Product details
Overview
BZT5250H-B24-QX from Nexperia is a low-current Zener diode in SOD123F package, designed for precision voltage regulation at 24 V nominal Zener voltage (±5 % tolerance), with 50 µA test current, 250 Ω differential resistance at 5 mA, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use.
For engineers reviewing the BZT5250H-B24-QX datasheet, BZT5250H-B24-QX pinout, BZT5250H-B24-QX application, or BZT5250H-B24-QX equivalent, this page delivers verified Zener voltage, thermal resistance, leakage behavior, cathode/anode polarity marking, and automotive-grade reliability data - all critical for low-power biasing and reference design in constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates as a two-terminal voltage reference device, clamping reverse voltage at 24 V with ±5 % tolerance under IZ = 50 µA test condition. Its low 50 µA regulation point enables ultra-low quiescent current operation ideal for battery-backed circuits and always-on monitoring nodes.
The device exhibits 250 Ω dynamic impedance at 5 mA, a temperature coefficient of +18.2 mV/K, and junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 330 K/W on FR4 PCB - parameters directly governing stability under thermal drift and load variation in compact surface-mount designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 22.8 V to 25.2 V at IZ = 50 µA - defines regulation window for low-bias reference applications |
| Differential Resistance rdiff | 250 Ω at IZ = 5 mA - determines output impedance and load regulation error |
| Temperature Coefficient SZ | +18.2 mV/K - quantifies voltage drift per degree Celsius rise in junction temperature |
| Forward Voltage VF | 0.9 V at IF = 10 mA - sets forward conduction threshold for polarity-sensitive protection |
| Total Power Dissipation Ptot | 830 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C - limits maximum steady-state power handling on standard FR4 PCB |
| Junction-to-Ambient Rth(j-a) | 330 K/W - governs thermal rise under ambient conditions without heatsinking |
| Reverse Current IR | 0.05 µA at VR = 18.2 V - specifies leakage level below regulation knee, critical for standby power budgeting |
Pinout & Package
SOD123F plastic surface-mount package: 2.6 mm × 1.6 mm × 1.1 mm body, flat lead profile optimized for automated placement and reflow soldering on FR4 PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (K) | Marked by bar on top surface; connects to regulated voltage node in reverse-biased configuration |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Unmarked terminal; ties to ground or lower-potential rail during Zener operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZT5250H-C24-Q | ±2 % VZ tolerance (22.8–25.2 V → 23.5–24.5 V); higher test current (1 mA) yields lower rdiff (220 Ω) | Used where tighter regulation stability is required in feedback loops of isolated DC-DC controllers | Select for improved accuracy-critical references; requires marginally higher bias current |
| MMSZ5245B-TP | Same 24 V nominal rating but ±5 % tolerance, 500 mW Ptot, SOD-123 package (not AEC-Q101 qualified) | Applicable in commercial-grade power supplies where automotive qualification is not mandated | Choose for cost-sensitive industrial designs lacking automotive compliance requirements |
Compared with BZT5250H-B24-QX, the C24-Q variant offers tighter tolerance and lower impedance at higher bias, while MMSZ5245B-TP provides identical electrical specs without AEC-Q101 validation - making the original optimal for automotive-qualified, low-leakage, thermally constrained designs.

FAQ
What is the exact Zener voltage range for BZT5250H-B24-QX at 50 µA test current?
The BZT5250H-B24-QX has a guaranteed Zener voltage range of 22.8 V to 25.2 V when measured at IZ = 50 µA and Tj = 25 °C, per Table 8 of the official Nexperia datasheet Rev. 2 (July 2024). This ±5 % tolerance reflects the 'B' grade series and is validated across production lots.
Is BZT5250H-B24-QX suitable for use in automotive under-hood applications?
Yes - BZT5250H-B24-QX is fully qualified to AEC-Q101 standards and rated for operation from -55 °C to +150 °C ambient temperature. Its SOD123F package, 150 °C max junction temperature, and thermal resistance characteristics make it suitable for under-hood engine control and lighting modules.
How does the 50 µA test current affect circuit design compared to standard 5 mA Zeners?
Operating at 50 µA allows BZT5250H-B24-QX to regulate with minimal current draw - critical for battery-powered systems. However, designers must ensure series resistor values deliver ≥50 µA across expected input voltage variations, and account for higher dynamic impedance (250 Ω vs ~100 Ω at 5 mA) when calculating load regulation error.
What does the 'QX' suffix indicate in BZT5250H-B24-QX?
The 'QX' suffix denotes Nexperia's tape-and-reel packaging option with 10,000 units per reel, compliant with EIA-481-D standards. It also signifies full AEC-Q101 qualification and inclusion in Nexperia's automotive product change notification (PCN) program for controlled lifecycle management.
