Product details
Overview
BZT52C47-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount 47 V Zener diode in SOD123 package, rated for 500 mW power dissipation at TL = +75°C and 370 mW at TA = +25°C, with ±5% nominal Zener voltage tolerance (44.0–50.0 V), 100 Ω maximum Zener impedance at 5 mA, and 0.1 µA maximum reverse leakage at 35.0 V. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in DC power rail regulation circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZT52C47-7-F datasheet, BZT52C47-7-F pinout, BZT52C47-7-F application, or BZT52C47-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, thermal resistance (RθJA = 338 °C/W), low leakage (<0.1 µA @ 35 V), AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use, and compatibility with automated SMT assembly on FR-4 PCBs.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable voltage across its terminals under varying load or line conditions. Its planar die construction ensures consistent breakdown characteristics and low dynamic impedance (ZZT ≤ 100 Ω @ 5 mA) for tight regulation in feedback loops.
Thermal performance is defined by junction-to-ambient (338 °C/W) and junction-to-lead (150 °C/W) resistances, enabling reliable operation up to +150°C storage and operating temperature. The cathode band polarity marking and matte tin-plated Alloy 42 leadframe support solderability per MIL-STD-202.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 47 V nominal, 44.0–50.0 V range @ 5 mA - defines clamping threshold in protection circuits |
| Power Dissipation | 370 mW @ TA = +25°C - sets max continuous DC power before thermal derating |
| Zener Impedance | ≤100 Ω @ 1 kHz, 5 mA - ensures minimal voltage variation under dynamic load changes |
| Reverse Leakage | ≤0.1 µA @ VR = 35.0 V - guarantees low standby current in battery-powered systems |
| Thermal Resistance | RθJA = 338 °C/W - requires ≥1 inch² copper pad for full-rated power handling |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMSZ47ET1G | Same 47 V nominal, but SOD-123 package with 350 mW rating @ TA = +25°C and RθJA = 390 °C/W | Lower power handling and higher thermal resistance limit use in high-ambient or high-duty-cycle clamping | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs thermal margin; verify derating curves for target board layout |
| BZX84-C47 | SOT-23 package, 300 mW rating, 150 Ω Zener impedance @ 5 mA, no AEC-Q101 qualification | Not suitable for automotive or high-reliability industrial use; smaller footprint but less robust thermal path | Prefer for space-constrained consumer PCBs where AEC-Q101 is not required and 150 Ω impedance is acceptable |
Compared with MMSZ47ET1G and BZX84-C47, BZT52C47-7-F offers superior thermal performance (338 °C/W vs. 390/450 °C/W), higher power rating (370 mW), and automotive-grade qualification - making it optimal for mission-critical clamping where long-term stability and transient resilience are essential.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage (VR) at which BZT52C47-7-F guarantees ≤0.1 µA leakage?
The datasheet specifies IR ≤ 0.1 µA at VR = 35.0 V. This is the guaranteed maximum reverse leakage voltage point - not the absolute maximum rating. Exceeding 35 V increases leakage exponentially and risks entering unregulated breakdown region before reaching the 47 V Zener knee.
Can BZT52C47-7-F be used in place of a 5.1 V Zener diode for low-voltage logic protection?
No. BZT52C47-7-F has a nominal Zener voltage of 47 V and is unsuitable for 5.1 V logic-level circuits. Substituting it would result in catastrophic failure: the device remains non-conductive below ~44 V, leaving downstream 5 V ICs fully exposed to overvoltage events.
Does the "-7-F" suffix indicate tape-and-reel packaging and RoHS compliance?
Yes. The "-7-F" suffix denotes 3,000-unit tape-and-reel packaging (Type Number-7-F) and confirms full RoHS compliance per EU Directive 2011/65/EU, including lead-free plating and halogen-free molding compound meeting Diodes Incorporated's "Green" standard (Br+Cl <1500 ppm, Sb <1000 ppm).
How does the SOD123 package affect thermal performance compared to DO-35 or SOD-323?
SOD123 provides significantly better thermal dissipation than SOD-323 (RθJA ≈ 450 °C/W) due to larger copper pad area and lower junction-to-lead resistance (150 °C/W). Versus DO-35, it offers comparable RθJA but eliminates axial-leaded assembly constraints and improves SMT placement yield.
