Product details
Overview
BZT52H-C3V3-QX from Nexperia is a ±5 % tolerance Zener diode in SOD123F package, rated for 3.3 V nominal breakdown voltage at 5 mA, 830 mW total power dissipation, and qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive voltage regulation and reference applications.
For engineers reviewing the BZT52H-C3V3-QX datasheet, BZT52H-C3V3-QX pinout, BZT52H-C3V3-QX application, or BZT52H-C3V3-QX equivalent, this part delivers stable 3.3 V regulation with low differential resistance (95 Ω), tight thermal coefficient control (−3.5 to 0.0 mV/K), and robust surge capability (6.0 A non-repetitive peak reverse current) in a compact surface-mount footprint.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse-bias breakdown mode to maintain a stable 3.3 V reference across load variations, with specified test conditions of IZ = 5 mA and Tj = 25 °C. Its differential resistance of 95 Ω ensures minimal output voltage deviation under dynamic current changes.
The device exhibits a temperature coefficient ranging from −3.5 mV/K to 0.0 mV/K at IZ = 5 mA, enabling predictable drift behavior in automotive ambient ranges (−65 °C to +150 °C). It is mounted on FR4 PCB with single-sided copper and tin-plated pads per JEDEC standards.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Breakdown Voltage VZ | 3.10 V to 3.50 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines usable regulation window for 3.3 V rail stabilization |
| Differential Resistance rdif | 95 Ω max - limits output voltage shift under ±1 mA load current variation |
| Reverse Current IR | 5 μA max at VR = 1 V - ensures low quiescent leakage in standby circuits |
| Total Power Dissipation Ptot | 830 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling on standard FR4 pad |
| Non-repetitive Peak Reverse Current IZSM | 6.0 A for tp = 100 μs - supports transient overvoltage clamping without failure |
| Junction Temperature Range | −65 °C to +150 °C - enables operation in under-hood automotive environments |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes - validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling and HTRB |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZT52C3V3 | Same 3.3 V nominal, ±5 % tolerance, but not AEC-Q101 qualified; 500 mW Ptot | Limited to commercial-grade consumer or industrial equipment without automotive qualification requirements | Select when AEC-Q101 is unnecessary and lower power rating suffices |
| MMSZ5226ET1G | 3.3 V nominal, ±5 %, SOD-123 package, 500 mW Ptot, no AEC-Q101 claim | Compatible footprint but lacks automotive stress-test validation and thermal performance data at 150 °C junction | Choose only for non-automotive designs where Nexperia's 830 mW rating and full AEC-Q101 report are not required |
Compared with BZT52C3V3 and MMSZ5226ET1G, the BZT52H-C3V3-QX provides 66 % higher power handling, verified automotive qualification, and documented 150 °C junction operation-making it the sole option for thermally demanding or safety-critical vehicle subsystems.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current the BZT52H-C3V3-QX can sustain at 25 °C ambient?
The device is rated for 830 mW total power dissipation at Tamb ≤ 25 °C. With a nominal 3.3 V breakdown, this corresponds to a maximum continuous reverse current of approximately 251 mA (830 mW ÷ 3.3 V), assuming ideal thermal conditions and no derating. Actual design current must respect thermal resistance limits and board layout.
How does the −3.5 mV/K to 0.0 mV/K temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy over automotive temperature range?
Over −40 °C to +125 °C, the worst-case VZ drift is (125 − (−40)) × 3.5 mV/K = 577.5 mV, or ~17.5 % of 3.3 V. However, typical behavior near zero coefficient reduces actual drift significantly; datasheet plots show < ±2 % total variation across full range for C-tolerance parts under defined test conditions.
Can BZT52H-C3V3-QX replace BZT52C3V3 in an existing design without layout changes?
Yes-the SOD123F package matches the SOD-123 outline used by BZT52C3V3, with identical pinning (cathode/anode), mechanical dimensions, and reflow footprint. No PCB modification is needed, though thermal and surge performance improvements may require updated system-level validation.
Is the 6.0 A non-repetitive peak reverse current rating tested per JEDEC standards?
Yes-IZSM = 6.0 A is measured under JEDEC-defined conditions: tp = 100 μs square wave, Tj = 25 °C prior to surge, and specified mounting on FR4 PCB with single-sided copper. This validates its capability to clamp short-duration transients such as ISO 7637-2 pulse 1 and pulse 2a in automotive systems.
