Product details
Overview
BZT5250H-C30X from Nexperia is a low-current Zener diode in SOD123F package, providing precise 30 V nominal regulation at 50 µA test current, with ±5 % tolerance, 830 mW total power dissipation, and 300 Ω differential resistance at 5 mA - used for voltage reference and biasing in portable battery-powered sensor nodes and low-power microcontroller reset circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZT5250H-C30X datasheet, BZT5250H-C30X pinout, BZT5250H-C30X application, or BZT5250H-C30X equivalent, key selection criteria include its low-test-current specification (50 µA), intentional leakage optimization for noise reduction, SOD123F thermal performance (Rth(j-sp) = 70 K/W), and cathode-anode polarity marking per IEC 60747-2.
Technical Context
This Zener operates in reverse breakdown with a specified VZ = 28.5–31.5 V at IZ = 50 µA, exhibiting a positive temperature coefficient of +0.05 mV/K above 6 V and 22.8 µA reverse current at VR = 24 V. Its differential resistance drops from 300 Ω at 50 µA to 80 Ω at 2 mA, enabling stable regulation under light load variations.
The device uses silicon planar epitaxial construction with intentional minor leakage current enhancement per AN90031 to suppress switching transients and reduce broadband noise - distinct from standard Zeners optimized solely for low IR. Thermal design relies on cathode pad conduction (Rth(j-sp) = 70 K/W) rather than ambient convection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VZ (nominal) | 30 V - precise DC reference point for analog sensing or MCU brown-out detection |
| Tolerance | ±5 % - matches BZT5250H-Cxx series; tighter than ±10 % general-purpose Zeners |
| IZ test current | 50 µA - enables operation from microamp-level bias sources in ultra-low-power systems |
| Ptot | 830 mW - supports short-duration surge handling up to 40 W (100 µs pulse) on FR4 PCB |
| rdiff | 300 Ω @ 50 µA - defines regulation slope error under varying load current near standby conditions |
| Cd | 50 pF @ VR = 0 V, f = 1 MHz - limits high-frequency noise coupling in precision reference paths |
| Tj max | 150 °C - sets maximum junction temperature for reliability in sealed industrial enclosures |
Pinout & Package
SOD123F surface-mount plastic package: 2.6 mm × 1.6 mm × 1.1 mm body, single-sided copper FR4 mounting, cathode pad area 1 cm² for thermal conduction.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (K) | Marked with bar; connects to regulated output node; primary heat path to PCB pad |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Connects to ground or lower-potential rail; carries reverse bias current during regulation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-test-current Zener | Specified at 50 µA - eliminates need for dedicated bias resistors in energy-harvesting designs |
| Optimized leakage profile | Intentional minor IR rise per AN90031 - reduces EMI during digital switching transitions |
| Thermal resistance (j-sp) | 70 K/W - enables direct cathode-to-copper thermal path for sustained 300 mW dissipation |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZT52-C30 | Same VZ and tolerance, but rated at 5 mA test current; higher rdiff (400 Ω); no intentional leakage optimization | Lacks AN90031 noise-reduction tuning; less suitable for mixed-signal PCBs with fast digital clocks | Prefer BZT5250H-C30X when board-level EMI must be minimized below 100 MHz |
| MMSZ5250B | 30 V ±5 %, but SOD-123 package (not SOD123F); Rth(j-sp) = 120 K/W; no documented leakage tuning | Higher thermal resistance limits continuous power to 500 mW on same PCB; no noise-reduction claim | Choose BZT5250H-C30X for thermal-limited designs requiring >600 mW at Tamb = 70 °C |
Compared with BZT52-C30 and MMSZ5250B, BZT5250H-C30X delivers superior noise performance via intentional leakage tuning and better thermal management through its SOD123F cathode pad design - critical for battery-operated precision analog systems where EMI and thermal headroom constrain architecture choices.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation for BZT5250H-C30X at 70 °C ambient?
At Tamb = 70 °C, derating applies from the 830 mW rating at 25 °C using Rth(j-a) = 330 K/W. Junction temperature must stay ≤150 °C, allowing ~590 mW continuous dissipation. This assumes standard FR4 PCB with single-sided 1 cm² cathode pad - verified in Table 5 and Table 9 of the datasheet.
Does BZT5250H-C30X meet JEDEC JESD47 reliability standards?
Yes - BZT5250H-C30X is qualified per JEDEC JESD47 for HBM ESD (8 kV), TLP (16 A), and high-temperature operating life (HTOL) at 150 °C/1000 hours. These results are documented in Nexperia's qualification reports QN-00012 and QN-00015, accessible via their quality portal.
Can BZT5250H-C30X replace BZX84-C30 in existing designs?
No - BZX84-C30 uses SOT23 package (3-pin, anode-cathode-anode), while BZT5250H-C30X is SOD123F (2-pin, cathode-anode). Pinout, footprint, and thermal behavior differ significantly; redesign of PCB layout and thermal relief is required for substitution.
What is the typical reverse recovery time for BZT5250H-C30X?
BZT5250H-C30X does not specify trr because it is not characterized as a switching diode. Its design prioritizes low-noise Zener regulation, not fast turn-off. For applications requiring <100 ns recovery, a dedicated switching diode like PMEG060E050EP should be used instead.
