Product details
Overview
BZT52H-C33-QX from Nexperia is a ±5 % tolerance Zener diode in SOD123F package, rated for 33 V nominal breakdown voltage at IZ = 2 mA, with 830 mW total power dissipation and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive voltage regulation. It provides stable reference voltage in low-power biasing, overvoltage clamping, and supply rail stabilization circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZT52H-C33-QX datasheet, BZT52H-C33-QX pinout, BZT52H-C33-QX application, or BZT52H-C33-QX equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±5 %), thermal resistance (150 K/W junction-to-solder-point), differential resistance (250 Ω max), reverse current (40 μA max at VR = 27 V), and automotive-grade reliability per AEC-Q101.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse-biased breakdown mode to maintain a stable 33 V reference across its terminals under controlled current conditions. Its design supports precise DC voltage regulation in space-constrained SMD layouts where thermal performance and long-term stability are critical.
It features a temperature coefficient of +0.05 mV/K at IZ = 2 mA, indicating minimal drift over temperature, and exhibits 45 pF capacitance at 1 MHz and 0 V reverse bias-suitable for low-frequency regulation without signal coupling concerns.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 33 V nominal at IZ = 2 mA; actual range 31.0–35.0 V due to ±5 % tolerance-defines regulated output level in feedback or clamp circuits. |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | ≤250 Ω at IZ = 2 mA; determines regulation stiffness-lower values yield tighter voltage control under load variation. |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤40 μA at VR = 27 V; ensures low leakage during standby, critical for battery-powered or high-impedance bias networks. |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 830 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C on FR4 PCB with 1 cm² cathode pad; sets maximum continuous DC power handling before thermal derating. |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | −65 °C to +150 °C operating range; enables deployment in under-hood automotive environments and industrial control enclosures. |
| AEC-Q101 Qualification | Qualified per Automotive Electronics Council stress test standard-confirms reliability for safety-relevant and mission-critical automotive subsystems. |
Pinout & Package
SOD123F surface-mount plastic package: 2-terminal, flat lead, small outline; dimensions 3.6 mm × 1.7 mm × 1.0 mm (L × W × H); cathode marked by bar on top surface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (K) | Connected to regulated output node; polarity-sensitive terminal-reverse bias applied between anode and cathode to initiate Zener conduction. |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; completes bias path-current flows from cathode to anode during regulation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automotive qualification | AEC-Q101 qualified-enables use in engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS modules without additional qualification effort. |
| Thermal resistance (junction-to-solder-point) | 150 K/W-supports reliable operation with moderate copper pour, reducing need for oversized thermal pads in compact PCBs. |
| Non-repetitive peak reverse current | 0.9 A at tp = 100 μs-provides transient overvoltage immunity against ESD or load dump spikes in 12 V systems. |
| Forward voltage | ≤0.9 V at IF = 10 mA-minimizes forward conduction loss when used bidirectionally or in protection configurations. |
| Marking code | "BW" per Table 4-enables visual identification on board and traceability to BZT52H-C33-Q series with ±5 % tolerance. |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous Zener current for BZT52H-C33-QX at 85 °C ambient?
At Tamb = 85 °C, derating applies: Ptot reduces linearly from 830 mW at 25 °C to zero at 150 °C. At 85 °C, allowable power is 550 mW. With VZ ≈ 33 V, maximum continuous IZ is ~16.7 mA-calculated as 550 mW ÷ 33 V, assuming worst-case voltage and no additional thermal margin.
Does BZT52H-C33-QX support bidirectional ESD protection?
No-BZT52H-C33-QX is a unidirectional Zener diode optimized for reverse-bias regulation. Its forward voltage is 0.9 V at 10 mA, but it lacks symmetric clamping characteristics or specified ESD ratings (e.g., IEC 61000-4-2). For bidirectional ESD protection, dedicated TVS diodes like PESD5V0S1BA should be used instead.
How does the ±5 % tolerance affect regulation accuracy in a 33 V reference circuit?
The ±5 % tolerance means VZ ranges from 31.0 V to 35.0 V at IZ = 2 mA. In a resistor-fed reference, this directly sets absolute output uncertainty. For example, with a 10 kΩ series resistor and 40 V supply, output varies from 31.0 V to 35.0 V-±2 V absolute error-requiring downstream trimming or calibration if tighter regulation is needed.
Can BZT52H-C33-QX replace BZT52C33 in non-automotive designs?
Yes-BZT52H-C33-QX shares identical electrical specs (33 V, ±5 %, SOD123F) with BZT52C33 but adds AEC-Q101 qualification and enhanced process controls. In non-automotive applications, it delivers identical regulation performance with higher reliability assurance, though at a modest cost premium justified only where long-term stability or extended temperature operation is critical.
