Product details
Overview
BZT5250H-B10X from Nexperia is a low-current Zener diode in SOD123F package, rated for 10 V nominal Zener voltage at 50 µA test current, with ±5 % tolerance, 830 mW total power dissipation, and 90 Ω typical differential resistance at 5 mA. It serves as a precision voltage reference or low-power regulation element in portable battery-powered circuits where minimal bias current is critical.
For engineers reviewing the BZT5250H-B10X datasheet, BZT5250H-B10X pinout, BZT5250H-B10X application, or BZT5250H-B10X equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal behavior, SOD123F mounting details, and real-world use cases - all grounded in Nexperia's Rev. 1 (18 July 2024) product data sheet.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates with a specified test current of 50 µA, enabling stable voltage regulation in ultra-low-power signal conditioning and reference circuits. Its intentional minor leakage current rise improves switching speed and reduces noise, per AN90031.
Thermal resistance from junction to solder point is 150 K/W, and junction-to-ambient is 330 K/W on FR4 PCB - confirming suitability for thermally constrained surface-mount designs without forced cooling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 9.5 V to 10.5 V at IZ = 50 µA - defines tight regulation window for 10 V reference applications |
| Differential Resistance (rdiff) | 150 Ω max at IZ = 5 mA - determines output impedance and load regulation sensitivity |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 0.9 V max at IF = 10 mA - limits forward conduction loss in bidirectional protection or clamp configurations |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 830 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C - sets maximum continuous DC or pulsed power handling on standard FR4 layout |
| Reverse Current (IR) | 0.1 µA max at VR = 7.6 V - ensures minimal quiescent drain in standby-biased reference networks |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 150 °C maximum - constrains operating ambient and PCB copper area requirements for reliability |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOD123F - surface-mount plastic package, 2.6 mm × 1.6 mm × 1.1 mm body, flat lead profile optimized for automated assembly and space-constrained PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (marked side) | Cathode (K) | Connected to regulated output node; polarity-sensitive for reverse-bias operation |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; completes Zener conduction path |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low test current operation | Specified at 50 µA - enables use in microamp-level bias networks without loading source |
| Optimized leakage profile | Intentional minor IR rise per AN90031 - reduces switching transients and broadband noise in sensing paths |
| Thermal performance | Rth(j-sp) = 150 K/W - supports reliable operation with minimal copper pour on single-sided FR4 |
| Robust surge rating | 40 W non-repetitive peak reverse power at tp = 100 µs - withstands ESD and transient overvoltage events |
Applications
| Portable Sensor Reference | Low-Power Microcontroller Reset |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZT52-C10 | Same 10 V nominal, ±5 % tolerance, but rated at 500 mW Ptot and higher rdiff (200 Ω max) | Limited to lower-power or less precise reference roles due to reduced power margin and poorer regulation | Select when board space allows larger SOD-123 or thermal budget restricts 830 mW operation |
| MMSZ5240B | 10 V nominal, ±5 %, 500 mW Ptot, 170 Ω rdiff, SOD-123 package (not SOD123F) | Slightly higher thermal resistance and no documented fast-switching leakage optimization | Choose only if legacy footprint compatibility with standard SOD-123 is required over noise-sensitive performance |
Compared with BZT5250H-B10X, BZT52-C10 offers identical voltage grading but sacrifices 330 mW power headroom and regulation stability; MMSZ5240B matches voltage tolerance but lacks the SOD123F's thermal efficiency and AN90031 noise-reduction design.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for BZT5250H-B10X?
BZT5250H-B10X has a nominal Zener voltage of 10 V with a ±5 % tolerance, meaning the actual VZ falls between 9.5 V and 10.5 V when measured at IZ = 50 µA and Tj = 25 °C. This tolerance is confirmed in Table 8 of the Nexperia datasheet Rev. 1 (18 July 2024).
Can BZT5250H-B10X be used in place of a standard 10 V Zener like 1N4740A?
No - BZT5250H-B10X is not a drop-in replacement for 1N4740A. It operates at 50 µA test current versus 25 mA for 1N4740A, has lower power rating (830 mW vs. 1 W), and uses SOD123F packaging instead of DO-41. Substitution requires redesign of bias network and thermal layout.
What does the "B" in BZT5250H-B10X signify?
The "B" denotes the ±5 % voltage tolerance grade within the BZT5250H series. Nexperia uses "B" for approximately ±5 % and "C" for tighter ±2 % tolerance. The "X" suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging per ordering code BZT5250H-B10X.
Is BZT5250H-B10X suitable for automotive applications?
No - BZT5250H-B10X is not automotive-qualified. The Nexperia datasheet explicitly states that unless otherwise specified, products are non-automotive qualified and not tested to AEC-Q101. It is intended for industrial, consumer, and portable electronics only.
