Product details
Overview
BZT52C16S-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount Zener diode with nominal 16 V zener voltage (15.3–17.1 V range at 5 mA), 200 mW power dissipation, and SOD323 package. It provides precise voltage regulation in low-power biasing, reference, and overvoltage protection circuits for industrial sensors and automotive ECUs.
For engineers reviewing the BZT52C16S-7 datasheet, BZT52C16S-7 pinout, BZT52C16S-7 application, or BZT52C16S-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±3.1%), temperature coefficient (+11.2 mV/°C), low leakage (<0.1 µA at 10.4 V), and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive reliability.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable voltage across its terminals under varying current loads. Its planar die construction ensures consistent breakdown characteristics, while the SOD323 package supports high-density PCB layouts and automated reflow assembly.
The device exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +11.2 mV/°C above 6 V, enabling predictable drift compensation in temperature-sensitive references. Maximum zener impedance is 40 Ω at 5 mA test current and 200 Ω at 1 mA knee current, supporting stable regulation in low-current bias networks.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 16 V nominal, 15.3–17.1 V range at IZT = 5 mA - defines regulation setpoint with ±3.1% tolerance |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 200 mW at TA = 25°C - limits continuous operating current to ~12.5 mA at 16 V |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 40 Ω max at 5 mA - ensures minimal output voltage variation under load changes |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | <0.1 µA at VR = 10.4 V - enables ultra-low quiescent current in battery-backed references |
| Temperature Coefficient | +11.2 mV/°C - quantifies voltage drift per degree rise, critical for thermal stability design |
| Package | SOD323 - 1.3 × 1.7 mm footprint, 0.3 mm profile, compatible with IPC-7351B standard land pattern |
Pinout & Package
Two-terminal SOD323 package with cathode band marking; no internal pin numbering-cathode (banded end) and anode (unmarked end) define polarity for reverse-bias operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (banded end) | Reverse-bias voltage reference node | Connected to regulated rail; carries reverse current during breakdown |
| Anode (unmarked end) | Reference ground or return path | Tied to circuit common; completes bias path for zener conduction |
Key Features

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 | Zener voltage 16 V (15.2–16.8 V), 250 mW PD, same SOD323 package | Higher power rating allows 15.6 mA max continuous current vs. 12.5 mA for BZT52C16S-7 | Select for higher current regulation where thermal margin is constrained |
| BZX84-C16 | Zener voltage 16 V (15.3–17.1 V), 300 mW PD, SOT-23 package (larger footprint) | Requires 2.9 × 1.3 mm board area vs. 1.3 × 1.7 mm; not drop-in compatible | Select only if SOT-23 layout exists and higher power or legacy sourcing is required |
Compared with MMBZ5245BS-7-F and BZX84-C16, the BZT52C16S-7 offers tighter AEC-Q101 validation for automotive use, lower profile for space-constrained designs, and optimized thermal resistance (625°C/W) for passive cooling in sealed enclosures.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse current specification for BZT52C16S-7 at 10.4 V?
The maximum reverse leakage current is 0.1 µA at VR = 10.4 V and TA = 25°C, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This value remains ≤0.5 µA up to 125°C ambient, verified per AEC-Q101 thermal testing protocols.
Does BZT52C16S-7 support lead-free reflow soldering?
Yes - it features matte tin finish over Alloy 42 leadframe, qualified to JEDEC J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity, and fully compliant with IPC-J-STD-020D reflow profiles including peak temperatures up to 260°C for 10 seconds.
How does the temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy over automotive temperature range?
With +11.2 mV/°C TC and 16 V nominal VZ, the voltage drift is +1.12 V from −40°C to +125°C (165°C span). Combined with ±3.1% initial tolerance, total variation is ±4.8% - acceptable for non-critical biasing where absolute accuracy is secondary to stability.
Is the SOD323 package compatible with standard pick-and-place equipment?
Yes - the SOD323 outline meets IPC-7351B standard dimensions (1.3 × 1.7 mm body, 0.3 mm height), and the matte tin terminations ensure reliable vacuum nozzle adhesion and placement accuracy down to ±0.05 mm at 100% yield on Fuji CP7 and MyData MY200 platforms.
