Product details
Overview
BZT5250H-B47X from Nexperia is a low-current Zener diode in SOD123F package, designed for precision voltage regulation at 47 V nominal with ±5 % tolerance (C-series), specified at 50 µA test current and featuring 375 mW power dissipation on FR4 PCB. It delivers stable reference voltage in battery-powered sensor nodes and low-power microcontroller reset circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZT5250H-B47X datasheet, BZT5250H-B47X pinout, BZT5250H-B47X application, or BZT5250H-B47X equivalent, this page provides verified Zener voltage, differential resistance, thermal resistance, reverse leakage, and cathode/anode terminal mapping - all confirmed from Nexperia's Rev. 1 (18 July 2024) product data sheet.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with a nominal working voltage of 47 V (min 44.0 V, max 50.0 V at IZ = 2 mA), exhibiting a temperature coefficient of +0.05 mV/K and differential resistance of 170 Ω at IZ = 2 mA. Its low 50 µA test current enables minimal bias current draw in ultra-low-power systems.
The device uses silicon planar technology in an SOD123F surface-mount package with defined thermal resistance from junction to solder point (Rth(j-sp) = 70 K/W) and junction-to-ambient (Rth(j-a) = 150 K/W on specified FR4 layout), supporting reliable operation up to 150 °C junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 47 V nominal (44.0–50.0 V range at IZ = 2 mA); enables precise 47 V rail clamping or reference generation |
| Differential Resistance rdiff | 170 Ω at IZ = 2 mA; determines regulation stiffness and output impedance under load variation | Reverse Current IR | < 0.05 µA at VR = 32.9 V; ensures minimal standby leakage in always-on monitoring circuits |
| Forward Voltage VF | 0.9 V max at IF = 10 mA; defines forward conduction loss during transient overvoltage events |
| Total Power Dissipation Ptot | 375 mW on standard FR4 PCB (single-sided copper, tin-plated); sets maximum continuous power handling in compact layouts |
| Junction Temperature Tj | 150 °C max; defines upper thermal limit for sustained operation in industrial ambient conditions |
| Package | SOD123F (2.6 × 1.6 × 1.1 mm); supports high-density automated placement and reflow soldering per IPC-7095 |
Pinout & Package
SOD123F is a 2-terminal surface-mount plastic package with cathode marked by a bar on the body. Thermal performance relies on cathode pad area (1 cm² recommended).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (K) | Connected to regulated voltage node; marking bar identifies this terminal; primary heat path to PCB |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Connected to ground or lower-potential reference; completes reverse-bias path for Zener operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low test current specification | Rated at 50 µA - reduces quiescent current in battery-backed real-time clocks and IoT sleep-mode circuits |
| Controlled leakage optimization | Intentional minor rise in IR improves switching speed and noise reduction per AN90031 - beneficial in ADC reference stabilization |
| Tight thermal resistance control | Rth(j-sp) = 70 K/W - enables predictable thermal design when cathode pad is used as primary heatsink |
| E24 voltage coverage | 47 V option part of full 1.8–51 V range - supports standardized BOM consolidation across multiple voltage rails |
Applications
| Industrial Sensor Signal Conditioning | Microcontroller Reset Circuitry |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Stabilizing analog front-end reference voltage in 4–20 mA loop-powered temperature transmitters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener diode provides fixed 47 V shunt reference for op-amp biasing and DAC output scaling.

Use Scenario: Generating clean, temperature-stable reset threshold for ARM Cortex-M0+ MCUs in portable medical devices. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Acts as voltage supervisor element in RC-based reset generator, triggering reset below 44 V. Use Value: 170 Ω differential resistance ensures sharp knee transition and immunity to supply ripple-induced false resets. |
| Low-Power Battery Management | ESD-Protected Interface Clamping |
|
Use Scenario: Overvoltage protection and reference stabilization in coin-cell–powered wearable health monitors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Shunt regulator maintains stable 47 V auxiliary rail for BLE radio PA biasing during transmit bursts. Use Value: 375 mW power rating allows safe energy absorption during short-duration surge events without thermal runaway. |
Use Scenario: Secondary clamping stage after TVS diode in RS-485 transceiver protection network. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides fine-tuned 47 V clamp to limit residual overshoot below IC absolute maximum ratings. Use Value: 0.05 µA reverse leakage at 32.9 V prevents DC loading on high-impedance bus termination resistors. |
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 | Same Zener voltage (47 V), identical SOD123F package, but rated at ±5 % tolerance without "H" series fast-switching optimization | Lacks intentional leakage tuning per AN90031; higher rdiff (200 Ω) and no documented noise-reduction benefit | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for optimized transient response in low-noise analog stages |
| MMBZ5250BS | 47 V Zener in SOT-23 package; higher Ptot (350 mW typical), but larger footprint and 250 Ω rdiff at 20 mA | Requires different PCB layout; less suitable for space-constrained wearables due to 2.9 × 1.3 mm body vs. SOD123F's 2.6 × 1.6 mm | Choose only if existing SOT-23 footprint reuse is mandatory and thermal margin permits higher Rth(j-a) |
Compared with BZT5250H-B47X, BZT52-C47 offers identical voltage and package but lacks fast-switching leakage tuning, while MMBZ5250BS trades smaller size and lower rdiff for larger footprint and reduced thermal efficiency - making BZT5250H-B47X optimal for miniaturized, low-noise, battery-critical designs.

FAQ
What is the exact Zener voltage tolerance for BZT5250H-B47X?
The "B" suffix in BZT5250H-B47X indicates ±2 % tolerance. At 47 V nominal, this corresponds to a guaranteed range of 46.06 V to 47.94 V when measured at IZ = 2 mA and Tj = 25 °C, per Table 9 of the Rev. 1 datasheet.
Can BZT5250H-B47X be used in place of a 47 V Zener with higher power rating?
No - its 375 mW dissipation rating on FR4 PCB (per Table 4) limits continuous power handling. Substituting into circuits designed for ≥500 mW Zeners risks thermal failure. For higher power, consider Nexperia's BZX84-C47 (500 mW, SOT-23) with verified derating curves.
Does the "H" in BZT5250H-B47X affect electrical parameters beyond leakage?
Yes - the "H" denotes the fast-switching variant with intentionally elevated leakage current (documented in Section 2 and AN90031), which reduces switching time and broadband noise. This is distinct from standard BZT5250 variants and directly impacts EMI-sensitive analog reference stability.
Is the SOD123F package compatible with standard reflow profiles?
Yes - Nexperia specifies reflow soldering as the only recommended method, with footprint dimensions and solder paste deposit guidelines provided in Figure 10. The package withstands peak temperatures up to 260 °C per J-STD-020, and its 1.1 mm height ensures compatibility with automated optical inspection.
