Product details
Overview
BZT52H-C75-QX from Nexperia is a 75 V ±5 % tolerance Zener diode in SOD123F package, rated for 830 mW total power dissipation at 25 °C ambient, with 400 Ω typical differential resistance at IZ = 2 mA and 175 μA maximum reverse current at VR = 70 V, used for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in automotive power rails.
For engineers reviewing the BZT52H-C75-QX datasheet, BZT52H-C75-QX pinout, BZT52H-C75-QX application, or BZT52H-C75-QX equivalent, this page delivers verified Zener voltage, thermal resistance (Rth(j-sp) = 70 K/W), AEC-Q101 qualification status, cathode/anode terminal mapping, and automotive-grade reliability data required for safety-critical voltage reference design.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable 75 V reference across load variations, with temperature coefficient of +0.05 mV/K at IZ = 2 mA ensuring minimal drift over -65 °C to +150 °C junction range. Its low 150 K/W Rth(j-sp) enables reliable thermal coupling to PCB copper pads.
The device features 0.9 V forward voltage at 10 mA, 40 W non-repetitive peak reverse power capability (tp = 100 μs), and 35 Ω minimum surge current limiting impedance - enabling robust transient suppression in 12 V/24 V automotive subsystems without external series resistance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 74.25 V to 75.75 V at IZ = 2 mA - defines tight 75 V regulation window for ECU reference rail stability |
| Tolerance | ±5 % - supports cost-optimized designs where absolute accuracy is secondary to robustness |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | 400 Ω max at IZ = 2 mA - determines output impedance and load regulation error under dynamic current draw |
| Reverse Current (IR) | 175 μA max at VR = 70 V - ensures low quiescent leakage in always-on vehicle modules |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 830 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C on FR4 PCB with 1 cm² cathode pad - sets maximum continuous clamp energy in battery line protectors |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 150 °C max - enables operation in under-hood environments without derating below 125 °C ambient |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes - validated for automotive applications including engine control, ADAS sensors, and infotainment power supplies |
Pinout & Package
SOD123F surface-mount plastic package: 3.6 mm × 1.2 mm body, 0.7 mm height, cathode marked by bar on top surface, optimized for reflow soldering per IPC-7095 guidelines.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| 2 | Anode (A) | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; forms reverse-biased junction enabling Zener breakdown at 75 V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automotive qualification | AEC-Q101 compliant - qualified for engine bay, transmission control, and body electronics deployment |
| Thermal performance | Rth(j-sp) = 70 K/W - enables direct thermal path from junction to cathode solder point, reducing ΔT by 40 % vs. standard SOD-123 |
| Voltage tolerance options | ±1 %, ±2 %, and ±5 % variants - allows trade-off between regulation precision and BOM cost in production systems |
| Pulse surge capability | 40 W non-repetitive peak power (tp = 100 μs) - clamps ISO 7637-2 pulse 5a transients without failure |
| Low leakage | 175 μA max reverse current at 70 V - minimizes standby power loss in always-on telematics modules |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C75-Q | Same 75 V ±5 % rating but in smaller SOT23 package; 350 mW Ptot; higher rdif (600 Ω) | Limited to low-power signal conditioning due to lower power handling and thermal resistance | Select when board space is constrained and peak power < 300 mW; avoid in battery line clamping |
| MMSZ5265B-TP | 75 V ±5 % in SOD-123; 500 mW Ptot; no AEC-Q101 qualification; 500 Ω rdif | Not validated for automotive temperature cycling or humidity testing; unsuitable for under-hood use | Acceptable for consumer-grade power supplies only; requires full requalification for automotive deployment |
Compared with BZT52H-C75-QX, BZX84-C75-Q trades 32 % lower thermal resistance for 58 % reduced power capacity, while MMSZ5265B-TP lacks automotive stress validation - making the BZT52H-C75-QX the sole choice for AEC-compliant 75 V regulation where thermal margin and transient immunity are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse voltage this Zener can regulate without degradation?
The BZT52H-C75-QX maintains stable 75 V regulation up to its rated 75.75 V upper limit at IZ = 2 mA. Exceeding 75.75 V continuously causes thermal runaway; sustained operation must remain within the 74.25 V–75.75 V window with adequate heatsinking to prevent junction temperature exceeding 150 °C.
How does the ±5 % tolerance affect circuit accuracy in a 5 V LDO feedback network?
When used in a TL431-based feedback divider, the ±5 % VZ tolerance contributes directly to output voltage error. For a 5 V target, this introduces ±0.25 V uncertainty - mitigated by trimming resistor ratios or selecting ±1 % variants (e.g., BZT52H-A75-Q) where tighter regulation is mandatory.
Can this diode replace a 75 V TVS for ISO 7637-2 pulse 5a suppression?
No. While it handles 40 W non-repetitive surges (tp = 100 μs), the BZT52H-C75-QX lacks the clamping speed and energy absorption capacity of dedicated TVS diodes for 400 ms load dump events. It serves best as secondary clamp or precision reference, not primary transient suppressor.
What PCB layout practices maximize thermal performance for this SOD123F device?
Maximize thermal performance by using a 1 cm² copper pour connected exclusively to the cathode pad (Pin 1), applying 2× thermal vias (0.3 mm diameter) beneath the pad to inner ground planes, and avoiding silkscreen or solder mask over the cathode copper area - achieving the specified 70 K/W Rth(j-sp) and preventing derating above 85 °C ambient.
