Product details
Overview
BZT52-C47J from Nexperia is a ±5 % tolerance Zener diode in SOD123 package, rated for 47 V nominal Zener voltage at IZ = 2 mA, with 325 Ω maximum differential resistance and 90 μA reverse current at VR = 40 V, used for precision voltage reference and low-power regulation in power supply feedback paths.
For engineers reviewing the BZT52-C47J datasheet, BZT52-C47J pinout, BZT52-C47J application, or BZT52-C47J equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance (Rth(j-sp) = 210 K/W), non-repetitive surge capability (IZSM = 0.5 A), and SOD123 footprint compatibility with automated SMT assembly.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference diode, conducting in reverse breakdown to maintain stable 47 V across its terminals within ±5 % tolerance when biased at 2 mA. Its low differential resistance (≤325 Ω) ensures minimal voltage variation under load changes, while temperature coefficient of +32.9 mV/K at IZ = 5 mA defines predictable drift behavior over operating range.
Designed for surface-mount use on FR4 PCBs with single-sided copper, it delivers 590 mW total power dissipation at Tamb ≤ 25 °C and withstands non-repetitive reverse surges up to 40 W for 100 μs-enabling robust transient suppression in regulated DC rails.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 44.0 V to 50.0 V at IZ = 2 mA - defines regulation window for feedback loop stability in 48 V systems |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | ≤325 Ω - limits output voltage deviation under ±1 mA load change in reference circuits |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤90 μA at VR = 40 V - ensures low leakage in high-impedance bias networks |
| Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 590 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C - supports continuous operation in compact PCB layouts with minimal heatsinking |
| Thermal Resistance (Rth(j-sp)) | 210 K/W - enables accurate junction temperature estimation from solder point measurement |
| Non-repetitive Surge (IZSM) | 0.5 A for tp = 100 μs - provides transient overvoltage clamping without degradation |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | −55 °C to +150 °C - supports industrial and extended-temperature embedded applications |
Pinout & Package
The BZT52-C47J uses the SOD123 surface-mount plastic package (2.80 mm × 1.70 mm × 1.30 mm), optimized for reflow soldering with standardized footprint per Figure 12 (0.81 mm pad width, 2.36 mm pad length, 3.27 mm center-to-center spacing).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Marked side) | Cathode (K) | Connected to regulated output node; marking band identifies polarity for correct orientation during placement |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; forms reverse-biased path enabling Zener conduction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ±5 % Zener voltage tolerance | Enables cost-effective voltage referencing where tight regulation is secondary to reliability and footprint |
| Low differential resistance (≤325 Ω) | Reduces output impedance in shunt regulator configurations, improving line/load regulation by <15 mV per mA |
| SOD123 package with standard reflow footprint | Ensures compatibility with high-speed pick-and-place equipment and IPC-7351-compliant land patterns |
| 150 °C maximum junction temperature | Supports operation in thermally constrained enclosures without derating below 125 °C ambient |
| Non-repetitive surge rating (0.5 A, 100 μs) | Provides inherent transient immunity in DC-DC converter feedback nodes without external TVS |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor MMBZ5269BS | Same 47 V nominal, ±5 %, but SOT-23 package (higher Rth(j-a) = 375 K/W) | Less suitable for high-power density designs due to inferior thermal performance | Select only if existing SOT-23 footprint reuse is required and power dissipation remains <200 mW |
| Vishay BZX84-C47 | Same 47 V, ±5 %, but SOT-23 package and higher rdif (≤400 Ω) | Higher dynamic impedance reduces regulation accuracy under varying load conditions | Prefer for legacy SOT-23 designs where board space allows thermal margin; avoid in precision feedback |
Compared with MMBZ5269BS and BZX84-C47, BZT52-C47J offers superior thermal coupling (Rth(j-sp) = 210 K/W vs. ≥375 K/W) and tighter dynamic impedance control-critical for maintaining regulation accuracy in space-constrained, thermally active environments.

FAQ
What is the Zener test current for BZT52-C47J?
The BZT52-C47J is characterized at IZ = 2 mA for Zener voltage specification, as confirmed in Table 9 of the datasheet. This differs from lower-voltage variants tested at 5 mA and aligns with optimal stability for 47 V devices under typical bias conditions.
Can BZT52-C47J be used in place of a 48 V Zener diode?
Yes-its 44.0 V to 50.0 V Zener range at 2 mA fully covers 48 V nominal requirements. The ±5 % tolerance yields ±2.4 V deviation, making it suitable for applications where 48 V ±5 % is acceptable, such as non-critical biasing or clamping functions.
How does the SOD123 package affect thermal performance?
The SOD123 package achieves Rth(j-sp) = 210 K/W to the cathode solder point, significantly better than SOT-23 alternatives (≥375 K/W). This allows 590 mW dissipation at 25 °C ambient without heatsinking-critical for dense PCB layouts.
Is BZT52-C47J automotive qualified?
No-per Section 13 of the datasheet, BZT52-C47J is non-automotive qualified. Nexperia explicitly states that C-series parts are not tested to AEC-Q200 and recommends dedicated -Q automotive variants for safety-critical vehicle systems.
