Product details
Overview
BZT52C36S-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount Zener diode with nominal zener voltage 36 V, 2 mA test current, 90 Ω maximum zener impedance at 1 kHz, 0.5 mA knee current, and ±5% voltage tolerance (34.0–38.0 V). It operates in reverse-bias regulation mode for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in low-power analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZT52C36S-7 datasheet, BZT52C36S-7 pinout, BZT52C36S-7 application, or BZT52C36S-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage accuracy, thermal resistance (625 °C/W), power dissipation (200 mW), SOD323 package compatibility, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
This Zener diode uses planar die construction to ensure stable breakdown characteristics across temperature. Its cathode-band polarity and matte tin-plated alloy-42 leadframe support automated SMT assembly and solderability per MIL-STD-202.
The device delivers regulated output under reverse bias with a temperature coefficient of +25.2 mV/°C and exhibits typical total capacitance below 10 pF at 1 V reverse bias-critical for noise-sensitive voltage reference and signal-clamping applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 36 V nominal, 34.0–38.0 V range at IZT = 2 mA - defines precise clamping threshold |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 200 mW - limits continuous regulation capability on FR-4 PCB with standard pad layout |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 90 Ω max at 1 kHz - determines AC ripple rejection in reference circuits |
| Reverse Current (IR) | 0.1 µA max at VR = 30.4 V - ensures low leakage in high-impedance bias networks |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 625 °C/W - requires derating above +25°C ambient for sustained operation |
| Operating Temperature | −65 to +150 °C - supports extended-range industrial and automotive environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5272BS-7-F | Zener voltage 36 V, but 350 Ω max ZZT at 0.25 mA - higher dynamic impedance | Lower test current (0.25 mA) reduces regulation stability under load variation | Prefer only where ultra-low standby current dominates over regulation precision |
| BZX84-C36 | SOT-23 package (larger footprint), 36 V ±5%, 100 Ω ZZT at 5 mA - higher power rating (350 mW) | Requires different PCB layout; better suited for higher-current regulation | Select when >200 mW dissipation or manual rework compatibility is required |
Compared with MMBZ5272BS-7-F and BZX84-C36, BZT52C36S-7 offers optimal balance of SOD323 space efficiency, 200 mW power handling, and 90 Ω low-impedance regulation at 2 mA-ideal for compact, thermally constrained automotive and industrial designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage before breakdown for BZT52C36S-7?
The nominal zener voltage is 36 V with a guaranteed range of 34.0 V to 38.0 V at 2 mA test current. Breakdown occurs within this band; operation below 34.0 V yields negligible reverse current (<0.1 µA at 30.4 V), confirming sharp knee behavior essential for reliable clamping.
Can BZT52C36S-7 be used in place of a 33 V Zener diode?
No-BZT52C36S-7 is specified only for 36 V regulation (34.0–38.0 V range). Substituting it for a 33 V part (e.g., BZT52C33S) would raise the clamping threshold by ~3 V, risking overvoltage stress on downstream circuitry unless system margins explicitly accommodate this shift.
Is the SOD323 package compatible with standard reflow profiles?
Yes-the SOD323 package is qualified for lead-free reflow per JEDEC J-STD-020 Level 1, with peak temperature tolerance up to 260°C. Its matte tin finish and alloy-42 leadframe ensure reliable wetting and joint integrity using standard Pb-free solder paste and profile ramp/soak/reflow cycles.
Does BZT52C36S-7 meet automotive qualification standards?
Yes-it is explicitly qualified to AEC-Q101 Rev D for high-reliability automotive applications, including temperature cycling, humidity testing, and mechanical shock. This certification covers the full SOD323 package variant with "-7" tape-and-reel packaging and applies to both commercial and automotive grade markings.
