Product details
Overview
BZT52H-C47-QX 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 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-C47-QX datasheet, BZT52H-C47-QX pinout, BZT52H-C47-QX application, or BZT52H-C47-QX equivalent, key selection factors include its 47 V Zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance (Rth(j-sp) = 150 K/W), non-repetitive peak reverse current (0.5 A), differential resistance (325 Ω), and automotive-grade reliability under ambient temperatures from −65 °C to +150 °C.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse-bias breakdown mode to maintain a stable 47 V reference across its terminals under regulated current conditions. Its ±5 % tolerance band and 325 Ω differential resistance define precision limits for voltage reference stability in low-current applications.
Designed for surface-mount use on FR4 PCBs with single-sided copper, it delivers 830 mW power handling at Tamb ≤ 25 °C and supports transient surge immunity up to 40 W (100 μs pulse) while maintaining junction temperature below 150 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 44.0 V to 50.0 V at IZ = 2 mA - defines usable regulation window for 47 V nominal reference |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | 325 Ω max - determines output impedance and voltage deviation under load current changes |
| Reverse Current (IR) | 90 μA max at VR = 37.6 V - specifies leakage level before breakdown onset |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 830 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C - sets maximum continuous DC power in standard PCB mounting |
| Thermal Resistance (Rth(j-sp)) | 150 K/W - quantifies junction-to-solder-point heat transfer efficiency for thermal design |
| Non-repetitive Peak Reverse Current (IZSM) | 0.5 A at tp = 100 μs - indicates surge current capability for transient suppression |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | −65 °C to +150 °C - defines operational and storage temperature envelope for automotive environments |
Pinout & Package
The BZT52H-C47-QX is housed in an SOD123F surface-mount plastic package (3.6 mm × 2.7 mm × 1.2 mm) with flat leads optimized for reflow soldering on FR4 PCBs. Cathode is marked by a bar on the device body.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (K) | Connected to regulated output node; polarity marker determines forward/reverse bias orientation |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; completes reverse-bias path for Zener conduction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive electronics per stress test requirements, enabling use in engine control, lighting, and infotainment systems |
| ±5 % Zener voltage tolerance | Supports cost-sensitive designs where tighter tolerances are unnecessary, balancing precision and unit cost |
| SOD123F package footprint | Enables high-density PCB layouts with standardized reflow-compatible land pattern (2.9 mm × 1.6 mm occupied area) |
| 830 mW power rating | Allows stable operation at up to 17.7 mA average Zener current (47 V × 17.7 mA ≈ 830 mW) in ambient-limited conditions |
| 150 °C max junction temperature | Permits deployment in under-hood environments with minimal derating when mounted per specified pad layout |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous Zener current for BZT52H-C47-QX at 25 °C ambient?
At Tamb = 25 °C and with recommended PCB mounting (1 cm² cathode pad), the device supports up to 17.7 mA continuous Zener current (830 mW ÷ 47 V), assuming negligible forward drop and no additional thermal resistance beyond datasheet Rth(j-sp) = 150 K/W.
Does BZT52H-C47-QX require heatsinking in typical automotive PCB layouts?
No external heatsink is required. With its SOD123F package and specified 1 cm² cathode copper pad on FR4, the device achieves sufficient thermal dissipation for 830 mW operation at 25 °C ambient; derating begins linearly above that temperature per the 150 K/W Rth(j-sp) value.
How does the ±5 % tolerance affect regulation accuracy in a 47 V reference circuit?
The ±5 % tolerance means the actual Zener voltage falls between 44.0 V and 50.0 V at IZ = 2 mA. In practice, this results in up to ±3.0 V absolute error in open-circuit reference applications, making it suitable for non-critical clamping but not for precision analog references requiring sub-1 % stability.
Can BZT52H-C47-QX replace older BZT52C47 variants in existing designs?
Yes - BZT52H-C47-QX maintains identical electrical specifications, SOD123F mechanical outline, and marking code (C1), while adding AEC-Q101 qualification and improved thermal performance (Rth(j-sp) = 150 K/W vs. legacy 200+ K/W). No layout or schematic changes are needed for drop-in replacement.
