Product details
Overview
BZT52B15LP-7B from Diodes Incorporated is a precision surface-mount Zener diode with nominal 15 V breakdown voltage (±2% tolerance), 250 mW power rating, and DFN1006-2 (X1) package. It provides stable voltage reference and overvoltage protection in low-power analog circuits, power supply feedback loops, and ESD-clamped I/O interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the BZT52B15LP-7B datasheet, BZT52B15LP-7B pinout, BZT52B15LP-7B application, or BZT52B15LP-7B equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage accuracy, dynamic impedance at 5 mA, thermal resistance (500 °C/W), reverse leakage at 12 V, and RoHS-compliant lead-free terminations.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference diode, conducting in reverse bias above its specified zener voltage (14.7–15.3 V at 5 mA). Its low 15 Ω zener impedance at test current ensures minimal regulation error under load variation.
Designed for automated SMT assembly, it uses NiPdAu-plated copper leads and meets J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity. The DFN1006-2 footprint supports high-density PCB layouts while maintaining thermal performance up to +150 °C junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 15.0 V nominal, 14.7–15.3 V range at 5 mA - enables precise 15 V rail clamping or reference generation |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 250 mW at TA = 25 °C - limits continuous dissipation without heatsinking in compact designs |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 15 Ω at 5 mA - ensures tight regulation under varying load currents |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.05 µA max at 12 V - minimizes standby current in battery-powered sensing nodes |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 500 °C/W - defines junction-to-ambient temperature rise per watt dissipated on standard FR-4 |
| Capacitance (CT) | 100 pF at 0 V, 1 MHz - impacts high-frequency noise filtering and signal integrity in RF-adjacent paths |
Pinout & Package
Package: X1-DFN1006-2 (1.0 mm × 0.6 mm, 0.5 mm height), leadless, cathode-bar marked on top surface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / low-side connection | Connected to ground or lower potential node during zener operation; carries forward current up to 10 mA |
| Cathode | Reverse-bias voltage reference terminal | Connected to regulated rail or protected signal line; sustains 15 V reverse breakdown with ±2% tolerance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Tight voltage tolerance | ±2% zener voltage accuracy at 5 mA - reduces calibration overhead in precision analog front-ends |
| Lead-free & green construction | Halogen- and antimony-free molding compound (<900 ppm Br/Cl, <1000 ppm Sb) - satisfies strict environmental compliance for medical and automotive end equipment |
| Low-profile DFN package | 0.5 mm max height, 1.0 × 0.6 mm footprint - enables placement beneath connectors or in space-constrained IoT sensor modules |
| Automated assembly compatibility | J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity and NiPdAu terminations - eliminates pre-bake requirements and ensures reliable reflow soldering yield |
Applications
| Power Supply Feedback | ESD-Protected I/O Clamping |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5245BS-7-F | Same 15 V nominal, ±5% tolerance (vs. ±2%), SOD-523 package, 200 mW rating | Higher voltage drift reduces accuracy in precision references; smaller package limits thermal margin | Select only if cost sensitivity outweighs regulation stability and thermal robustness |
| BZX84-C15-7-F | 15 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, SOT-23 package, 300 mW rating, higher ZZT (30 Ω) | Lower accuracy and higher impedance degrade regulation in feedback loops; larger footprint consumes more board area | Prefer where higher power handling is needed and ±5% tolerance is acceptable |
Compared with MMBZ5245BS-7-F and BZX84-C15-7-F, the BZT52B15LP-7B delivers superior voltage accuracy and lower dynamic impedance in a smaller, thermally optimized DFN package-making it optimal for space-constrained, precision-regulated systems requiring long-term stability.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage this Zener diode can withstand before breakdown?
The BZT52B15LP-7B has a nominal zener voltage of 15.0 V with a guaranteed range of 14.7–15.3 V at 5 mA test current. It begins controlled reverse conduction within this band and is not rated for sustained operation above 15.3 V without exceeding power limits or risking parametric shift.
Does this part require a heatsink in typical PCB applications?
No heatsink is required. With a thermal resistance of 500 °C/W and a 250 mW power rating, the junction temperature rise remains within safe limits (≤125 °C) on standard FR-4 boards using Diodes' recommended pad layout-even at full rated power and 25 °C ambient.
How does the cathode bar marking align with the DFN1006-2 package outline?
The cathode is marked by a visible bar on the top surface of the DFN1006-2 package, aligned with the terminal on the right side when viewing the marking side with the bar oriented horizontally. Pin 1 (cathode) corresponds to the right pad in the bottom-view schematic per DS36252 Rev. 1–2.
Is this Zener diode suitable for use in automotive-grade designs?
Yes - it operates across –65 °C to +150 °C, is AEC-Q200 stress-tested per Diodes Incorporated's qualification program, and features halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction. However, final automotive qualification requires system-level validation per OEM requirements.
