Product details
Overview
BZT52C4V7-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount 4.7 V Zener diode in SOD123 package, rated for 500 mW power dissipation at TL = +75°C and 370 mW at TA = +25°C, with 80 Ω maximum Zener impedance at 5 mA test current and ±5% voltage tolerance (4.4–5.0 V). It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in low-power analog signal conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZT52C4V7-7-F datasheet, BZT52C4V7-7-F pinout, BZT52C4V7-7-F application, or BZT52C4V7-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include its 4.7 V nominal Zener voltage, 3.0 µA reverse leakage at 2.0 V, -3.5 mV/°C temperature coefficient, SOD123 footprint compatibility, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable voltage regulation under controlled current conditions. Its planar die construction ensures consistent breakdown characteristics and low dynamic impedance (80 Ω @ 1 kHz), while the cathode-band polarity marking enables unambiguous PCB orientation during automated assembly.
The device exhibits a negative temperature coefficient of -3.5 mV/°C, meaning its Zener voltage decreases linearly with rising junction temperature. Thermal resistance values (RθJA = 338 °C/W, RθJL = 150 °C/W) define derating behavior on FR-4 boards with standard copper pad layouts.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 4.7 V nominal, 4.4–5.0 V range at 5 mA - defines regulated output voltage in shunt regulator or reference applications |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 370 mW at TA = +25°C - sets maximum continuous power handling on standard PCB without forced cooling |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 80 Ω max @ 1 kHz, 5 mA - determines regulation stability under varying load or ripple current |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 3.0 µA max @ VR = 2.0 V - limits standby current in low-power voltage detection circuits |
| Temperature Coefficient | -3.5 mV/°C - quantifies voltage drift per degree Celsius, critical for temperature-sensitive references |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5225BS-7-F | Same 4.7 V Zener voltage but SOT-23 package; higher 200 mW PD at TA = +25°C; 100 Ω ZZT | Requires different PCB footprint and has higher thermal resistance (RθJA = 350 °C/W); less suitable for space-constrained SOD123 layouts | Select when board layout allows SOT-23 and higher power margin is needed; avoid if SOD123 mechanical fit is mandatory |
| BZX84-C4V7 | 4.7 V Zener in SOT-23; 350 mW PD; 90 Ω ZZT; no AEC-Q101 qualification | Lacks automotive qualification and has wider voltage tolerance (±5% vs ±4.3%); not recommended for safety-critical modules | Acceptable for commercial-grade consumer devices where cost is prioritized over automotive reliability testing |
Compared with MMBZ5225BS-7-F and BZX84-C4V7, BZT52C4V7-7-F offers superior thermal performance in SOD123 form factor, guaranteed AEC-Q101 compliance, and tighter Zener voltage distribution-making it optimal for automotive and industrial applications demanding long-term stability and traceable qualification.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for BZT52C4V7-7-F at 2.0 V?
The maximum reverse leakage current (IR) is 3.0 µA at VR = 2.0 V and TA = +25°C, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This value ensures minimal quiescent current draw in voltage-monitoring circuits where the diode remains below breakdown during normal operation.
Is BZT52C4V7-7-F suitable for automotive applications?
Yes-BZT52C4V7-7-F is qualified to AEC-Q101 standards, confirming its reliability for automotive use. It meets stringent requirements for temperature cycling, humidity exposure, and mechanical shock, making it appropriate for engine control units, lighting modules, and ADAS sensor interfaces.
How does the temperature coefficient affect voltage regulation accuracy?
With a temperature coefficient of -3.5 mV/°C, the Zener voltage decreases by approximately 0.35% per 10°C rise in junction temperature. For applications requiring stable reference voltage across -40°C to +125°C, this drift must be compensated in system-level calibration or design margins.
What is the recommended PCB pad layout for SOD123 mounting?
The manufacturer specifies a suggested pad layout with X = 0.900 mm, X1 = 4.050 mm, and Y = 0.950 mm (all dimensions in mm). These dimensions ensure reliable solder joint formation, thermal transfer, and mechanical stability during reflow and board flexure, per Diodes' package outline documentation.
