Product details
Overview
BZT52H-B5V6-QX from Nexperia is a ±2 % tolerance Zener diode in SOD123F package, rated for 5.6 V nominal breakdown voltage at 5 mA, 400 Ω max differential resistance, and 830 mW total power dissipation. It operates across –65 °C to +150 °C ambient range and is AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive voltage regulation and reference applications.
For engineers reviewing the BZT52H-B5V6-QX datasheet, BZT52H-B5V6-QX pinout, BZT52H-B5V6-QX application, or BZT52H-B5V6-QX equivalent, this page delivers verified Zener parameters, thermal performance data, automotive qualification status, and real-world design implications for precision biasing and overvoltage clamping circuits.
Technical Context
This Zener diode functions as a two-terminal voltage reference with sharp reverse breakdown at 5.6 V under 5 mA test current. Its temperature coefficient of –2.0 to +2.5 mV/K (at IZ = 5 mA) enables stable regulation across automotive temperature ranges when used with appropriate thermal management.
The device exhibits 1 μA max reverse current at 4.0 V (VR), 400 Ω max dynamic impedance, and 300 pF capacitance at 0 V - characteristics critical for low-noise analog references and fast transient suppression in power supply feedback paths.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Nominal Zener Voltage | 5.6 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines precise DC reference point for regulator feedback or sensor biasing |
| Tolerance | ±2 % - ensures tight voltage accuracy without post-production trimming in production-grade automotive modules |
| Differential Resistance | 400 Ω max - limits output impedance impact on load regulation in low-current reference circuits |
| Total Power Dissipation | 830 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C on 1 cm² cathode pad - sets maximum continuous DC power handling in PCB-mounted designs |
| Reverse Current | 1 μA max at VR = 4.0 V - guarantees minimal leakage-induced error in high-impedance sensing nodes |
| Junction Temperature | 150 °C max - supports operation in under-hood automotive environments without derating below full rating |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes - validated for automotive use per stress test requirements including HTGB, HTRB, and temperature cycling |
Pinout & Package
SOD123F surface-mount plastic package: 2.5–2.7 mm length × 1.2–1.5 mm width × 0.9–1.1 mm height; cathode marked by bar; optimized for reflow soldering on FR4 PCBs with standard footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (K) | Connected to regulated output node; marking bar identifies this terminal; carries reverse-biased current during regulation |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; completes Zener conduction path when reverse voltage exceeds 5.6 V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZT52C5V6-Q | ±5 % tolerance, 500 Ω max rdif, same SOD123F package | Lower accuracy; suitable for non-critical biasing where cost is prioritized over stability | Select when ±5 % voltage variation is acceptable and AEC-Q101 is not required |
| MMSZ5232BS-7-F | ±5 % tolerance, 600 Ω max rdif, SOD-123 package (non-AEC-Q101) | Lacks automotive qualification; higher dynamic impedance increases regulation error | Use only in commercial-grade consumer products with ambient <85 °C and no vibration/stress requirements |
Compared with BZT52H-B5V6-QX, BZT52C5V6-Q trades tighter tolerance and AEC-Q101 compliance for lower unit cost, while MMSZ5232BS-7-F omits automotive validation and exhibits higher impedance - making the original part uniquely suited for safety-relevant 5.6 V reference roles in harsh environments.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage before breakdown for BZT52H-B5V6-QX?
The nominal Zener voltage is 5.6 V at 5 mA test current, with guaranteed breakdown between 5.49 V and 5.71 V (±2 %). At 4.0 V reverse bias, leakage remains ≤1 μA - confirming stable non-conduction below the specified knee voltage.
Can BZT52H-B5V6-QX replace older BZT52B5V6 parts in existing designs?
Yes - it shares identical SOD123F package, pinout, and electrical specifications but adds AEC-Q101 qualification and tighter process control. No layout or schematic changes are needed, and the improved reliability supports extended automotive service life.
How does thermal resistance affect power derating in PCB designs?
Rth(j-sp) is 70 K/W to the cathode solder point. With a 1 cm² copper pad, the 830 mW rating applies only up to 25 °C ambient; above that, power must be linearly derated by 8.3 mW/°C to maintain Tj ≤ 150 °C.
Is the 300 pF capacitance measured at zero bias relevant for high-frequency applications?
Yes - measured at 1 MHz and 0 V, this value directly impacts noise coupling and phase margin in feedback networks. For >10 MHz signal paths, the capacitance may introduce measurable attenuation, requiring layout isolation or alternative low-C Zeners.
