Product details
Overview
BZT52C2V4-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount Zener diode with a nominal zener voltage of 2.4 V, ±8.3% tolerance (2.2–2.6 V), 500 mW power dissipation at TL = +75°C, and 370 mW at TA = +25°C, used for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in low-voltage power rails and signal conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZT52C2V4-7 datasheet, BZT52C2V4-7 pinout, BZT52C2V4-7 application, or BZT52C2V4-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage accuracy at 5 mA test current, low dynamic impedance (≤100 Ω at IZT), temperature coefficient (−3.5 to 0 mV/°C), and SOD123 package compatibility with automated assembly.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable reference voltage under varying load and temperature conditions. Its planar die construction ensures consistent breakdown characteristics and low leakage, with a maximum reverse current of 5 µA at VR = 1.0 V and typical zener impedance of 100 Ω at 1 kHz.
The device is qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive reliability and features a cathode band polarity marker, matte tin-plated alloy 42 leadframe, and UL 94V-0 molded plastic case - enabling use in harsh environments without derating beyond its specified thermal resistance (RθJA = 338 °C/W on FR-4).
Key Specifications

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, same SOD123 package, but rated 350 mW PD at TA = +25°C (vs. 370 mW) | Lower power margin limits use in sustained 5 mA bias; identical thermal resistance and leakage | Select when legacy design uses Diodes Inc. MMBZ series and board space is constrained to SOD123 |
| BZX84-C2V4 | Zener voltage 2.4 V, SOT-23 package (3-pin), 350 mW PD, higher RθJA = 375 °C/W | Larger footprint and inferior thermal performance restrict use in high-density layouts or >40°C ambient | Prefer only if existing PCB has SOT-23 pads and no thermal derating margin is required |
Compared with MMBZ5221BS-7-F and BZX84-C2V4, BZT52C2V4-7 offers highest power handling in SOD123, tighter VZ tolerance (±8.3% vs. ±10%), and AEC-Q101 qualification - making it optimal for automotive and industrial designs requiring long-term voltage stability under thermal stress.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse current specification for BZT52C2V4-7 at 1.0 V?
The maximum reverse current (IR) is 5 µA at VR = 1.0 V and TA = +25°C, per the Electrical Characteristics table. This value remains stable across the full operating temperature range (−65°C to +150°C), confirming suitability for low-leakage bias networks and high-impedance reference paths where standby current must remain below 10 µA.
Can BZT52C2V4-7 be used in automotive applications?
Yes - BZT52C2V4-7 is qualified to AEC-Q101 standards for high-reliability automotive use. It undergoes stress testing including HTOL, temperature cycling, and ESD up to 8 kV HBM, and is supplied in tape-and-reel packaging (3,000 units per reel) with automotive-grade traceability and date coding per JESD-47.
What is the thermal resistance junction-to-ambient for this device?
RθJA is 338 °C/W when mounted on an FR-4 PCB with a 1-inch copper pad layout, as defined in Note 8 of the datasheet. This value assumes standard JEDEC test conditions and directly determines allowable power dissipation: at +75°C lead temperature, max PD = 500 mW; at +25°C ambient, max PD = 370 mW.
How does the temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy over temperature?
The temperature coefficient ranges from −3.5 to 0 mV/°C, meaning VZ decreases by up to 3.5 mV per degree Celsius rise. Over a 100°C span (e.g., −40°C to +60°C), total drift is ≤350 mV - resulting in ±14.6% deviation from nominal 2.4 V. For precision references, this requires compensation or selection of higher-VZ variants with flatter TC.
