Product details
Overview
BZT52B7V5-G3-18 from Vishay Semiconductors is a silicon planar Zener diode with nominal zener voltage 7.5 V, ±2 % tolerance, and SOD-123 surface-mount package. It delivers stable voltage regulation at 5 mA test current, exhibits 7 Ω dynamic resistance, and supports operating temperatures from –55 °C to +150 °C. It is used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in power supply feedback loops.
For engineers reviewing the BZT52B7V5-G3-18 datasheet, BZT52B7V5-G3-18 pinout, BZT52B7V5-G3-18 application, or BZT52B7V5-G3-18 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±2 %), thermal resistance junction-to-ambient (420 K/W on FR-4), maximum power dissipation (300 mW on board), and cathode-marked unidirectional polarity.
Technical Context
This device operates as a single-element, unidirectional voltage reference diode with reverse-biased zener breakdown behavior. Its 7.5 V nominal zener voltage is specified at 5 mA test current (IZT1), with dynamic resistance of 7 Ω and temperature coefficient of +3 to +7 × 10⁻⁴/°C - indicating positive drift above 6 V.
The SOD-123 package enables compact PCB layout with MSL level 1 moisture sensitivity and peak reflow compatibility up to 260 °C. It is not AEC-Q101 qualified per ordering code suffix "G3-18", and features UL 94 V-0 molding compound.

Applications
| Power Supply Feedback Reference | Overvoltage Clamp Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Regulating output voltage in isolated flyback or buck-boost DC/DC converters via optocoupler feedback loop. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener reference node for TL431-like comparator input or direct feedback to controller error amplifier. Use Value: ±2 % tolerance and 7 Ω dynamic resistance ensure <±1 % output voltage accuracy across line/load/temperature. | Use Scenario: Protecting microcontroller I/O pins or ADC inputs from transient overvoltage events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Shunt clamping element that conducts above 7.5 V to limit voltage excursion. Use Value: Low 7 Ω impedance ensures rapid clamping response and limits peak voltage to ≤8.2 V at 10 mA surge. |
| Low-Power Voltage Reference | Current Source Biasing |
Use Scenario: Generating stable 7.5 V bias for op-amp rails or sensor excitation in battery-powered IoT nodes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision shunt reference providing fixed voltage independent of supply variation. Use Value: 100 nA max reverse leakage at 5 V preserves battery life; +3 to +7 × 10⁻⁴/°C tempco enables <0.1 %/°C drift compensation. | Use Scenario: Setting constant current in LED driver or transducer bias circuits using resistor-Zener combination. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Stable voltage node defining current through series resistor (e.g., 7.5 V / 1 kΩ = 7.5 mA). Use Value: Tight ±2 % tolerance ensures current accuracy within ±2 %; low dynamic resistance maintains stability under load modulation. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZT52C7V5-G3-18 | Same package and 7.5 V nominal, but ±5 % tolerance (vs. ±2 %) | Acceptable where calibration or wider regulation margin is permitted | Select for cost-sensitive designs where tighter tolerance is unnecessary |
| MMBZ5227BS-7-F | SOD-323 package, 3.3 V nominal, ±5 %, 100 mW Ptot - not voltage- or package-compatible | Only suitable for lower-voltage, lower-power reference needs | Not a functional substitute; consider only if redesigning for smaller footprint and lower voltage |
Compared with BZT52B7V5-G3-18, BZT52C7V5-G3-18 offers identical form and fit but sacrifices regulation precision, while MMBZ5227BS-7-F requires PCB layout change and cannot replicate the 7.5 V ±2 % performance in existing designs.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance of BZT52B7V5-G3-18?
The BZT52B7V5-G3-18 has a zener voltage tolerance of ±2 %, verified at 25 °C with 5 mA test current. This is indicated by the "B" in the part number (as opposed to "C" for ±5 %). The actual measured range is 7.35 V to 7.65 V, making it suitable for applications demanding tighter regulation than standard Zener diodes.
Does BZT52B7V5-G3-18 meet AEC-Q101 qualification?
No, BZT52B7V5-G3-18 is not AEC-Q101 qualified. The "G3" suffix denotes green, commercial-grade packaging, and the datasheet explicitly states AEC-Q101 qualification is available only upon request for specific part numbers - not included in the BZT52B7V5-G3-18 ordering code. For automotive applications, consult Vishay for qualified variants.
What is the maximum power dissipation of BZT52B7V5-G3-18 on a standard FR-4 PCB?
The maximum power dissipation of BZT52B7V5-G3-18 on an FR-4 board with the recommended soldering footprint is 300 mW at 25 °C ambient. This value derates linearly above 25 °C at a rate defined by its thermal resistance junction-to-ambient (420 K/W), reaching zero dissipation at approximately 100 °C ambient.
How is polarity marked on the BZT52B7V5-G3-18 SOD-123 package?
The BZT52B7V5-G3-18 uses a molded cathode bar on the SOD-123 package to indicate polarity. The cathode terminal is the end with the bar; the anode is the opposite end. This marking aligns with JEDEC-standard orientation and must be observed during placement to ensure correct reverse-bias operation as a Zener reference.
What is the dynamic resistance of BZT52B7V5-G3-18 and why does it matter?
The dynamic resistance of BZT52B7V5-G3-18 is 7 Ω at 5 mA test current. This parameter quantifies how much the zener voltage changes per unit change in current - lower values mean better regulation under varying load conditions. In practice, this enables tighter output voltage control in shunt regulator and feedback applications where current may fluctuate.
