Product details
Overview
BZT52H-C47,115 from Nexperia is a ±5 % tolerance Zener diode in SOD123F package, rated for 47 V nominal breakdown voltage at IZ = 2 mA, with 830 mW total power dissipation and 325 Ω maximum differential resistance - used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in low-power analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZT52H-C47,115 datasheet, BZT52H-C47,115 pinout, BZT52H-C47,115 application, or BZT52H-C47,115 equivalent, this page delivers verified Zener parameters, thermal performance under PCB-mount conditions, cathode/anode terminal mapping, and direct-fit alternatives for 47 V regulation in space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse-bias breakdown mode to maintain stable 47 V across its terminals within ±5 % tolerance, with temperature coefficient of +0.05 mV/K at IZ = 2 mA. Its SOD123F package enables surface-mount integration on FR4 PCBs with 1 cm² cathode pad for thermal management.
It supports non-repetitive peak reverse current up to 0.5 A (tp = 100 μs) and exhibits 40 W non-repetitive peak reverse power dissipation. Reverse leakage remains ≤90 μA at VR = 37.6 V, ensuring low standby power loss in regulation paths.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Breakdown Voltage (VZ) | 44.0 V to 50.0 V at IZ = 2 mA - defines usable regulation window for 47 V nominal reference |
| Tolerance | ±5 % - sets worst-case output deviation in open-loop voltage reference applications |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 830 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C with 1 cm² cathode pad - determines maximum continuous current (IZ ≈ 17.7 mA) |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | 325 Ω max at IZ = 2 mA - impacts regulation stiffness and load-induced voltage drift |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤90 μA at VR = 37.6 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in standby bias networks |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | ≤0.9 V at IF = 10 mA - enables use as polarity-sensitive clamp in bidirectional protection schemes |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | −65 °C to +150 °C - supports operation in industrial ambient environments without derating below −40 °C |
Pinout & Package
SOD123F is a 2-lead surface-mount plastic package with 3.4–3.6 mm body length, 2.5–2.7 mm width, and 0.55–0.70 mm height; cathode marked by bar on top surface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (K) | Connected to regulated output node; marking bar identifies this terminal for correct PCB orientation |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; forms reverse-biased junction for Zener conduction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide voltage range coverage | 47 V nominal in E24 series - enables direct replacement across multiple legacy 47 V Zener designs |
| Thermal resistance (junction-to-solder point) | 70 K/W - allows efficient heat transfer via cathode pad to PCB copper, supporting sustained 830 mW operation |
| Low temperature coefficient | +0.05 mV/K at IZ = 2 mA - minimizes drift over −40 °C to +85 °C operating range |
| Non-repetitive surge capability | 0.5 A peak reverse current (100 μs pulse) - provides transient overvoltage resilience without external TVS |
| Surface-mount compatibility | SOD123F footprint per Fig. 12 - matches standard reflow soldering profiles and automated placement equipment |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZT52C47-7-F | Same 47 V, ±5 %, SOD123 package but 500 mW Ptot; higher rdif (400 Ω) | Limited to lower-current regulation (<10.6 mA); unsuitable for sustained 830 mW loads | Select when board space permits larger thermal pad or when lower cost outweighs power headroom |
| MMSZ5270B-TP | 47 V, ±5 %, SOD-123 package; 500 mW Ptot, 350 Ω rdif, −65 °C to +150 °C rating | Lower surge rating (0.3 A vs. 0.5 A); identical thermal resistance but no 1 cm² pad requirement | Choose for multi-source procurement where Nexperia availability is constrained, accepting reduced surge margin |
Compared with BZT52C47-7-F and MMSZ5270B-TP, BZT52H-C47,115 delivers 66 % higher power handling and superior surge immunity - critical for industrial field interfaces where sustained overvoltage and ESD coexist.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous Zener current for BZT52H-C47,115 at 70 °C ambient?
At 70 °C ambient, derating applies: Ptot reduces linearly from 830 mW at 25 °C to zero at 150 °C. At 70 °C, allowable power is 573 mW, yielding max continuous IZ = 573 mW ÷ 47 V ≈ 12.2 mA. This assumes 1 cm² cathode pad per datasheet condition [3].
Does BZT52H-C47,115 meet automotive qualification standards?
No. Per Revision History section 13, BZT52H series was changed to non-automotive qualification in Rev. 7 (Jan 2023). Automotive-grade alternatives (e.g., BZT52H-Q series) are available separately and require explicit ordering with "-Q" suffix.
How is the cathode identified on the SOD123F package?
The cathode is marked by a visible bar on the top surface of the SOD123F package, aligned with Pin 1 per Table 2 pinning diagram. The bar corresponds to the cathode terminal (K), and the unmarked end is the anode (A).
Can BZT52H-C47,115 be used in parallel for higher power dissipation?
No. Zener diodes exhibit negative temperature coefficient variation; paralleling causes current hogging and thermal runaway. For >830 mW, use a single higher-rated device or active regulation - not parallel Zeners.
