Product details
Overview
BZT5250H-C47-QX from Nexperia is a low-current Zener diode in SOD123F package, designed for precision voltage regulation at 47 V nominal Zener voltage (±5 % tolerance), with 50 µA test current, 830 mW total power dissipation, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive load-dump protection and ECU reference circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZT5250H-C47-QX datasheet, BZT5250H-C47-QX pinout, BZT5250H-C47-QX application, or BZT5250H-C47-QX equivalent, this page delivers verified Zener voltage, thermal resistance, leakage behavior, cathode/anode polarity confirmation, and automotive-grade reliability data - all critical for low-bias, battery-powered, and under-hood circuit design.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with a nominal VZ of 47 V at IZ = 50 µA, exhibiting a temperature coefficient of +0.05 mV/K and differential resistance of 375 Ω at IZ = 2 mA. Its low test current enables stable regulation in ultra-low-power bias networks.
The device features intentional minor leakage current optimization per AN90031 to reduce switching noise and improve transient response in clamping applications. It is qualified to AEC-Q101 with Tj up to 150 °C and operates across –55 °C to +150 °C ambient range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 44.0 V to 50.0 V at IZ = 50 µA - defines precise clamping threshold for 47 V nominal rail protection |
| Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 830 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C - supports sustained regulation in compact SMD layouts without forced cooling |
| Differential Resistance (rdiff) | 375 Ω at IZ = 2 mA - determines output impedance and regulation sensitivity to load current variation |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 0.9 V at IF = 10 mA - confirms low-loss conduction during forward-biased transient events |
| Junction-to-Ambient Rth | 330 K/W in free air - quantifies thermal bottleneck for derating calculations in sealed enclosures |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | < 0.05 µA at VR = 37.6 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in always-on monitoring circuits |
| Capacitance (Cd) | 40 pF at VR = 0 V, f = 1 MHz - impacts high-frequency noise suppression capability in EMI filtering paths |
Pinout & Package
SOD123F surface-mount plastic package: 2.6 mm × 1.6 mm × 1.1 mm body, flat lead, single-sided copper PCB mounting, cathode marked by bar.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (K) | Connected to regulated output node; marking bar identifies this terminal for correct PCB orientation |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; forms reverse-biased junction for Zener operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-test-current Zener operation | Specified at 50 µA - enables stable voltage reference in microamp-level bias networks for portable sensors |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Qualified for automotive applications - guarantees reliability under thermal cycling, humidity, and mechanical shock per ISO/TS 16949 |
| Optimized leakage profile | Intentional minor IR rise per AN90031 - reduces switching transients and improves noise immunity in fast-clamp circuits |
| Small-form-factor SMD | SOD123F footprint - fits high-density layouts with 1 cm² cathode pad for thermal management per spec |
| Wide operating temperature | –55 °C to +150 °C ambient - supports under-hood engine control units and transmission modules |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C47 | Same 47 V nominal, ±5 % tolerance, but SOT23 package (higher Rth(j-a) = 450 K/W) and no AEC-Q101 qualification | Limited to commercial-temperature industrial controls; unsuitable for under-hood automotive use | Select when cost is prioritized over thermal performance and automotive compliance |
| MMSZ5255B | 47 V nominal, ±5 %, SOD-123 package, but rated only to 500 mW Ptot and unqualified for automotive | Acceptable for low-duty-cycle clamping in consumer IoT hubs, not for continuous regulation | Choose only for non-automotive, low-power signal conditioning where derating is acceptable |
Compared with BZX84-C47 and MMSZ5255B, BZT5250H-C47-QX provides higher power handling (830 mW vs. ≤500 mW), lower thermal resistance (330 K/W vs. ≥450 K/W), and full AEC-Q101 validation - making it the sole option for automotive-grade 47 V regulation requiring long-term stability and surge resilience.

FAQ
What is the exact Zener voltage tolerance for BZT5250H-C47-QX?
The BZT5250H-C47-QX has a nominal Zener voltage of 47 V with a tolerance of ±5 %, meaning measured VZ falls between 44.0 V and 50.0 V at IZ = 50 µA and Tj = 25 °C. This is confirmed in Table 8 of the official Nexperia datasheet Rev. 2 (July 2024).
Does BZT5250H-C47-QX support reflow soldering only?
Yes - Nexperia explicitly specifies reflow soldering as the only recommended method for SOD123F packages. The datasheet (Section 13) provides a dedicated reflow footprint with 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm solder land dimensions and prohibits wave or hand-soldering due to thermal stress risks on the small-body construction.
How does the "intentional minor rise of leakage current" affect circuit design?
This feature (per AN90031) slightly increases reverse leakage near VZ to dampen parasitic oscillations and reduce ringing during fast transients. In practice, it improves clamping fidelity in CAN/LIN bus protection without increasing steady-state power loss - verified by <0.05 µA leakage at 37.6 V.
Is the SOD123F package compatible with standard pick-and-place equipment?
Yes - the SOD123F outline (Fig. 9) meets JEDEC MO-203-2 standards with 2.6 mm × 1.6 mm body and 0.55 mm lead pitch. Its flat-lead geometry and defined centroid allow reliable placement using standard vision-guided feeders and nozzles calibrated for 0805–1206 passives.
