Product details
Overview
BZT52HC30WFQ from Diodes Incorporated is an AEC-Q101 qualified surface-mount Zener diode in SOD123F package, designed for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in automotive electronics. It delivers a nominal Zener voltage of 30 V (28.0–32.0 V range at 2 mA), with 40 Ω maximum Zener impedance at 2 mA, 50 pF capacitance at 1 MHz, and 0.05 µA maximum reverse leakage at 21 V.
For engineers reviewing the BZT52HC30WFQ datasheet, BZT52HC30WFQ pinout, BZT52HC30WFQ application, or BZT52HC30WFQ equivalent, this device is selected for stable reference generation in engine control units, ECU power rail clamping, and CAN bus interface protection where low-profile packaging, thermal robustness (RθJA = 150 °C/W with 1 cm² cathode pad), and automotive-grade reliability are required.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain a stable reference voltage across its terminals under varying load and temperature conditions. Its 30 V nominal Zener voltage is specified at IZT = 2 mA, with a positive temperature coefficient of +24.4 mV/°C - enabling predictable drift compensation in bias networks.
The SOD123F package supports high power dissipation (830 mW with optimized PCB layout) while maintaining a low profile (<1.15 mm height). Cathode band polarity marking and matte tin–annealed copper alloy terminals ensure reliable solderability per MIL-STD-202, Method 208.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 28.0–32.0 V at IZT = 2 mA - defines clamping threshold for 24 V automotive systems |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 40 Ω max at 2 mA - ensures minimal output voltage variation under dynamic load changes |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.05 µA max at VR = 21 V - guarantees low standby current in always-on circuits |
| Capacitance (CT) | 50 pF max at f = 1 MHz, VR = 0 V - limits signal distortion in high-speed data line protection |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 830 mW with 1 cm² cathode pad - enables sustained operation in thermally constrained ECUs |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 150 °C/W with optimized pad - allows junction temperature rise ≤75 °C at 500 mW ambient dissipation |
| Temperature Coefficient (TC) | +24.4 mV/°C at IZT = 2 mA - supports predictable voltage drift compensation in wide-temperature environments |
Pinout & Package

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5266BS-7-F (Diodes Inc.) | Same 30 V nominal Zener, but SOT-323 package; 300 mW PD, higher RθJA (330 °C/W) | Limited to low-power signal conditioning due to lower thermal capability | Select when board space is critical and power dissipation remains below 200 mW |
| BZX84-C30 (Nexperia) | 30 V Zener, SOT-23 package; 250 mW PD, 400 Ω ZZT, no AEC-Q101 qualification | Not suitable for automotive production; intended for industrial/commercial use only | Acceptable for non-automotive prototypes or cost-sensitive consumer designs without qualification requirements |
Compared with MMBZ5266BS-7-F and BZX84-C30, BZT52HC30WFQ uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, 830 mW power handling, and SOD123F's thermal efficiency - making it the only option qualified for production automotive power rail protection where both reliability and thermal margin are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse voltage this Zener can withstand without breakdown?
The BZT52HC30WFQ has a nominal Zener voltage of 30 V, with guaranteed breakdown occurring between 28.0 V and 32.0 V at 2 mA test current. Below 28.0 V, it behaves as a high-impedance reverse-biased diode with ≤0.05 µA leakage at 21 V. Sustained reverse voltage above 32.0 V will cause conduction and power dissipation limited by thermal design.
Does this part require derating at elevated ambient temperatures?
Yes - the device's power dissipation must be derated linearly above +25 °C ambient. With a thermal resistance of 150 °C/W (optimized pad), maximum allowable power drops to 500 mW at +60 °C ambient and 250 mW at +100 °C ambient, per the published derating curve in DS41143 Rev. 4-2.
Is the SOD123F package compatible with standard reflow profiles for lead-free soldering?
Yes - the SOD123F package uses matte tin–annealed copper alloy leads rated for lead-free reflow per J-STD-020. Its moisture sensitivity level is Class 1, eliminating bake requirements. Peak reflow temperature must not exceed 260 °C for ≤30 seconds, consistent with IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020D.2.
Can this Zener be used in series or parallel configurations for higher voltage or current handling?
Series connection is viable for higher voltage references (e.g., two 30 V devices yield ~60 V), but mismatched temperature coefficients cause unequal voltage sharing. Parallel use is not recommended - slight VZ variations lead to current hogging and thermal runaway. For higher current, use a single device with adequate PCB copper area per the 1 cm² cathode pad recommendation.
