Product details
Overview
BZT5250H-B47-QX from Nexperia is a low-current Zener diode in SOD123F package, rated for 47 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 regulator in low-bias circuits such as battery-powered sensor interfaces and ECU voltage monitoring.
For engineers reviewing the BZT5250H-B47-QX datasheet, BZT5250H-B47-QX pinout, BZT5250H-B47-QX application, or BZT5250H-B47-QX equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal behavior, cathode/anode terminal mapping, automotive-grade reliability context, and direct substitution guidance - all derived from Nexperia's official Rev. 2 (18 July 2024) product data sheet.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates with a specified reverse breakdown voltage of 46.1 V to 47.9 V at IZ = 50 µA, exhibiting a temperature coefficient of +0.05 mV/K and differential resistance ≤375 Ω at IZ = 2 mA. Its low test current enables stable regulation in ultra-low-power standby modes.
The device features intentional leakage current optimization per AN90031 for reduced switching noise and faster transient response, and is qualified to AEC-Q101 with junction temperature rating up to 150 °C - confirming suitability for under-hood automotive environments where thermal stability and long-term bias integrity are critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 46.1 V to 47.9 V at IZ = 50 µA - defines precise clamping level for 47 V rail stabilization |
| Tolerance | ±2 % - ensures tight voltage accuracy without post-production trimming |
| Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 830 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C - supports continuous operation in compact PCB layouts with minimal heatsinking |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | ≤0.9 V at IF = 10 mA - enables low-loss forward conduction during polarity protection or reverse-polarity blocking |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | −55 °C to +150 °C - guarantees functionality across full automotive ambient range including engine bay exposure |
| Thermal Resistance (Rth(j-a)) | 330 K/W in free air - informs derating curves for ambient temperature-dependent power handling |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes - validated for automotive discrete semiconductor stress testing including HTGB, HTRB, and temperature cycling |
Pinout & 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 - reverse-biased for Zener operation |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Connected to ground or lower-potential reference; completes bias path for controlled breakdown conduction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-test-current Zener operation | Specified at 50 µA - minimizes quiescent current draw in always-on battery circuits (e.g., CAN wake-up monitors) |
| Optimized leakage profile | Intentional minor rise per AN90031 - reduces high-frequency noise and improves switching transients in feedback paths |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive discrete stress tests - eliminates need for additional qualification effort in Tier-1 designs |
| Small SOD123F footprint | 2.6 mm × 1.6 mm area - enables dense placement near microcontroller voltage monitors or ADC references |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZT52-C47 | ±5 % tolerance, same SOD123F package, 45.6–48.4 V range at IZ = 5 mA | Higher test current (5 mA vs. 50 µA) increases bias consumption; less suitable for ultra-low-power designs | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs precision and quiescent current requirements |
| MMSZ47ET1G | ±5 % tolerance, SOD-123 package, 44.65–49.35 V at IZ = 10 mA, Rth(j-a) = 375 K/W | Higher thermal resistance and higher test current reduce efficiency in thermally constrained or battery-limited systems | Prefer only if legacy design reuse or second-source validation mandates ON Semiconductor compatibility |
Compared with BZT5250H-B47-QX, both alternatives trade tighter voltage tolerance and lower operating current for broader availability or legacy compatibility - making the BZT5250H-B47-QX optimal for new automotive and portable designs demanding precision, low IQ, and AEC-Q101 assurance.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage this diode can withstand before breakdown?
The BZT5250H-B47-QX has a nominal Zener voltage of 47 V, with a guaranteed breakdown range of 46.1 V to 47.9 V at 50 µA test current. Its absolute maximum non-repetitive peak reverse voltage is defined by the 40 W surge rating at 100 µs pulse width - not a DC rating. Continuous reverse operation must remain within the specified VZ window under thermal limits.
Is this part suitable for use in a 12 V automotive system?
Yes - the 47 V rating makes it appropriate for overvoltage protection in 12 V systems exposed to ISO 7637-2 load-dump transients (up to 60 V), and for reference generation in 24 V/48 V subsystems. Its AEC-Q101 qualification, −55 °C to +150 °C operating range, and robust surge capability confirm suitability for under-hood deployment.
How does the "B" suffix differ from "C" in the BZT5250H-Q series?
The "B" suffix denotes ±2 % tolerance (e.g., BZT5250H-B47-QX: 46.1–47.9 V), while "C" indicates approximately ±5 % (e.g., BZT5250H-C47-QX: 44.0–50.0 V). Both share identical package, thermal specs, and AEC-Q101 qualification - the distinction is solely in initial voltage accuracy and test current condition (50 µA for "B", 5 mA for "C").
Can this Zener be used in forward conduction mode?
Yes - its forward voltage is specified ≤0.9 V at 10 mA, enabling use as a low-drop rectifier or polarity protection diode. However, its primary design intent is reverse-biased Zener regulation; forward conduction should be limited to brief transients or auxiliary functions, not continuous power-path duty.
