Product details
Overview
BZT52HC4V3WF-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount Zener diode with nominal 4.3 V zener voltage (4.0–4.6 V range), 5 mA test current, and 95 Ω maximum zener impedance at IZT. It delivers stable voltage regulation in low-power biasing and reference circuits, operating within −65 °C to +150 °C and rated for 375 mW power dissipation on standard FR-4 PCB.
For engineers reviewing the BZT52HC4V3WF-7 datasheet, BZT52HC4V3WF-7 pinout, BZT52HC4V3WF-7 application, or BZT52HC4V3WF-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its SOD123F package footprint, cathode-band polarity marking, AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive reliability, and tight 4.3 V ±0.3 V regulation tolerance at 5 mA.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain a stable reference voltage under varying load and temperature conditions. Its −3.5 to 0.0 mV/°C temperature coefficient ensures minimal drift across industrial temperature ranges, and its 450 pF capacitance at 1 MHz supports use in low-frequency regulation without signal coupling concerns.
The device uses a planar epitaxial construction with matte tin–annealed copper alloy leadframe, enabling reliable solderability per MIL-STD-202 Method 208. Its SOD123F (Type B) package provides low-profile mounting and thermal resistance of 330 °C/W on minimum pad layout or 150 °C/W with 1 cm² cathode pad - critical for thermal management in space-constrained designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 4.0–4.6 V at 5 mA - defines precise regulation window for 3.3 V or 5 V rail monitoring and clamping |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | ≤95 Ω at 5 mA - ensures low dynamic resistance for stable output under small-signal load variation |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 375 mW (FR-4, min pad) - sets max continuous DC power handling in standard PCB layouts |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤3 µA at 1 V - guarantees high off-state impedance for low-leakage bias networks |
| Capacitance (CT) | 450 pF at 1 MHz, 0 V - limits high-frequency noise coupling in analog reference paths |
| Temp Coefficient (TC) | −3.5 to 0.0 mV/°C - enables predictable voltage shift over −65 °C to +150 °C operation |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 0.9 V at 10 mA - confirms low-loss conduction when used in dual-direction protection schemes |

| BZX84-C4V3-7-F | 4.3 V nominal, 90 Ω ZZT, SOT-23, AEC-Q101, 300 mW PD | Lower power rating and slightly tighter ZZT, same temp coefficient | Selected when cost sensitivity outweighs need for 375 mW headroom |
Compared with MMBZ5229BS-7-F and BZX84-C4V3-7-F, BZT52HC4V3WF-7 offers superior thermal performance (330 °C/W vs ≥400 °C/W) and higher power capability - critical for sustained regulation in thermally dense automotive modules.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage this Zener can withstand before breakdown?
The BZT52HC4V3WF-7 has a nominal Zener voltage of 4.3 V with a guaranteed range of 4.0–4.6 V at 5 mA test current. Breakdown occurs within this range under specified test conditions; it is not rated for sustained operation above 4.6 V in regulation mode. Absolute maximum reverse voltage is not defined separately - operation beyond VZ max risks thermal runaway if power dissipation exceeds 375 mW.
Is this part suitable for use in automotive infotainment systems?
Yes - BZT52HC4V3WF-7 is AEC-Q101 qualified and rated for −65 °C to +150 °C operation, making it suitable for automotive infotainment power rails, microcontroller reset circuits, and I/O line protection. Its halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction meets Tier 1 supplier material requirements, and its SOD123F package supports automated reflow assembly.
How does the SOD123F package compare thermally to SOD-123?
The SOD123F (Type B) package features an enhanced thermal pad design versus legacy SOD-123. With a 1 cm² cathode pad, its thermal resistance drops to 150 °C/W - 55% lower than standard SOD-123's typical 330 °C/W. This allows 2.2× higher continuous power handling (830 mW vs 375 mW) under optimized PCB layout, critical for automotive under-hood applications.
Can this Zener be used in bidirectional TVS configurations?
No - BZT52HC4V3WF-7 is a unidirectional Zener diode with cathode-band polarity. It conducts only in reverse breakdown (Zener mode) and forward conduction (0.9 V @ 10 mA). For bidirectional transient suppression, two devices must be connected anode-to-anode or a dedicated bidirectional TVS (e.g., SMBJ4.3CA) is required - this part lacks symmetrical breakdown characteristics.
