Product details
Overview
BZT52HC36WF-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount Zener diode with a nominal zener voltage of 36 V, ±5.6% tolerance (34.0–38.0 V), 2 mA test current, 60 Ω maximum zener impedance at 2 mA, and 0.05 µA maximum reverse leakage at 25.2 V. It operates in SOD123F package and serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in low-power analog monitoring circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZT52HC36WF-7 datasheet, BZT52HC36WF-7 pinout, BZT52HC36WF-7 application, or BZT52HC36WF-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage stability across temperature (TC = +30.4 mV/°C), low capacitance (45 pF @ 1 MHz), AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use, and thermal resistance of 150 °C/W on 1 cm² cathode pad.
Technical Context
This Zener diode employs a planar silicon junction optimized for stable reverse-breakdown behavior under controlled test conditions (IZ = 2 mA). Its positive temperature coefficient (+30.4 mV/°C) enables predictable drift compensation in bias networks and improves thermal tracking in multi-diode references.
The SOD123F package features a flat lead design with matte tin–annealed copper alloy leads, UL 94V-0 molding compound, and J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity-enabling compatibility with standard reflow profiles while maintaining 830 mW power dissipation capability when mounted on a 1 cm² thermal pad.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 34.0–38.0 V @ IZ = 2 mA - defines clamping threshold for overvoltage protection in 3.3 V/5 V rail supervision |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 60 Ω max @ 2 mA - ensures minimal voltage shift under dynamic load transients in feedback loops |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.05 µA @ VR = 25.2 V - enables ultra-low standby current in battery-backed voltage monitors |
| Capacitance (CT) | 45 pF @ 1 MHz, VR = 0 V - supports high-frequency noise filtering without signal distortion in sensor interfaces |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 830 mW @ TA = 25°C with 1 cm² cathode pad - allows sustained operation in compact automotive ECUs without forced cooling |
| Temperature Coefficient (TC) | +30.4 mV/°C @ IZ = 2 mA - provides known, linear drift for temperature-compensated reference designs |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 150 °C/W with optimized pad - enables accurate junction temperature estimation for reliability modeling |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMSZ5241B-7-F | Zener voltage 36 V ±5%, but 200 Ω ZZT @ 12.5 mA - higher impedance reduces regulation accuracy under load | Rated for 500 mW only; unsuitable for 830 mW thermal pad layouts | Select only if board layout lacks 1 cm² cathode pad and power dissipation remains ≤500 mW |
| BZX84-C36 | SOT-23 package (higher RθJA = 300 °C/W); 36 V ±5%, 150 Ω ZZT @ 5 mA | No AEC-Q101 qualification; not approved for automotive under-hood use | Acceptable for consumer-grade PCBs where space constraints prohibit SOD123F footprint |
Compared with MMSZ5241B-7-F and BZX84-C36, BZT52HC36WF-7 delivers superior thermal performance (150 °C/W), lower dynamic impedance (60 Ω), and automotive qualification-making it the preferred choice for thermally demanding, safety-critical voltage reference roles.

FAQ
What is the maximum power dissipation of BZT52HC36WF-7 under standard PCB mounting?
BZT52HC36WF-7 achieves 830 mW maximum power dissipation when mounted on an FR-4 PCB with a 1 cm² copper pad connected to the cathode terminal. This requires adherence to Diodes' suggested pad layout (Document DS36891, Page 4) and assumes ambient temperature ≤25°C. Derating applies above 25°C per Figure 1's power derating curve.
Does BZT52HC36WF-7 have polarity marking, and how is it identified?
Yes, BZT52HC36WF-7 uses a cathode band marking on the SOD123F package body. The band indicates the cathode terminal, which must be connected to the higher-potential side of the circuit during reverse-bias (zener) operation. The anode is the unmarked end. Polarity is confirmed in the mechanical drawings on page 4 of DS36891 Rev. 4-2.
Is BZT52HC36WF-7 compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes, BZT52HC36WF-7 is fully RoHS-compliant and rated for lead-free reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020. Its matte tin–annealed copper alloy leads meet MIL-STD-202 Method 208 solderability requirements and withstand peak temperatures up to 260°C for ≤60 seconds, consistent with industry-standard Pb-free profiles.
How does the +30.4 mV/°C temperature coefficient affect circuit design?
The +30.4 mV/°C coefficient means the zener voltage increases linearly with junction temperature at that rate. In precision references, this drift must be compensated-e.g., by pairing with a negative-TC component or using software-based temperature correction. It is beneficial in temperature-sensing bias networks where predictable, monotonic drift is required.
