Product details
Overview
BZT52H-A47X from Nexperia is a precision Zener voltage regulator diode in SOD123F package, designed for stable 47 V reference and overvoltage clamping in low-power analog and power supply circuits. It delivers ±1 % tolerance at IZ = 5 mA, 32.9 Ω typical differential resistance, and 0.5 A non-repetitive peak reverse current - used in industrial sensor signal conditioning and DC-DC feedback loops.
For engineers reviewing the BZT52H-A47X datasheet, BZT52H-A47X pinout, BZT52H-A47X application, or BZT52H-A47X equivalent, this page provides verified electrical parameters, thermal performance data, cathode/anode terminal mapping, and validated alternatives for 47 V regulation in surface-mounted designs.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown with tightly controlled VZ = 46.53 V to 47.47 V (±1 %) at 5 mA test current, exhibiting a temperature coefficient of +0.05 mV/K and 40 μA maximum reverse leakage at 37.6 V. Its low 32.9 Ω dynamic impedance ensures minimal output voltage drift under load variation.
Designed for SMD assembly on FR4 PCBs, it supports 830 mW total power dissipation at Tamb ≤ 25 °C with 70 K/W junction-to-solder-point thermal resistance. The SOD123F package enables compact placement while maintaining reliable thermal transfer via the cathode pad.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 46.53 V to 47.47 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines precise regulation point for feedback networks |
| Tolerance | ±1 % - enables high-accuracy voltage references without external trimming |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | 32.9 Ω typical - limits output voltage change to <165 mV per 5 mA load shift |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤40 μA at VR = 37.6 V - ensures low standby power loss in always-on circuits |
| Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 830 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C - supports continuous operation in compact PCB layouts |
| Non-repetitive Peak Current (IZSM) | 0.5 A for tp = 100 μs - provides transient overvoltage protection in surge-prone inputs |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | −65 °C to +150 °C - enables use in extended-temperature industrial environments |
Pinout & Package
SOD123F surface-mount plastic package: 2.5–2.7 mm length, 1.0–1.2 mm width, 0.70–0.55 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 |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; reverse-biased configuration enables Zener operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High-precision voltage reference | ±1 % VZ tolerance enables direct replacement of trimmed references in feedback paths |

Applications
| Industrial Sensor Signal Conditioning | DC-DC Converter Feedback Reference |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Stabilizing analog output of pressure transducers exposed to 40–85 °C ambient swings. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener diode provides fixed 47 V reference for op-amp gain-setting resistors and ADC input scaling. Use Value: ±1 % VZ tolerance and +0.05 mV/K TC ensure <0.3 % full-scale error across temperature without calibration. |
Use Scenario: Regulating isolated 48 V output of flyback converter powering PLC I/O modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Connected between secondary-side optocoupler input and ground to clamp feedback voltage at 47 V. Use Value: 0.5 A IZSM absorbs 100 μs surges from transformer leakage, preventing optocoupler saturation during line transients. |
| Overvoltage Protection for MCU GPIO | Reference Voltage for Precision ADC |
Use Scenario: Protecting 3.3 V microcontroller pins against accidental 24 V field-wiring faults. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Placed anode-to-GPIO, cathode-to-24 V rail to shunt fault current when voltage exceeds 47 V. Use Value: 830 mW Ptot sustains 17.5 mA fault current continuously, enabling fail-safe detection before system shutdown. |
Use Scenario: Generating stable reference for 16-bit SAR ADC measuring battery voltage in energy metering. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supplies 47 V reference to resistive divider that scales 0–100 V input to 0–4.7 V ADC range. Use Value: 32.9 Ω rdif limits reference droop to <0.165 V at 5 mA divider current, preserving 14-bit effective resolution. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZT52H-B47X | ±2 % VZ tolerance (46.1 V–47.9 V), 42.0 Ω rdif, same SOD123F package | Acceptable where 47 V accuracy <±2 % suffices; higher rdif increases regulation error under load | Select for cost-sensitive designs where tighter tolerance is unnecessary and 0.5 A surge rating remains critical |
| MMSZ47ET1G | ±5 % VZ (44.65 V–49.35 V), 45 Ω rdif, SOD-123 package (mechanically identical but non-qualified for automotive) | Lower precision; not rated for industrial temp range (−65 °C to +150 °C) | Use only in commercial-grade applications with relaxed accuracy and temperature requirements |
Compared with BZT52H-A47X, the BZT52H-B47X trades 1 % tolerance for broader availability and lower cost, while MMSZ47ET1G sacrifices both precision and temperature capability for legacy design continuity - making the A47X optimal for new industrial systems demanding ±1 % stability across extreme ambient conditions.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current for BZT52H-A47X?
The BZT52H-A47X is a Zener diode intended for reverse-bias operation; its forward conduction is incidental. The absolute maximum forward current is 250 mA per limiting values table, but forward voltage is only specified at 10 mA (≤0.9 V). Continuous forward bias is not recommended for regulation use.
Can BZT52H-A47X be used in place of a 47 V Zener with ±5 % tolerance?
Yes - the BZT52H-A47X meets all electrical and mechanical requirements of ±5 % 47 V Zeners while offering superior performance: ±1 % tolerance, lower 32.9 Ω dynamic resistance, and guaranteed 0.5 A surge rating. No layout or thermal redesign is needed due to identical SOD123F footprint and thermal characteristics.
How does the temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy over −40 °C to +85 °C?
With a specified SZ of +0.05 mV/K, the BZT52H-A47X exhibits ~2.25 mV total VZ shift across 45 K ambient change - less than 0.005 % of 47 V. This negligible drift maintains regulation integrity without compensation circuitry in most industrial applications.
Is the SOD123F package compatible with standard reflow soldering profiles?
Yes - Nexperia specifies reflow soldering as the only recommended method for SOD123F. The package supports JEDEC J-STD-020D-compliant profiles, with peak temperatures up to 260 °C. Figure 12 provides exact solder land dimensions (2.9 mm × 1.6 mm per pad) and paste deposit guidelines for reliable assembly.
