Product details
Overview
BZT52C30-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount 30 V Zener diode in SOD123 package, rated for 500 mW power dissipation at TL = +75°C and 370 mW at TA = +25°C, with ±3.3% voltage tolerance (28.0–32.0 V), 80 Ω maximum Zener impedance at 2 mA, and 0.1 µA maximum reverse leakage at 24.4 V. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in low-power DC regulation circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZT52C30-13 datasheet, BZT52C30-13 pinout, BZT52C30-13 application, or BZT52C30-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 30 V nominal Zener voltage, SOD123 footprint compatibility, AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use, thermal resistance (RθJA = 338 °C/W), and low leakage performance under reverse bias conditions.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable voltage across load variations and supply fluctuations. Its planar die construction ensures consistent breakdown characteristics and long-term stability under repeated thermal cycling.
The device exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +21.0 mV/°C near its 30 V operating point, enabling predictable drift compensation in multi-diode reference networks. It is specified for operation from –65 °C to +150 °C and supports automated pick-and-place assembly due to its SOD123 leadframe geometry and matte tin plating.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage before breakdown for BZT52C30-13?
The BZT52C30-13 has a nominal Zener voltage of 30 V with a guaranteed range of 28.0 V to 32.0 V at 2 mA test current. Breakdown begins within this range; operation above 32.0 V risks exceeding power limits unless current is strictly limited by external series resistance.
Is BZT52C30-13 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes - BZT52C30-13 is qualified to AEC-Q101 standards, including stress tests for temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias, and electrostatic discharge. Its SOD123 package and lead-free construction meet automotive manufacturing and environmental requirements.
How does thermal derating affect BZT52C30-13's power handling?
At +25°C ambient, BZT52C30-13 supports 370 mW; this decreases linearly to zero at +150°C junction temperature. With RθJA = 338 °C/W, power must be reduced by ~1.1 mW per °C rise above +25°C ambient on standard FR-4 layout.
Can BZT52C30-13 replace a 1N4745A in existing designs?
No direct drop-in replacement: BZT52C30-13 uses SOD123 surface-mount packaging versus DO-41 through-hole, and has lower power rating (370 mW vs. 1 W). Layout redesign and current-limiting resistor recalculation are required to ensure safe operation under identical load conditions.
