Product details
Overview
BZT52C47-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount Zener diode with nominal zener voltage 47 V, ±6.4% tolerance (44.0–50.0 V), 500 mW power dissipation at TL = +75°C, 100 Ω maximum zener impedance at 5 mA test current, and reverse leakage ≤0.1 µA at 35 V - used for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in DC power rails of industrial control modules.
For engineers reviewing the BZT52C47-13 datasheet, BZT52C47-13 pinout, BZT52C47-13 application, or BZT52C47-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage stability across temperature (−3.5 to 0 mV/°C TC), low capacitance (≈2.5 pF at 1 V), SOD123 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to clamp or regulate voltage at its specified nominal value under controlled current conditions. Its planar die construction ensures stable breakdown characteristics and low leakage, while the SOD123 package supports automated placement and reflow soldering.
The device exhibits a typical zener impedance of 100 Ω at 5 mA and <750 Ω at knee current (0.1 mA), with thermal resistance junction-to-ambient of 338 °C/W on FR-4 board - enabling predictable derating above +25°C ambient per Figure 1 in DS18004 Rev. 38-2.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 47 V nominal, 44.0–50.0 V range at 5 mA - defines precise clamping threshold for 48 V rail protection |
| Power Dissipation | 500 mW at lead temperature +75°C - sets maximum continuous power handling under thermal constraints |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 100 Ω max at IZT = 5 mA - determines regulation accuracy under load variation |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤0.1 µA at VR = 35 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in standby circuits |
| Temperature Coefficient | −3.5 to 0 mV/°C - quantifies voltage drift over −65°C to +150°C operating range |
| Package | SOD123 - 2.65 mm × 1.55 mm footprint with cathode band polarity marking |
Pinout & Package
Two-terminal SOD123 package: anode and cathode terminals identified by molded cathode band. No internal pin numbering; polarity is unidirectional - cathode must be connected to higher potential for reverse-bias operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Low-side reference node | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; establishes reference point for zener conduction |
| Cathode | High-side clamping node | Connected to protected line; conducts when voltage exceeds 47 V to shunt excess current |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive electronics - supports extended temperature cycling and humidity exposure |
| Lead-free & RoHS compliant | Meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU with <900 ppm Br/Cl and <1000 ppm Sb - suitable for green manufacturing |
| Planar die construction | Enables tight voltage tolerance and repeatable breakdown behavior across production lots |
| Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 | No floor life limitation - safe for standard SMT assembly without dry pack or baking |
Applications
| Industrial Power Monitoring | Automotive ECU Voltage Clamp |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Monitoring 48 V battery-derived supply in PLC I/O modules where transient spikes exceed nominal rail. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener clamping element placed across input filter capacitor to limit voltage to safe levels for downstream regulators.

Use Scenario: Protecting CAN transceiver supply pins in engine control units exposed to ISO 7637-2 pulse 5a. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standby overvoltage protector tied between VCC and GND, conducting only during >47 V excursions. Use Value: Maintains <0.1 µA leakage at 35 V to avoid battery drain while clamping within 100 ns response. |
| Medical Sensor Bias Regulation | Telecom Line Card Protection |
Use Scenario: Providing stable 47 V bias for avalanche photodiode arrays in portable diagnostic equipment. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision voltage reference source in high-impedance bias network with minimal self-heating. Use Value: Delivers <±0.5 V drift over −20°C to +70°C due to low TC and 100 Ω ZZ. |
Use Scenario: Secondary overvoltage protection on 48 V PoE-powered line cards subjected to lightning-induced surges. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-response shunt limiter placed after primary TVS to refine clamping level near IC absolute max ratings.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5270BS-7-F | Same 47 V nominal, but SOT-23 package (3-pin, dual-anode); 350 mW PD at TA = 25°C | Higher board density possible, but requires layout change and lacks AEC-Q101 qualification | Select when space-constrained PCBs demand smaller footprint and automotive compliance is not required |
| BZX84-C47 | 47 V nominal, SOT-23 package, 300 mW rating, ±5% tolerance (vs. ±6.4%), TC = −3.5 to 0 mV/°C | Lower power handling and no AEC-Q101 validation - limited to commercial-grade consumer systems | Choose for cost-sensitive non-automotive designs where 300 mW suffices and tighter tolerance is preferred |
Compared with MMBZ5270BS-7-F and BZX84-C47, BZT52C47-13 offers superior thermal robustness (500 mW at +75°C), automotive qualification, and SOD123 mechanical reliability - making it optimal for industrial and automotive voltage-clamp roles where long-term stability under thermal stress is critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage before breakdown for BZT52C47-13?
The BZT52C47-13 has a nominal zener voltage of 47 V with a guaranteed range of 44.0–50.0 V at 5 mA test current. Breakdown begins at the lower limit (44.0 V) and is fully established by 50.0 V. It is not rated for continuous operation above 50 V in reverse bias.
Does BZT52C47-13 require a series current-limiting resistor in circuit?
Yes - a series resistor is mandatory to limit zener current to ≤5 mA for stable regulation or ≤100 mA for short-duration pulse clamping. Without it, excessive power dissipation (>500 mW) will cause thermal runaway and permanent failure.
Is BZT52C47-13 compatible with lead-free reflow profiles?
Yes - the device uses matte tin finish on alloy 42 leads and is qualified for standard Pb-free reflow per J-STD-020, with peak temperature up to 260°C. Its moisture sensitivity level is 1, eliminating bake requirements prior to assembly.
How does temperature affect the zener voltage of BZT52C47-13?
The temperature coefficient ranges from −3.5 to 0 mV/°C, meaning the zener voltage decreases slightly as temperature rises. At +125°C, the shift is approximately −0.35 V from the 25°C value - a predictable, linear drift used in compensated reference designs.
