Product details
Overview
BZT52HC2V7WF-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount Zener diode with nominal 2.7 V zener voltage (2.5–2.9 V range), 5 mA test current, 83 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, and −3.5 mV/°C temperature coefficient. It operates in SOD123F package, delivers 375 mW power dissipation on standard FR-4 PCB, and is AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive voltage regulation and ESD protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZT52HC2V7WF-7 datasheet, BZT52HC2V7WF-7 pinout, BZT52HC2V7WF-7 application, or BZT52HC2V7WF-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its low-voltage zener tolerance, cathode-band polarity marking, thermal resistance of 330 °C/W under standard layout, and compliance with halogen-free, RoHS-compliant "Green" manufacturing standards.
Technical Context
This Zener diode functions as a precision voltage reference and overvoltage clamp in low-power analog and digital supply rails. Its −3.5 mV/°C temperature coefficient ensures predictable drift across −65 °C to +150 °C operating range, and its 450 pF capacitance at 0 V bias supports stable operation in noise-sensitive signal conditioning paths.
The device uses a planar silicon junction structure optimized for low leakage and repeatable breakdown behavior. With 20 µA maximum reverse current at 1 V reverse bias and 1 mA zener knee current, it provides sharp turn-on characteristics suitable for voltage monitoring and threshold detection in battery-powered systems.
Key Specifications

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage this Zener can withstand before breakdown?
The BZT52HC2V7WF-7 exhibits a guaranteed zener breakdown between 2.5 V and 2.9 V at 5 mA test current. Its absolute maximum reverse voltage rating is not specified separately; operation beyond 2.9 V at rated current initiates controlled conduction. Exceeding 3.0 V continuously risks thermal runaway unless power dissipation remains within 375 mW limits.
Is this part suitable for bidirectional ESD protection?
No. The BZT52HC2V7WF-7 is a unidirectional Zener diode with cathode-band polarity and forward conduction only in one direction. It provides effective clamping for positive transients on the cathode side but lacks symmetric breakdown in reverse bias. For bidirectional ESD protection, a dedicated TVS diode such as the D24Z2.7M is required.
How does the SOD123F package compare thermally to SOD-123?
The SOD123F (Type B) used in BZT52HC2V7WF-7 features a flat lead design that improves thermal conduction versus standard SOD-123. Its RθJA is 330 °C/W on minimal pads (vs. ~400 °C/W for legacy SOD-123), and drops to 150 °C/W with 1 cm² cathode pad-enabling higher sustained power in compact layouts without thermal vias.
Does this Zener require external current-limiting resistance in all applications?
Yes. Like all Zener diodes, BZT52HC2V7WF-7 must be biased with a series resistor to limit current to ≤5 mA for stable regulation or ≤250 mA peak for transient clamping. Without current limiting, excessive power dissipation will cause thermal failure. Typical values range from 1 kΩ (for 5 V supply) to 10 kΩ (for 3.3 V supply), calculated using (VIN − 2.7 V)/IZ.
