BZT52C16S is a 16 V, 200 mW SOD-323 Zener diode. The closest options still need FAE review for voltage or package fit.

AI replacement insight

Electrical riskmedium

18 V options change clamp level.

Package riskmedium

SOD-123 parts need layout review.

Firmware risklow

No firmware dependency for a Zener.

Sourcing risklow

Kept candidates are catalog matched.

Can it be replaced directly?

Direct replacement for BZT52C16S should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.

Best replacement path

Use BZT52C16S when possible; review BZT52C18S for same package or BZT52C16 for same voltage.

Main risk

The main risks are Zener voltage change and SOD-323 footprint compatibility.
