Product details
Overview
BZT52C6V8Q-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is an AEC-Q101 qualified surface-mount Zener diode with nominal 6.8 V zener voltage, 5 mA test current, 15 Ω maximum zener impedance at 1 kHz, 2.0 mA maximum reverse leakage at 4.5 V, and ±5% voltage tolerance - used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in automotive power rails.
For engineers reviewing the BZT52C6V8Q-7-F datasheet, BZT52C6V8Q-7-F pinout, BZT52C6V8Q-7-F application, or BZT52C6V8Q-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage stability across temperature (±0.4 mV/°C coefficient), low dynamic impedance for regulation accuracy, SOD123 package compatibility with automated assembly, and automotive-grade reliability per AEC-Q101.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain a stable reference voltage under varying load and supply conditions. Its planar die construction ensures consistent electrical performance and thermal stability across -65°C to +150°C operating range.
The device delivers 500 mW power dissipation at lead temperature of 75°C and 370 mW at ambient 25°C, with thermal resistance junction-to-ambient of 338°C/W on FR-4 PCB - enabling use in compact, thermally constrained automotive modules without forced cooling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 6.8 V nominal, 6.4–7.2 V range at 5 mA - defines regulated output voltage in shunt regulator circuits |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 15 Ω max at 1 kHz and 5 mA - determines regulation sensitivity to load current changes |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 2.0 µA max at 4.5 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in standby power domains |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 370 mW at TA = 25°C - sets maximum continuous power handling on standard PCB layout |
| Temperature Coefficient | +1.2 mV/°C - enables predictable voltage drift compensation in temperature-critical references |
| Package | SOD123 - surface-mount outline with 2.55–2.85 mm body width, compatible with 0.9 mm pad pitch |
Pinout & Package
Two-terminal SOD123 package: cathode marked by band; anode and cathode terminals defined by polarity marking only - no internal pin numbering. Mounting requires cathode-band orientation verification during placement.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Reference ground node | Connected to system GND or lower-potential rail; establishes reference point for zener voltage drop |
| Cathode | Regulated output node | Provides stable 6.8 V relative to anode; sinks current to maintain voltage during overvoltage events |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMSZ4688-TP (Micro Commercial) | Same 6.8 V nominal, but ±5% tolerance and 20 Ω ZZT; not AEC-Q101 qualified | Limited to commercial-grade consumer power supplies; unsuitable for automotive environments | Select only for cost-sensitive non-automotive designs where AEC-Q101 is not mandated |
| BZX84-C6V8 (Nexperia) | 6.8 V nominal, ±5%, 40 Ω ZZT, SOT23 package - larger footprint and higher impedance than SOD123 | Requires PCB redesign due to different land pattern; less precise regulation under dynamic loads | Choose only if existing SOT23 footprint must be retained and 40 Ω impedance is acceptable |
Compared with MMSZ4688-TP and BZX84-C6V8, BZT52C6V8Q-7-F offers superior regulation accuracy (15 Ω vs. ≥20 Ω), automotive qualification, and SOD123 space efficiency - making it optimal for next-generation vehicle ECUs and high-reliability industrial sensors.

FAQ
What is the maximum power dissipation of BZT52C6V8Q-7-F at 75°C lead temperature?
The device is rated for 500 mW power dissipation when measured at TL = +75°C, per the Absolute Maximum Ratings table in DS18004 Rev. 38-2. This derated value accounts for thermal conduction through the leadframe and enables safe operation in high-temperature under-hood locations without heatsinking.
Is BZT52C6V8Q-7-F compatible with lead-free reflow profiles?
Yes - the device uses matte tin finish over alloy 42 leadframe and is fully RoHS-compliant. It meets MIL-STD-202 Method 208 solderability requirements and is qualified for standard Pb-free reflow profiles up to 260°C peak temperature, with no special pre-bake needed (MSL Level 1).
How does the temperature coefficient affect voltage regulation accuracy over automotive temperature range?
With a +1.2 mV/°C coefficient, BZT52C6V8Q-7-F exhibits approximately ±84 mV drift from -40°C to +125°C - adding ±1.2% to the nominal 6.8 V. This is factored into design margins for ECU power monitors where total error budget includes tolerance, drift, and noise.
Can this Zener diode replace a 6.2 V part in an existing circuit?
No - the 6.8 V nominal voltage differs significantly from 6.2 V, altering regulation thresholds and potentially causing functional failure in comparator-based protection circuits. Substitution requires verification of all downstream logic thresholds, hysteresis margins, and thermal drift effects.
