A functional alternative with the same package and power, but a higher Zener voltage of 6.8V.
Reviewing alternatives for the BZT52C5V1-13-F, a 5.1V, 500mW Zener diode in a SOD123 package. Key considerations for replacement include matching the Zener voltage and power rating.
Zener voltage is a critical parameter; mismatch requires redesign or validation.
All viable candidates share the same SOD123 package.
There are no direct, pin-compatible replacements for BZT52C5V1-13-F in this list. All candidates have different Zener voltages.
No direct drop-in replacements were found. The closest functional alternative is MMSZ5235B-7-F, but it has a higher Zener voltage of 6.8V.
The primary risk is the Zener voltage mismatch, which will alter the circuit's voltage regulation point and could lead to malfunction or damage.
