Product details
Overview
BZT52C3V0 RHG from Taiwan Semiconductor is a surface-mount 3.0 V ±5% Zener diode in SOD-123F package, rated for 500 mW power dissipation and tested at 5 mA zener current. It provides precise low-voltage regulation with 2.85–3.15 V nominal breakdown range, 100 Ω dynamic impedance, and 9 µA leakage at 1.0 V reverse bias - used in DC/DC converter feedback networks and voltage reference circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZT52C3V0 RHG datasheet, BZT52C3V0 RHG pinout, BZT52C3V0 RHG application, or BZT52C3V0 RHG equivalent, key selection criteria include verified 3.0 V ±5% tolerance, SOD-123F thermal resistance (350 °C/W), cathode-band polarity marking, moisture sensitivity level 1 compliance, and RoHS/WEEE/halogen-free certification.
Technical Context
The BZT52C3V0 RHG operates as a single-die, unidirectional Zener diode optimized for stable voltage clamping and reference generation in low-power analog and power management circuits. Its 5 mA test current and 100 Ω zener impedance at IZT ensure predictable regulation under light-load conditions typical of sensor biasing and microcontroller reset circuits.
Designed for surface-mount assembly with matte tin-plated leads compliant to J-STD-002, the device features a UL 94 V-0 molding compound and operates across –65 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range. Polarity is unambiguously indicated by a cathode band, and its 8.85 mg mass supports automated pick-and-place accuracy.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5222BS-7-F (Diodes Inc.) | Same 3.0 V ±5%, SOD-323 package (smaller footprint), 350 mW rating, 100 Ω ZZT | Higher thermal resistance (~450 °C/W) limits power handling in sustained 500 mW scenarios | Select when board space is constrained and peak power remains ≤350 mW |
| 1N4728A (ON Semiconductor) | 3.3 V nominal, DO-35 through-hole package, 1.0 W rating, 10 Ω ZZT, ±5% tolerance | Not surface-mountable; requires wave soldering; tighter impedance but incompatible with SMT-only lines | Select only for legacy through-hole designs where 3.3 V (not 3.0 V) regulation is acceptable |
Compared with MMBZ5222BS-7-F and 1N4728A, the BZT52C3V0 RHG uniquely balances SMD compatibility, 500 mW capability, and 3.0 V ±5% precision in the industry-standard SOD-123F outline - making it optimal for new designs requiring reliable, RoHS-compliant low-voltage regulation without layout compromise.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage range specified for BZT52C3V0 RHG at 5 mA test current?
The BZT52C3V0 RHG has a guaranteed zener voltage range of 2.85 V (minimum) to 3.15 V (maximum) when tested at 5 mA, reflecting its ±5% tolerance around the nominal 3.0 V rating. This range is validated per Taiwan Semiconductor's G1804 specification document and applies under pulse-test conditions (30 ms duration) at 25 °C ambient.
Is BZT52C3V0 RHG suitable for reflow soldering without moisture preconditioning?
Yes, BZT52C3V0 RHG is rated Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 per J-STD-020, meaning it may be stored indefinitely at ≤30 °C/60% RH and placed directly into reflow without baking or dry-pack handling. Its SOD-123F package uses UL 94 V-0 molding compound compatible with standard lead-free reflow profiles.
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for continuous operation of BZT52C3V0 RHG?
The BZT52C3V0 RHG supports continuous operation from –65 °C to +150 °C junction temperature. At ambient temperatures above 25 °C, power dissipation must be linearly derated from 500 mW using the specified junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 350 °C/W, reaching zero power at 121 °C ambient.
Does BZT52C3V0 RHG meet halogen-free and RoHS requirements?
Yes, BZT52C3V0 RHG complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and WEEE 2002/96/EC, and is certified halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. These qualifications are documented in Taiwan Semiconductor's G1804 revision and confirmed on official product change notices and material declarations.
How is polarity identified on the BZT52C3V0 RHG SOD-123F package?
Polarity on the BZT52C3V0 RHG is indicated by a visible cathode band located at one end of the SOD-123F case. The banded end is the cathode; the opposite end is the anode. This marking aligns with JEDEC standards and is verified in the mechanical drawings of Taiwan Semiconductor's G1804 datasheet.
