Product details
Overview
BZT52C7V5-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount 7.5 V Zener diode in SOD123 package, rated for 500 mW power dissipation at TL = +75°C and 370 mW at TA = +25°C, with 15 Ω typical Zener impedance at 5 mA test current and ±5% voltage tolerance (7.0–7.9 V). It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in low-power analog and digital supply rails.
For engineers reviewing the BZT52C7V5-7 datasheet, BZT52C7V5-7 pinout, BZT52C7V5-7 application, or BZT52C7V5-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, thermal resistance (RθJA = 338 °C/W), reverse leakage at VR = 5.3 V (≤5 µA), temperature coefficient (+2.5 mV/°C), and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable voltage across its terminals under varying load or input conditions. Its planar die construction ensures consistent breakdown characteristics and low dynamic impedance (ZZT = 15 Ω @ 5 mA, ZZK = 80 Ω @ 1 mA).
The device exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +2.5 mV/°C near 7.5 V, enabling predictable drift compensation in temperature-sensitive references. It is qualified to AEC-Q101, confirming suitability for automotive electronics where thermal cycling and long-term stability are critical.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5227BS-7-F | Same 7.5 V nominal, but SOT-323 package (smaller footprint, higher RθJA = 400 °C/W) | Suitable for space-constrained PCBs; less thermal margin in high-power density layouts | Select when board area is critical and power dissipation remains below 200 mW |
| BZX84-C7V5-7 | 7.5 V Zener, SOT-23 package, 350 mW rating, RθJA = 375 °C/W, no AEC-Q101 qualification | Lower cost for commercial-grade applications; not validated for automotive temperature cycling | Prefer for non-automotive consumer or industrial designs where qualification is not required |
Compared with MMBZ5227BS-7-F and BZX84-C7V5-7, BZT52C7V5-7 offers superior thermal performance (RθJA = 338 °C/W) and automotive qualification, making it optimal for under-hood electronics and safety-critical biasing where long-term stability and thermal robustness are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage (VR) at which leakage current is specified for BZT52C7V5-7?
The datasheet specifies IR ≤ 5 µA at VR = 5.3 V, which is 70% of the nominal Zener voltage (7.5 V). This test condition ensures reliable blocking behavior well below breakdown, supporting use in precision bias networks where leakage must remain negligible.
Can BZT52C7V5-7 be used in parallel for higher power handling?
No - Zener diodes exhibit negative temperature coefficients at low voltages and positive ones above ~5.6 V, but manufacturing tolerances cause unequal current sharing. Parallel connection risks thermal runaway; derating or external ballast resistors are required if higher power is needed.
Is the SOD123 package compatible with standard reflow profiles for lead-free soldering?
Yes - the device is qualified for lead-free assembly per J-STD-020, with moisture sensitivity level 1. It withstands peak reflow temperatures up to 260°C and supports standard Pb-free profiles without delamination or parametric shift.
Does BZT52C7V5-7 have a defined capacitance value relevant for high-frequency applications?
No specific capacitance is listed in the datasheet for BZT52C7V5-7. Figure 5 shows typical total capacitance for the series is ~15 pF at 1 MHz and VR = 1 V for 7 V-class devices, but this is not guaranteed or characterized per part number - design margins should account for ±30% variation.
