MMSZ5256C-E3-08

Vishay Intertech · Zener Diodes · SOD-123

MMSZ5256C-E3-08 from Vishay Intertech, in a SOD-123. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 K passive Cathode, marked by the cathode bar on the package; for MMSZ5256C (30 V nominal Zener, ±2 %, 4.2 mA test current) this terminal goes positive in reverse breakdown.
2 A passive Anode terminal at the end opposite the cathode bar; the datasheet gives a maximum VF of 0.9 V at IF = 10 mA.
