Product details
Overview
BZT52C3V6S-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount Zener diode with nominal 3.6 V zener voltage (±0.2 V tolerance at 5 mA), 200 mW power dissipation, 90 Ω zener impedance at test current, and SOD323 package. It provides precision voltage regulation in low-power biasing, reference, and overvoltage protection circuits for consumer and industrial power management systems.
For engineers reviewing the BZT52C3V6S-7 datasheet, BZT52C3V6S-7 pinout, BZT52C3V6S-7 application, or BZT52C3V6S-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage accuracy at 5 mA, thermal resistance (625 °C/W), reverse leakage (<5 µA at 1.0 V), temperature coefficient (−3.5 to 0 mV/°C), and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with a tightly controlled 3.6 V nominal regulation point, specified at IZT = 5 mA. Its planar die construction and SOD323 package enable stable performance across −65 °C to +150 °C ambient operating range and support automated SMT assembly.
The device exhibits low dynamic impedance (90 Ω at 1 kHz) and minimal temperature drift (−3.5 to 0 mV/°C), making it suitable for precision voltage references where load and thermal variations must be minimized without active compensation.
Key Specifications

| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 90 Ω at 1 kHz, 5 mA - determines output voltage stability under varying load current |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | <5 µA at VR = 1.0 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in standby or high-impedance bias networks |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 625 °C/W - indicates junction-to-ambient heat transfer efficiency under natural convection |
| Operating Temperature | −65 °C to +150 °C - supports deployment in extended-temperature automotive and industrial environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMSZ4685-7-F | Zener voltage 3.6 V (same nominal), but wider tolerance (3.42–3.78 V); 350 mW PD; SOD123 package | Larger footprint; higher power rating suits higher-current clamping but increases board area | Select when higher surge energy absorption is required and SOD123 layout is already established |
| BZX384-C3V6,115 | Zener voltage 3.6 V (same nominal), tighter tolerance (3.42–3.78 V); 300 mW PD; SOD323 package; no AEC-Q101 qualification | Same footprint and thermal profile, but lacks automotive reliability validation | Select for cost-sensitive commercial designs where AEC-Q101 is not mandated |
Compared with MMSZ4685-7-F and BZX384-C3V6,115, the BZT52C3V6S-7 uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, SOD323 compactness, and tight 3.4–3.8 V regulation window-making it optimal for space-constrained automotive and industrial applications demanding proven reliability.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse current specification for BZT52C3V6S-7 at 1.0 V?
The maximum reverse current (IR) is 5 µA at VR = 1.0 V, measured at 25 °C ambient. This low leakage ensures minimal power loss in high-impedance bias networks and preserves accuracy in precision reference applications where current draw must remain below 10 µA.
Is BZT52C3V6S-7 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes-BZT52C3V6S-7 is qualified to AEC-Q101 standards, including stress tests for temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias, and electrostatic discharge. Its −65 °C to +150 °C operating range and SOD323 package meet requirements for engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS power rail monitoring.
How does the temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy over temperature?
The temperature coefficient ranges from −3.5 to 0 mV/°C, meaning output voltage may decrease up to 0.35 V over a 100 °C span. For applications requiring <1% regulation stability, this drift must be accounted for in circuit design-e.g., using feedback compensation or selecting tighter-tolerance variants like BZT52C3V6-7-F (if available).
What is the recommended PCB pad layout for SOD323 mounting?
Diodes Incorporated specifies a pad layout with X = 0.590 mm, X1 = 2.700 mm, Y = 0.450 mm for SOD323. This geometry ensures proper solder fillet formation, thermal relief, and mechanical stability during reflow. Full dimensions and land pattern files are published at diodes.com/package-outlines.html and must be used to avoid tombstoning or thermal delamination.
