Product details
Overview
BZT52C47Q-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is an AEC-Q101 qualified surface-mount Zener diode with a nominal zener voltage of 47 V, ±5% tolerance (44.0–50.0 V), 500 mW power dissipation at TL = +75°C, and 370 mW at TA = +25°C. It features SOD123 package, matte tin-plated alloy 42 leadframe, and is used for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in automotive control modules.
For engineers reviewing the BZT52C47Q-7-F datasheet, BZT52C47Q-7-F pinout, BZT52C47Q-7-F application, or BZT52C47Q-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage accuracy, thermal resistance (RθJA = 338 °C/W), reverse current at VR = 35 V (≤0.1 µA), maximum zener impedance (750 Ω at 5 mA), and automotive qualification status.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable reference voltage under varying load and temperature conditions. Its planar die construction ensures consistent breakdown characteristics, while the SOD123 package supports automated assembly and meets UL 94V-0 flammability requirements.
Thermal performance is defined by RθJL = 150 °C/W and RθJA = 338 °C/W (on FR-4 with 1-inch copper pad). The device exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +35.0 mV/°C at IZTC = 5 mA, enabling predictable drift compensation in voltage-reference circuits.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMSZ47ET1G | Zener voltage 47 V ±5%, 500 mW PD, SOD-123 package, but rated only to AEC-Q200 (not Q101); RθJA = 350 °C/W | Lacks automotive-grade reliability validation; suitable for industrial/commercial systems without AEC-Q101 mandate | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive qualification requirement and thermal margin permits higher RθJA |
| BZX84-C47 | Zener voltage 47 V ±5%, 300 mW PD, SOT-23 package; no AEC-Q101 qualification; higher ZZT (1000 Ω) | Lower power rating limits use in sustained clamp applications; smaller footprint trades thermal performance for board space | Prefer for space-constrained consumer designs where 370 mW derating is acceptable and automotive qualification is unnecessary |
Compared with MMSZ47ET1G and BZX84-C47, BZT52C47Q-7-F delivers superior thermal performance (RθJA = 338 °C/W), automotive qualification (AEC-Q101), and tighter leakage control (0.1 µA at 35 V), making it optimal for safety-critical automotive voltage reference and clamp functions.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage (VR) at which BZT52C47Q-7-F guarantees IR ≤ 0.1 µA?
The datasheet specifies IR ≤ 0.1 µA at VR = 35 V. This is the maximum reverse voltage at which leakage remains within that limit; operation above 35 V increases leakage exponentially and may exceed specification. For reliable clamping, ensure circuit design keeps steady-state reverse bias below 35 V unless transient energy is limited by series impedance.
Can BZT52C47Q-7-F be used in parallel for higher power dissipation?
No - Zener diodes exhibit negative temperature coefficients and mismatched VZ tolerances, causing current hogging and thermal runaway when paralleled. To increase power handling, use a single higher-rated Zener or implement active regulation with a transistor-based shunt circuit instead of direct parallel connection.
Is the SOD123 package of BZT52C47Q-7-F compatible with reflow profiles for lead-free soldering?
Yes - the device is fully RoHS-compliant and qualified for lead-free reflow per J-STD-020. Its moisture sensitivity level is 1, allowing unlimited floor life before reflow. Recommended peak temperature is 260°C, with time above 217°C limited to 60–150 seconds, matching standard Pb-free profile requirements.
How does the +35.0 mV/°C temperature coefficient affect voltage reference stability?
The positive coefficient means VZ increases ~35 mV per °C rise in junction temperature. At 100°C junction temperature (vs. 25°C test condition), VZ rises ~2.6 V - from 47.0 V to ~49.6 V. For high-stability references, this drift must be compensated via circuit topology (e.g., complementary Zener-temperature networks) or operating within narrow thermal margins.
