Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the BZT52C16 are identified based on strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Zener Voltage (Vz): 16 V nominal
• Power Dissipation: 500 mW maximum
• Voltage Tolerance: ±5%
• Package Type: SOD-123F surface mount
• Impedance (Zzt): 40 Ohms maximum
• Reverse Leakage Current: 45 nA @ 11.2 V
• Forward Voltage: 1 V @ 10 mA maximum
• Operating Temperature Range: -65°C to 150°C (TJ)
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected

Substitution is valid only when all electrical parameters, mechanical dimensions, and compliance certifications remain identical. Part variants from the same manufacturer with identical base product numbers (BZT52C) and matching electrical specifications are classified as parametric equivalents.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations
