Product details
Overview
BZT52H-C4V7-QX from Nexperia is a ±5 % tolerance Zener diode in SOD123F package, rated for 4.4 V to 5.0 V breakdown voltage at 5 mA, with 78 Ω typical differential resistance and 3 μA reverse current at 3.5 V, used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in automotive power rails.
For engineers reviewing the BZT52H-C4V7-QX datasheet, BZT52H-C4V7-QX pinout, BZT52H-C4V7-QX application, or BZT52H-C4V7-QX equivalent, this page delivers verified Zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance (Rth(j-sp) = 150 K/W), AEC-Q101 qualification status, and automotive-grade derating guidance - all critical for ECU and ADAS subsystem design.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse-biased breakdown mode with a nominal 4.7 V regulation point, optimized for stable DC voltage clamping under transient load conditions. Its ±5 % tolerance band and low 3 μA IR at VR = 3.5 V enable predictable threshold behavior in feedback loops and protection circuits.
The device uses silicon planar technology with cathode-anode polarity defined by a marking bar on the SOD123F body. Junction-to-solder-point thermal resistance of 150 K/W supports reliable operation up to 150 °C junction temperature when mounted per recommended footprint.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZT52C4V7 | Same VZ and tolerance, but not AEC-Q101 qualified; Rth(j-sp) = 170 K/W | Limited to industrial or consumer designs without automotive reliability requirements | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive qualification needs and thermal margin permits higher Rth |
| MMSZ4705T1G | 4.7 V ±5 %, SOD-123 package, but only 500 mW Ptot and no AEC-Q101 certification | Suitable for low-power portable electronics, not for under-hood automotive environments | Choose only for space-constrained non-automotive designs where 830 mW derating is unnecessary |
Compared with BZT52H-C4V7-QX, BZT52C4V7 offers identical electrical specs but lacks automotive qualification and has higher thermal resistance, while MMSZ4705T1G reduces power capability by 40 % and omits AEC-Q101 validation - making the QX variant the sole choice for thermally demanding, safety-critical automotive voltage regulation.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current the BZT52H-C4V7-QX can handle at 25 °C ambient?
The device supports up to 250 mA forward current, but as a Zener diode, its continuous reverse current is limited by power dissipation. At 25 °C ambient and 4.7 V breakdown, the maximum steady-state reverse current is approximately 176 mA (830 mW ÷ 4.7 V), assuming ideal thermal conditions and no derating.
How does the ±5 % tolerance affect regulation accuracy in a 5 V power rail?
With a nominal 4.7 V Zener voltage and ±5 % tolerance, the actual breakdown occurs between 4.4 V and 5.0 V. In a 5 V rail clamp configuration, this means the protected node will be held within that band - acceptable for non-critical logic supplies but insufficient for precision analog references requiring tighter than ±2 %.
Can BZT52H-C4V7-QX replace BZT52C4V7 in an existing automotive design?
Yes, electrically it is a drop-in replacement with identical VZ, tolerance, and package. However, BZT52H-C4V7-QX adds AEC-Q101 qualification and lower Rth(j-sp) (150 vs. 170 K/W), enabling higher reliability and better thermal performance in automotive environments without layout changes.
What is the significance of the 'QX' suffix in the part number?
The 'QX' suffix denotes Nexperia's automotive-qualified version of the BZT52H-C4V7 part, indicating full AEC-Q101 compliance, extended temperature range (−65 °C to +150 °C), and traceable manufacturing per IATF 16949 - distinguishing it from commercial-grade variants like BZT52C4V7.
