Product details
Overview
BZT52C4V7-G from Taiwan Semiconductor is a surface-mount 4.7 V Zener diode with ±5% voltage tolerance, 350 mW power dissipation, and SOD-123 package. It provides precise voltage regulation in low-power circuits such as voltage reference, overvoltage protection, and signal clamping in consumer and industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the BZT52C4V7-G datasheet, BZT52C4V7-G pinout, BZT52C4V7-G application, or BZT52C4V7-G equivalent, key selection criteria include nominal Zener voltage (4.7 V), test current (5 mA), dynamic impedance (80 Ω at IZT), leakage current (3 µA at 2.0 V), and thermal resistance (357 °C/W).
Technical Context
The BZT52C4V7-G operates as a single-die, cathode-banded Zener diode optimized for stable reverse-breakdown regulation at 4.7 V under 5 mA test current. Its 80 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT and 500 Ω maximum knee impedance ensure predictable clamping behavior across temperature.
Designed for ambient operation from –55 °C to +150 °C, it features a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 357 °C/W and meets JESD201 Class 1A whisker resistance. Polarity is marked by a visible cathode band on the SOD-123 body.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5225B-7-F | Same 4.7 V nominal Zener, but ±5% tolerance and 225 mW PD; SOT-23 package | Lower power rating limits use in higher-current shunt regulators; smaller footprint suits dense PCB layouts | Select when board space is constrained and 225 mW suffices; verify thermal margin in enclosed enclosures |
| 1N4732A | 4.7 V nominal, ±5%, but through-hole DO-41 package and 1 W PD; higher leakage (10 µA @ 3.8 V) | Requires wave soldering; suited for prototyping or legacy through-hole designs needing higher power headroom | Choose for manual assembly, high-reliability industrial power supplies, or where 1 W dissipation is required |
Compared with MMBZ5225B-7-F and 1N4732A, the BZT52C4V7-G offers optimal balance of SMD compatibility, 350 mW capability, and low 3 µA leakage-making it preferred for modern compact, low-power, and RoHS-compliant designs.
