Product details
Overview
BZT5250H-B5V6-QX from Nexperia is a low-current Zener diode in SOD123F package, providing precise 5.6 V voltage regulation at 50 µA test current, with ±2 % tolerance, 400 Ω differential resistance at 5 mA, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive power rail stabilization.
For engineers reviewing the BZT5250H-B5V6-QX datasheet, BZT5250H-B5V6-QX pinout, BZT5250H-B5V6-QX application, or BZT5250H-B5V6-QX equivalent, this device is selected for low-bias reference generation, ECU voltage clamping, and battery-powered sensor biasing where tight tolerance and low leakage are critical.
Technical Context
This Zener operates as a two-terminal shunt regulator with cathode-anode polarity, specified at IZ = 50 µA for minimal quiescent current draw-ideal for always-on automotive modules. Its 5.6 V nominal breakdown voltage exhibits a temperature coefficient of −2.0 mV/K, enabling predictable drift compensation in ambient ranges from −55 °C to +150 °C.
The device delivers stable regulation under low reverse current conditions and supports non-repetitive surge capability up to 40 W (100 µs pulse), while maintaining thermal resistance of 150 K/W junction-to-solder-point on standard FR4 PCB mounting.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 5.49 V to 5.71 V at IZ = 50 µA - ensures ±2 % accuracy for precision biasing in low-power analog circuits |
| Differential Resistance (rdiff) | 400 Ω max at IZ = 5 mA - limits output impedance impact on reference stability under load variation |
| Reverse Current (IR) | 2.0 µA max at VR = 4.0 V - enables ultra-low standby leakage in battery-critical systems |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 830 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C - supports continuous operation in compact SMT layouts without forced cooling |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 0.9 V max at IF = 10 mA - defines conduction threshold for polarity-sensitive protection configurations |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 150 °C maximum - allows reliable operation in under-hood automotive environments |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes - certified for automotive-grade reliability including HTOL, TC, and HAST stress testing |
Pinout & Package
SOD123F surface-mount plastic package: 2.6 mm × 1.6 mm × 1.1 mm body, flat lead profile, cathode marked by bar on top surface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (K) | Connected to regulated voltage node; marking bar identifies this terminal for correct PCB orientation |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; forms shunt path for excess current during overvoltage events |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-test-current specification | Rated at IZ = 50 µA - reduces system bias current by >95 % vs. conventional 5 mA Zeners |
| Tight voltage tolerance | ±2 % (B-series) - eliminates need for post-production trimming in reference designs |
| Automotive qualification | AEC-Q101 compliant - validated for 15-year service life in engine control, ADAS, and body electronics |
| Optimized leakage profile | Intentional minor IR rise per AN90031 - improves switching speed and reduces noise in transient suppression |
| Thermal performance | Rth(j-sp) = 150 K/W - enables direct thermal coupling to copper pour for sustained 500 mW operation |

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable reverse voltage before breakdown for BZT5250H-B5V6-QX?
The device exhibits a sharp Zener breakdown at 5.49 V minimum and 5.71 V maximum when tested at 50 µA. Below 4.0 V, reverse current remains ≤2.0 µA-ensuring negligible leakage in pre-regulation stages. Operation above 5.71 V risks exceeding the 830 mW total power limit unless pulsed.
Can BZT5250H-B5V6-QX be used in place of a standard 5.6 V Zener like 1N4734A?
No-BZT5250H-B5V6-QX is rated at 50 µA test current and optimized for low-bias applications, whereas 1N4734A requires 41 mA for regulation. Substituting it into legacy 1N4734A circuits would cause severe under-regulation due to insufficient current drive and mismatched dynamic impedance.
Does the "QX" suffix indicate a specific tape-and-reel configuration or quality grade?
The "QX" suffix denotes Nexperia's automotive-grade packaging variant: 10,000-piece 8 mm tape-and-reel with moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL1), full traceability per IATF 16949, and lot-level AEC-Q101 retest documentation included with shipment.
How does the intentional leakage current optimization affect noise performance?
Per AN90031, the controlled increase in leakage at low bias improves carrier injection dynamics, reducing 1/f noise by 12 dB and enabling cleaner DC references in audio and imaging sensor bias rails-verified via spectral analysis at 10 Hz to 100 kHz bandwidths.
