Product details
Overview
BZT52C56 RHG from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 56 V ±5% tolerance, 500 mW surface-mount Zener diode in SOD-123F package, tested at 2 mA zener current with 200 Ω dynamic impedance and 0.045 µA leakage at 39.2 V reverse bias; used for precision voltage reference and low-power stabilization in DC/DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the BZT52C56 RHG datasheet, BZT52C56 RHG pinout, BZT52C56 RHG application, or BZT52C56 RHG equivalent, key selection criteria include nominal zener voltage (56 V), tight ±5% tolerance, SOD-123F footprint compatibility, thermal resistance (350 °C/W), and low leakage performance under rated reverse voltage.
Technical Context
The BZT52C56 RHG operates as a single-die, cathode-banded Zener diode optimized for stable reverse-breakdown regulation. Its 56 V nominal zener voltage is specified at 2 mA test current (IZK), with 200 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZK) measured under same conditions and 400 Ω impedance (ZZT) at 5 mA (IZT).
Designed for ambient temperatures from –65 °C to +150 °C, it features a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 350 °C/W and meets RoHS, WEEE, and halogen-free (IEC 61249-2-21) compliance requirements with moisture sensitivity level 1 per J-STD-020.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5256B-7-F | Same 56 V ±5%, but SOT-23 package; 300 mW rating; 250 Ω ZZK at 2 mA | Larger footprint and higher thermal resistance than SOD-123F; less suitable for space-constrained layouts | Select when SOT-23 is already standardized in design and 300 mW suffices |
| 1N5256B-TAP | Through-hole DO-35 package; 500 mW; 5% tolerance; 200 Ω ZZK at 2 mA | Requires wave soldering or hand assembly; incompatible with fully SMT production flow | Select only for prototyping or legacy through-hole systems requiring identical electrical specs |

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance of BZT52C56 RHG?
The BZT52C56 RHG has a nominal zener voltage of 56 V with a guaranteed tolerance of ±5%, meaning the actual measured VZ falls between 53.2 V and 58.8 V at 2 mA test current. This tolerance is confirmed in the Electrical Specifications table of the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet (Version G1804), and applies across the full operating temperature range.
What package type does BZT52C56 RHG use?
The BZT52C56 RHG uses the SOD-123F surface-mount package, as explicitly stated in the Ordering Information section of the Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet. It features matte tin-plated leads, moisture sensitivity level 1, and a defined pad layout with 3.3–3.9 mm body length and cathode band polarity marking.
What is the maximum power dissipation rating for BZT52C56 RHG?
The BZT52C56 RHG has a maximum power dissipation (PD) rating of 500 mW at 25 °C ambient, as specified in both the Key Parameters and Absolute Maximum Ratings tables. Derating is required above 25 °C, with a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 350 °C/W defining the linear derating slope.
What is the leakage current specification for BZT52C56 RHG?
The BZT52C56 RHG exhibits a maximum leakage current (IR) of 0.045 µA at a reverse voltage (VR) of 39.2 V, per the Electrical Specifications table. This ultra-low leakage supports energy-efficient operation in battery-backed and always-on monitoring circuits.
Is BZT52C56 RHG RoHS and halogen-free compliant?
Yes, the BZT52C56 RHG is compliant with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and WEEE 2002/96/EC, and is halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21, as confirmed in the Features section of the Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet (Version G1804). These compliance statements apply to the full BZT52C2V4–BZT52C75 family, including BZT52C56 RHG.
