Product details
Overview
BZT52C6V8T-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount Zener diode with nominal 6.8 V zener voltage, 5 mA test current, 15 Ω dynamic impedance at 1 kHz, 2.0 µA reverse leakage at 4.0 V, and ±1.2 mV/°C temperature coefficient. It operates from –55 °C to +150 °C and is used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in low-power analog sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the BZT52C6V8T-7 datasheet, BZT52C6V8T-7 pinout, BZT52C6V8T-7 application, or BZT52C6V8T-7 equivalent, this page delivers verified package mapping (SOD523), thermal resistance (417 °C/W), power dissipation (300 mW), cathode band polarity, and JEDEC-qualified reliability data - all confirmed from Diodes' official DS30502 Rev. 18-2.
Technical Context
This Zener diode functions as a two-terminal voltage regulator in reverse-biased mode, maintaining stable output voltage across load and supply variations. Its 6.8 V nominal breakdown is specified at 5 mA (IZT), with low dynamic impedance (15 Ω) ensuring minimal voltage deviation under small-signal perturbations.
The device uses a planar epitaxial construction in a SOD523 package with matte tin–annealed Alloy 42 leads, rated for 300 mW power dissipation at 25 °C and derated linearly above 25 °C per the published curve (417 °C/W RθJA). It meets JEDEC high-reliability standards and is RoHS 3 / "Green" compliant.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5235BS-7-F | Same 6.8 V nominal Zener, but 100 mW PD and 600 Ω ZZT - higher impedance, lower power handling | Limited to ultra-low-power biasing; unsuitable for clamping or moderate-current reference loads | Select only if board space is identical and thermal budget is <100 mW |
| BZX84-C6V8 | 6.8 V Zener in SOT-23 package; 350 mW PD but larger footprint and 40 Ω ZZT | Better power handling but incompatible with SOD523 land pattern; requires PCB redesign | Choose when higher surge tolerance is needed and layout revision is acceptable |
Compared with MMBZ5235BS-7-F and BZX84-C6V8, the BZT52C6V8T-7 uniquely balances low impedance (15 Ω), medium power (300 mW), and ultra-compact SOD523 packaging - making it optimal for space-constrained, thermally sensitive, precision reference designs where both accuracy and reliability are required.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage (VR) at which leakage current remains ≤2.0 µA?
The BZT52C6V8T-7 exhibits ≤2.0 µA reverse leakage current at VR = 4.0 V, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This value is measured at 25 °C and defines the upper limit of reverse bias where leakage stays within low-power design thresholds - critical for battery-operated systems where standby current must be minimized.
Is the BZT52C6V8T-7 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes - the BZT52C6V8T-7 is JEDEC-qualified for high reliability and manufactured in IATF 16949-certified facilities. While the standard part is not AEC-Q200 qualified, Diodes offers automotive-grade variants (e.g., BZT52C6V8TQ-7-F) with PPAP documentation and extended testing. For non-safety-critical automotive subsystems like lighting or infotainment, the standard part is widely deployed.
How does the SOD523 package affect thermal performance compared to SOT-23?
The SOD523 package has higher thermal resistance (RθJA = 417 °C/W) than typical SOT-23 Zeners (~300 °C/W), due to its smaller pad area and reduced copper exposure. This limits continuous power dissipation to 300 mW at 25 °C and requires careful PCB layout - such as using thermal vias and enlarged copper pours - to maintain junction temperature below 150 °C in high-ambient environments.
Can the BZT52C6V8T-7 be used as a substitute for the BZT52C6V2T-7 in a 6.2 V reference design?
No - the BZT52C6V8T-7 has a nominal Zener voltage of 6.8 V (6.4–7.2 V range), while the BZT52C6V2T-7 is 6.2 V (5.8–6.6 V). Substituting introduces a systematic 0.6 V offset, degrading accuracy in precision references. The devices share identical package and thermal specs, but voltage mismatch makes them non-interchangeable without circuit recalibration or resistor network adjustment.
