Product details
Overview
BZT52H-C30-QX from Nexperia is a ±5 % tolerance Zener diode in SOD123F package, rated for 30 V nominal breakdown voltage at IZ = 2 mA, with 830 mW total power dissipation and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive voltage regulation and reference applications.
For engineers reviewing the BZT52H-C30-QX datasheet, BZT52H-C30-QX pinout, BZT52H-C30-QX application, or BZT52H-C30-QX equivalent, this part delivers stable 30 V regulation under transient load conditions, supports high-reliability automotive subsystems, and provides low thermal resistance (70 K/W junction-to-solder point) for compact PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse-bias breakdown mode to maintain a precise 30 V reference across its terminals when current exceeds the knee threshold (IZ ≥ 2 mA). Its differential resistance of 250 Ω at IZ = 2 mA ensures minimal voltage deviation under varying load currents.
The device exhibits a temperature coefficient of +0.05 mV/K at IZ = 2 mA, indicating near-zero drift over temperature, and features 50 μA maximum reverse leakage at VR = 24 V, enabling low-power standby regulation without excessive quiescent loss.
Key Specifications

| Breakdown Voltage VZ | 28.0 V to 32.0 V at IZ = 2 mA - defines usable regulation window for 30 V nominal systems |
| Total Power Dissipation Ptot | 830 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C - enables sustained operation in thermally constrained automotive modules |
| Differential Resistance rdif | 250 Ω max at IZ = 2 mA - limits output voltage variation under ±1 mA load current change |
| Reverse Leakage IR | 40 μA max at VR = 24 V - ensures minimal standby current in always-on vehicle networks |
| Forward Voltage VF | 0.9 V max at IF = 10 mA - supports bidirectional protection circuit integration with low conduction loss |
| Junction Temperature Range | –65 °C to +150 °C - meets under-hood automotive thermal requirements per AEC-Q101 |
| Package | SOD123F - surface-mount footprint compatible with standard reflow processes and FR4 PCBs |

FAQ
What is the maximum non-repetitive peak reverse current for BZT52H-C30-QX?
The maximum non-repetitive peak reverse current (IZSM) is 1.0 A at tp = 100 μs and Tamb = 25 °C, verified per IEC 60134 limiting values. This rating enables reliable clamping of ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a transients without device failure.
How does the temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy over automotive temperature ranges?
The temperature coefficient is +0.05 mV/K at IZ = 2 mA, resulting in only ±1.5 mV drift from –40 °C to +125 °C. This translates to <±0.005 % VZ variation, preserving reference integrity in engine bay and cabin applications.
Can BZT52H-C30-QX be used in parallel for higher power dissipation?
No - Zener diodes exhibit negative temperature coefficients below ~5 V and positive above, but the BZT52H-C30-QX has a near-zero coefficient (+0.05 mV/K), making current sharing unstable. Parallel operation is not recommended due to mismatched thermal runaway risk.
What is the minimum reverse voltage required to achieve stable Zener conduction?
Stable Zener conduction begins at approximately 27 V, defined by the lower limit of the 28.0–32.0 V breakdown range. Below 27 V, reverse current remains below 1 μA; regulation becomes effective only above this threshold with IZ ≥ 2 mA.
