Product details
Overview
BZT52C4V3SQ-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount Zener diode with nominal 4.3 V zener voltage (±0.3 V tolerance), 200 mW power dissipation, and 90 Ω maximum zener impedance at 5 mA test current, designed for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in compact DC power rails.
For engineers reviewing the BZT52C4V3SQ-7-F datasheet, BZT52C4V3SQ-7-F pinout, BZT52C4V3SQ-7-F application, or BZT52C4V3SQ-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage accuracy at 5 mA, low leakage (<3 µA @ 1.0 V), thermal resistance (625 °C/W), automotive qualification (AEC-Q101), and SOD323 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable reference voltage under varying load and temperature conditions. Its planar die construction ensures consistent voltage regulation, while the cathode-band polarity marking enables unambiguous orientation during automated placement.
The device is rated for operation from −65 °C to +150 °C and exhibits a temperature coefficient of −3.5 mV/°C near 4.3 V, enabling predictable drift compensation in bias networks and feedback loops where thermal stability is critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 4.3 V nominal, 4.0–4.6 V range at IZT = 5 mA - defines regulation setpoint for low-voltage reference circuits |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 200 mW - limits continuous current to ~46 mA at 4.3 V without heatsinking |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 90 Ω max at 1 kHz, 5 mA - determines output voltage ripple rejection in shunt regulator topologies |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 3 µA max at VR = 1.0 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in battery-powered sensing nodes |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 625 °C/W - requires careful PCB copper area design to avoid junction overheating above ambient |
| Operating Temperature | −65 °C to +150 °C - supports under-hood automotive and industrial control environments |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOD323 - ultra-compact 2-pin surface-mount plastic case (1.30 mm × 1.70 mm × 0.90 mm), matte tin-plated alloy 42 leadframe, cathode band marking, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / Zener reference ground node | Connected to lower-potential side of regulated rail; forms return path for zener current |
| Cathode | Reverse-biased breakdown terminal / Zener output node | Connected to higher-potential side; delivers stable 4.3 V reference when reverse-biased above knee voltage |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMSZ4V3T1G | Same 4.3 V nominal, but 350 mW PD, 500 Ω ZZT, SOD123 package (larger footprint) | Higher power handling but less precise regulation; suitable where board space allows larger package | Select when >200 mW dissipation is required and tighter impedance is not critical |
| BZX384-C4V3 | 4.3 V nominal, 300 mW PD, 90 Ω ZZT, SOD323 package, but not AEC-Q101 qualified | Lacks automotive qualification; limited to commercial-temperature industrial use | Choose for cost-sensitive non-automotive designs requiring identical electrical performance |
Compared with MMSZ4V3T1G and BZX384-C4V3, BZT52C4V3SQ-7-F uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, SOD323 size, and tight 90 Ω impedance-making it optimal for space-constrained automotive voltage references where reliability and regulation precision are jointly critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse current specification for BZT52C4V3SQ-7-F at 1.0 V?
The maximum reverse current (IR) is 3 µA at VR = 1.0 V and TA = +25 °C, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This low leakage supports energy-efficient operation in always-on sensor biasing and battery-backed circuits where standby current must remain below 10 µA.
Is BZT52C4V3SQ-7-F suitable for use in a 125 °C ambient environment?
Yes - its operating temperature range extends to +150 °C, and it is qualified to AEC-Q101 standards, which include high-temperature operating life testing at 150 °C. Derating curves confirm usable power dissipation down to ~120 mW at 125 °C ambient when mounted on FR-4 with recommended pad layout.
How does the −3.5 mV/°C temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy?
The negative temperature coefficient means VZ decreases by 3.5 mV per °C rise. Over a 100 °C span (−40 °C to +60 °C), this causes ~350 mV total drift - a 8.1% shift from 4.3 V. For high-accuracy references, this must be compensated via circuit topology (e.g., complementary diode pairs) or calibrated out in digital systems.
Can BZT52C4V3SQ-7-F replace a 4.7 V Zener in an existing design?
No - its nominal 4.3 V rating differs from 4.7 V by 0.4 V (9.3%), exceeding typical tolerance bands for most regulation or clamping functions. Substituting would cause incorrect bias points, comparator thresholds, or overvoltage trip levels unless the circuit explicitly accommodates ±0.5 V variation.
