Overview
BZT52B2V4-G3-08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a silicon planar Zener diode with nominal zener voltage 2.4 V, ±2 % tolerance, and 5 mA test current, designed for precision voltage regulation and reference in low-power analog circuits such as sensor biasing, power supply feedback, and overvoltage protection in portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the BZT52B2V4-G3-08 datasheet, BZT52B2V4-G3-08 pinout, BZT52B2V4-G3-08 application, or BZT52B2V4-G3-08 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.4 V zener voltage accuracy, 100 Ω dynamic resistance at 5 mA, -9 to -4 ×10⁻⁴/°C temperature coefficient, SOD-123 package thermal performance, and compatibility with automated surface-mount assembly on FR-4 PCBs.
Technical Context
This device operates as a single-element, cathode-marked Zener diode optimized for stable reverse-bias breakdown at 2.4 V under 5 mA test current. Its silicon planar construction ensures tight voltage distribution per E24 standard and supports operation across -55 °C to +150 °C ambient range.
Thermal resistance junction-to-ambient is 420 K/W on FR-4 board with recommended footprint, while junction-to-lead resistance is 250 K/W. Maximum power dissipation is 300 mW on FR-4 and 500 mW at lead level, enabling use in compact, thermally constrained designs without active cooling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 2.35 V min / 2.4 V nom / 2.45 V max at IZT = 5 mA - enables precise 2.4 V reference within ±2 % tolerance for feedback loops and voltage clamping |
| Dynamic Resistance (ZZ) | 100 Ω at IZT = 5 mA - ensures minimal output impedance variation during regulation, critical for stable reference performance |
| Temperature Coefficient (αVZ) | -9 to -4 ×10⁻⁴/°C - indicates negative drift with temperature, requiring compensation in high-stability applications above 45 °C |
| Max Power Dissipation | 300 mW on FR-4 board - defines safe continuous operating limit with standard PCB layout; exceeds 500 mW when leads are heat-sunk |
| Reverse Leakage Current | <1 µA at VR = 1 V - guarantees low standby current in battery-powered systems where quiescent power matters |
| Junction Temperature Range | -55 °C to +150 °C - supports automotive under-hood, industrial control, and extended-temperature embedded deployments |

Applications
| Power Supply Feedback | Sensor Bias Reference |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Regulating output voltage of isolated flyback or buck converter via optocoupler-coupled feedback loop. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Shunt voltage reference providing stable 2.4 V threshold to TL431 or similar error amplifier input. Use Value: Tight ±2 % tolerance reduces output voltage drift across production units, improving system-level power accuracy without calibration. | Use Scenario: Providing excitation voltage to resistive temperature detectors (RTDs) or bridge-based pressure sensors in battery-operated IoT nodes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-current, stable bias source replacing higher-power LDOs to minimize quiescent consumption. Use Value: Sub-1 µA leakage at 1 V reverse bias preserves battery life; SOD-123 footprint allows placement near sensor element for minimal trace parasitics. |
| Overvoltage Clamp | Microcontroller I/O Protection |
Use Scenario: Protecting ADC inputs or communication lines (e.g., UART, I²C) from transient surges exceeding 3.3 V rail. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-acting shunt clamp diverting excess energy to ground before damage occurs. Use Value: 2.4 V breakdown ensures clamping begins well below 3.3 V logic thresholds, preventing latch-up while maintaining signal integrity during normal operation. | Use Scenario: Safeguarding GPIO pins of ARM Cortex-M microcontrollers against ESD events and accidental 5 V misconnection. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary front-end protection element placed directly at connector or header interface. Use Value: AEC-Q101-qualified ESD robustness (>8 kV HBM) provides certified immunity margin beyond IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 requirements. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZT52C2V4-G3-08 | Same SOD-123 package and 2.4 V nominal voltage, but ±5 % tolerance instead of ±2 % | Acceptable where cost sensitivity outweighs regulation precision; less suitable for closed-loop feedback requiring tight setpoint stability | Select when budget constraints dominate and system-level calibration compensates for wider voltage spread |
| MMBZ5222BS-7-F | 2.4 V ±5 %, SOT-23 package, 350 mW PD, 120 Ω ZZ - smaller footprint but higher dynamic resistance and lower power rating | Better suited for ultra-compact layouts; not recommended for sustained >100 mA clamp currents due to thermal limits | Choose for space-constrained designs where 0.6 mm² area saving justifies trade-off in regulation stability and thermal headroom |
Compared with BZT52B2V4-G3-08, BZT52C2V4-G3-08 offers lower cost but sacrifices 2.5× voltage accuracy, while MMBZ5222BS-7-F saves board area yet reduces power handling by 40 % and increases dynamic resistance by 20 % - making BZT52B2V4-G3-08 optimal for precision, thermally stable, and production-ready shunt regulation.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage range for BZT52B2V4-G3-08 at 25 °C?
The BZT52B2V4-G3-08 has a guaranteed zener voltage range of 2.35 V minimum to 2.45 V maximum at 5 mA test current and 25 °C ambient temperature, reflecting its ±2 % tolerance grade per the E24 standard. This specification is measured using 5 ms pulses and applies strictly to the BZT52B2V4-G3-08 variant - not the broader BZT52-G family.
Is BZT52B2V4-G3-08 qualified to AEC-Q101?
No, BZT52B2V4-G3-08 is not AEC-Q101 qualified. The Vishay datasheet states AEC-Q101 qualification is "available (part number on request)" for the BZT52-G series, but the specific ordering code BZT52B2V4-G3-08 carries no AEC-Q101 designation in its marking or ordering table. Engineers requiring automotive qualification must contact Vishay for a dedicated AEC-Q101 variant.
What is the maximum continuous zener current for BZT52B2V4-G3-08 at 45 °C ambient?
At 45 °C ambient temperature, the maximum admissible zener current for BZT52B2V4-G3-08 is 124 mA, as specified in the "Admissible Zener Current" column of the electrical characteristics table. This value assumes electrodes remain at ambient temperature and accounts for derating from the 146 mA limit at 25 °C due to thermal constraints.
Does BZT52B2V4-G3-08 have a defined cathode marking, and how is it oriented on the SOD-123 package?
Yes, BZT52B2V4-G3-08 uses a cathode bar marking on the top surface of the SOD-123 package, consistent with industry-standard polarity identification. The bar aligns with the cathode terminal, which must be connected to the higher-potential node in shunt regulation applications - confirmed by Vishay's orientation diagram showing cathode facing tape sprocket holes in carrier tape.
Can BZT52B2V4-G3-08 be used in place of BZT52C2V4-G3-08 without circuit modification?
Yes, BZT52B2V4-G3-08 is a direct functional replacement for BZT52C2V4-G3-08 in most circuits, sharing identical SOD-123 package, pinout, absolute maximum ratings, and nominal 2.4 V zener voltage. The only difference is tighter ±2 % tolerance versus ±5 %, which improves regulation accuracy without requiring layout or schematic changes.
