Product details
Overview
BZT52HC4V7WF-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount Zener diode with nominal zener voltage 4.7 V (4.4–5.0 V range), 5 mA test current, 78 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, and −3.5 to +0.2 mV/°C temperature coefficient. It operates in SOD123F package, delivers 375 mW power dissipation on standard FR-4 PCB, and is AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive electronics voltage regulation.
For engineers reviewing the BZT52HC4V7WF-7 datasheet, BZT52HC4V7WF-7 pinout, BZT52HC4V7WF-7 application, or BZT52HC4V7WF-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance (150 °C/W with 1 cm² cathode pad), reverse leakage (≤3 µA at 2 V), junction capacitance (300 pF @ 1 MHz), and RoHS-compliant "Green" construction.
Technical Context
This Zener diode functions as a precision voltage reference and overvoltage clamp in low-power analog and digital circuits. Its flat-lead SOD123F package enables high thermal efficiency and low-profile mounting, while the cathode-band polarity marking ensures unambiguous orientation during automated assembly.
The device exhibits a negative-to-slightly-positive temperature coefficient (−3.5 to +0.2 mV/°C) across its operating range, enabling stable regulation near room temperature. With 300 pF junction capacitance and 5 mA zener test current, it supports fast transient response in feedback loops and ESD-protected I/O conditioning.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 4.4–5.0 V @ 5 mA - defines clamping threshold for 3.3 V and 5 V rail protection |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 78 Ω @ 5 mA - ensures minimal voltage shift under load variation in reference circuits |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 375 mW (FR-4, min pad) / 830 mW (1 cm² cathode pad) - determines thermal layout requirements |

| Junction Capacitance (CT) | 300 pF @ 1 MHz, 0 V - impacts high-frequency noise filtering and signal integrity in data lines |
| Temperature Coefficient (TC) | −3.5 to +0.2 mV/°C @ 5 mA - enables predictable drift compensation in industrial temperature ranges |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 0.9 V @ 10 mA - supports use as low-drop rectifier or logic-level shunt in dual-function designs |

|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5225BS-7-F | Zener voltage 3.6 V (3.4–3.8 V), 95 Ω ZZT, 200 mW PD, SOT-23 package | Lower voltage, smaller package, lower power - suited for portable logic rail clamping | Select when board space is constrained and 3.6 V regulation suffices |
| BZX84-C4V7 | Zener voltage 4.7 V (4.4–5.0 V), 95 Ω ZZT, 300 mW PD, SOT-23 package, no AEC-Q101 | Same voltage range but lower power rating and non-automotive qualification | Acceptable for commercial-grade consumer products where AEC-Q101 is not required |
Compared with MMBZ5225BS-7-F and BZX84-C4V7, BZT52HC4V7WF-7 offers higher power handling (830 mW), AEC-Q101 qualification, and superior thermal performance in SOD123F-making it optimal for automotive and industrial environments demanding long-term reliability under thermal stress.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage this Zener can withstand before breakdown?
The BZT52HC4V7WF-7 has a nominal zener voltage of 4.7 V with a guaranteed range of 4.4–5.0 V at 5 mA test current. Its breakdown is sharp and repeatable within this range; operation above 5.0 V risks exceeding specified power limits unless current is strictly limited by external series resistance.
Does this part support reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020?
Yes - the SOD123F package is rated for moisture sensitivity level 1 per J-STD-020, meaning it may be stored indefinitely at ≤30 °C/60% RH and is compatible with standard lead-free reflow profiles (peak 260 °C, 20–40 sec above 217 °C) without baking.
How does the temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy over −40°C to +125°C?
With a TC of −3.5 to +0.2 mV/°C, the zener voltage shifts approximately ±0.26 V across that full range. For example, at 125 °C, VZ may drop ~0.26 V from its 25 °C value - a critical factor in high-accuracy references but acceptable for general-purpose clamping.
Can this diode replace a 1N4732A in existing designs?
No - the 1N4732A is a through-hole DO-41 device rated for 400 mW and 4.7 V, whereas BZT52HC4V7WF-7 is surface-mount SOD123F with different thermal characteristics, footprint, and AEC-Q101 qualification. Direct replacement requires PCB layout revision and thermal validation.
