Product details
Overview
BZT52C5V1T-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount Zener diode with a nominal zener voltage of 5.1 V, ±5% tolerance (4.8–5.4 V), 5 mA test current, 60 Ω dynamic impedance at 1 kHz, and 300 mW power dissipation in SOD523 package. It provides precise voltage regulation in low-power biasing, reference, and overvoltage protection circuits for consumer power supplies and sensor signal conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the BZT52C5V1T-7 datasheet, BZT52C5V1T-7 pinout, BZT52C5V1T-7 application, or BZT52C5V1T-7 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, thermal derating behavior, cathode-band polarity marking, JEDEC-qualified reliability data, and direct substitution guidance against industry-standard 5.1 V Zeners in SOD523.
Technical Context
This Zener operates in reverse breakdown mode with a temperature coefficient of –2.7 mV/°C, enabling predictable drift compensation in stable reference designs. Its 1.0 µA maximum reverse leakage at 2.0 V ensures minimal quiescent current draw in battery-powered monitoring nodes.
The device is rated for –55°C to +150°C operation, qualified to JEDEC high-reliability standards, and manufactured in IATF 16949-certified facilities-making it suitable for industrial control and automotive body electronics where thermal stability and process traceability are critical.
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 regulated output level in shunt reference circuits |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 300 mW at 25°C - sets maximum continuous power handling on standard FR-4 PCB with 2 oz copper |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 60 Ω at 1 kHz, 5 mA - determines regulation accuracy under varying load current |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 2.0 µA max at 2.0 V - limits standby current in low-power voltage monitor stages |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 417 °C/W - quantifies junction-to-ambient self-heating under ambient convection cooling |
| Operating Temperature | –55°C to +150°C - supports deployment in under-hood automotive and industrial motor drive environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5221BS-7-F | Same 5.1 V nominal, but 100 Ω ZZT and 200 mW PD; SOD-323 package (larger than SOD523) | Higher impedance reduces regulation precision; lower power rating limits surge handling | Prefer when legacy SOD-323 footprint compatibility is required over size or regulation tightness |
| 1SMA5913BT3G | 5.1 V, 1.5 W PD, DO-214AC package; 10 Ω ZZT but 2.5× larger footprint and 10× higher leakage (2.5 µA @ 2 V) | Superior power handling for transient suppression; unsuitable for space-constrained or ultra-low-IQ designs | Choose only when >500 mW clamping energy is needed and board area permits DO-214AC |
Compared with MMBZ5221BS-7-F and 1SMA5913BT3G, BZT52C5V1T-7 uniquely balances ultra-small SOD523 size, 60 Ω regulation impedance, and JEDEC-qualified reliability-making it optimal for miniaturized industrial sensors and automotive body-control modules where footprint, precision, and qualification status are jointly constrained.

FAQ
What is the cathode marking convention for BZT52C5V1T-7?
The cathode is identified by a visible band on the SOD523 package body - consistent with JEDEC standard polarity marking. When viewed from the top with the band on the left, the left pad is cathode and right pad is anode. This orientation matches standard PCB silkscreen conventions for automated optical inspection and pick-and-place alignment.
Does BZT52C5V1T-7 meet AEC-Q200 requirements?
No - BZT52C5V1T-7 is qualified to JEDEC high-reliability standards but is not AEC-Q200 certified. For automotive-grade equivalents, Diodes offers the Q-suffix variants (e.g., BZT52C5V1TQ-7-F), which undergo full AEC-Q200 stress testing and are produced in IATF 16949-certified facilities with PPAP documentation support.
How does thermal derating affect BZT52C5V1T-7's power handling above 25°C?
Per Figure 1 in DS30502, power dissipation linearly derates from 300 mW at 25°C to zero at 150°C, yielding a slope of –2.5 mW/°C. At 100°C ambient, maximum allowable power drops to 112.5 mW - requiring circuit designers to limit Zener current accordingly to avoid junction overheating and parameter drift.
Can BZT52C5V1T-7 be used in place of a 5.0 V Zener diode?
Not without verification: its 5.1 V nominal value (4.8–5.4 V range) exceeds typical 5.0 V Zener tolerances (e.g., 4.75–5.25 V). In precision references or reset circuits with tight thresholds, this 2% offset may cause premature triggering or failure to activate - system-level validation of voltage margin is required before substitution.
