Product details
Overview
BZT52C43-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount 43 V Zener diode in SOD123 package, rated for 500 mW power dissipation at TL = +75°C and 370 mW at TA = +25°C, with 40.0–46.0 V nominal zener voltage range at 5 mA test current, used for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in DC power rails and sensor biasing circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZT52C43-13 datasheet, BZT52C43-13 pinout, BZT52C43-13 application, or BZT52C43-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±7%), dynamic impedance (100 Ω @ 5 mA), reverse leakage (0.1 µA @ 32.0 V), temperature coefficient (−5 mV/°C), 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 leakage, while the SOD123 package supports automated pick-and-place assembly and meets UL 94V-0 flammability requirements.
The device exhibits a negative temperature coefficient of −5 mV/°C near 43 V, enabling predictable thermal drift compensation in voltage references. It is characterized with 5 mA test current and specified for operation across −65°C to +150°C junction temperature range, with thermal resistance junction-to-ambient of 338°C/W on FR-4 PCB.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 43 V nominal, 40.0–46.0 V range @ 5 mA - defines regulated output voltage tolerance band |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 370 mW @ TA = +25°C - maximum continuous power on standard PCB layout |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 100 Ω @ 5 mA - indicates regulation stiffness; lower values yield tighter voltage control under load variation |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.1 µA @ 32.0 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in standby or high-impedance bias networks |
| Temperature Coefficient | −5 mV/°C - quantifies voltage drift per degree Celsius; enables thermal error budgeting in precision designs |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5243B-7-F | Same 43 V nominal, but 350 mW PD @ TA, SOT-23 package, 120 Ω ZZT | Higher thermal resistance limits power handling in compact layouts; smaller footprint reduces board area | Select when space-constrained PCBs prioritize size over power margin |
| BZX84-C43 | 43 V nominal, 300 mW PD, SOT-23, 150 Ω ZZT, no AEC-Q101 qualification | Lacks automotive reliability validation; higher impedance degrades regulation under dynamic loads | Acceptable for commercial-grade consumer products where cost and qualification are secondary |
Compared with MMBZ5243B-7-F and BZX84-C43, BZT52C43-13 delivers superior power handling (370 mW vs. ≤350 mW), lower dynamic impedance (100 Ω), and AEC-Q101 qualification-making it optimal for automotive and industrial applications demanding robust voltage reference stability under thermal stress.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage (VR) that BZT52C43-13 can withstand before breakdown?
The BZT52C43-13 has a nominal zener voltage of 43 V with a guaranteed range of 40.0–46.0 V at 5 mA test current. Breakdown occurs within this range; the device is not rated for sustained reverse voltage above its specified VZ without entering conduction. Its absolute maximum reverse voltage is defined by the zener specification-not a separate VR rating.
Is BZT52C43-13 suitable for use in high-frequency noise suppression?
No-this Zener diode is optimized for DC and low-frequency voltage regulation, not RF filtering. Its typical capacitance is not specified in the datasheet, and its dynamic impedance (100 Ω) and construction are unsuited for shunting MHz-range transients. TVS diodes or ceramic capacitors are preferred for high-frequency ESD or noise suppression.
Does BZT52C43-13 require a series current-limiting resistor in all applications?
Yes-because it operates in reverse breakdown, a series resistor is mandatory to limit current and prevent thermal runaway. The resistor value must be selected so that worst-case power dissipation (I2R) stays within the 370 mW limit at ambient temperature, accounting for input voltage variation and load current draw.
Can BZT52C43-13 replace a 47 V Zener diode in an existing design?
No-its 43 V nominal rating differs from 47 V by ~9%, exceeding typical tolerance budgets for voltage-critical circuits. Substituting would shift reference points, potentially causing comparator mis-triggers or ADC scaling errors. Use BZT52C47-13 if 47 V regulation is required.
