Product details
Overview
BZT52H-B3V3-QX from Nexperia is a ±2 % tolerance Zener diode in SOD123F package, rated for 3.3 V nominal breakdown voltage at 5 mA, with 830 mW total power dissipation and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive voltage regulation.
For engineers reviewing the BZT52H-B3V3-QX datasheet, BZT52H-B3V3-QX pinout, BZT52H-B3V3-QX application, or BZT52H-B3V3-QX equivalent, this page delivers verified Zener parameters, thermal resistance values, reverse current limits, differential resistance, and temperature coefficient data critical for precision biasing and overvoltage protection design.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference diode, conducting in reverse bias above its specified Zener voltage (3.3 V ±2 %) with low dynamic impedance (95 Ω max at IZ = 5 mA) and minimal temperature drift (−3.5 to 0.0 mV/K). It maintains stable regulation under ambient temperatures from −65 °C to +150 °C.
Its SOD123F package enables surface-mount integration with 150 K/W junction-to-solder-point thermal resistance and 70 K/W junction-to-cathode-tab resistance, supporting reliable power dissipation up to 830 mW on standard FR4 PCBs with 1 cm² cathode pad.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 3.23 V to 3.37 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines precise clamping threshold for low-voltage rail stabilization |
| Tolerance | ±2 % - ensures tight voltage accuracy without post-production trimming in automotive sensor supply circuits |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | ≤ 95 Ω at IZ = 5 mA - minimizes output voltage variation under load current changes |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤ 5 μA at VR = 1 V - guarantees low leakage in standby mode for battery-powered modules |
| Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 830 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C - supports continuous regulation in compact automotive ECUs with limited heatsinking |
| Temperature Coefficient (SZ) | −3.5 to 0.0 mV/K - enables predictable voltage drift compensation across −40 °C to +125 °C operating range |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 150 °C maximum - allows operation in under-hood environments without derating below full power |
Pinout & Package
SOD123F surface-mount plastic package: 2-pin, flat lead, cathode-marked with bar; dimensions 3.6 mm × 1.7 mm × 1.0 mm; optimized for reflow soldering per IPC-7095 guidelines.
| 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 conduction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including HTOL, TC, and ESD testing per discrete semiconductor stress standards |
| Three tolerance grades | ±1 %, ±2 %, and ≈±5 % options enable cost-performance trade-off selection without redesigning PCB layout |
| Low thermal resistance | Rth(j-sp) = 150 K/W and Rth(j-tab) = 70 K/W allow efficient heat transfer to PCB copper, reducing thermal runaway risk |
| Wide voltage range | 2.4 V to 75 V coverage across 37 nominal voltages simplifies BOM consolidation for multi-rail systems |
| Pulse surge capability | 40 W non-repetitive peak reverse power (tp = 100 μs) provides transient overvoltage immunity during load dump events |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZT52H-A3V3-Q | ±1 % tolerance, higher cost, identical package and thermal specs | Required where tighter voltage accuracy is mandated for high-resolution ADC references | Select when system-level calibration budget cannot absorb ±2 % Zener error |
| BZT52H-C3V3-Q | ≈±5 % tolerance, lower cost, same power and thermal ratings | Suitable for non-critical biasing where cost sensitivity outweighs regulation precision | Choose for consumer-grade peripherals where ±5 % VZ meets functional safety thresholds |
Compared with BZT52H-B3V3-QX, the ±1 % A-grade offers superior accuracy for metrology-critical paths, while the ±5 % C-grade reduces BOM cost in tolerant applications-both retain identical surge handling, thermal performance, and footprint compatibility.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse current at 1 V for BZT52H-B3V3-QX?
The maximum reverse current (IR) is 5 μA at VR = 1 V and Tj = 25 °C, measured under specified test conditions. This low leakage supports energy-efficient operation in always-on automotive subsystems and extends battery life in portable devices.
Can BZT52H-B3V3-QX be used in place of a 3.3 V linear regulator?
No-it functions only as a shunt regulator requiring a series current-limiting resistor and cannot source load current like a three-terminal linear regulator. It is appropriate for low-current biasing or voltage clamping, not for powering downstream ICs directly.
How does the SOD123F package affect thermal performance?
The SOD123F package achieves Rth(j-sp) = 150 K/W and Rth(j-tab) = 70 K/W when mounted on FR4 with 1 cm² cathode pad, enabling 830 mW dissipation at 25 °C ambient. Thermal derating is required above 25 °C per the datasheet's power vs. temperature curve.
Is BZT52H-B3V3-QX suitable for ESD protection on high-speed data lines?
With 450 pF capacitance at 0 V and 6.0 A non-repetitive peak reverse current, it is suitable for low-speed or DC-coupled protection but not for USB 2.0/3.0 or HDMI due to excessive signal distortion; TVS diodes with sub-1 pF capacitance are preferred for those interfaces.
