Product details
Overview
ZMM5262B-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 51 V, ±5% tolerance, 500 mW surface-mount Zener diode in MiniMELF (DO-213AA) glass package, optimized for voltage regulation and reference applications in power supply feedback loops, overvoltage protection circuits, and precision biasing networks operating up to +175°C ambient.
For engineers reviewing the ZMM5262B-7 datasheet, ZMM5262B-7 pinout, ZMM5262B-7 application, or ZMM5262B-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.5 mA zener test current, 125 Ω maximum zener impedance at IZT, +0.096 %/°C temperature coefficient, 0.1 µA maximum reverse leakage at rated voltage, and MiniMELF thermal resistance of 300 °C/W - all critical for stable low-power voltage reference design.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with a nominal zener voltage of 51 V at 2.5 mA test current, exhibiting a positive temperature coefficient (+0.096 %/°C) that ensures predictable drift across industrial temperature ranges. Its 500 mW power rating is derated linearly above 50°C ambient per the published PD vs TA curve.
The device uses a hermetically sealed glass MiniMELF package with Sn97.5Ag2.5 terminations, enabling high-temperature solderability and moisture resistance (J-STD-020C Level 1). Junction capacitance is ~2.5 pF at 0 V bias, supporting moderate-frequency regulation without significant phase shift.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 51 V nominal, 48.45–53.55 V range at IZT = 2.5 mA - defines regulation setpoint with ±5% initial tolerance. |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 1100 Ω max at IZT = 2.5 mA - limits output voltage variation under load transients. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.1 µA max at VR = 39 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in high-impedance reference paths. |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 500 mW at TA = 25°C, derated to zero at 150°C - sets maximum continuous dissipation in PCB-mounted operation. |
| Temp. Coefficient (αVZ) | +0.096 %/°C - enables predictable, monotonic VZ increase with junction temperature for thermal compensation. |
| Package | MiniMELF (DO-213AA), 3.3–3.7 mm length × 1.3–1.6 mm diameter - supports automated placement and high thermal reliability in compact layouts. |
Pinout & Package
MiniMELF package: cylindrical glass body with axial cathode band marking; two terminals - anode (unmarked end) and cathode (band-marked end). No internal leads; terminals are metallized ends of the semiconductor die.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Reference ground node in shunt regulator configuration | Connected to system ground or lowest potential point; carries full load current when regulating. |
| Cathode | Regulated output node in shunt regulator configuration | Connected to input rail via current-limiting resistor; maintains stable 51 V relative to anode. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hermetic glass encapsulation | Enables operation up to +175°C junction temperature and eliminates moisture-induced parameter drift. |
| RoHS-compliant Sn97.5Ag2.5 termination | Supports lead-free reflow profiles (up to 260°C peak) without solder joint degradation or dewetting. |
| Low reverse leakage (0.1 µA @ 39 V) | Minimizes error in high-impedance voltage divider or op-amp reference circuits. |
| Stable +0.096 %/°C tempco | Allows predictable thermal compensation in precision analog systems without external circuitry. |
Applications
| Switch-Mode Power Supply Feedback | Industrial Sensor Biasing |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMSZ5262T1G | Same 51 V rating but SOD-123 plastic package; 350 mW PD; 150 Ω ZZT; +0.096 %/°C tempco. | Lower thermal resistance (250 °C/W) but reduced max Tj (150°C); unsuitable for >125°C ambient. | Select for cost-sensitive, space-constrained PCBs where full industrial temperature range is not required. |
| BZX55C51 | 51 V, ±5%, DO-35 glass package; 500 mW; 130 Ω ZZT; +0.09 %/°C; 0.1 µA IR. | Larger DO-35 footprint; higher mechanical robustness but lower placement density than MiniMELF. | Select when legacy through-hole compatibility or manual repairability is prioritized over automated assembly efficiency. |
Compared with ZMM5262B-7, MMSZ5262T1G offers better zener impedance and smaller footprint but sacrifices high-temperature capability, while BZX55C51 retains identical thermal performance but requires larger board area and lacks RoHS-compliant terminations.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation for ZMM5262B-7 at 70°C ambient?
At 70°C ambient, ZMM5262B-7's power dissipation must be derated linearly from 500 mW at 25°C using its 300 °C/W thermal resistance. The allowable PD is 500 mW × (1 − (70 − 25)/150) = 350 mW, verified by the published PD vs TA curve on page 1 of DS30024 Rev. 5.
Is ZMM5262B-7 suitable for use in reflow soldering processes?
Yes - ZMM5262B-7 features Sn97.5Ag2.5 terminations qualified per MIL-STD-202, Method 208, and supports standard lead-free reflow profiles with peak temperatures up to 260°C, as confirmed in the "Terminals" section of the datasheet.
How does the +0.096 %/°C temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy over −40°C to +125°C?
Across −40°C to +125°C, the zener voltage shifts by +0.096 %/°C × 165°C = +15.84%, or approximately +8.1 V from 51 V nominal. This drift is predictable and can be compensated in closed-loop systems, but makes it unsuitable for standalone precision references without calibration.
Why is ZMM5262B-7 marked as "Not Recommended for New Design"?
Diodes Incorporated recommends MMSZ52xx series as replacements due to improved manufacturability, tighter ZZT distribution, and better SMT placement yield - not due to performance deficiency. ZMM5262B-7 remains fully functional and supported for existing designs and legacy repairs.
