Product details
Overview
BZT52H-B10-QX from Nexperia is a 10 V ±2 % tolerance Zener diode in SOD123F package, rated for 830 mW total power dissipation at 25 °C ambient, with 70 Ω typical differential resistance at IZ = 5 mA and 0.2 μA reverse current at VR = 7.6 V - used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage clamping in automotive body control modules.
For engineers reviewing the BZT52H-B10-QX datasheet, BZT52H-B10-QX pinout, BZT52H-B10-QX application, or BZT52H-B10-QX equivalent, this page delivers verified Zener voltage, thermal resistance, AEC-Q101 qualification status, SOD123F footprint compatibility, and automotive-grade reliability data - all confirmed from Nexperia's official product data sheet Rev. 1 (October 2021).
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable 10 V regulation across load and line variations, with temperature coefficient of +4.5 mV/K at IZ = 5 mA and junction-to-solder-point thermal resistance of 70 K/W. Its low 0.9 V forward voltage at 10 mA enables bidirectional protection circuit integration.
Designed for surface-mount automotive systems, it meets AEC-Q101 stress test requirements including high-temperature operating life, temperature cycling, and humidity bias testing - supporting operation from −65 °C to +150 °C ambient and 150 °C junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 9.80 V to 10.20 V at IZ = 5 mA - ensures tight 10 V regulation for analog sensor biasing and ADC reference stabilization. |
| Tolerance | ±2 % - enables accurate voltage threshold setting in safety-critical automotive monitoring circuits without post-production trimming. |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | 70 Ω max at IZ = 5 mA - limits output impedance drift under dynamic load changes in ECU power rail supervision. |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 830 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C on 1 cm² cathode pad - supports sustained clamping in 12 V vehicle electrical systems during load dump transients. |
| Junction-to-Solder-Point Thermal Resistance (Rth(j-sp)) | 70 K/W - enables efficient heat transfer to PCB copper, critical for reliability in engine bay-mounted modules. |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes - certified for automotive discrete semiconductor stress testing, including HTOL, TC, and HAST - required for ASIL-B subsystems. |
| Package | SOD123F - 3.6 mm × 2.7 mm × 1.2 mm surface-mount outline with flat leads, optimized for automated reflow assembly and space-constrained ECUs. |
Pinout & Package
SOD123F package: 2-terminal surface-mount plastic case with cathode marked by a bar on the top surface; dimensions 3.6 mm × 2.7 mm × 1.2 mm; lead pitch 2.5 mm; recommended reflow footprint per Figure 12.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (K) | Connected to regulated output node; marking bar identifies this terminal; carries reverse current during Zener conduction. |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; completes reverse-biased path enabling voltage clamping at VZ. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automotive qualification | AEC-Q101 qualified - validated for lifetime operation in automotive environments including temperature cycling and humidity exposure. |
| Power handling | 830 mW total dissipation with 70 K/W Rth(j-sp) - enables robust transient suppression without external heatsinking in compact modules. |
| Voltage precision | ±2 % tolerance at 10 V with +4.5 mV/K tempco - supports stable reference generation across −40 °C to +125 °C ECU operating range. |
| Low leakage | 0.2 μA reverse current at 7.6 V - minimizes standby power loss in always-on vehicle networks like CAN wake-up circuits. |
| Small footprint | SOD123F package - occupies < 10 mm² PCB area, suitable for high-density ADAS domain controllers and gateway ECUs. |
Applications
| Engine Control Unit (ECU) Power Supervision | Automotive Sensor Reference Supply |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZT52H-C10-Q | ±5 % tolerance (9.4–10.6 V), higher 100 μA IR at 7.6 V, same SOD123F package and 830 mW rating | Acceptable where cost sensitivity outweighs precision; less suitable for ADC references but adequate for basic overvoltage cutoff | Select when tighter tolerance is unnecessary and BOM cost reduction is prioritized over reference stability |
| MMSZ5240B-TP | 10 V ±5 %, 500 mW Ptot, SOD-123 package (not SOD123F), 150 Ω rdif, no AEC-Q101 qualification | Limited to industrial/commercial use; insufficient thermal margin for automotive underhood deployment | Use only in non-automotive designs where AEC-Q101 is not mandated and power derating is acceptable |
Compared with BZT52H-B10-QX, the ±2 % BZT52H-C10-Q trades precision for cost, while MMSZ5240B-TP lacks automotive qualification and thermal capability - making BZT52H-B10-QX the sole choice for AEC-Q101-compliant 10 V regulation requiring < 70 Ω impedance and 830 mW dissipation.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse current (IR) specification for BZT52H-B10-QX at 7.6 V?
The maximum reverse current is 0.2 μA at VR = 7.6 V and Tj = 25 °C, as specified in Table 8 of the Nexperia datasheet. This low leakage ensures minimal quiescent current draw in always-on automotive circuits such as CAN wake-up receivers and battery monitoring systems.
Does BZT52H-B10-QX support reflow soldering only, or can it be hand-soldered?
Reflow soldering is the only recommended method per Nexperia's datasheet Section 13. Hand-soldering is not advised due to thermal stress risks: peak reflow temperature is 260 °C for ≤10 seconds, and localized iron contact may exceed junction temperature limits or damage the SOD123F molding compound.
How does the +4.5 mV/K temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy over temperature?
At IZ = 5 mA, the +4.5 mV/K coefficient means VZ increases by 4.5 mV per Kelvin rise - resulting in +45 mV shift from −40 °C to +60 °C ambient. Combined with ±2 % initial tolerance, total variation remains within ±75 mV (±0.75 %) across that range, meeting most automotive sensor reference requirements.
Is the SOD123F package footprint compatible with standard SOD-123 land patterns?
No - SOD123F has a narrower body (2.5–2.7 mm width vs. 2.8–3.0 mm for SOD-123) and shorter leads. Nexperia specifies unique footprint dimensions in Figure 12: 2.8 mm × 1.6 mm solder lands with 2.9 mm center-to-center spacing. Using generic SOD-123 pads risks solder bridging or insufficient wetting.
