Product details
Overview
BZT52H-A62-QX from Nexperia is a precision Zener voltage regulator diode in SOD123F package, rated for 62 V nominal breakdown voltage at 2 mA test current, ±1 % tolerance, 830 mW total power dissipation, and qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive voltage reference and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZT52H-A62-QX datasheet, BZT52H-A62-QX pinout, BZT52H-A62-QX application, or BZT52H-A62-QX equivalent, this device serves as a stable shunt reference in power supply feedback loops, ECU voltage monitoring, and CAN/LIN bus clamp networks where tight regulation and automotive-grade reliability are required.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse-bias breakdown mode with a specified 62 V nominal Zener voltage (VZ) at IZ = 2 mA, differential resistance of 400 Ω max, and temperature coefficient of +0.05 mV/K - indicating near-zero thermal drift in mid-voltage range. It exhibits low reverse leakage (<1 μA at VR = 50 V) and supports non-repetitive surge currents up to 0.3 A (100 μs pulse).
Designed for surface-mount use on FR4 PCBs with single-sided copper, its thermal resistance from junction to ambient is 330 K/W (free air) and 70 K/W to solder point, enabling reliable operation up to 150 °C junction temperature under defined layout conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 61.38 V to 62.62 V at IZ = 2 mA - ensures precise 62 V regulation within ±1 % tolerance for feedback sensing. |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | ≤ 400 Ω - maintains stable output voltage under varying load current in shunt regulation applications. |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 830 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C - defines maximum continuous DC power handling on standard FR4 PCB with 1 cm² cathode pad. |
| Reverse Current (IR) | < 1 μA at VR = 50 V - guarantees minimal quiescent current in standby or low-power monitoring circuits. |
| Non-repetitive Peak Reverse Current (IZSM) | 0.3 A for 100 μs - supports transient overvoltage clamping without failure in automotive load-dump scenarios. |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | −65 °C to +150 °C - enables deployment in under-hood automotive environments with wide thermal cycling. |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes - validated for automotive discrete semiconductor stress testing including HTGB, HTRB, and temperature cycling. |
Pinout & Package
SOD123F surface-mount plastic package: 2-terminal, flat lead, small outline (3.6 mm × 2.7 mm × 1.2 mm), cathode marked by bar on top surface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (K) | Connected to regulated output node; polarity marker determines correct orientation for reverse-bias operation. |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; completes shunt path when reverse voltage exceeds VZ. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ±1 % Zener voltage tolerance | Enables high-accuracy voltage references without external trimming in automotive sensor signal conditioning. |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validates robustness for engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS modules requiring automotive-grade reliability. |
| 830 mW power rating | Supports sustained shunt regulation in 12 V/24 V systems with adequate PCB copper area for thermal management. |
| SOD123F footprint | Compatible with standard reflow processes and automated placement; occupies < 10 mm² board area for space-constrained ECUs. |
| Low temperature coefficient (+0.05 mV/K) | Minimizes VZ drift across −40 °C to +125 °C ambient, critical for battery voltage monitoring accuracy. |
Applications
| Engine Control Unit (ECU) Reference | Automotive LIN Bus Clamp |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Provides stable 62 V reference for microcontroller ADC calibration and battery voltage scaling in gasoline/diesel ECUs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Shunt voltage reference connected between VBAT and ground, regulating sampling node against transients. Use Value: Maintains < ±0.62 V error over temperature and life, ensuring consistent fuel injection timing and OBD-II compliance. |
Use Scenario: Clamps LIN bus line during load dump events to protect transceiver ICs from >60 V surges. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional transient suppressor placed between LIN line and ground, conducting only above VZ. Use Value: Limits peak bus voltage to 62.6 V, preventing damage to NXP TJA1020 or Infineon TLE7259-2G LIN transceivers. |
| 12 V System Overvoltage Protection | Infotainment Power Sequencing |

Use Scenario: Enables controlled power-up sequencing by holding reset line low until main 5 V rail reaches regulation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener-based voltage detector feeding comparator input to generate delayed enable signal. Use Value: Delivers 10 ms delay accuracy ±2% over −40 °C to +85 °C using fixed 62 V threshold and RC timing. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZT52H-B62-Q | ±2 % tolerance (60.8 V–63.2 V), same SOD123F package and 830 mW rating | Acceptable where system-level calibration compensates for wider VZ spread | Select for cost-sensitive body control modules where ±2 % meets functional safety requirements. |
| MMSZ5262B-TP | 62 V nominal, ±5 % tolerance, SOD-123 package, 500 mW Ptot, not AEC-Q101 qualified | Limited to non-safety-critical consumer or industrial applications | Choose only for prototyping or non-automotive designs where qualification is unnecessary and lower cost is prioritized. |
Compared with BZT52H-A62-QX, the BZT52H-B62-Q trades ±1 % precision for broader tolerance but retains full AEC-Q101 compliance, while MMSZ5262B-TP sacrifices both tolerance and qualification for reduced unit cost - making the original part optimal for production automotive systems demanding traceable 62 V regulation.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current this diode can handle at 25 °C ambient?
At Tamb = 25 °C with proper PCB thermal design (1 cm² cathode pad), the BZT52H-A62-QX supports up to 13.4 mA continuous reverse current - calculated from Ptot = 830 mW and VZ ≈ 62 V. Derating applies above 25 °C per the 150 °C max Tj limit and Rth(j-a) = 330 K/W.
Is the SOD123F package compatible with standard reflow soldering profiles?
Yes - Nexperia specifies reflow soldering as the only recommended method for SOD123F. The package withstands peak temperatures up to 260 °C for ≤ 30 seconds, matching IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020D. Footprint dimensions (2.9 mm × 1.6 mm lands) and solder paste volume are defined in Figure 12 of the datasheet.
How does the +0.05 mV/K temperature coefficient impact regulation accuracy across −40 °C to +125 °C?
Over that 165 K range, the coefficient contributes ≤ ±8.25 mV drift (0.05 × 165), or ±0.013 % of 62 V - negligible versus the ±1 % initial tolerance. This stability makes it suitable for battery voltage monitors where absolute accuracy matters more than dynamic response.
Can this Zener diode replace older BZT52C62 in existing designs?
No - BZT52H-A62-QX has tighter ±1 % tolerance, higher 830 mW rating (vs. 500 mW for BZT52C62), and AEC-Q101 qualification. While electrically compatible in most circuits, its improved specs may alter thermal behavior or require layout review for heat dissipation in legacy footprints.
