Product details
Overview
BZT52C8V2-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount Zener diode with nominal 8.2 V zener voltage, 5 mA test current, 15 Ω maximum zener impedance at 5 mA, 0.7 µA maximum reverse current at 6.2 V, and ±5% voltage tolerance. It delivers precise voltage regulation in low-power analog reference and overvoltage protection circuits for industrial sensor interfaces and power supply feedback loops.
For engineers reviewing the BZT52C8V2-7 datasheet, BZT52C8V2-7 pinout, BZT52C8V2-7 application, or BZT52C8V2-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage accuracy (±5%), thermal resistance (338 °C/W), SOD123 package compatibility, and AEC-Q101 qualification status for automotive-grade reliability validation.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable voltage across its terminals under varying load and temperature conditions. Its planar die construction ensures consistent breakdown characteristics, while the SOD123 package supports automated assembly and provides defined thermal performance on FR-4 PCBs with 1-inch copper pad layout.
The device exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +3.2 mV/°C near its 8.2 V operating point, enabling predictable drift compensation in temperature-sensitive references. Reverse leakage remains below 0.7 µA at VR = 6.2 V, supporting low-quiescent-current designs in battery-powered systems.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5231BS-7-F | Same 8.2 V nominal, but ±5% tolerance only at 20 mA test current; 30 Ω ZZT vs. 15 Ω | Higher impedance reduces regulation accuracy in low-current feedback paths | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs tight regulation needs and board space allows larger SOT-23 footprint |
| BZX84-C8V2 | Same 8.2 V, ±5%, but rated for 350 mW only; no AEC-Q101 qualification | Not suitable for automotive environments requiring extended temperature reliability validation | Prefer for commercial-grade consumer products where qualification overhead is unnecessary |
Compared with MMBZ5231BS-7-F and BZX84-C8V2, BZT52C8V2-7 offers superior regulation stability (15 Ω ZZT), automotive qualification, and tighter thermal derating behavior-making it optimal for safety-critical or high-precision analog subsystems.

FAQ
What is the maximum power dissipation of BZT52C8V2-7 at +75°C ambient?
The device is rated for 500 mW power dissipation at lead temperature (TL) = +75°C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This value assumes direct thermal coupling to a heatsink or thermally enhanced PCB pad, not ambient air convection alone.
Does BZT52C8V2-7 have polarity marking, and how is it identified?
Yes - the SOD123 package features a visible cathode band on the body, aligned with the cathode terminal. When viewed from the top with the band on the left, the left pin is cathode and the right pin is anode, per standard SOD123 orientation diagrams in the datasheet.
Is BZT52C8V2-7 suitable for use in automotive applications?
Yes - it is explicitly qualified to AEC-Q101 standards, covering stress tests including high-temperature reverse bias, temperature cycling, and unbiased highly accelerated stress testing, making it approved for automotive body electronics and powertrain auxiliary circuits.
What is the typical zener voltage drift over temperature for BZT52C8V2-7?
The temperature coefficient is +3.2 mV/°C at the nominal 8.2 V operating point, meaning voltage increases by approximately 3.2 mV per degree Celsius rise in junction temperature - a value confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Temperature Coefficient @ IZTC".
