Product details
Overview
BZT52H-B43-QX from Nexperia is a ±2 % tolerance Zener diode in SOD123F package, rated for 43 V nominal breakdown voltage at IZ = 2 mA, with 830 mW total power dissipation and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive voltage regulation.
For engineers reviewing the BZT52H-B43-QX datasheet, BZT52H-B43-QX pinout, BZT52H-B43-QX application, or BZT52H-B43-QX equivalent, this part supports precision biasing, overvoltage clamping, and reference generation in space-constrained automotive ECUs, ADAS sensor interfaces, and engine control modules where stable 43 V regulation under transient conditions is required.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse-biased breakdown mode to maintain a stable 43 V reference across its terminals with differential resistance of 325 Ω at IZ = 2 mA and temperature coefficient of +0.05 mV/K - indicating near-zero thermal drift in regulated output.
It delivers non-repetitive peak reverse current up to 0.6 A (tp = 100 μs) and withstands ambient temperatures from −65 °C to +150 °C, with junction-to-solder-point thermal resistance of 70 K/W when mounted per standard SOD123F footprint on FR4 PCB.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZT52H-C43-Q | ±5 % VZ tolerance (40–46 V range) vs. ±2 % (42.1–43.9 V); identical SOD123F package and 830 mW rating | Acceptable for non-critical clamping where 3.9 V window suffices; not suitable for precision reference designs | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs regulation accuracy requirements in non-safety-critical subsystems |
| MMSZ5265B-TP | 43.5 V nominal VZ at IZ = 20 mA, ±5 % tolerance, SOD-123 package, 500 mW Ptot, no AEC-Q101 qualification | Limited to industrial/commercial use; lower power rating requires derating above 70 °C ambient | Use only in non-automotive applications where AEC-Q101 compliance and 830 mW capability are not required |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current this diode can handle at 43 V?
The BZT52H-B43-QX is not rated for continuous reverse conduction at 43 V - it operates in Zener breakdown mode with specified test current IZ = 2 mA. Continuous reverse current is limited by thermal design: at 25 °C ambient, 830 mW dissipation allows ~19.3 mA average current (43 V × 19.3 mA ≈ 830 mW), but derating is required above 25 °C per the 70 K/W junction-to-solder-point thermal resistance.
Does this part support reflow soldering, and what profile is recommended?
Yes, the SOD123F package is qualified for lead-free reflow soldering only. Nexperia specifies JEDEC J-STD-020-compliant profiles with peak temperature ≤ 260 °C, time above liquidus 60–150 s, and ramp rates ≤ 3 °C/s. The recommended footprint uses 1.1 mm × 1.2 mm solder lands with 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm overall occupied area per Figure 12 of the datasheet.
How does the ±2 % tolerance affect voltage regulation accuracy in real-world operation?
The ±2 % tolerance (42.1–43.9 V at IZ = 2 mA) defines initial calibration spread. Real-world regulation accuracy also depends on operating current: at IZ = 5 mA, VZ shifts slightly due to dynamic resistance (325 Ω), adding ±1.6 V error for ±5 mA current variation. Combined with +0.05 mV/K temperature coefficient, total error remains within ±3.2 % over −40 °C to +125 °C at nominal current.
Can this Zener diode replace older BZT52C43 or BZX79-B43 parts in existing designs?
Direct replacement is possible only if the PCB footprint matches SOD123F and thermal management accommodates 830 mW. Unlike legacy BZT52C43 (SOD-123, 500 mW) or BZX79-B43 (DO-35, 400 mW), the BZT52H-B43-QX offers higher power, tighter tolerance, and AEC-Q101 qualification - but requires validation of solder joint reliability and transient response under load dump conditions due to different package parasitics.
