Product details
Overview
BZT5250H-B30X from Nexperia is a low-current Zener diode in SOD123F package, rated for 30 V nominal Zener voltage (±5 % tolerance), 50 µA test current, and 830 mW total power dissipation. It serves as a precision voltage reference or shunt regulator in battery-powered sensor nodes and low-power microcontroller reset circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZT5250H-B30X datasheet, BZT5250H-B30X pinout, BZT5250H-B30X application, or BZT5250H-B30X equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal behavior, cathode/anode terminal mapping, and real-world use cases for low-bias voltage regulation.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown with a specified VZ = 29.4–30.6 V at IZ = 50 µA, exhibiting a temperature coefficient of +0.05 mV/K and differential resistance ≤300 Ω at IZ = 2 mA. Its low leakage current (≤0.05 µA at VR = 24 V) supports stable biasing in ultra-low-power systems.
The device uses silicon planar technology with intentional minor leakage optimization per AN90031 for reduced noise and faster transient response. Thermal resistance from junction to solder point is 70 K/W, enabling reliable operation up to Tj = 150 °C on standard FR4 PCBs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 29.4 V to 30.6 V at IZ = 50 µA - defines precise shunt regulation threshold for 3.3 V/5 V system references |
| Tolerance | ±5 % - matches B-series grading for cost-sensitive industrial and consumer applications |
| Power Dissipation Ptot | 830 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C - enables continuous regulation in compact SOD123F footprint without forced cooling |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C30 | VZ = 28.5–31.5 V at IZ = 5 mA; rdiff = 90 Ω; higher test current increases quiescent draw | Requires ≥5 mA bias - unsuitable for sub-10 µA battery systems but better for noisy industrial rails | Select when higher current stability outweighs battery life impact |
| MMSZ5250B | VZ = 28.5–31.5 V at IZ = 20 mA; Ptot = 350 mW; SOD-123 package identical but lower power rating | Limited to 350 mW continuous - restricts use in thermally constrained enclosures above 60 °C ambient | Choose only if legacy BOM mandates ON Semiconductor footprint compatibility |
Compared with BZT5250H-B30X, BZX84-C30 trades ultra-low bias current for tighter regulation under load, while MMSZ5250B sacrifices thermal headroom for second-source availability-neither replicates the 50 µA/830 mW/low-noise combination critical for portable sensing.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage the BZT5250H-B30X can withstand before breakdown?
The BZT5250H-B30X has a nominal Zener voltage of 30 V with a tolerance range of 29.4 V to 30.6 V at IZ = 50 µA. Its absolute maximum reverse voltage is not defined separately-it enters controlled breakdown within this band. Exceeding 30.6 V continuously risks thermal runaway due to its 830 mW power limit and 150 °C junction temperature ceiling.
Can BZT5250H-B30X be used in place of a standard 30 V Zener like 1N4749A?
No-BZT5250H-B30X is rated at 50 µA test current and 830 mW dissipation, whereas 1N4749A requires 56 mA test current and handles 1 W. Substituting it into a 1N4749A circuit would cause severe under-regulation and possible open-circuit failure due to insufficient bias current and thermal mismatch in through-hole layouts.
Does the "B30X" suffix indicate a specific voltage tolerance or temperature grade?
Yes-the "B" prefix denotes the ±5 % tolerance grade per E24 series, and "30" specifies the nominal 30 V Zener voltage. The "X" suffix is Nexperia's internal revision code indicating compliance with Rev. 1 (July 2024) datasheet and AN90031 leakage optimization-no temperature grade extension beyond standard –55 °C to +150 °C.
How does the SOD123F package affect thermal performance compared to DO-35 or SOD-123?
SOD123F offers 150 K/W junction-to-solder-point thermal resistance-20 % lower than standard SOD-123 and 45 % lower than DO-35-due to enhanced cathode tab thermal coupling. Its flat leads improve solder joint reliability during thermal cycling, and the 1 cm² cathode pad requirement enables 830 mW dissipation at 25 °C ambient without heatsinking.
