Product details
Overview
BZT5250H-B1V8-Q from Nexperia is a low-current Zener diode in SOD123F package, providing precise 1.8 V voltage regulation at 50 µA test current, with ±2 % tolerance, 600 Ω differential resistance at IZ = 50 µA, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use.
For engineers reviewing the BZT5250H-B1V8-Q datasheet, BZT5250H-B1V8-Q pinout, BZT5250H-B1V8-Q application, or BZT5250H-B1V8-Q equivalent, this device is selected for ultra-low-bias voltage reference, battery-powered sensor biasing, and ESD-protected logic-level clamping where tight tolerance and low leakage are critical.
Technical Context
This Zener operates in reverse breakdown mode with nominal VZ = 1.8 V at IZ = 50 µA, exhibiting a negative temperature coefficient of −3.5 mV/K and typical capacitance of 220 pF at 0 V. Its low test current enables stable regulation in micro-power circuits.
The device features intentional minor leakage optimization per AN90031 for fast switching and noise reduction, and achieves thermal resistance Rth(j-a) = 330 K/W on FR4 PCB - enabling reliable operation up to 150 °C junction temperature.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX384-B1V8 | Same 1.8 V, ±2 %, but SOD323 package (smaller); rdiff = 700 Ω at 50 µA; no AEC-Q101 qualification | Limited to consumer-grade portable devices; unsuitable for automotive due to qualification gap | Select only when board space is constrained and automotive compliance is not required |
| MMSZ4678 | 1.8 V, ±5 % tolerance; rdiff = 1000 Ω at 50 µA; Ptot = 350 mW; no leakage optimization or AEC-Q101 | Higher regulation error and lower power handling; used in cost-sensitive non-automotive designs | Acceptable for basic voltage clamping where ±5 % tolerance and 350 mW suffice |
Compared with BZT5250H-B1V8-Q, BZX384-B1V8 trades automotive qualification and thermal margin for smaller size, while MMSZ4678 sacrifices tolerance, dynamic impedance, and power rating for lower cost - making the BZT5250H-B1V8-Q optimal for regulated, high-reliability 1.8 V references in automotive and industrial edge nodes.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage before breakdown for BZT5250H-B1V8-Q?
The nominal Zener voltage is 1.8 V at 50 µA test current, with guaranteed range of 1.76 V to 1.84 V. Breakdown occurs sharply within this band; operation above 1.84 V under regulation conditions risks exceeding specified differential resistance and thermal limits.
Can BZT5250H-B1V8-Q be used in forward conduction mode?
Yes - its forward voltage is rated ≤ 0.9 V at 10 mA, making it suitable as a low-drop clamp or ESD protection diode in forward bias. However, its primary design intent and characterization are for reverse-biased Zener regulation at 50 µA.
How does the AEC-Q101 qualification impact board-level reliability?
AEC-Q101 qualification confirms successful completion of high-temperature operating life, temperature cycling, and mechanical shock tests - ensuring the device sustains electrical parameters and bond integrity over 15-year automotive service life under −40 °C to +125 °C ambient conditions.
Is the SOD123F package compatible with standard reflow profiles?
Yes - Nexperia specifies reflow soldering as the only recommended method, with footprint dimensions published for standard lead-free profiles (peak 260 °C). The 1.1 mm height and flat leads ensure coplanarity and minimize tombstoning risk on 0.4 mm pitch pads.
