Product details
Overview
BZT52C6V8TQ-7-F 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 dissipates up to 300 mW in SOD523 package, used for precision voltage regulation in automotive sensor signal conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZT52C6V8TQ-7-F datasheet, BZT52C6V8TQ-7-F pinout, BZT52C6V8TQ-7-F application, or BZT52C6V8TQ-7-F equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal derating behavior, cathode-band polarity marking, JEDEC-qualified reliability data, and AEC-Q200-aligned packaging context for automotive-grade design-in.
Technical Context
This Zener diode functions as a two-terminal voltage reference device operating in reverse breakdown mode. Its 6.8 V nominal zener voltage is specified at 5 mA (IZT), with tight tolerance (6.4–7.2 V) and low dynamic impedance (15 Ω at 1 kHz), enabling stable regulation under varying load conditions.
The device uses a planar epitaxial junction structure in a molded plastic SOD523 package with matte tin–annealed alloy 42 leads. Thermal resistance is 417 °C/W (junction-to-ambient, FR-4 board), and it meets JEDEC high-reliability standards with moisture sensitivity level 1 per J-STD-020.
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 with ±6% tolerance |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 300 mW - maximum continuous power at 25 °C ambient; derates linearly above 25 °C per Fig. 1 |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 15 Ω at 1 kHz - ensures minimal output voltage variation under dynamic load transients |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 2.0 µA at VR = 4.0 V - low off-state current preserves battery life in always-on monitoring circuits |
| Temperature Coefficient | +1.2 mV/°C - positive drift enables predictable compensation in temperature-sensitive references |
| Operating Temperature | –55 °C to +150 °C - supports under-hood automotive environments without derating |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5235BS-7-F | Same 6.8 V VZ, but SOT-323 package (larger footprint, higher RθJA = 450 °C/W) | Less suitable for ultra-dense automotive PCBs; better thermal margin in low-airflow enclosures | Select when board layout allows larger pad area and higher thermal resistance is acceptable |
| BZX84-C6V8-7-F | 6.8 V VZ, SOT-23 package, 350 mW PD, 40 Ω ZZT - higher impedance and power rating | Used where higher surge energy absorption is required, but less precise regulation | Prefer for cost-sensitive industrial designs where ±10% regulation stability suffices |
Compared with MMBZ5235BS-7-F and BZX84-C6V8-7-F, BZT52C6V8TQ-7-F offers the smallest footprint (SOD523), lowest dynamic impedance (15 Ω), and tightest VZ tolerance (±6%), making it optimal for space-constrained, high-precision automotive voltage references.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage before breakdown for BZT52C6V8TQ-7-F?
The nominal zener voltage is 6.8 V, with a guaranteed range of 6.4 V to 7.2 V at 5 mA test current (IZT). Breakdown begins at the minimum VZ (6.4 V), and full regulation occurs above this threshold. The device is not rated for continuous operation below 6.4 V in reverse bias.
Does BZT52C6V8TQ-7-F meet AEC-Q200 requirements?
No - the "Q" suffix indicates automotive qualification capability, but BZT52C6V8TQ-7-F itself is not AEC-Q200 qualified. Per Diodes' documentation, only Q-suffix parts (e.g., BZT52C6V8TQ-7-F) are explicitly qualified; this part is JEDEC-qualified and manufactured in IATF 16949 facilities, supporting PPAP-ready automotive design-in.
How does thermal derating affect power dissipation above 25°C?
Per Figure 1 in DS30502 Rev. 18-2, power dissipation linearly derates from 300 mW at 25 °C to 0 mW at 150 °C, yielding a slope of –2.5 mW/°C. At 100 °C ambient, maximum allowable PD is 112.5 mW (300 – 2.5 × 75).
Is the SOD523 package compatible with standard reflow profiles?
Yes - the SOD523 package is rated for moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL-1) per J-STD-020, meaning it may be stored indefinitely at ≤30 °C/60% RH and processed using standard Pb-free reflow profiles (peak 260 °C, 10-second dwell) without baking.
