Product details
Overview
BZT52C5V1LP-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount Zener diode with nominal zener voltage 5.1 V, 5 mA test current, 60 Ω maximum zener impedance at IZT, and 2.0 µA maximum reverse leakage at 2.0 V. It is housed in a DFN1006-2 package, rated for 250 mW power dissipation, and qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive-grade reliability.
For engineers reviewing the BZT52C5V1LP-7 datasheet, BZT52C5V1LP-7 pinout, BZT52C5V1LP-7 application, or BZT52C5V1LP-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±6%), temperature coefficient (−2.7 mV/°C), cathode-marked polarity, and thermal resistance (500 °C/W) in minimal-pad FR-4 layouts.
Technical Context
This device operates as a precision voltage reference and overvoltage clamp in low-power analog and digital circuits. Its −2.7 mV/°C temperature coefficient enables stable regulation near room temperature, while its 60 Ω dynamic impedance at 5 mA ensures predictable voltage deviation under load variation.
The DFN1006-2 package supports high-density PCB layouts and automated reflow assembly. With 0.001 g mass and Level 1 moisture sensitivity, it requires no bake preconditioning and achieves reliable solder joints using NiPdAu-plated terminals per MIL-STD-202 Method 208.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 5.1 V nominal, 4.8–5.4 V range at 5 mA - defines clamping threshold in protection circuits |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 250 mW at TA = 25°C - limits continuous current to ~49 mA at 5.1 V |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 60 Ω max at IZT = 5 mA - determines output voltage shift under ±1 mA load change |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 2.0 µA max at VR = 2.0 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in standby bias networks |
| Temp Coefficient (αVZ) | −2.7 mV/°C - indicates voltage drift direction and magnitude across −65°C to +150°C |
| Package | DFN1006-2 (1.0 × 0.6 × 0.5 mm) - enables 0201 footprint compatibility with exposed cathode pad |
Pinout & Package
DFN1006-2 is a two-terminal leadless package with cathode indicated by a dot on the top surface. Terminals are co-planar, unmarked anode and marked cathode; no internal die bonding wire connects to substrate.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Reference node for reverse-bias operation | Connected to lower-potential rail (e.g., GND) when used as shunt regulator |
| Cathode | Zener breakdown terminal | Marked with dot; connected to higher-potential rail (e.g., VIN) to clamp excess voltage |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5221BLT1G | Zener voltage 3.0 V, 200 mW rating, SOT-23 package | Higher thermal resistance (~600 °C/W); unsuitable for high-density layouts | Select only if 3.0 V reference is required and board space permits larger footprint |
| BZX384-B5V1 | 5.1 V, ±5% tolerance, 300 mW, SOD-323 package | Higher leakage (5 µA @ 2 V); not AEC-Q101 qualified | Acceptable for commercial-grade consumer products but not automotive or industrial safety-critical use |
Compared with MMBZ5221BLT1G and BZX384-B5V1, BZT52C5V1LP-7 offers tighter voltage tolerance (±6% vs ±10%), automotive qualification, and superior thermal performance in ultra-compact DFN1006-2-making it optimal for space-constrained, high-reliability designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage this diode can withstand before breakdown?
The BZT52C5V1LP-7 has a nominal zener voltage of 5.1 V with a guaranteed range of 4.8–5.4 V at 5 mA test current. Breakdown occurs sharply within this band; operation above 5.4 V at rated current risks exceeding 250 mW power limit and thermal runaway. It is not rated for sustained reverse voltage beyond its specified VZ range.
Is this diode suitable for use in a 12 V automotive system?
Yes-it is AEC-Q101 qualified and commonly deployed in 12 V systems for clamping transients on 5 V logic rails. However, it must be used with a series current-limiting resistor to restrict power dissipation to ≤250 mW. For direct 12 V rail protection, a higher-voltage Zener or TVS diode is recommended.
Does the DFN1006-2 package require special soldering profile considerations?
No special profile is needed. The device is Level 1 moisture sensitive and compatible with standard lead-free reflow profiles (peak 260°C). Its NiPdAu terminals ensure reliable wetting on common PCB finishes. Recommended pad layout is provided in Diodes Inc. DS30506 Rev. 16, page 4.
How does the −2.7 mV/°C temperature coefficient affect circuit performance?
This negative coefficient means the zener voltage decreases by 2.7 mV per degree Celsius rise. Over a 100°C range (−40°C to +60°C), VZ shifts by ~270 mV-approximately ±5.3%. Designers must account for this in precision references; it is acceptable for general-purpose clamping where ±10% tolerance is sufficient.
