Product details
Overview
BZT52HC8V2WFQ from Diodes Incorporated is an AEC-Q101 qualified surface-mount Zener diode with nominal zener voltage 8.2 V, ±6.1% tolerance (7.7–8.7 V), 10 Ω maximum zener impedance at 5 mA test current, and 375 mW power dissipation on standard FR-4 PCB. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in automotive power rail monitoring circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZT52HC8V2WFQ datasheet, BZT52HC8V2WFQ pinout, BZT52HC8V2WFQ application, or BZT52HC8V2WFQ equivalent, key selection factors include its SOD123F package thermal performance (RθJA = 330 °C/W), low 0.7 µA max reverse leakage at 5 V, and +3.2 to +6.2 mV/°C temperature coefficient for stable regulation across -65°C to +150°C ambient.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain a stable reference voltage under varying load and temperature conditions. Its 5 mA zener test current and 10 Ω dynamic impedance ensure predictable regulation behavior in feedback paths and sensing nodes.
The device uses a planar epitaxial construction with cathode band polarity marking and matte tin–annealed copper alloy terminals. Its SOD123F package supports high power density via optimized thermal pad layout, enabling reliable operation up to 830 mW when mounted on 1 cm² cathode pad.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 7.7–8.7 V at IZT = 5 mA - defines regulated output range for voltage reference design |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | ≤10 Ω at IZT = 5 mA - ensures minimal output voltage deviation under load transients |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤0.7 µA at VR = 5 V - enables low-power standby regulation without excessive quiescent drain |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 375 mW on FR-4 (min pad) - sets maximum continuous power handling in standard PCB layouts |
| Temp. Coefficient (TC) | +3.2 to +6.2 mV/°C at IZT = 5 mA - quantifies voltage drift per degree for thermal stability analysis |
| Capacitance (CT) | ≤150 pF at f = 1 MHz, VR = 0 V - limits high-frequency noise coupling in signal-path references |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 0.9 V at IF = 10 mA - determines conduction loss if used in forward-biased protection schemes |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOD123F - flat lead, low-profile surface-mount package with molded green plastic body (UL 94V-0), cathode band marking, and matte tin–annealed copper alloy terminals.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry terminal in forward bias; connected to lower potential node in Zener regulation | Must be held ≤ (VZ – 0.9 V) below cathode to avoid forward conduction during regulation |
| Cathode | Current exit terminal in forward bias; connected to higher potential node in Zener regulation | Marked by band; ties to regulated output node; requires thermal pad for >375 mW operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive powertrain and body electronics requiring change control and PPAP documentation |
| SOD123F thermal design | Enables 830 mW dissipation with 1 cm² cathode pad - 122% higher than standard FR-4 layout limit |
| Halogen- and antimony-free | Meets <900 ppm Br, <900 ppm Cl, <1000 ppm Sb - compliant with EU "Green" material directives |
| Low reverse leakage | 0.7 µA max at 5 V reverse bias - preserves battery life in always-on vehicle subsystems |
| Stable tempco | +3.2 to +6.2 mV/°C - allows predictable compensation in wide-temperature-range sensor interfaces |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMSZ5231B-TP (Micro Commercial) | Zener voltage 5.1 V (fixed), 10 Ω ZZT, SOD-123 package, no AEC-Q101 qualification | Not suitable for automotive use; limited to industrial/commercial power rails | Select only for cost-sensitive non-automotive designs where 5.1 V reference suffices |
| BZX84-C8V2 (Nexperia) | 8.2 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, 15 Ω ZZT, SOT-23 package, AEC-Q101 qualified | Higher dynamic impedance reduces regulation accuracy under load variation | Prefer when board space constraints require SOT-23 footprint and 15 Ω ZZT is acceptable |
Compared with MMSZ5231B-TP and BZX84-C8V2, BZT52HC8V2WFQ delivers tighter voltage tolerance (±6.1% vs ±10% and ±5%), lower ZZT (10 Ω vs 10 Ω and 15 Ω), and verified automotive qualification - making it optimal for safety-critical voltage supervision where thermal stability and traceability matter.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage this Zener can withstand before breakdown?
The BZT52HC8V2WFQ has a nominal zener voltage of 8.2 V with a guaranteed range of 7.7 V to 8.7 V at 5 mA test current. Breakdown occurs within this range under controlled DC conditions; operation above 8.7 V risks exceeding power limits unless current is strictly limited by external series resistance.
Is this part suitable for use in a 24 V automotive system?
Yes - the device's 8.2 V zener voltage makes it appropriate for deriving stable reference voltages from 24 V rails using resistive dividers. Its AEC-Q101 qualification, -65°C to +150°C operating range, and 830 mW thermal capability with proper PCB layout confirm suitability for under-hood and chassis-mounted 24 V applications.
How does the SOD123F package compare thermally to standard SOD-123?
The SOD123F features a flatter leadframe profile and optimized internal thermal path, achieving RθJA = 150 °C/W with 1 cm² cathode pad versus 330 °C/W on minimal FR-4 pads. This 54% thermal resistance reduction enables higher sustained power dissipation without derating in compact automotive PCBs.
Can this Zener be used in place of a TVS diode for ESD protection?
No - while it clamps above 8.2 V, its 375 mW power rating and slow response time make it unsuitable for IEC 61000-4-2 ESD transients. It lacks the low clamping voltage, high peak pulse power, and fast turn-on required of TVS devices; use dedicated automotive-grade TVS diodes like DZ23C8V2 for such roles.
