Product details
Overview
BZT52C4V7Q-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is an automotive-grade surface-mount Zener diode with a nominal zener voltage of 4.7 V, ±5% tolerance (4.4–5.0 V), 500 mW power dissipation at TL = +75°C, and 80 Ω maximum zener impedance at 5 mA test current - used for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in automotive body control modules.
For engineers reviewing the BZT52C4V7Q-7-F datasheet, BZT52C4V7Q-7-F pinout, BZT52C4V7Q-7-F application, or BZT52C4V7Q-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage accuracy, thermal resistance (RθJL = 150 °C/W), AEC-Q101 qualification, SOD123 package compatibility, and reverse leakage (3.0 µA @ 2.0 V) in low-power biasing circuits.
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 breakdown characteristics, while the SOD123 package supports automated placement and provides RθJA = 338 °C/W on FR-4 PCBs.
It delivers 4.7 V regulation at 5 mA test current with ±5% tolerance, exhibits a negative temperature coefficient of –3.5 mV/°C, and maintains low dynamic impedance (80 Ω) - enabling accurate voltage clamping in sensor bias networks and ECU power-rail supervision.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMSZ4700T1G | Zener voltage 4.7 V ±5%, but rated 500 mW @ TA = +25°C only; RθJA = 375 °C/W - less robust at elevated ambient | Not AEC-Q101 qualified; suitable for commercial-grade consumer products only | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive reliability requirements |
| BZX84-C4V7 | Same 4.7 V rating, but SOT-23 package; higher RθJA = 300 °C/W and no AEC-Q101 certification | Larger footprint and lower thermal efficiency limit use in dense automotive PCB layouts | Prefer only if existing SOT-23 land pattern prohibits SOD123 redesign |
Compared with MMSZ4700T1G and BZX84-C4V7, BZT52C4V7Q-7-F offers superior thermal performance (RθJL = 150 °C/W), guaranteed automotive qualification, and tighter process control for consistent voltage regulation in safety-critical vehicle subsystems.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for BZT52C4V7Q-7-F at 2.0 V?
The maximum reverse leakage current is 3.0 µA at VR = 2.0 V and TA = +25°C, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This value remains ≤5.0 µA across the full operating temperature range (–65°C to +150°C), ensuring minimal loading in high-impedance bias networks.
Is BZT52C4V7Q-7-F compatible with lead-free reflow soldering profiles?
Yes - it is fully RoHS-compliant with matte tin finish on alloy 42 leadframe and qualified for soldering per MIL-STD-202, Method 208. The SOD123 package withstands peak reflow temperatures up to 260°C for 10 seconds, matching standard lead-free JEDEC J-STD-020 profiles.
How does the temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy over automotive temperature ranges?
With a temperature coefficient of –3.5 mV/°C, the zener voltage drifts approximately ±0.44 V from –40°C to +125°C. At 5 mA test current, this yields a total regulation window of ~4.26–5.14 V - still within functional margin for 5 V system supervision where ±10% tolerance is acceptable.
Can BZT52C4V7Q-7-F replace BZT52C4V7-7-F in existing designs?
Yes - the "Q" suffix denotes AEC-Q101 qualification; all electrical, thermal, and mechanical specifications are identical to the commercial-grade BZT52C4V7-7-F. The only difference is enhanced reliability testing and traceability documentation required for automotive applications.
