Product details
Overview
BZT52C43-G from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 43 V ±5% tolerance surface-mount Zener diode in SOD-123 package, rated for 350 mW power dissipation, with 100 Ω typical zener impedance at 5 mA test current and 0.1 µA maximum leakage at 32 V reverse bias. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in low-power DC regulation circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZT52C43-G datasheet, BZT52C43-G pinout, BZT52C43-G application, or BZT52C43-G equivalent, key selection criteria include its nominal 43 V zener voltage, tight 5% tolerance, SOD-123 footprint compatibility, thermal resistance of 357 °C/W, and operation across –55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range.
Technical Context
The BZT52C43-G operates as a single-die, silicon planar Zener diode optimized for stable voltage regulation under reverse-biased conditions. Its 43 V nominal breakdown voltage is specified at 5 mA test current (IZT), with 100 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT) and 700 Ω maximum knee impedance (ZZK) at 1 mA, ensuring predictable clamping behavior in feedback and protection paths.
Thermal performance is defined by a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 357 °C/W and a maximum junction temperature of +150 °C. The device meets JESD201 Class 1A whisker resistance and J-STD-020 Moisture Sensitivity Level 1, supporting standard reflow assembly without preconditioning.

FAQ
What is the exact Zener voltage range for BZT52C43-G?
The BZT52C43-G has a guaranteed Zener voltage range of 40.0 V to 46.0 V at 5 mA test current (IZT), corresponding to its 43 V nominal rating with ±5% tolerance. This range is validated per Taiwan Semiconductor's C2007 specification document and applies under standard 25 °C ambient conditions.
Is BZT52C43-G suitable for high-temperature environments?
Yes, the BZT52C43-G supports continuous operation from –55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature. Its SOD-123 package and silicon construction maintain stable Zener characteristics across this range, with a documented temperature coefficient of +37.6 mV/°C - enabling predictable performance in engine control units or industrial motor drives.
Does BZT52C43-G meet lead-free and RoHS requirements?
Yes, the BZT52C43-G is RoHS compliant and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. Its matte tin-plated leads are solderable per J-STD-002, and the molding compound meets UL 94V-0 flammability standards - confirming full compliance with modern environmental and safety regulations.
What is the maximum power dissipation for BZT52C43-G?
The BZT52C43-G has a maximum power dissipation (PD) of 350 mW at 25 °C ambient temperature. Derating is required above 25 °C per the published power derating curve, with thermal resistance (RθJA) of 357 °C/W - meaning power must be reduced by ~1.0 mW per 0.36 °C rise above ambient.
How is polarity indicated on the BZT52C43-G package?
Polarity is indicated by a visible cathode band on the SOD-123 body of the BZT52C43-G. The banded end corresponds to the cathode terminal, which must be connected to the higher-potential node in Zener regulation or clamping configurations - consistent with standard diode marking conventions and JEDEC SOD-123 mechanical drawings.
