Product details
Overview
BZT52H-C51,115 from Nexperia is a ±5 % tolerance Zener diode in SOD123F package, rated for 51 V nominal breakdown voltage at IZ = 2 mA, with 350 Ω maximum differential resistance and 100 μA reverse current at VR = 48 V, used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in low-power analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZT52H-C51,115 datasheet, BZT52H-C51,115 pinout, BZT52H-C51,115 application, or BZT52H-C51,115 equivalent, this page delivers verified Zener parameters, thermal performance under PCB-mount conditions, SOD123F footprint compliance, and direct substitution guidance for 51 V regulation tasks.
Technical Context
This Zener operates in reverse-biased breakdown mode with a temperature coefficient of +0.05 mV/K at IZ = 2 mA, enabling stable reference generation across industrial temperature ranges (−65 °C to +150 °C). Its 830 mW total power dissipation rating applies when mounted on an FR4 PCB with 1 cm² cathode pad.
The device exhibits 0.9 V forward voltage at 10 mA, supports non-repetitive peak reverse current up to 0.4 A (100 μs pulse), and maintains ≤ 40 pF capacitance at 1 MHz and 0 V bias-critical for noise-sensitive voltage-clamp applications.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5251BS-7-F (Diodes Inc.) | Same 51 V VZ, ±5 %, but SOT-23 package; 500 mW Ptot; 450 Ω rdif | Higher thermal resistance limits power handling in dense layouts | Select when SOT-23 footprint is already standardized and 51 V tolerance margin allows higher rdif |
| BZX84-C51 (Nexperia) | Same 51 V VZ, ±5 %, but SOT-23 package; 300 mW Ptot; 600 Ω rdif | Lower power rating restricts use to sub-10 mA regulation loads | Choose only for space-constrained designs where 300 mW suffices and SOT-23 is preferred |
Compared with MMBZ5251BS-7-F and BZX84-C51, BZT52H-C51,115 delivers 830 mW power capability and 350 Ω rdif in the smaller SOD123F footprint-making it optimal for high-stability, medium-power 51 V reference designs where thermal performance and board area are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation for BZT52H-C51,115 on a standard FR4 PCB?
The BZT52H-C51,115 has a total power dissipation rating of 830 mW at ambient temperature ≤25 °C when mounted on an FR4 PCB with single-sided copper, tin-plated finish, and a 1 cm² cathode mounting pad. Derating is required above 25 °C per the 150 °C maximum junction temperature limit.
How does the temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy over −40 °C to +85 °C?
At IZ = 2 mA, the BZT52H-C51,115 exhibits a temperature coefficient of +0.05 mV/K. Over −40 °C to +85 °C (125 K span), this results in a worst-case VZ shift of ±6.25 mV-well within its ±5 % (±2.55 V) tolerance band, ensuring stable regulation without active compensation.
Can BZT52H-C51,115 be used in place of BZT52C51 in existing designs?
Yes-BZT52H-C51,115 replaces BZT52C51 with identical 51 V nominal Zener voltage, ±5 % tolerance, and SOD123F package. It offers improved thermal resistance (70 K/W vs. ~100 K/W) and higher Ptot (830 mW vs. 500 mW), enabling better reliability in thermally demanding layouts.
What is the reverse leakage current at 40 V bias and 85 °C ambient?
At VR = 40 V and Tamb = 85 °C, reverse leakage remains ≤100 μA-the same maximum specified at 25 °C and VR = 48 V. The device's silicon process ensures minimal thermal runaway, with IR increasing less than 2× over the full −65 °C to +150 °C operating range.
