Product details
Overview
BZT5250H-C24-QX from Nexperia is a low-current Zener diode in SOD123F package, rated for 24 V nominal regulation at 50 µA test current, with ±5 % tolerance, 830 mW total power dissipation, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive voltage reference and biasing functions.
For engineers reviewing the BZT5250H-C24-QX datasheet, BZT5250H-C24-QX pinout, BZT5250H-C24-QX application, or BZT5250H-C24-QX equivalent, this device serves as a precision low-power voltage reference in battery-powered sensor nodes, automotive ECU voltage monitoring, and portable power rail stabilization where leakage-sensitive operation and thermal reliability are critical.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with a specified 24 V nominal working voltage (22.8 V min / 25.2 V max) at IZ = 50 µA, exhibiting 250 Ω typical differential resistance at 5 mA and a temperature coefficient of +0.05 mV/K - indicating near-zero thermal drift across its operating range.
Designed for low-bias applications, it features intentionally elevated leakage current to reduce switching noise and improve transient response, validated under AEC-Q101 stress testing for junction temperatures up to 150 °C and ambient ranges from −55 °C to +150 °C.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage before breakdown for BZT5250H-C24-QX?
The device exhibits a nominal Zener voltage of 24 V, with guaranteed minimum and maximum values of 22.8 V and 25.2 V respectively at IZ = 50 µA. Breakdown onset occurs within this band; operation above 25.2 V risks exceeding absolute maximum ratings and must be avoided unless transient surge conditions are explicitly modeled per Figure 1 in the datasheet.
Can BZT5250H-C24-QX replace BZT5250H-B24-Q in an existing design?
Yes - both share identical SOD123F package, 24 V nominal rating, and AEC-Q101 qualification, but differ in tolerance: B-series offers ±2 % while C-series is ±5 %. Substitution is valid if system-level tolerance budget accommodates the wider spec; no layout or thermal changes are needed.
Does the "intentional minor rise of leakage current" affect long-term reliability?
No - the elevated leakage is a controlled design feature verified across AEC-Q101 stress tests (HTOL, TC, HAST), with no degradation in parametric stability or failure rate observed over 1000+ hours at 150 °C junction temperature. It does not accelerate aging mechanisms.
What is the recommended PCB footprint for reflow soldering?
The official footprint per Figure 10 specifies 2.8 mm × 1.2 mm solder land (two pads), 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm occupied area, and 1.1 mm × 1.1 mm solder paste deposit per pad. Use only reflow soldering; wave or hand-soldering is not qualified and may damage the SOD123F molding compound.
