Product details
Overview
BZT52HC13WF-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount Zener diode with a nominal zener voltage of 13 V (12.4–14.1 V range), 5 mA test current, and 10 Ω maximum zener impedance at IZT. It features SOD123F (Type B) package, AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive reliability, and operates across −65 °C to +150 °C. Used for precision voltage regulation in low-power sensor biasing and power rail clamping.
For engineers reviewing the BZT52HC13WF-7 datasheet, BZT52HC13WF-7 pinout, BZT52HC13WF-7 application, or BZT52HC13WF-7 equivalent, key selection factors include its 13 V zener tolerance, 110 Ω dynamic impedance at knee current, temperature coefficient of +7.0 to +11.0 mV/°C, and 80 pF capacitance at 1 MHz - critical for noise-sensitive analog reference circuits.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable voltage under varying load and temperature conditions. Its positive temperature coefficient (+7.0 to +11.0 mV/°C) enables predictable drift compensation in series-reference designs, and its 1 mA knee current (IZK) supports low-current regulation down to microamp-level standby modes.
The device delivers 375 mW power dissipation on standard FR-4 PCBs and up to 830 mW with enhanced cathode pad area (1 cm²), supported by thermal resistance of 150 °C/W in optimized layout. Reverse leakage remains ≤0.1 µA at 10.4 V, ensuring minimal quiescent current in battery-powered systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage Range | 12.4 V to 14.1 V at 5 mA - defines regulation window for 13 V nominal rail stabilization |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMSZ5242B-7-F (Diodes Inc.) | Same 13 V nominal, but SOD-123 package (not SOD123F); 15 Ω ZZT, no AEC-Q101 qualification | Lacks automotive qualification; higher impedance reduces regulation accuracy under load variation | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs AEC-Q101 requirement and thermal performance is secondary |
| BZX84-C13 (Nexperia) | SOT-23 package; 12–14.4 V range; 30 Ω ZZT; AEC-Q101 qualified; 250 mW PD | Higher package profile and lower power rating limit use in high-density or high-dissipation layouts | Prefer where board space permits SOT-23 and system-level thermal margin exceeds 375 mW |
Compared with MMSZ5242B-7-F and BZX84-C13, BZT52HC13WF-7 offers superior thermal performance (830 mW with pad), tighter impedance (10 Ω), and identical AEC-Q101 compliance - making it optimal for automotive and industrial applications demanding both reliability and power handling.

FAQ
What is the maximum power dissipation of BZT52HC13WF-7 under standard PCB conditions?
BZT52HC13WF-7 dissipates up to 375 mW when mounted on an FR-4 PCB using Diodes Incorporated's minimum recommended pad layout. This rating assumes natural convection cooling and accounts for thermal resistance of 330 °C/W junction-to-ambient. Derating begins linearly above +25 °C ambient.
Does BZT52HC13WF-7 have a defined polarity marking, and how is it identified?
Yes - polarity is indicated by a cathode band printed on the device body, aligned with the cathode terminal. In the SOD123F package, the band corresponds to the terminal on the same side as the shorter leadframe extension. This marking is visible under 10× magnification and matches the polarity symbol in the official package outline drawing.
Can BZT52HC13WF-7 be used in place of older BZT52C13 models?
No - BZT52HC13WF-7 is not a drop-in replacement for legacy BZT52C13. It uses the newer SOD123F package (vs. SOD-123), has tighter zener tolerance (±7.7% vs. ±10%), lower impedance (10 Ω vs. ~20 Ω), and full AEC-Q101 qualification. Layout and thermal design must be updated to match the SOD123F footprint and enhanced power capability.
What is the significance of the "WF" suffix in BZT52HC13WF-7?
The "WF" suffix denotes Diodes Incorporated's "Green" halogen- and antimony-free construction, meeting strict environmental standards (<900 ppm Br, <900 ppm Cl, <1000 ppm Sb). It also indicates matte tin annealed terminations for guaranteed solderability and RoHS compliance per EU Directive 2011/65/EU.
