Product details
Overview
BZT52H-A5V6-QX from Nexperia is a ±1 % tolerance Zener diode in SOD123F package, rated for 5.6 V nominal breakdown voltage at 5 mA, 400 Ω maximum differential resistance, and 830 mW total power dissipation. It is AEC-Q101 qualified and used for precision voltage regulation in automotive body control modules and sensor biasing circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZT52H-A5V6-QX datasheet, BZT52H-A5V6-QX pinout, BZT52H-A5V6-QX application, or BZT52H-A5V6-QX equivalent, this page delivers verified Zener parameters, thermal performance data, automotive qualification status, and real-world design context for voltage reference and overvoltage protection functions.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse-bias breakdown mode with a tightly controlled 5.6 V nominal Zener voltage (VZ) at IZ = 5 mA, exhibiting a temperature coefficient of −2.0 to +2.5 mV/K and 1 μA maximum reverse current (IR) at VR = 4.0 V.
Its SOD123F package provides low thermal resistance (Rth(j-sp) = 70 K/W) and supports surface-mount reflow assembly. The device meets AEC-Q101 stress test requirements for automotive discrete semiconductors, including operating junction temperature up to 150 °C and storage temperature range of −65 to +150 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 5.54 V to 5.66 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines stable regulation point with ±1 % tolerance |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | ≤ 400 Ω - ensures minimal output voltage shift under load current variation |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤ 1 μA at VR = 4.0 V - guarantees low leakage in standby or sensing circuits |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 830 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling on standard FR4 PCB |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | ≤ 0.9 V at IF = 10 mA - enables use as polarity-sensitive clamp or series diode in dual-function designs |
| Thermal Resistance (Rth(j-sp)) | 70 K/W - quantifies junction-to-solder-point heat transfer efficiency for thermal layout planning |
| Non-repetitive Peak Reverse Current (IZSM) | 6.0 A at tp = 100 μs - supports transient surge suppression in automotive ESD protection networks |
Pinout & Package
The BZT52H-A5V6-QX is housed in a SOD123F surface-mount plastic package measuring 3.6 mm × 1.7 mm × 1.0 mm (L × W × H), with flat leads and cathode marked by a bar on the 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-bias configuration enables Zener conduction |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZT52H-B5V6-Q | ±2 % VZ tolerance (5.49 V–5.71 V); identical package and thermal specs | Acceptable where tighter regulation not required, e.g., non-critical power rail supervision | Select for cost-sensitive designs where ±2 % stability suffices and AEC-Q101 compliance remains mandatory |
| MMSZ5232B-TP | ±5 % VZ (5.32 V–5.88 V); SOD-123 package; no AEC-Q101 qualification | Limited to commercial-grade applications; higher VZ drift and unverified automotive reliability | Use only in non-automotive consumer or industrial systems where qualification is not mandated |
Compared with BZT52H-A5V6-QX, the BZT52H-B5V6-Q trades 1 % tolerance for lower unit cost while retaining full automotive qualification, whereas MMSZ5232B-TP offers broader VZ spread and lacks AEC-Q101 validation-making it unsuitable for safety-relevant vehicle subsystems.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation for BZT52H-A5V6-QX at 85 °C ambient?
At Tamb = 85 °C, derating applies: Ptot = 830 mW × (1 − (85 − 25)/125) = 332 mW. This value assumes mounting on FR4 PCB with 1 cm² cathode pad per datasheet condition [3], and must be validated against actual board thermal design using Rth(j-a) = 150 K/W.
Can BZT52H-A5V6-QX be used in parallel for higher power handling?
No-Zener diodes exhibit negative temperature coefficients and mismatched VZ tolerances, causing current hogging and thermal runaway when paralleled. For higher power, use a single higher-rated Zener or implement active regulation with a transistor-based shunt circuit.
Is the SOD123F package compatible with standard reflow profiles?
Yes-the SOD123F package is qualified for lead-free reflow per J-STD-020, with peak temperature up to 260 °C. The recommended footprint (2.9 mm × 1.6 mm solder land, 1.1 mm × 1.1 mm paste deposits) ensures reliable wetting and mechanical strength without tombstoning.
How does the −2.0 to +2.5 mV/K temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy over −40 °C to +125 °C?
Over this range, ΔVZ ≈ (125 − (−40)) × 2.5 mV/K = 412.5 mV worst-case drift, yielding ±7.4 % deviation from 5.6 V nominal. For tighter stability, pair with a temperature-compensated reference IC or select a Zener with near-zero tempco (e.g., 6.2 V types).
