BZT52C5V1 is a 5.1V SOD-123 zener. The closest listed substitutes still need pinout and electrical review.

AI replacement insight

Electrical riskmedium

ZZT, leakage, and test current differ.

Package riskmedium

SOD-123 matches, pinout not proven.

Firmware risklow

Discrete zener, no firmware.

Sourcing riskmedium

Vendor and lifecycle vary.

Can it be replaced directly?

Direct replacement for BZT52C5V1 should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.

Best replacement path

Start with MMSZ5231B, then MM1Z5V1, and verify polarity, leakage, ZZT, and temperature.

Main risk

Pin polarity and zener impedance are not fully verified.
