Product details
Overview
BZT5250H-B22X from Nexperia is a low-current Zener diode in SOD123F package, providing precise 22 V ±5 % regulation at 50 µA test current, with 250 Ω differential resistance at 5 mA and 0.05 µA reverse leakage at rated voltage-designed for voltage reference and biasing in portable battery-powered sensor nodes and low-power microcontroller reset circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZT5250H-B22X datasheet, BZT5250H-B22X pinout, BZT5250H-B22X application, or BZT5250H-B22X equivalent, key selection criteria include its 22 V nominal Zener voltage, ±5 % tolerance, 830 mW total power dissipation at 25 °C ambient, and intentional minor leakage optimization for fast switching and noise reduction per AN90031.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with a specified Zener voltage of 21.6 V to 22.4 V at IZ = 50 µA, exhibiting a temperature coefficient of +16.7 mV/K and 20 pF capacitance at 0 V reverse bias. Its differential resistance drops to 250 Ω at 5 mA, enabling stable regulation under light-load conditions.
The device features two tolerance series (±2 % and ±5 %), with the B-series-including BZT5250H-B22X-optimized for low-bias applications via controlled leakage current rise, improving transient response and reducing high-frequency noise in precision analog front-ends.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor MMBZ5250BS | Same 22 V ±5 % rating but SOD-323 package (1.7 mm × 1.25 mm); 300 mW Ptot; no documented leakage optimization | Higher power density but lower surge capability; unsuitable for >100 µs transient clamping | Select when board space is critical and thermal margin exceeds 150 K/W |
| Vishay BZX84-C22 | SOT-23 package; ±5 % tolerance; 500 mW Ptot; 400 Ω rdiff at 5 mA; no AN90031 compliance | Larger rdiff increases load regulation error; lacks fast-switching leakage tuning | Select only for legacy compatibility where SOT-23 footprint is mandated |
Compared with MMBZ5250BS and BZX84-C22, BZT5250H-B22X delivers superior thermal performance (830 mW vs. ≤500 mW), lower dynamic impedance (250 Ω vs. ≥400 Ω), and application-specific leakage tuning-making it optimal for battery longevity and noise-sensitive analog references.

FAQ
What is the exact Zener voltage range for BZT5250H-B22X at 50 µA test current?
The BZT5250H-B22X has a guaranteed Zener voltage range of 21.6 V to 22.4 V when measured at IZ = 50 µA and Tj = 25 °C, per Table 8 of the official Nexperia datasheet Rev. 1 (18 July 2024). This ±5 % tolerance is confirmed for the B-series variant and applies under standard test conditions without derating.
Can BZT5250H-B22X be used in place of a 24 V Zener diode?
No-BZT5250H-B22X is strictly a 22 V device with 21.6 V to 22.4 V range; substituting it for a 24 V Zener would cause under-regulation in circuits relying on precise 24 V thresholding. The nearest Nexperia part in this series is BZT5250H-B24 (23.5 V–24.5 V), which shares identical SOD123F packaging and electrical architecture.
Does BZT5250H-B22X meet RoHS and REACH compliance?
Yes-BZT5250H-B22X is manufactured by Nexperia in accordance with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006. Its SOD123F package contains no lead in solderable terminations, and full material declarations are available through Nexperia's Product Change Notification system and Aetrix Electronics' compliance portal.
Is thermal derating required above 25 °C ambient temperature?
Yes-total power dissipation must be linearly derated above 25 °C ambient. Per Table 5, Ptot decreases by 6.64 mW/°C above 25 °C, reaching zero at 150 °C. For example, at 85 °C ambient, allowable Ptot is reduced to 450 mW, calculated as 830 mW − (60 K × 6.64 mW/K).
