Product details
Overview
BZT5250H-B2V4-QX from Nexperia is a low-current Zener diode in SOD123F package, designed for precision voltage regulation at 2.4 V nominal with ±2 % tolerance. It delivers stable reference voltage at 50 µA test current, features 600 Ω differential resistance at 5 mA, and supports automotive-grade operation per AEC-Q101. It is used in battery-powered sensor biasing and low-power microcontroller reset circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZT5250H-B2V4-QX datasheet, BZT5250H-B2V4-QX pinout, BZT5250H-B2V4-QX application, or BZT5250H-B2V4-QX equivalent, this page provides verified Zener voltage, thermal resistance (150 K/W junction-to-solder point), leakage behavior, AEC-Q101 qualification status, and SOD123F footprint compatibility for PCB layout and automotive design validation.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with a nominal Zener voltage of 2.4 V at IZ = 50 µA, exhibiting a temperature coefficient of −3.5 mV/K and 200 pF capacitance at 0 V. Its low test current enables minimal quiescent power draw in always-on monitoring circuits.
The device uses silicon planar technology with intentional minor leakage optimization for fast switching and noise reduction per AN90031. It achieves 830 mW total power dissipation on FR4 PCB with 1 cm² cathode pad and withstands non-repetitive 40 W surge pulses (100 µs).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 2.35 V to 2.45 V at IZ = 50 µA - tight ±2 % tolerance ensures accurate low-voltage reference in 3.3 V or 2.5 V rail monitoring. |
| Differential Resistance (rdiff) | 600 Ω max at IZ = 5 mA - defines regulation stiffness under small load variations in precision analog sensing. |
| Reverse Current (IR) | 2.0 µA max at VR = 1.0 V - ultra-low leakage preserves battery life in portable IoT node power domains. |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 0.9 V max at IF = 10 mA - enables use as clamping diode in bidirectional signal protection paths. |
| Thermal Resistance (Rth(j-sp)) | 150 K/W - quantifies junction-to-solder-point heat transfer efficiency for thermal relief design on standard FR4. |
| Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 830 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling on recommended PCB layout. |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes - validated for automotive under-hood and infotainment applications requiring discrete semiconductor reliability. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOD123F - surface-mount plastic package, 2.6 mm × 1.6 mm × 1.1 mm body, flat lead, single-sided copper FR4 mounting, cathode marked by bar.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (K) | Connected to regulated output node; marking bar identifies this terminal; carries reverse breakdown current during regulation. |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; completes reverse-biased path enabling Zener conduction at VZ. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-test-current Zener operation | Specified at 50 µA - minimizes standby current in battery-critical applications like wearables and remote sensors. |
| Automotive qualification | AEC-Q101 compliant - guarantees reliability across −40 °C to +125 °C ambient, including thermal cycling and humidity exposure. |
| Optimized leakage profile | Intentional minor rise in IR per AN90031 - reduces switching noise and improves transient response in feedback loops. |
| Small-form-factor SMD | SOD123F footprint - occupies only 4.16 mm² board area, compatible with high-density routing in compact ECUs and modules. |
| Tight voltage tolerance | ±2 % (B-series) - eliminates need for post-assembly trimming in factory-calibrated voltage references. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZT52-C2V4 | ±5 % tolerance, higher rdiff (750 Ω), no AEC-Q101 qualification | Acceptable for consumer-grade power rails where cost outweighs precision and reliability | Select when budget constraints preclude automotive-grade parts and ±5 % VZ drift is acceptable. |
| MMSZ4676T1G | 2.4 V nominal, ±5 %, 500 mW Ptot, SOD-123 package (not SOD123F), Rth(j-a) = 330 K/W | Limited thermal performance on FR4; unsuitable for sustained >150 mW dissipation in confined layouts | Choose only if legacy footprint compatibility with older SOD-123 (not SOD123F) is required and power is strictly <100 mW. |
Compared with BZT5250H-B2V4-QX, BZT52-C2V4 trades precision and automotive reliability for lower cost, while MMSZ4676T1G sacrifices thermal robustness and qualification for broader distributor availability-neither matches the 2.4 V ±2 % + AEC-Q101 + 830 mW combination.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage before breakdown for BZT5250H-B2V4-QX?
The nominal Zener voltage is 2.4 V with a guaranteed range of 2.35 V to 2.45 V at 50 µA test current. Breakdown begins within this band; operation below 2.35 V ensures non-conductive state with ≤2.0 µA leakage at 1.0 V reverse bias. Exceeding 2.45 V initiates controlled regulation.
Can BZT5250H-B2V4-QX be used in forward-bias applications?
Yes-it exhibits 0.9 V max forward voltage at 10 mA, making it suitable as a low-drop clamping diode in signal lines or ESD protection networks. However, its primary design intent and characterization are for reverse-bias Zener regulation, not rectification or switching.
How does the SOD123F package differ from standard SOD-123 in layout?
SOD123F has a flatter profile (1.1 mm height vs. 1.3 mm) and optimized thermal pad geometry: cathode pad is extended to 1 cm² for improved heat transfer, and solder land dimensions are specified as 2.1 mm × 1.2 mm per terminal. Standard SOD-123 footprints may cause solder joint stress or thermal derating.
Is the −3.5 mV/K temperature coefficient linear across the full operating range?
Yes-the coefficient is specified as typical and linear from −40 °C to +125 °C per datasheet Section 10, Table 8. This enables first-order temperature compensation in analog front-ends without lookup tables, provided ambient gradients remain within AEC-Q101 limits.
