Product details
Overview
BZT52H-A3V0X from Nexperia is a ±1 % tolerance Zener diode in SOD123F package, designed for precision voltage regulation at 3.0 V nominal breakdown voltage with 95 Ω typical differential resistance and ≤0.9 V forward voltage at 10 mA. It delivers stable reference voltage in low-power analog circuits, power supply feedback paths, and overvoltage protection nodes.
For engineers reviewing the BZT52H-A3V0X datasheet, BZT52H-A3V0X pinout, BZT52H-A3V0X application, or BZT52H-A3V0X equivalent, this page provides verified Zener voltage, thermal resistance (150 K/W junction-to-solder-point), reverse current (≤10 μA at 1 V), temperature coefficient (−3.5 to 0.0 mV/K), and SOD123F footprint compatibility for PCB layout validation.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse-biased breakdown mode with a tightly controlled 3.0 V ±1 % nominal Zener voltage at 5 mA test current. Its low 95 Ω differential resistance ensures minimal output voltage variation under load changes, while the −3.5 to 0.0 mV/K temperature coefficient enables predictable drift behavior across −65 °C to +150 °C ambient range.
Designed for surface-mount use on FR4 PCBs with single-sided copper, it supports 830 mW total power dissipation at Tamb ≤ 25 °C and exhibits 150 K/W thermal resistance from junction to solder point-critical for thermal management in compact power rails and reference circuits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 3.0 V ±1 % at IZ = 5 mA - ensures precise voltage clamping in feedback loops and reference generation |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | 95 Ω max at IZ = 5 mA - maintains tight regulation under varying load currents |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤10 μA at VR = 1 V - guarantees low leakage in standby and low-power modes |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | ≤0.9 V at IF = 10 mA - enables efficient anode-cathode conduction during forward bias |
| Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 830 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C - defines maximum continuous DC power handling on standard FR4 PCB |
| Thermal Resistance (Rth(j-sp)) | 150 K/W junction-to-solder-point - determines temperature rise above pad temperature during operation |
| Temperature Coefficient (SZ) | −3.5 to 0.0 mV/K at IZ = 5 mA - quantifies voltage drift per degree Celsius for stability analysis |

Applications
| Industrial Power Monitoring | USB-C Port Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Monitoring 3.3 V rail voltage in PLC I/O modules using resistor-divider + ADC input. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener reference providing stable 3.0 V clamp to protect ADC input from overvoltage transients.

Use Scenario: Clamping CC line voltage in USB-C receptacle designs to prevent controller damage. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance (450 pF) Zener shunt protecting USB-C CC logic-level signals from ESD and hot-plug spikes. Use Value: Limits CC line to ≤3.0 V with <10 μA leakage at 1 V, ensuring no interference with 500 mA VCONN detection timing. |
| IoT Sensor Reference | White Goods Control Board |
Use Scenario: Providing stable bias for op-amp comparators in battery-powered smoke detectors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision 3.0 V reference source enabling accurate threshold detection of analog sensor outputs. Use Value: Delivers <±10 mV drift over −25 °C to +70 °C due to −3.5 to 0.0 mV/K coefficient, extending calibration interval. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZT52C3V0 | ±5 % tolerance, 95 Ω rdif, same SOD123F package | Acceptable where 3.0 V ±0.15 V drift is permissible (e.g., non-critical biasing) | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs voltage accuracy requirements |
| MMSZ4675 | 3.0 V ±5 %, 350 mW Ptot, SOD-123 package (not SOD123F) | Lower power handling limits use to ≤4 mA loads; different thermal profile | Choose only if legacy design uses MMSZ4675 footprint and 350 mW suffices |
Compared with BZT52H-A3V0X, BZT52C3V0 trades ±1 % accuracy for lower unit cost in non-critical regulation, while MMSZ4675 requires PCB redesign due to differing thermal pad geometry and cannot sustain 830 mW dissipation in identical layouts.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse current at 1 V for BZT52H-A3V0X?
The reverse current is ≤10 μA at VR = 1 V and Tj = 25 °C, as specified in Table 8 of the datasheet. This low leakage ensures minimal power loss in always-on reference circuits and preserves battery life in portable devices.
Can BZT52H-A3V0X be used in automotive applications?
No-BZT52H-A3V0X is explicitly designated as non-automotive qualified per Revision History section 13. It lacks AEC-Q200 stress testing and automotive-grade qualification. For automotive use, Nexperia offers separate -Q qualified variants such as BZT52H-A3V0X-Q.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to solder point?
Rth(j-sp) is 150 K/W, measured with the cathode soldered to a 1 cm² tin-plated copper pad on FR4 PCB. This value enables accurate junction temperature estimation during thermal design and confirms suitability for 830 mW operation with appropriate pad layout.
How does the temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy over temperature?
With SZ ranging from −3.5 to 0.0 mV/K at IZ = 5 mA, the Zener voltage shifts by up to −10.5 mV over a 30 °C rise (e.g., 25 °C to 55 °C). This drift is fully characterized and predictable, allowing compensation in high-stability designs via resistor networks or digital calibration.
