Product details
Overview
BZT52C3V0T-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount Zener diode with a nominal zener voltage of 3.0 V (min 2.8 V, max 3.2 V) at 5 mA test current, 95 Ω dynamic impedance at 5 mA, and 300 mW power dissipation in SOD523 package. It provides precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in low-power analog sensing and biasing circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZT52C3V0T-7 datasheet, BZT52C3V0T-7 pinout, BZT52C3V0T-7 application, or BZT52C3V0T-7 equivalent, this part serves as a compact, RoHS-compliant, automotive-qualified (Q-suffix variants available) 3.0 V reference for space-constrained PCBs requiring stable reverse breakdown behavior under ≤10 µA leakage at 1.0 V reverse bias.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain a stable reference voltage across its terminals under controlled current conditions. Its 3.0 V nominal zener voltage exhibits a temperature coefficient of −3.5 mV/°C, enabling predictable drift compensation in temperature-sensitive analog front-ends.
The device is rated for 300 mW power dissipation on FR-4 board with 2 oz copper and 1.92 mm² pad area, with thermal resistance junction-to-ambient of 417 °C/W. Reverse leakage remains ≤10 µA at VR = 1.0 V, supporting low-power standby regulation in battery-backed systems.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5223BS-7-F | Same 3.0 V nominal zener voltage but higher ZZT (150 Ω), lower PD (200 mW), SOT-323 package | Larger footprint (2.1 mm × 1.25 mm) and reduced power margin limit use in thermally constrained layouts | Select when legacy SOT-323 footprint compatibility is required and thermal headroom exceeds 150 mW |
| BZX84-C3V0 | 3.0 V zener with wider tolerance (2.8–3.2 V same), but higher IR (50 µA at 1.0 V), SOT-23 package | Higher leakage increases standby current in battery-critical designs; larger SOT-23 impedes ultra-dense routing | Prefer only if existing SOT-23 land pattern must be reused and leakage budget allows ≥50 µA |
Compared with MMBZ5223BS-7-F and BZX84-C3V0, the BZT52C3V0T-7 delivers superior thermal performance (300 mW vs. ≤200 mW), lower leakage (10 µA vs. ≥50 µA), and smallest footprint (SOD523), making it optimal for miniaturized, low-power, and thermally sensitive regulation tasks.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage (VR) at which leakage remains ≤10 µA?
The BZT52C3V0T-7 guarantees IR ≤10 µA at VR = 1.0 V, per Electrical Characteristics Table. At VR = 2.0 V, leakage rises to ≤20 µA. This low-leakage behavior supports long-term battery operation in always-on sensor nodes.
Is the SOD523 package compatible with standard reflow profiles for lead-free soldering?
Yes - the device uses matte tin annealed terminals and is qualified for Pb-free reflow per J-STD-020, with moisture sensitivity level 1. Recommended peak temperature is 260°C for ≤30 seconds, matching IPC/JEDEC Class 3 profiles.
Does this Zener diode support automotive qualification?
The base BZT52C3V0T-7 is not AEC-Q200 qualified, but Diodes offers Q-suffix variants (e.g., BZT52C3V0TQ-7-F) manufactured in IATF 16949 facilities, PPAP-capable, and fully qualified to AEC-Q200 for automotive applications.
How does temperature affect the 3.0 V zener voltage in real-world operation?
With a temperature coefficient of −3.5 mV/°C, the zener voltage decreases linearly: at +85°C, VZ ≈ 2.79 V; at −40°C, VZ ≈ 3.18 V. This predictable drift allows system-level compensation in precision analog designs.
