Product details
Overview
BZT52C2V4-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount Zener diode with a nominal zener voltage of 2.4 V, 500 mW power dissipation at TL = +75°C, and 370 mW at TA = +25°C, housed in an SOD123 package. It delivers stable voltage regulation for low-voltage biasing, reference, and overvoltage protection in power management circuits across consumer and industrial electronics.
For engineers reviewing the BZT52C2V4-13 datasheet, BZT52C2V4-13 pinout, BZT52C2V4-13 application, or BZT52C2V4-13 equivalent, this part supports precise 2.4 V clamping at 5 mA test current, exhibits low dynamic impedance (≤100 Ω at 1 kHz), and maintains tight voltage tolerance (±8.3% at 25°C) - critical for low-dropout regulator feedback paths and microcontroller I/O protection.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to provide a stable reference voltage under controlled current conditions. Its planar die construction ensures consistent breakdown characteristics, while the SOD123 package enables high-density PCB layouts and compatibility with automated reflow assembly.
It features a cathode band polarity marking, 150 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance, and a -65°C to +150°C operating temperature range. The device meets AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability and complies with RoHS, halogen-free, and antimony-free "Green" standards.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 2.4 V nominal, 2.2–2.6 V range at 5 mA - defines clamping threshold for 2.5 V logic rail protection |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 370 mW at TA = +25°C - sets maximum continuous power in ambient-convection environments |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | ≤100 Ω at 1 kHz, 5 mA - ensures minimal voltage deviation under small-signal AC load variations |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤50 µA at VR = 1.0 V - guarantees low leakage in standby-biased reference circuits |
| Temperature Coefficient | -3.5 to 0 mV/°C - indicates negative drift, requiring compensation in precision references above 85°C |
| Junction-to-Lead RθJL | 150 °C/W - enables thermal design using lead-frame conduction path, not just PCB copper area |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOD123 - surface-mount plastic case with cathode band marking, 0.010 g mass, UL 94V-0 flammability rating, and matte tin-plated Alloy 42 leadframe.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / Zener cathode reference ground | Connected to circuit ground or lower-potential node; reverse-biased operation requires cathode at higher potential |
| Cathode | Zener breakdown terminal / voltage clamp output | Connected to regulated node; voltage develops across cathode-to-anode when reverse current ≥1.0 mA |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5221BS-7-F | Zener voltage 2.4 V, but SOT-23 package (3-pin); 350 mW PD at TA = +25°C; higher ZZT (150 Ω) | Requires different footprint and stencil; less suitable for ultra-dense layouts where SOD123 saves board area | Select when existing SOT-23 land pattern is fixed and thermal margin allows lower power rating |
| 1N4730A | Through-hole DO-41 package; 1 W PD; looser tolerance (±5%); 20 Ω ZZT at 20 mA | Not compatible with SMT assembly; used only in prototyping or legacy through-hole designs | Choose only for hand-soldered repair, educational kits, or non-automated production where size and density are secondary |
Compared with MMBZ5221BS-7-F and 1N4730A, BZT52C2V4-13 offers superior board-area efficiency in SMT lines, tighter voltage tolerance than 1N4730A, and lower dynamic impedance than MMBZ5221BS-7-F - making it optimal for space-constrained, high-volume consumer and automotive applications requiring repeatable 2.4 V clamping.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse current at 1.0 V for BZT52C2V4-13?
The maximum reverse current (IR) is 50 µA at VR = 1.0 V and TA = +25°C. This value reflects leakage behavior well below the knee of the Zener breakdown curve and is critical for low-power bias networks where quiescent current must remain sub-100 µA.
Can BZT52C2V4-13 be used in automotive applications?
Yes - BZT52C2V4-13 is qualified to AEC-Q101 standards and offered in automotive-grade variants (e.g., BZT52C2V4Q-13-F). Its -65°C to +150°C operating range, halogen-free construction, and validated reliability make it suitable for body electronics, infotainment power rails, and sensor interface circuits.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient (RθJA) for this device?
RθJA is 338 °C/W when mounted on an FR-4 PCB with a 1-inch copper pad layout. This value assumes standard JEDEC test conditions and must be derated per Figure 1 in DS18004 when ambient temperature exceeds +25°C or copper area is reduced.
How does the temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy above 85°C?
The temperature coefficient ranges from -3.5 to 0 mV/°C, meaning VZ decreases slightly with rising temperature. At +125°C, worst-case drift is approximately -0.35 V from 25°C baseline - a 14.6% shift - so precision applications require compensation or tighter thermal management.
