Product details
Overview
BZT52C5V6-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount 5.6 V Zener diode in SOD123 package, rated for 500 mW peak power dissipation at TL = +75°C and 370 mW at TA = +25°C, with 40 Ω typical Zener impedance at 5 mA test current and ±2.5 µA maximum reverse leakage at 2.5 V. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in low-power analog sensing and power rail regulation circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZT52C5V6-7-F datasheet, BZT52C5V6-7-F pinout, BZT52C5V6-7-F application, or BZT52C5V6-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±7.1%), temperature coefficient (–2 mV/°C), thermal resistance (150 °C/W junction-to-lead), and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with tightly controlled voltage regulation across 1.0 mA to 5 mA test current range. Its planar die construction ensures stable Zener characteristics and low dynamic impedance under transient conditions.
The device exhibits a negative temperature coefficient of –2 mV/°C near 5.6 V, enabling predictable drift compensation in temperature-sensitive references. Its SOD123 package supports automated placement and provides 338 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on FR-4 PCB with 1-inch copper pad.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5232BS-7-F | Same 5.6 V nominal, but SOT-323 package (smaller footprint, higher RθJA = 400 °C/W) | Limited to lower ambient temperatures due to reduced thermal mass; unsuitable for under-hood automotive | Select when board space is constrained and power dissipation remains ≤150 mW |
| BZX84-C5V6 | 5.6 V Zener in SOT-23; 500 mW rating but higher ZZT = 60 Ω at 5 mA and no AEC-Q101 qualification | Not qualified for automotive; higher impedance reduces regulation fidelity in precision references | Acceptable for commercial-grade consumer power supplies where cost and qualification are secondary |
Compared with MMBZ5232BS-7-F and BZX84-C5V6, BZT52C5V6-7-F offers superior thermal performance (RθJL = 150 °C/W), AEC-Q101 validation, and lower Zener impedance-making it the preferred choice for automotive and industrial applications demanding reliability and regulation accuracy.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage (VR) at which BZT52C5V6-7-F guarantees ≤2.5 µA leakage?
The datasheet specifies that reverse leakage current IR is ≤2.5 µA at VR = 2.5 V. This value is measured under standard test conditions (TA = +25°C) and reflects the device's ability to maintain low standby current in clamping or reference configurations below its Zener knee.
Does BZT52C5V6-7-F support reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020?
Yes - the SOD123 package is rated for Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (MSL-1), meaning it can be subjected to unlimited floor life and standard lead-free reflow profiles (peak temperature up to 260°C) without baking preconditioning, per JEDEC J-STD-020 requirements.
How does the –2 mV/°C temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy over temperature?
At 5.6 V nominal, a –2 mV/°C coefficient translates to approximately –0.036% per °C drift. Over a –40°C to +125°C range (165°C span), total drift is ~–330 mV (–5.9%), meaning actual Zener voltage ranges from ~5.27 V to ~5.93 V - consistent with the specified 5.2–6.0 V min/max window at 25°C.
Is BZT52C5V6-7-F suitable for use in life support equipment?
No - Diodes Incorporated explicitly prohibits use of this device in life support systems without written CEO approval. The part is not certified to ISO 13485 or IEC 62304, and lacks the fault coverage, redundancy, and validation required for safety-critical medical applications.
