Product details
Overview
BZT52H-B56,115 from Nexperia is a ±2 % tolerance Zener voltage regulator diode in SOD123F package, rated for 56 V nominal breakdown voltage at IZ = 2 mA, with 830 mW total power dissipation and 375 mW derated power on standard FR4 PCB, used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in low-power DC rails.
For engineers reviewing the BZT52H-B56,115 datasheet, BZT52H-B56,115 pinout, BZT52H-B56,115 application, or BZT52H-B56,115 equivalent, this part supports stable shunt regulation in space-constrained consumer and industrial power management circuits where ±2 % voltage accuracy and thermal robustness up to 150 °C junction temperature are required.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse-biased breakdown mode with a specified 56 V working voltage at 2 mA test current, exhibiting a temperature coefficient of +0.05 mV/K and differential resistance ≤375 Ω - enabling predictable clamping behavior across ambient temperatures from −65 °C to +150 °C.
Its SOD123F package delivers low thermal resistance (Rth(j-a) = 330 K/W in free air; Rth(j-sp) = 70 K/W to cathode solder point), supporting reliable operation under pulsed surge conditions up to 40 W non-repetitive peak reverse power (tp = 100 μs) without thermal runaway.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (K) | Connected to regulated output node; marking bar identifies this terminal; carries reverse breakdown current |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; completes shunt path during overvoltage events |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZT52H-C56,115 | ≈±5 % tolerance (52–60 V range); higher max IR (175 μA at 40 V) | Acceptable where tighter regulation not required; higher leakage may affect ultra-low-power sleep modes | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs voltage accuracy needs and leakage budget permits |
| MMBZ5256BS-7-F | ±5 % tolerance; SOT-23 package; 200 mW Ptot; 56 V VZ at 10 mA | Lower power handling limits use to sub-100 mW applications; smaller footprint but reduced thermal margin | Choose only for ultra-compact designs with verified low power dissipation and adequate PCB copper area |
Compared with BZT52H-B56,115, the C-grade offers wider tolerance and higher leakage at lower cost, while MMBZ5256BS-7-F sacrifices 76 % power capacity and thermal robustness for 30 % smaller footprint - making BZT52H-B56,115 optimal for thermally demanding 56 V regulation where ±2 % accuracy is critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current this Zener can handle at 56 V?
At 56 V reverse bias, the device operates within its specified breakdown region, not as a current-limiting element. Its safe continuous operation depends on power dissipation: with 56 V applied, maximum average current is limited to ~14.8 mA (830 mW ÷ 56 V) at 25 °C ambient. Derating applies per thermal resistance curves.
Can BZT52H-B56,115 be used in place of a 56 V TVS diode for ESD protection?
No - it is not rated for IEC 61000-4-2 ESD immunity. While it clamps at ~56 V, its 40 W non-repetitive surge rating applies only to 100 μs pulses, not the 150 ps rise time of ESD events. Dedicated TVS diodes like PESD5V0S1BA have optimized capacitance and response time for ESD.
How does the ±2 % tolerance affect regulation accuracy in a 56 V power rail?
With ±2 % tolerance, actual VZ falls between 54.9 V and 57.1 V at 2 mA. In a shunt regulator configuration, this directly sets the upper rail limit; combined with differential resistance (≤375 Ω), worst-case output variation across 0–10 mA load change is <1.5 V - sufficient for non-critical 56 V systems.
Is this part qualified for automotive applications?
No - per Nexperia's revision history (Rev. 7, Jan 2023), the BZT52H series is explicitly marked "non-automotive qualification." For automotive use, select the −Q qualified variants (e.g., BZT52H-B56-Q) which undergo AEC-Q200 stress testing and include extended temperature validation.
