Product details
Overview
BZT52H-B36-QX from Nexperia is a ±2 % tolerance Zener diode in SOD123F package, rated for 36 V nominal breakdown voltage at IZ = 2 mA, 830 mW total power dissipation, and qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive voltage regulation. It provides stable reference voltage in low-power biasing, overvoltage clamping, and supply rail stabilization circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZT52H-B36-QX datasheet, BZT52H-B36-QX pinout, BZT52H-B36-QX application, or BZT52H-B36-QX equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±2 %), thermal resistance (150 K/W junction-to-solder point), differential resistance (250 Ω max), reverse current (60 μA max at VR = 28.8 V), and automotive qualification status.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse-biased breakdown mode to maintain a stable 36 V reference under regulated current conditions. Its ±2 % tolerance ensures precise voltage setting for feedback networks and protection thresholds in automotive ECUs and body control modules.
Designed for surface-mount assembly on FR4 PCBs with single-sided copper, it delivers 830 mW power handling at Tamb ≤ 25 °C and supports non-repetitive surge currents up to 0.8 A (100 μs pulse). The SOD123F package enables compact layout while meeting AEC-Q101 stress test requirements for temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical shock.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZT52H-C36-Q | ±5 % tolerance, higher IR (100 μA max at VR = 28.8 V), same VZ range (34–38 V) | Acceptable where cost sensitivity outweighs precision requirement | Select for non-safety-critical consumer-grade subsystems with relaxed voltage stability needs |

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse current specification for BZT52H-B36-QX at 28.8 V?
The maximum reverse current (IR) is 60 μA at VR = 28.8 V and Tj = 25 °C, measured under specified test conditions per Table 9 of the datasheet. This low leakage supports energy-efficient operation in always-on vehicle subsystems.
Does BZT52H-B36-QX require heatsinking in typical automotive PCB layouts?
No heatsink is required for continuous operation at 830 mW when mounted on an FR4 PCB with single-sided copper and a 1 cm² cathode pad, as its Rth(j-sp) is 150 K/W. Derating begins above 25 °C ambient, with full power usable up to ~75 °C board temperature.
How does the ±2 % tolerance affect circuit accuracy compared to ±5 % variants?
The ±2 % tolerance reduces worst-case Zener voltage spread from ±1.8 V (±5 % of 36 V) to ±0.72 V, improving ADC reference accuracy by 2.5× and tightening overvoltage trip margins in protection circuits-essential for ASIL-B compliant designs.
Can BZT52H-B36-QX be used in place of older BZT52C36 or BZX79-C36 parts?
Yes, but with critical differences: BZT52H-B36-QX has tighter tolerance (±2 % vs ±5 %), higher power rating (830 mW vs 500 mW), AEC-Q101 qualification, and SOD123F package (vs DO-35). Layout and thermal design must accommodate the new footprint and enhanced surge capability.
