Product details
Overview
BZT52H-A3V0-QX from Nexperia is a precision Zener voltage regulator diode in SOD123F package, rated for 3.0 V nominal breakdown voltage at 5 mA with ±1 % tolerance, 95 Ω differential resistance, and qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive power rail stabilization and overvoltage protection.
For engineers reviewing the BZT52H-A3V0-QX datasheet, BZT52H-A3V0-QX pinout, BZT52H-A3V0-QX application, or BZT52H-A3V0-QX equivalent, this part supports low-power voltage reference, ESD-robust clamping, and stable biasing in space-constrained automotive ECUs, sensor interfaces, and industrial control modules where tight voltage regulation and thermal reliability are required.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse-biased breakdown mode to maintain a stable 3.0 V reference across its cathode-anode terminals under controlled current conditions (IZ = 5 mA). Its ±1 % tolerance and low 95 Ω dynamic impedance ensure minimal output variation under load transients.
Designed for surface-mount use on FR4 PCBs with single-sided copper, it delivers 830 mW total power dissipation at Tamb ≤ 25 °C and features a negative temperature coefficient of −3.5 mV/K, enabling predictable drift compensation in temperature-sensitive analog circuits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Nominal Zener Voltage | 3.0 V at IZ = 5 mA - provides precise DC reference for low-voltage logic supply monitoring and ADC reference buffering |
| Voltage Tolerance | ±1 % - ensures consistent regulation across production batches without post-assembly trimming |
| Differential Resistance | 95 Ω max - limits output voltage shift under ±1 mA current variation, critical for stable feedback loops |
| Forward Voltage | 0.9 V max at IF = 10 mA - enables reliable anode-cathode conduction during reverse-polarity fault detection |
| Total Power Dissipation | 830 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C - supports continuous operation in compact automotive modules with limited heatsinking |
| Junction Temperature Range | −65 °C to +150 °C - validated for under-hood environments and industrial ambient extremes |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes - certified for automotive-grade reliability including HTOL, TC, and HAST stress testing |
Pinout & Package
The BZT52H-A3V0-QX is housed in a compact SOD123F surface-mount plastic package (3.6 mm × 2.7 mm × 1.2 mm) with flat leads optimized for automated reflow assembly and high-density PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Marked side) | Cathode (K) | Connected to regulated output node; marking bar identifies polarity for correct orientation during placement |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; reverse-bias current flows from cathode to anode during regulation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automotive qualification | AEC-Q101 compliant - meets stress test requirements for vibration, thermal cycling, and humidity exposure in vehicle electronics |
| Precision voltage regulation | ±1 % tolerance at 3.0 V - eliminates need for external trimming in battery monitoring and CAN transceiver bias networks |
| Thermal performance | Rth(j-a) = 330 K/W - enables operation up to 150 °C junction temperature with standard FR4 mounting |
| Low leakage stability | IR ≤ 10 μA at VR = 1 V - ensures minimal standby current draw in always-on automotive subsystems |
| Robust surge handling | IZSM = 6.0 A (tp = 100 μs) - clamps transient overvoltages without degradation in infotainment power rails |
Applications
| Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) | Industrial Sensor Signal Conditioning |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZT52C3V0-Q | ±5 % tolerance, 100 Ω rdif, same SOD123F package | Lower cost for non-critical biasing; unsuitable for precision reference paths | Select when budget constraints outweigh regulation accuracy requirements |
| MMSZ5226B-TP | ±5 % tolerance, 300 mW Ptot, SOD-123 package (slightly larger footprint) | Higher thermal resistance (400 K/W), reduced surge capability (IZSM = 4.5 A) | Choose only if legacy design reuse mandates identical pin compatibility with older MMSZ series |
Compared with BZT52H-A3V0-QX, the BZT52C3V0-Q trades ±1 % accuracy for broader tolerance and higher leakage, while MMSZ5226B-TP lacks AEC-Q101 qualification and delivers inferior thermal performance-making the original part optimal for new automotive and high-reliability industrial designs requiring guaranteed 3.0 V precision.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse current before breakdown for BZT52H-A3V0-QX?
At VR = 1 V, the reverse current is ≤10 μA; at VR = 2.5 V, it remains ≤1 μA. This ultra-low leakage ensures minimal power loss in always-on automotive subsystems and preserves battery life in remote sensors.
Can BZT52H-A3V0-QX be used in parallel for higher power dissipation?
No-Zener diodes exhibit negative temperature coefficients and mismatched breakdown voltages, causing current hogging and thermal runaway. Use a single device within its 830 mW rating or select a higher-power alternative like PZTA44.
Is the SOD123F package compatible with standard reflow profiles?
Yes-Nexperia specifies reflow soldering only, with peak temperature ≤260 °C and time above 217 °C ≤60 seconds. The package outline matches IPC-7351B SOIC-2 footprint standards for seamless integration into automated SMT lines.
How does the −3.5 mV/K temperature coefficient affect circuit performance?
Over −40 °C to +125 °C, the Zener voltage shifts by approximately −0.35 V, resulting in a 3.0 V reference drifting to 2.65 V. This must be compensated in precision references using dual-diode cancellation or temperature-aware calibration algorithms.
