Product details
Overview
BZT52C8V2Q-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is an AEC-Q101 qualified 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 leakage at 6.2 V, and ±5% voltage tolerance. It delivers precise voltage regulation in automotive power supply monitoring and ECU reference circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZT52C8V2Q-7-F datasheet, BZT52C8V2Q-7-F pinout, BZT52C8V2Q-7-F application, or BZT52C8V2Q-7-F equivalent, this part supports stable 8.2 V clamping in low-power bias networks, overvoltage protection for microcontroller I/O, and precision reference generation where thermal stability and automotive qualification are required.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain a stable 8.2 V reference across its cathode–anode terminals under controlled current conditions. Its 15 Ω dynamic impedance at 5 mA ensures minimal voltage deviation during load transients, while the −3.5 mV/°C temperature coefficient enables predictable drift compensation in ambient-varying environments.
The device uses planar die construction in an SOD123 package with matte tin–plated alloy 42 leads, supporting automated reflow assembly and meeting J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity. Its 370 mW power dissipation at 25°C and 500 mW at 75°C allow operation in compact PCB layouts without forced cooling.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5231BS-7-F | Same 8.2 V nominal, but ±5% tolerance, 20 Ω ZZT, 1 µA IR at 6.2 V, SOT-23 package | Higher thermal resistance (RθJA = 350 °C/W) limits power handling in dense layouts | Select when board space allows larger SOT-23 footprint and higher leakage is acceptable |
| BZX84-C8V2 | 8.2 V nominal, ±5%, 20 Ω ZZT, 0.5 µA IR at 6.2 V, SOT-23 package, no AEC-Q101 qualification | Lacks automotive qualification and has higher impedance - unsuitable for safety-critical ECU use | Acceptable only for commercial-grade consumer products with non-automotive reliability requirements |
Compared with MMBZ5231BS-7-F and BZX84-C8V2, BZT52C8V2Q-7-F offers superior thermal performance (RθJL = 150 °C/W), guaranteed AEC-Q101 compliance, and lower zener impedance - making it the preferred choice for automotive power monitoring and reference applications demanding long-term reliability.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage (VR) that BZT52C8V2Q-7-F can withstand before breakdown?
The device is rated for 8.2 V nominal zener voltage at 5 mA test current, with a guaranteed breakdown range of 7.7–8.7 V. It does not specify a separate "maximum reverse voltage" rating; operation beyond 8.7 V at rated current will exceed specified limits and may cause thermal runaway if power dissipation exceeds 370 mW at 25°C ambient.
Is BZT52C8V2Q-7-F compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes - it features matte tin finish over alloy 42 leadframe, qualified to JEDEC J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity, and fully compliant with lead-free reflow profiles up to 260°C peak temperature. The SOD123 package is designed for compatibility with standard automated assembly equipment.
How does the −3.5 mV/°C temperature coefficient affect circuit performance?
This coefficient means the zener voltage decreases by 3.5 mV for every 1°C rise in junction temperature. In a 125°C operating environment, the voltage shift is approximately −350 mV from 25°C baseline, resulting in ~7.85 V output. Designers must account for this drift in precision references using calibration or compensation techniques.
Can BZT52C8V2Q-7-F replace a 9.1 V Zener in an existing design?
No - it is not a drop-in replacement. The 8.2 V nominal rating differs from 9.1 V by over 10%, and its 7.7–8.7 V tolerance range does not overlap with typical 9.1 V Zener specifications (8.5–9.6 V). Substituting would shift clamping thresholds, potentially causing incorrect fault detection or reference errors.
