Product details
Overview
BZT5250H-B33-QX from Nexperia is a low-current Zener diode in SOD123F package, rated for 33 V nominal Zener voltage at 50 µA test current, with ±2 % tolerance, 830 mW total power dissipation, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use. It serves as a precision voltage reference or low-power regulation element in battery-powered sensor nodes and ECU bias circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZT5250H-B33-QX datasheet, BZT5250H-B33-QX pinout, BZT5250H-B33-QX application, or BZT5250H-B33-QX equivalent, key selection criteria include its 33 V Zener voltage at 50 µA, low leakage optimization per AN90031, SOD123F thermal resistance (150 K/W junction-to-solder point), and AEC-Q101 qualification status.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with a specified Zener voltage of 32.3 V (min) to 33.7 V (max) at IZ = 50 µA, exhibiting a temperature coefficient of +0.05 mV/K and differential resistance ≤325 Ω at IZ = 5 mA. Its design targets stable low-bias operation where minimal quiescent current is critical.
The device features intentional minor leakage current rise to reduce switching noise, per application note AN90031, and achieves 150 °C maximum junction temperature under ambient conditions ranging from –55 °C to +150 °C. Thermal performance is defined with 1 cm² cathode pad on FR4 PCB.
