Product details
Overview
BZT5250H-C2V2-QX from Nexperia is a low-current Zener diode in SOD123F package, providing precise 2.2 V voltage regulation at 50 µA test current with ±2 % tolerance. It delivers 830 mW total power dissipation, exhibits 210 pF capacitance at 0 V and 1 MHz, and features a temperature coefficient of −3.5 mV/K - optimized for low-bias, battery-powered automotive sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the BZT5250H-C2V2-QX datasheet, BZT5250H-C2V2-QX pinout, BZT5250H-C2V2-QX application, or BZT5250H-C2V2-QX equivalent, this device supports stable reference generation in space-constrained, AEC-Q101-qualified systems where leakage control, thermal resistance (150 K/W to solder point), and fast switching noise reduction are critical selection criteria.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with nominal 2.2 V working voltage (C-series: 2.09–2.31 V) and differential resistance ≤600 Ω at 50 µA. Its intentional minor leakage rise improves switching speed and reduces noise per AN90031, making it suitable for dynamic biasing in automotive microcontroller I/O protection circuits.
Thermal design is enabled by Rth(j-sp) = 150 K/W to cathode solder point and Rth(j-a) = 330 K/W in free air. The device sustains 200 mA forward current and 40 W non-repetitive surge power (100 µs), while maintaining junction temperature ≤150 °C across −55 °C to +150 °C ambient range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 2.2 V nominal; min 2.09 V / max 2.31 V at IZ = 50 µA - ensures tight regulation in low-power reference rails |
| Tolerance | ±2 % - enables accurate voltage clamping without post-production trimming in automotive ECUs |
| Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 830 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C on FR4 PCB with 1 cm² cathode pad - supports sustained operation in compact under-hood modules |
| Capacitance (Cd) | 210 pF at VR = 0 V, f = 1 MHz - limits high-frequency coupling in signal-line ESD protection networks |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 0.9 V max at IF = 10 mA - minimizes conduction loss during forward-biased transient suppression |
| Temperature Coefficient (SZ) | −3.5 mV/K - provides predictable, negative drift for compensation in temperature-sensitive analog front-ends |
| Reverse Current (IR) | 1.0 µA max at VR = 2.0 V - ensures ultra-low standby leakage in always-on vehicle subsystems |
Pinout & Package
SOD123F surface-mount plastic package: 2.6 mm × 1.6 mm × 1.1 mm body, flat leads, cathode marked by bar on top surface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (K) | Connected to regulated output node; marking bar identifies this terminal - required for correct polarity in shunt regulation |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail - completes reverse-bias path enabling Zener breakdown conduction |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZT52-C2V2,115 | Same SOD123F package and 2.2 V/±2 % spec, but not AEC-Q101 qualified; higher typical leakage (2.0 µA @ 2.0 V) | Limited to non-automotive industrial or consumer applications requiring cost-sensitive, non-qualified Zeners | Select when automotive qualification is unnecessary and leakage >1 µA is acceptable |
| MMSZ5222BT1G | 2.2 V/±5 % tolerance, SOD-123 package, 500 mW Ptot, no intentional leakage optimization or AEC-Q101 validation | Suitable for general-purpose board-level regulation where tighter tolerance and automotive reliability are not required | Choose only for legacy designs or cost-driven replacements where ±5 % tolerance suffices |
Compared with BZT5250H-C2V2-QX, BZT52-C2V2,115 lacks automotive qualification and has higher leakage, while MMSZ5222BT1G trades tolerance and reliability for lower cost - making the QX variant uniquely suited for safety-critical, low-leakage automotive voltage references.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation for BZT5250H-C2V2-QX at 70 °C ambient?
At 70 °C ambient, derating applies: Ptot = 830 mW − [(70 − 25) × (830 mW / 125 K)] = 530 mW. This value assumes mounting on FR4 PCB with 1 cm² cathode pad per datasheet condition [3], and reflects linear thermal derating up to Tamb = 150 °C where Ptot reaches zero.
Does BZT5250H-C2V2-QX support bidirectional ESD protection?
No - it is a unidirectional Zener diode optimized for reverse-bias regulation. Its forward voltage is 0.9 V max, but it lacks symmetric clamping characteristics or specified ESD ratings like IEC 61000-4-2. For bidirectional protection, paired Zener configurations or dedicated TVS diodes such as PESD5V0S1BA should be used.
How does the "intentional minor rise of leakage current" improve performance?
Per AN90031, this controlled leakage enhancement reduces minority-carrier lifetime, accelerating turn-off response and suppressing high-frequency ringing during transient events - directly improving noise immunity in sensitive analog sensor bias networks and CAN/LIN bus references.
Is the SOD123F package compatible with standard reflow profiles for lead-free assembly?
Yes - Nexperia specifies reflow soldering as the only recommended method, with peak temperature ≤260 °C and time above liquidus (TAL) ≤60 s. The footprint in Figure 10 (2.9 mm × 1.6 mm solder land) aligns with IPC-7351B medium density standards for SOD-123 variants.
