Product details
Overview
BZT52HC43WF-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount Zener diode with a nominal zener voltage of 43 V, ±5% tolerance (40.0–46.0 V), 2 mA test current, and 80 Ω maximum zener impedance at 2 mA. It delivers 375 mW power dissipation on standard FR-4 PCB and operates across −65 °C to +150 °C. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in automotive body control modules.
For engineers reviewing the BZT52HC43WF-7 datasheet, BZT52HC43WF-7 pinout, BZT52HC43WF-7 application, or BZT52HC43WF-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage stability under temperature drift (TC = +37.6 mV/°C), low leakage (0.05 µA @ 30.1 V), SOD123F package thermal performance, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive reliability.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse-biased breakdown mode to regulate or clamp voltage at 43 V with tight initial tolerance and predictable temperature coefficient (+37.6 mV/°C). Its 80 Ω dynamic impedance at 2 mA ensures stable regulation under light-load conditions.
The device uses a planar epitaxial construction in an SOD123F flat-lead package, enabling low-profile mounting and enhanced thermal dissipation (RθJA = 150 °C/W with 1 cm² cathode pad). Polarity is marked by a cathode band, and terminals are matte tin annealed over copper alloy.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 40.0–46.0 V @ IZT = 2 mA - defines clamping threshold range for overvoltage protection circuits |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 80 Ω max @ 2 mA - determines output voltage variation under load transients |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 375 mW (FR-4, min pad) / 830 mW (FR-4, 1 cm² cathode pad) - sets thermal design margin for PCB layout |
| Temperature Coefficient (TC) | +37.6 mV/°C @ IZT = 2 mA - quantifies voltage drift per degree Celsius rise |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.05 µA @ VR = 30.1 V - ensures minimal standby current in high-impedance sensing nodes |
| Capacitance (CT) | 40 pF max @ f = 1 MHz, VR = 0 V - impacts high-frequency noise filtering capability |
| Operating Temperature | −65 °C to +150 °C - supports under-hood automotive and industrial environments |
Pinout & Package
The BZT52HC43WF-7 is housed in an SOD123F (Type B) surface-mount plastic package with flat leads, UL 94V-0 flammability rating, and cathode polarity indicated by a band. Weight is approximately 0.015 g.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5268BLT1G | Zener voltage 43 V (40.9–45.1 V), 5 mA test current, 100 Ω ZZT, SOT-23 package | Higher thermal resistance (RθJA ≈ 300 °C/W), lower power rating (350 mW) | Prefer for space-constrained designs where footprint matters more than thermal margin |
| BZX84-C43 | Zener voltage 43 V (40.9–45.1 V), 5 mA test current, 90 Ω ZZT, SOT-23 package, no AEC-Q101 qualification | Lacks automotive qualification; not rated for −65 °C operation | Select only for commercial-grade applications with ambient <125 °C and no automotive compliance requirement |
Compared with MMBZ5268BLT1G and BZX84-C43, the BZT52HC43WF-7 offers superior thermal performance (150 °C/W vs. ≥300 °C/W), AEC-Q101 qualification, and extended temperature range - making it the sole choice for under-hood automotive voltage clamping where reliability and thermal headroom are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum power dissipation of BZT52HC43WF-7 under standard PCB conditions?
The BZT52HC43WF-7 dissipates up to 375 mW when mounted on an FR-4 PCB with Diodes Incorporated's minimum recommended pad layout. With a 1 cm² copper pad on the cathode side, power handling increases to 830 mW due to improved thermal conduction to ambient air.
Does BZT52HC43WF-7 have automotive qualification?
Yes - the BZT52HC43WF-7 is fully qualified to AEC-Q101 standards, including stress tests for high-temperature reverse bias, temperature cycling, and mechanical shock. This certification confirms suitability for automotive powertrain, chassis, and body electronics applications.
How is polarity identified on the SOD123F package?
Polarity is marked by a visible cathode band located near one end of the SOD123F package body. The terminal adjacent to the band is the cathode; the opposite terminal is the anode. This marking aligns with JEDEC-standard orientation for automated optical inspection and pick-and-place systems.
What is the typical zener voltage drift over temperature for this part?
The temperature coefficient is +37.6 mV/°C at 2 mA test current, meaning the zener voltage increases by approximately 37.6 mV per degree Celsius rise in junction temperature. This positive TC is typical for Zeners above ~6 V and must be accounted for in precision reference designs operating across −40 °C to +125 °C.
