Product details
Overview
BZT52H-C2V4-Q from Nexperia is a ±5 % tolerance Zener diode in SOD123F package, rated for 2.20 V to 2.60 V nominal breakdown voltage at 5 mA, with 400 Ω max differential resistance and 830 mW total power dissipation, used for precision voltage regulation in automotive power supply rails.
For engineers reviewing the BZT52H-C2V4-Q datasheet, BZT52H-C2V4-Q pinout, BZT52H-C2V4-Q application, or BZT52H-C2V4-Q equivalent, this part delivers AEC-Q101-qualified Zener regulation with verified thermal performance on FR4 PCBs, stable temperature coefficient (−3.5 to 0.0 mV/K), and low reverse leakage (≤50 μA at 1 V).
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse-bias breakdown mode to maintain stable reference voltage under varying load and temperature conditions. Its design supports constant-voltage clamping and low-noise biasing in analog front-ends and microcontroller reset circuits.
It features a cathode-anode two-terminal structure with marking bar indicating cathode polarity, and is optimized for surface-mount reflow soldering per SOD123F footprint. Thermal resistance from junction to solder point is 70 K/W, enabling reliable operation up to 150 °C junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Breakdown Voltage VZ | 2.20 V to 2.60 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines regulation window for low-voltage rail stabilization |
| Differential Resistance rdif | 400 Ω max - limits output impedance and voltage deviation under load current changes |
| Reverse Current IR | 50 μA max at VR = 1 V - ensures minimal quiescent power loss in standby mode |
| Total Power Dissipation Ptot | 830 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling on standard FR4 PCB |
| Temperature Coefficient SZ | −3.5 to 0.0 mV/K - quantifies voltage drift over temperature, critical for accuracy in automotive environments |
| Junction Temperature Tj | 150 °C max - enables operation in under-hood automotive modules without derating |
| Package | SOD123F - compact 2-lead SMD outline (3.6 × 1.2 mm) with cathode-marked anisotropic thermal pad |
Pinout & Package
SOD123F is a surface-mount plastic package with two leads: anode (pin 2) and cathode (pin 1), where the cathode is identified by a marking bar on the device body.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (K) | Connected to regulated output node; reverse-bias terminal where Zener breakdown occurs |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; completes current path during regulation |
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-B2V4-Q | ±2 % tolerance (2.35–2.45 V), 500 Ω rdif, 85 μA IR at 1 V | Narrower voltage spread improves accuracy in feedback loops but increases cost | Select when tighter regulation is needed and thermal margin allows higher rdif-induced error |
| MMSZ5221B-TP | ±5 % tolerance (2.28–2.52 V), 225 mW Ptot, SOD-123 package (not AEC-Q101 qualified) | Limited power handling and no automotive qualification restrict use to consumer-grade designs | Choose only for non-automotive, low-power applications where AEC-Q101 compliance is unnecessary |
Compared with BZT52H-C2V4-Q, the BZT52H-B2V4-Q offers improved voltage accuracy at the expense of higher dynamic impedance, while MMSZ5221B-TP sacrifices automotive reliability and thermal capability for lower cost in non-critical applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse current specification for BZT52H-C2V4-Q at 1 V?
The maximum reverse current is 50 μA at VR = 1 V and Tj = 25 °C, measured under specified test conditions. This value ensures minimal standby power consumption in always-on automotive subsystems and contributes to predictable leakage behavior across temperature.
Can BZT52H-C2V4-Q be used in place of a 2.4 V Zener with ±1 % tolerance?
No - BZT52H-C2V4-Q has ±5 % tolerance (2.20–2.60 V), whereas ±1 % parts like BZT52H-A2V4-Q specify 2.37–2.43 V. Substituting introduces up to ±2.5 % additional voltage error, which may violate regulation accuracy requirements in precision feedback paths.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to solder point for this device?
Rth(j-sp) is 70 K/W when mounted on an FR4 PCB with single-sided copper, tin-plated, and a 1 cm² cathode mounting pad. This value directly determines junction temperature rise above solder point temperature and informs thermal design margins in high-ambient applications.
Is reflow soldering the only recommended assembly method?
Yes - the datasheet explicitly states "Reflow soldering is the only recommended soldering method" for the SOD123F package. Hand soldering or wave soldering risks thermal damage due to the device's small thermal mass and sensitivity to localized overheating during lead attachment.
