Product details
Overview
BZT52HC7V5WF-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount Zener diode with nominal 7.5 V zener voltage (7.0–7.9 V range), 5 mA test current, 10 Ω dynamic impedance at 5 mA, ±5 mV/°C temperature coefficient, and 150 pF capacitance at 1 MHz. It operates in reverse-biased regulation mode for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in low-power analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZT52HC7V5WF-7 datasheet, BZT52HC7V5WF-7 pinout, BZT52HC7V5WF-7 application, or BZT52HC7V5WF-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance (150 °C/W on 1 cm² cathode pad), AEC-Q101 qualification, SOD123F package footprint, and low leakage (<1 µA at 5 V reverse bias).
Technical Context
This Zener diode uses silicon planar construction with controlled avalanche breakdown to deliver stable reverse-bias voltage regulation. Its −2.5 to +5.3 mV/°C temperature coefficient enables predictable drift compensation across −65 °C to +150 °C operating range.
Designed for low-profile PCB mounting, it achieves 830 mW power dissipation when soldered with a 1 cm² copper pad-double the 375 mW rating on standard FR-4 layout. Cathode-band polarity marking ensures unambiguous orientation during automated placement.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 7.0–7.9 V at 5 mA - defines regulation window for 7.5 V nominal reference applications |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 10 Ω at 5 mA - ensures minimal output voltage shift under load variation |
| Temperature Coefficient (TC) | +2.5 to +5.3 mV/°C - supports positive-drift compensation in temperature-stable references |
| Capacitance (CT) | 150 pF at 1 MHz, 0 V - limits high-frequency noise coupling in signal-path clamping |
| Max Reverse Current (IR) | 1 µA at 5 V - guarantees low standby leakage in battery-powered sensing nodes |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 830 mW with 1 cm² cathode pad - enables higher continuous regulation current vs. standard layout |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 150 °C/W with enhanced pad - reduces junction temperature rise by ~55% vs. 330 °C/W baseline |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOD123F (Type B), flat-lead, green molding compound, UL 94V-0 rated, 0.015 g weight. Cathode identified by band marking on top surface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / Zener cathode reference node | Connected to lower-potential rail; reverse-biased operation requires anode grounded or at lower voltage than cathode |
| Cathode | Zener regulation output / voltage clamp node | Provides regulated 7.5 V output when reverse-biased; marked by visible band; requires thermal pad connection for full 830 mW rating |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified reliability | Validated for automotive electronics per stress-test requirements including HTOL, TCT, and ESD HBM ≥2 kV |
| SOD123F low-profile package | Height ≤0.85 mm enables use in space-constrained modules like sensor transceivers and wearables |
| Halogen- and antimony-free "Green" construction | Br+Cl <1500 ppm, Sb <1000 ppm - meets IPC-1752A Class 2 material declaration requirements |
| Matte tin annealed terminals | Solderable per MIL-STD-202 Method 208 - ensures robust reflow joint integrity in lead-free assembly |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5227BS-7-F | Same 7.5 V nominal, but ±5% tolerance (7.13–7.88 V); 15 Ω ZZT; SOT-23 package | Higher thermal resistance (270 °C/W) limits power handling; unsuitable for >200 mW sustained loads | Select when board space is constrained and thermal pad area is unavailable; verify layout derating for ambient >85 °C |
| BZX84-C7V5 | 7.5 V nominal, ±5% tolerance; 30 Ω ZZT; SOT-23; no AEC-Q101 qualification | Lacks automotive reliability validation; higher impedance increases regulation error under load | Acceptable for commercial-grade consumer devices where cost is prioritized over long-term stability and surge resilience |

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage this Zener can sustain before breakdown?
The BZT52HC7V5WF-7 exhibits sharp, repeatable avalanche breakdown at 7.0–7.9 V when reverse-biased at 5 mA. Below 7.0 V, reverse leakage remains ≤1 µA at 5 V; above 7.9 V, it enters full regulation with <10 Ω dynamic impedance. It is not rated for sustained operation beyond its 830 mW thermal limit.
Does this part support lead-free reflow soldering?
Yes. The device features matte tin-annealed terminals qualified per MIL-STD-202 Method 208 and compatible with standard Pb-free reflow profiles (peak 260 °C, 10 s max). Its SOD123F package withstands JEDEC J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity without baking.
How does the temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy over temperature?
With a +2.5 to +5.3 mV/°C coefficient, the zener voltage increases linearly with junction temperature. At 125 °C (ΔT = +100 °C from 25 °C), VZ rises by 250–530 mV-within the 7.0–7.9 V initial tolerance band. This enables predictable drift modeling in closed-loop compensation circuits.
Can this Zener be used in parallel for higher current handling?
No. Zener diodes exhibit manufacturing spread in VZ, causing current hogging if paralleled. For >250 mA regulation, use a single BZT52HC7V5WF-7 with adequate thermal pad area or pair with an external pass transistor-never direct parallel connection without ballast resistors.
