Product details
Overview
BZT52H-A10X from Nexperia is a ±1 % tolerance Zener voltage regulator diode in SOD123F package, rated for 10 V nominal breakdown voltage at 5 mA, 830 mW total power dissipation, and 70 Ω maximum differential resistance - used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in low-power DC rails.
For engineers reviewing the BZT52H-A10X datasheet, BZT52H-A10X pinout, BZT52H-A10X application, or BZT52H-A10X equivalent, this page delivers verified Zener parameters, thermal resistance (70 K/W junction-to-solder point), reverse current (≤0.1 μA at 7.6 V), temperature coefficient (+0.2 mV/K), and SOD123F footprint compatibility for PCB layout and reliability validation.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse-bias breakdown mode to maintain stable 10 V regulation across load and line variations, with tight ±1 % initial tolerance and low 70 Ω dynamic impedance ensuring minimal output voltage drift under changing current conditions.
Designed for surface-mount use on FR4 PCBs with single-sided copper, it leverages a 1 cm² cathode pad for thermal management, achieving 70 K/W junction-to-solder-point thermal resistance and supporting continuous operation up to 150 °C junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Breakdown Voltage (VZ) | 9.90 V to 10.10 V at IZ = 5 mA - ensures precise 10 V reference within ±1 % tolerance for analog sensing and supply monitoring. |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | 70 Ω max at IZ = 5 mA - limits output voltage variation to <0.35 V per 5 mA current change, critical for stable biasing. |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 830 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C - supports sustained regulation in compact layouts with adequate copper area. |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤0.1 μA at VR = 7.6 V - guarantees negligible leakage in standby or high-impedance feedback paths. |
| Temperature Coefficient (SZ) | +0.2 mV/K at IZ = 5 mA - enables predictable, low-drift voltage reference over industrial temperature range (−65 °C to +150 °C). |
| Junction-to-Solder-Point Rth | 70 K/W - allows direct thermal coupling to PCB copper, enabling reliable power handling without heatsinking. |
Pinout & Package
SOD123F surface-mount plastic package: 2-terminal, flat lead, 3.4–3.6 mm length × 1.5–1.7 mm width × 0.9–1.0 mm height; cathode marked by bar on top surface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (K) | Connected to regulated output node; marking bar identifies this terminal for correct PCB orientation and polarity-sensitive placement. |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; forms reverse-biased junction enabling controlled Zener conduction. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ±1 % VZ tolerance | Enables single-diode replacement of trimmed references in cost-sensitive 10 V supply monitors and ADC references. |
| 830 mW power rating | Supports 83 mA max Zener current at 10 V, sufficient for driving optocoupler LEDs or op-amp bias networks. |
| 70 K/W Rth(j-sp) | Permits direct thermal path to PCB copper, eliminating need for thermal vias in space-constrained consumer power supplies. |
| Low 0.1 μA IR at 7.6 V | Minimizes error in high-gain feedback loops and preserves battery life in always-on sensor nodes. |
| SOD123F footprint | Compatible with standard reflow profiles and automated pick-and-place; 2.8 mm × 1.2 mm solder land matches IPC-7351B density level A. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZT52C10 | ±5 % tolerance, 150 Ω rdif, 500 mW Ptot | Higher voltage drift under load; suitable only for non-critical biasing where cost > precision. | Select when budget constraints outweigh regulation accuracy requirements and thermal margin is ample. |
| MMSZ5240B | ±5 % tolerance, SOD-123 package (not SOD123F), 500 mW rating | Non-identical footprint; requires PCB redesign; higher thermal resistance (150 K/W j-a). | Choose only if legacy MMSZ footprint compatibility is mandatory and power dissipation remains below 300 mW. |
Compared with BZT52C10 and MMSZ5240B, BZT52H-A10X delivers tighter tolerance, lower impedance, and superior thermal performance in the same SOD123F footprint - making it optimal for new designs requiring robust 10 V regulation without layout revision or derating.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous Zener current for BZT52H-A10X at 25 °C ambient?
The maximum continuous Zener current is 83 mA, calculated from 830 mW / 10 V. This assumes mounting on an FR4 PCB with a 1 cm² cathode pad; derating is required above 25 °C ambient per the 70 K/W junction-to-solder-point thermal resistance.
Does BZT52H-A10X meet automotive qualification standards?
No. Per Nexperia's revision history (Rev. 7, Jan 2023), the BZT52H series is explicitly designated as non-automotive qualified. Automotive-grade alternatives (e.g., BZT52H-Q series) must be selected for AEC-Q200-compliant applications.
How does the +0.2 mV/K temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy over −40 °C to +85 °C?
Over that range, the coefficient causes a +12.5 mV shift (0.2 mV/K × 62.5 K), resulting in a worst-case VZ of 10.1125 V - still within the ±1 % (±100 mV) initial tolerance band, confirming suitability for industrial-grade stability.
Can BZT52H-A10X replace BZX84-C10 in an existing SOD-323 design?
No. BZT52H-A10X uses SOD123F (3.5 mm × 1.6 mm), while BZX84-C10 uses SOD-323 (2.7 mm × 1.4 mm). The larger SOD123F footprint requires PCB pad redesign; electrical differences (±1 % vs ±5 %, 70 Ω vs 150 Ω rdif) also impact performance.
