Product details
Overview
BZT52HC5V1WF-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount 5.1 V Zener diode in SOD123F package, rated for 375 mW power dissipation on standard FR-4 PCB and 830 mW with enhanced thermal pad, with 60 Ω dynamic impedance at 5 mA test current and ±2% zener voltage tolerance (4.8–5.4 V). It serves as precision voltage reference and overvoltage clamp in low-power analog supply rails.
For engineers reviewing the BZT52HC5V1WF-7 datasheet, BZT52HC5V1WF-7 pinout, BZT52HC5V1WF-7 application, or BZT52HC5V1WF-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage accuracy, low dynamic impedance, AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive environments, thermal performance under derated ambient conditions, and compatibility with automated SMT assembly using matte tin–plated terminals.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable voltage across its cathode–anode terminals. Its −2.7 to +1.2 mV/°C temperature coefficient ensures predictable drift over −65°C to +150°C operating range, and 300 pF capacitance at 1 MHz supports use in DC-biased regulation-not high-frequency signal paths.
The device uses a planar epitaxial construction with cathode band polarity marking and is optimized for low-profile mounting. Thermal resistance varies significantly-330°C/W on minimal pad layout versus 150°C/W with 1 cm² cathode pad-making PCB layout a critical design factor for power handling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage | 4.8–5.4 V at 5 mA; enables stable 5.1 V reference within ±2% for 3.3 V/5 V rail monitoring |
| Zener Impedance | 60 Ω at 5 mA; ensures <100 mV output variation under 6 mA load step |
| Power Dissipation | 375 mW (FR-4, min pad); 830 mW (FR-4, 1 cm² cathode pad); defines max continuous clamp energy |
| Reverse Leakage | ≤2 µA at 2 V; guarantees negligible quiescent current in standby voltage-sense circuits |
| Temp Coefficient | −2.7 to +1.2 mV/°C at 5 mA; allows ±15 mV drift over −40°C to +85°C industrial range |
| Capacitance | 300 pF at 1 MHz, 0 V; limits use to DC/low-frequency regulation, not RF bypass |
| Forward Voltage | 0.9 V at 10 mA; supports bidirectional ESD protection when paired with series resistor |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMSZ5231B-7-F | Same 5.1 V nominal, but 200 mW PD, 17 Ω ZZT, SOD-123 package (non-AEC-Q101) | Limited to commercial-grade consumer products; unsuitable for automotive underhood use | Select when cost-sensitive, non-automotive designs require lower impedance and accept reduced power margin |
| BZX84-C5V1 | 5.1 V, 250 mW, 60 Ω ZZT, SOT-23 package; no AEC-Q101 qualification | Higher board space usage due to larger footprint; lacks automotive reliability validation | Choose for legacy SOT-23 layouts where rework to SOD123F is impractical and AEC-Q101 is not required |
Compared with MMSZ5231B-7-F and BZX84-C5V1, BZT52HC5V1WF-7 delivers higher power capability (830 mW with thermal pad), AEC-Q101 qualification, and identical dynamic impedance-making it the sole option for thermally constrained automotive or industrial applications requiring long-term reliability.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable reverse voltage before breakdown for BZT52HC5V1WF-7?
The device exhibits sharp reverse breakdown at 4.8–5.4 V when tested at 5 mA (IZT). Below 4.8 V, reverse leakage remains ≤2 µA at 2 V; operation below breakdown is intended for leakage-critical biasing, not regulation. Exceeding 5.4 V risks uncontrolled current rise unless externally limited.
Can BZT52HC5V1WF-7 be used in parallel for higher power dissipation?
No-Zener diodes exhibit negative temperature coefficients and mismatched breakdown voltages, causing current hogging and thermal runaway when paralleled. For >830 mW requirements, use a single higher-power Zener or switch to active regulation with a shunt reference IC like TL431.
Is the SOD123F package compatible with standard 0805 reflow profiles?
Yes-the SOD123F footprint aligns with IPC-7351B SOIC-123 recommendations and withstands JEDEC J-STD-020 Class 3A reflow (peak 260°C, 20–40 sec). Matte tin annealed terminals ensure wetting on ENIG and OSP finishes without voiding or dewetting.
Does the −2.7 to +1.2 mV/°C temperature coefficient apply across the full operating range?
Yes-the coefficient is specified at IZT = 5 mA and is valid from −65°C to +150°C. However, actual drift is nonlinear near extremes; typical deviation is ±5 mV from nominal over −40°C to +125°C, verified per AEC-Q101 thermal characterization testing.
