Product details
Overview
BZT52C33-13-F from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount 33 V, ±5% tolerance Zener diode in SOD123 package, rated for 500 mW power dissipation at TL = +75°C and 370 mW at TA = +25°C, with 80 Ω maximum Zener impedance at 2 mA test current, used for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in DC power rails and sensor biasing circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZT52C33-13-F datasheet, BZT52C33-13-F pinout, BZT52C33-13-F application, or BZT52C33-13-F equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy (31.0–35.0 V), low leakage (<0.1 µA at 24.8 V), thermal resistance (RθJA = 338 °C/W), and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
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 dynamic impedance across the 2–51 V family.
Designed for medium-current general-purpose regulation, it delivers 33 V nominal regulation at 2 mA test current with ±5% tolerance, −2 mV/°C temperature coefficient, and <0.1 µA reverse leakage at VR = 24.8 V - enabling predictable clamping in low-power analog and digital supply monitoring.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 33 V nominal, 31.0–35.0 V range at IZT = 2 mA - defines precise clamping threshold for 3.3 V–5 V logic rail protection |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 370 mW at TA = +25°C - supports continuous operation in compact PCB layouts without forced cooling |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 80 Ω max at f = 1 kHz, IZT = 2 mA - ensures minimal voltage deviation under dynamic load transients |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.1 µA max at VR = 24.8 V - guarantees negligible quiescent current draw in battery-powered sensing nodes |
| Temperature Coefficient | −2 mV/°C - enables predictable drift compensation in temperature-stable reference designs |
| Package | SOD123 - 2.65 mm × 1.55 mm footprint compatible with high-speed pick-and-place and reflow soldering |
Pinout & Package
Two-terminal device in SOD123 plastic package with cathode band marking; anode and cathode terminals are unidirectional, polarity-critical for proper reverse-bias operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Reference ground node | Connected to system GND or lower-potential rail; establishes forward conduction path during fault conditions |
| Cathode | Regulated output node | Connected to protected circuit node; maintains 33 V clamp when reverse voltage exceeds breakdown threshold |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5265BLT1G | 33 V, ±5%, 200 mW PD, SOT-23 package, 100 Ω ZZT @ 20 mA | Lower power rating and higher impedance limit use to low-current biasing only | Select when board space is constrained and load current ≤1 mA |
| BZX84-C33 | 33 V, ±5%, 300 mW PD, SOT-23 package, 80 Ω ZZT @ 5 mA | Higher test current (5 mA) shifts operating point; not drop-in for 2 mA designs | Prefer where existing SOT-23 footprint reuse is required and thermal margin allows |
Compared with MMBZ5265BLT1G and BZX84-C33, BZT52C33-13-F offers 24% higher power handling and identical Zener impedance at lower test current - making it optimal for sustained 2–5 mA regulation in thermally limited automotive and industrial PCBs.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage (VR) at which BZT52C33-13-F guarantees IR ≤ 0.1 µA?
The datasheet specifies IR ≤ 0.1 µA at VR = 24.8 V - this is the maximum reverse voltage below the 33 V Zener breakdown where leakage remains within that limit. Exceeding 24.8 V increases leakage exponentially until reaching the 31.0 V minimum breakdown threshold.
Can BZT52C33-13-F be used in place of a 30 V Zener diode for overvoltage protection?
No - its 33 V nominal Zener voltage and 31.0–35.0 V tolerance range make it unsuitable as a direct replacement for a 30 V part. Using it would raise the clamping threshold by ≥1 V, potentially exposing downstream circuitry to damaging overvoltage during transients.
Is the SOD123 package of BZT52C33-13-F compatible with standard reflow profiles for lead-free soldering?
Yes - the device is qualified for Pb-free reflow per JEDEC J-STD-020, with MSL Level 1 rating. It withstands peak temperatures up to 260°C for ≤60 seconds and ramp rates ≤3°C/s, matching IPC/JEDEC Class 3 profiles for high-reliability assembly.
Does BZT52C33-13-F have a specified capacitance value relevant for high-frequency noise suppression?
No - the datasheet does not list junction capacitance (CJ) for the BZT52C33 variant. While Fig. 5 shows typical CJ ≈ 15–20 pF for 30–39 V parts at VR = 1 V, this is extrapolated data; Diodes does not guarantee or specify capacitance for BZT52C33-13-F in the official DS18004 document.
