Product details
Overview
BZT52B51 RHG from Taiwan Semiconductor is a surface-mount 51 V ±2% tolerance Zener diode in SOD-123F package, rated for 500 mW power dissipation, with 180 Ω dynamic impedance at 2 mA test current and 0.045 μA reverse leakage at 35.7 V, used for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in low-power analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZT52B51 RHG datasheet, BZT52B51 RHG pinout, BZT52B51 RHG application, or BZT52B51 RHG equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±2%), thermal resistance (350 °C/W), cathode-band polarity marking, moisture sensitivity level 1, and halogen-free green compound compliance per IEC 61249-2-21.
Technical Context
The BZT52B51 RHG operates as a silicon planar junction Zener diode optimized for stable voltage reference and clamping in ambient temperatures from −65 °C to +150 °C. Its 51.00 V nominal zener voltage is specified at IZT = 2 mA with ZZT = 180 Ω, and it maintains VBR ≥ 49.98 V at IZK = 0.5 mA with ZZK = 376 Ω.
Designed for reflow soldering at 260 °C/10 s, the device features matte tin-plated terminals over nickel underplate, RoHS-compliant lead-free construction, and SOD-123F mechanical outline (3.3–3.9 mm length, 1.5–1.7 mm width, 0.5–0.7 mm height) with cathode band polarity indication.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 49.98–52.02 V @ IZT = 2 mA - ensures tight regulation window for 51 V reference designs |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 500 mW - supports continuous operation up to ~10 mA at 51 V without derating below 25 °C |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 180 Ω @ IZT = 2 mA - defines small-signal AC impedance affecting regulation stability under load variation |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.045 μA @ VR = 35.7 V - enables ultra-low standby current in battery-backed protection circuits |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 350 °C/W - requires careful PCB copper area planning to maintain TJ < 150 °C at full PD |
| Operating Temperature | −65 °C to +150 °C - qualified for industrial and automotive under-hood environments |
| Package | SOD-123F - compact 3.6 × 1.6 × 0.6 mm surface-mount footprint compatible with standard SMT pick-and-place |
Pinout & Package
Two-terminal device in SOD-123F plastic package: anode (unmarked end) and cathode (band-marked end). Polarity is unambiguous per JEDEC standard; no internal bonding wires or substrate connections beyond the two leads.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / Zener reference ground node | Connected to lower-potential side of regulated circuit; must sink current during zener conduction |
| Cathode | Zener breakdown terminal / regulated output node | Marked by visible band; supplies stable 51 V when reverse-biased above VZ; connects to supply rail being clamped |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ±2% Zener voltage tolerance | Enables single-supply 51 V reference accuracy without post-assembly trimming or calibration |
| Halogen-free green compound | Meets IEC 61249-2-21 for environmentally compliant manufacturing and end-of-life disposal |
| Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 | Eliminates bake preconditioning before reflow, reducing production cycle time and cost |
| 260 °C/10 s soldering guarantee | Withstands standard lead-free reflow profiles without parametric shift or delamination |
| Matte tin/Ni lead finish | Ensures reliable solder wetting and intermetallic formation per MIL-STD-202 Method 208 |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5251B-7-F (Diodes Inc.) | Same 51 V ±2%, but SOT-23 package (higher RθJA = 400 °C/W); VF = 0.9 V @ 10 mA vs. 1.0 V typical for BZT52B51 RHG | Higher thermal resistance limits continuous power in confined layouts; smaller footprint saves board space | Select when board real estate is constrained and thermal margin allows derating to 350 mW |
| SZBZX84-B51LT1G (ON Semi) | 51 V ±5% tolerance; SOT-23 package; 410 mW rating; IR = 0.1 μA @ 35.7 V (2.2× higher leakage) | Looser tolerance increases reference uncertainty; higher leakage affects ultra-low-power monitoring | Select only for non-critical clamping where cost is primary and 5% VZ variation is acceptable |
Compared with MMBZ5251B-7-F and SZBZX84-B51LT1G, the BZT52B51 RHG delivers tighter voltage tolerance, lower leakage, and superior thermal performance in the industry-standard SOD-123F footprint-making it preferred for precision regulation and high-reliability industrial applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum steady-state zener current (IZM) for BZT52B51 RHG?
The maximum steady-state zener current IZM for BZT52B51 RHG is 35.7 mA, calculated from PD = 500 mW and VZ = 51 V (IZM = PD / VZ). This value assumes operation at 25 °C ambient with adequate PCB heat sinking; derating is required above 25 °C per the admissible power dissipation curve in DS_S1405026.
Does BZT52B51 RHG meet automotive qualification standards?
BZT52B51 RHG is not AEC-Q101 qualified, though it operates across −65 °C to +150 °C and supports automotive-adjacent applications like body control modules. For production automotive use, Taiwan Semiconductor recommends verifying qualification status per specific lot documentation and consulting their automotive product roadmap for AEC-Q101 variants.
What does the 'RHG' suffix indicate in BZT52B51 RHG?
The 'RHG' suffix in BZT52B51 RHG denotes SOD-123F package (RH) and halogen-free green compound (G), per Taiwan Semiconductor's ordering information. It confirms compliance with IEC 61249-2-21 and RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU, distinguishing it from non-green variants.
How is the zener voltage tested for BZT52B51 RHG?
Zener voltage for BZT52B51 RHG is tested under a 10 ms pulse condition per Note 1 in DS_S1405026, using IZT = 2 mA. This method avoids self-heating errors during measurement and ensures repeatability across production lots, yielding the specified 49.98–52.02 V range at 25 °C ambient.
Can BZT52B51 RHG be used in series for higher voltage references?
Yes, BZT52B51 RHG can be cascaded in series to achieve higher reference voltages (e.g., two devices yield ~102 V), but matching unit-to-unit VZ tolerance and thermal coupling must be considered. Uneven heating may cause current hogging; external balancing resistors are recommended for stable series operation.
