Product details
Overview
BZT52-C75J from Nexperia is a 75 V ±5 % tolerance Zener diode in SOD123 surface-mount package, designed for precision voltage regulation and reference functions in low-power analog circuits. It delivers 590 mW total power dissipation at 25 °C ambient, exhibits 400 Ω maximum differential resistance at IZ = 2 mA, and maintains stable reverse breakdown with <0.05 μA reverse current at VR = 57 V - used in power supply feedback loops and sensor biasing networks.
For engineers reviewing the BZT52-C75J datasheet, BZT52-C75J pinout, BZT52-C75J application, or BZT52-C75J equivalent, key selection criteria include its 75 V nominal Zener voltage with ±5 % tolerance, SOD123 thermal performance (Rth(j-a) = 350 K/W), cathode-anode polarity marking, and suitability for non-automotive industrial voltage reference designs requiring stable 75 V clamping.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain a stable 75 V reference across varying load currents. Its temperature coefficient of +52.5 mV/K at IZ = 5 mA indicates positive drift with junction temperature, requiring compensation in high-stability references.
The device uses silicon planar epitaxial construction with low parasitic capacitance (35 pF at 1 MHz, VR = 0 V) and supports non-repetitive peak reverse current up to 0.20 A (100 μs pulse). It is rated for operation from −55 °C to +150 °C ambient, with maximum junction temperature limited to 150 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener voltage VZ | 75 V nominal at IZ = 2 mA; ±5 % tolerance ensures regulation within 70–79 V under production conditions |
| Differential resistance rdif | 400 Ω max at IZ = 2 mA; defines output impedance and load regulation error in reference circuits |
| Reverse current IR | <0.05 μA at VR = 57 V; enables ultra-low quiescent current in battery-powered voltage monitors |
| Total power dissipation Ptot | 590 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C on FR4 PCB with 1 cm² cathode pad; sets maximum continuous DC power handling |
| Thermal resistance Rth(j-a) | 350 K/W in free air; determines junction-to-ambient temperature rise per watt, critical for derating above 25 °C |
| Forward voltage VF | 0.9 V max at IF = 10 mA; defines conduction loss when used in series forward-biased protection paths |
| Non-repetitive peak reverse current IZSM | 0.20 A at tp = 100 μs; supports transient overvoltage clamping without permanent damage |
Pinout & Package
SOD123 plastic surface-mount package: 2-terminal, flat lead, 2.80 mm × 1.70 mm body, 0.70 mm lead pitch, cathode marked by band on end.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (K) | Connected to regulated output node; marking band identifies this terminal; carries reverse current during Zener operation |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; completes reverse-bias path; must be routed with low-inductance trace for transient response |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor MMBZ5275B | 75 V ±5 %, 350 mW Ptot, SOD-123, but higher rdif (500 Ω max) and wider tempco (±3.5 mV/K) | Less stable under varying load/temperature; suitable only where cost outweighs regulation precision | Select when legacy ON Semi BOM compatibility is required and 75 V tolerance is acceptable without tight rdif control |
| Vishay BZX84-C75 | 75 V ±5 %, 300 mW Ptot, SOT-23, lower power rating and smaller thermal mass than SOD123 | Limited to sub-100 mW continuous operation; unsuitable for sustained 75 V clamp duty cycles | Choose only for space-constrained designs where peak power remains below 150 mW and thermal margin is verified |
Compared with MMBZ5275B and BZX84-C75, BZT52-C75J offers superior thermal robustness (590 mW vs. 350/300 mW) and tighter differential resistance (400 Ω vs. 500/600 Ω), making it preferred for industrial-grade 75 V reference and clamping where long-term stability and power handling are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current for BZT52-C75J at 75 V?
The device is not rated for continuous reverse current at 75 V - it operates in Zener breakdown mode with specified test current IZ = 2 mA. Continuous operation must stay within Ptot = 590 mW limit, meaning average reverse current must remain ≤7.87 mA (590 mW ÷ 75 V) at 25 °C ambient with proper PCB thermal design.
Can BZT52-C75J be used in automotive applications?
No - BZT52-C75J is explicitly non-automotive qualified per Nexperia's revision history (v.2, October 2025). It lacks AEC-Q101 qualification, automotive-grade screening, and extended temperature validation beyond −55 °C to +150 °C ambient. Automotive designs require Nexperia's -Q qualified variants such as BZT52-C75J-Q.
How does the cathode marking appear on the SOD123 package?
The cathode is identified by a distinct marking band located at one end of the SOD123 body. Per Figure 11 and Table 2, Pin 1 is cathode (K), and the band aligns with the cathode terminal - visible as a dark stripe or printed bar on the top surface, adjacent to the shorter lead edge in standard orientation.
What is the typical Zener voltage drift over temperature for BZT52-C75J?
At IZ = 5 mA, the temperature coefficient is +52.5 mV/K (Table 10), meaning VZ increases by approximately 52.5 mV per Kelvin rise in junction temperature. Over a 100 °C range (25 °C to 125 °C), this yields ~5.25 V total drift - a key factor in unbuffered reference designs requiring external compensation.
