.
Is SZMMSZ5258BT3G qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SZMMSZ5258BT3G is AEC−Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, as explicitly stated in the "Features" section of the onsemi datasheet. The "SZ" prefix denotes compliance with automotive-specific site and control change requirements, making SZMMSZ5258BT3G suitable for under-hood and chassis-mounted automotive systems.
What is the maximum power dissipation of SZMMSZ5258BT3G on FR−5 board?
SZMMSZ5258BT3G is rated for 500 mW total power dissipation on FR−5 board at a lead temperature (TL) of 75°C, with linear derating of 6.7 mW/°C above that temperature. This value is listed in the "MAXIMUM RATINGS" table on page 1 of the onsemi datasheet and applies to standard PCB layout with minimum recommended footprint.
What package type does SZMMSZ5258BT3G use?
SZMMSZ5258BT3G uses the SOD−123 surface-mount package (Case 425, Style 1), measuring 1.60 × 2.69 × 1.16 mm. The package features a cathode polarity band and is Pb−free, as confirmed in the "Mechanical Characteristics" and "ORDERING INFORMATION" sections of the onsemi datasheet.
What is the Zener impedance of SZMMSZ5258BT3G at its test current?
The dynamic Zener impedance (ZZT) of SZMMSZ5258BT3G is 70 Ω at IZT = 3.4 mA, as specified in the "5% TOLERANCE FG ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS" table on page 3 of the onsemi datasheet. This value reflects AC impedance measured with IZ(AC) = 0.1 × IZ(DC) at 1 kHz frequency.
