Product details
Overview
BZT5250H-C43-Q from Nexperia is a low-current Zener diode in SOD123F package, rated for 43 V nominal Zener voltage at 2 mA test current, ±5 % tolerance, 830 mW total power dissipation, and qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive use. It operates with 50 µA minimum Zener test current, enabling ultra-low-bias regulation in battery-powered sensor nodes and ECU voltage reference circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZT5250H-C43-Q datasheet, BZT5250H-C43-Q pinout, BZT5250H-C43-Q application, or BZT5250H-C43-Q equivalent, this page delivers verified Zener voltage, thermal resistance, leakage behavior, differential resistance, and automotive qualification status - all confirmed from Nexperia's Rev. 2 (18 July 2024) product data sheet.
Technical Context
This Zener diode is designed for precision low-current regulation, with specified VZ = 40.85 V to 45.15 V at IZ = 2 mA, rdiff ≤ 375 Ω, and temperature coefficient SZ = +0.05 mV/K. Its intentional minor leakage rise improves switching speed and noise suppression per AN90031.
Thermal performance is defined by Rth(j-a) = 330 K/W (free air), Rth(j-sp) = 150 K/W (solder point), and maximum junction temperature Tj = 150 °C - validated under FR4 PCB mounting conditions with 1 cm² cathode pad.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 40.85 V to 45.15 V at IZ = 2 mA - defines stable regulation window for 43 V nominal rail |
| Tolerance | ±5 % - supports cost-optimized designs where tight voltage binning is not required |
| Differential Resistance rdiff | ≤375 Ω at IZ = 2 mA - limits output impedance impact on load regulation error |
| Power Dissipation Ptot | 830 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C - enables operation up to 125 °C ambient with derating |
| Reverse Current IR | ≤0.05 µA at VR = 32.6 V - ensures minimal standby power loss in always-on circuits |
| Forward Voltage VF | 0.9 V at IF = 10 mA - defines conduction drop during forward-biased fault conditions |
| Thermal Resistance Rth(j-sp) | 150 K/W - quantifies junction-to-solder-point heat transfer for PCB-level thermal design |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C43 | Same 43 V nominal, ±5 %, but SOT23 package (higher Rth(j-a) = 450 K/W); no AEC-Q101 qualification | Limited to commercial-grade portable electronics; unsuitable for automotive or extended-temperature industrial use | Select when board space allows larger SOT23 and automotive qualification is unnecessary |
| MMSZ5255B | 43 V nominal, ±5 %, SOD123 package (not SOD123F), Ptot = 500 mW, no AEC-Q101 | Lower power handling restricts use to sub-10 mA bias networks; lacks optimized leakage profile for noise-sensitive apps | Select only for cost-driven consumer applications where thermal margin and EMI performance are secondary |
Compared with BZT5250H-C43-Q, BZX84-C43 trades automotive reliability for legacy footprint compatibility, while MMSZ5255B sacrifices thermal headroom and noise optimization to meet lower-cost targets - neither matches the combined AEC-Q101 compliance, SOD123F thermal efficiency, and AN90031-optimized leakage of the Nexperia device.

FAQ
What is the exact Zener voltage range for BZT5250H-C43-Q at 2 mA test current?
The confirmed Zener voltage range is 40.85 V to 45.15 V at IZ = 2 mA and Tj = 25 °C, per Table 9 of Nexperia's Rev. 2 (18 July 2024) datasheet. This ±5 % tolerance band is measured under standardized conditions with FR4 PCB mounting and 1 cm² cathode pad.
Does BZT5250H-C43-Q support automotive underhood applications?
Yes - it is fully qualified to AEC-Q101 for stress testing of discrete semiconductors and explicitly recommended for automotive use. Its 150 °C maximum junction temperature, -55 °C to +150 °C ambient rating, and validated thermal resistance make it suitable for underhood engine control modules and transmission control units.
How does the "intentional minor rise of leakage current" improve performance?
Per application note AN90031, this controlled leakage increase reduces minority-carrier storage time, enabling faster turn-off and lower switching noise - particularly beneficial in feedback loops of precision voltage references and low-EMI sensor bias networks where traditional Zeners exhibit ringing or overshoot.
Can BZT5250H-C43-Q replace BZT5250H-B43-Q in existing designs?
Yes - both share identical SOD123F package, pinout, and 43 V nominal rating, but differ in tolerance: BZT5250H-B43-Q is ±2 %, while BZT5250H-C43-Q is ±5 %. Substitution is acceptable where tighter voltage accuracy is not required, and the slightly higher leakage of the 'C' variant may further reduce noise in sensitive analog paths.
