Product details
Overview
BZT5250H-C4V7X from Nexperia is a low-current Zener diode in SOD123F package, rated for 4.7 V nominal regulation at 50 µA test current, with ±5 % tolerance, 830 mW total power dissipation, and 140 pF capacitance at 1 MHz. It serves as a precision voltage reference or low-power bias regulator in portable battery-powered circuits requiring stable low-current operation.
For engineers reviewing the BZT5250H-C4V7X datasheet, BZT5250H-C4V7X pinout, BZT5250H-C4V7X application, or BZT5250H-C4V7X equivalent, key selection criteria include its 4.7 V Zener voltage tolerance, low 50 µA test current specification, intentional leakage optimization for noise reduction, and thermal resistance of 150 K/W to solder point - all critical for compact, low-power analog sensing and standby supply design.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with a specified Zener voltage of 4.47 V (min) to 4.94 V (max) at IZ = 50 µA, exhibiting a temperature coefficient of −2.7 mV/K and differential resistance of 80 Ω at IZ = 5 mA. Its low test current enables accurate regulation under microamp-level bias conditions typical in sensor front-ends and sleep-mode circuitry.
The device features intentionally elevated leakage current per AN90031 to improve switching speed and reduce high-frequency noise, while maintaining tight voltage control across −55 °C to +150 °C ambient range. Its SOD123F package supports reflow-only assembly and delivers 70 K/W junction-to-solder-point thermal resistance when mounted on a 1 cm² cathode pad.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 4.47 V to 4.94 V at IZ = 50 µA - defines precise regulation window for low-bias reference applications |
| Tolerance | ±5 % - matches C-series marking; enables cost-effective selection where tighter tolerance is not required |
| Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 830 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C with 1 cm² cathode pad - supports moderate continuous regulation loads in compact layouts |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | ≤ 0.9 V at IF = 10 mA - ensures minimal forward conduction loss during transient polarity events |
| Capacitance (Cd) | 140 pF at VR = 0 V, f = 1 MHz - impacts high-frequency noise filtering and signal integrity in RF-adjacent bias networks |
| Thermal Resistance (Rth(j-sp)) | 150 K/W junction-to-solder point - determines temperature rise under sustained power, critical for reliability in sealed enclosures |
| Leakage Optimization | Intentional minor rise per AN90031 - reduces switching transients and broadband noise in fast-turning analog control loops |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZT52-C4V7 | Same 4.7 V nominal, ±5 %, but standard BZT52 series - no intentional leakage optimization or AN90031 tuning | Lacks noise-reduction benefit in fast-switching analog paths; higher rdiff (100 Ω vs. 80 Ω) | Prefer for cost-sensitive, non-noise-critical biasing where legacy compatibility matters |
| MMSZ4704T1G | 4.7 V, ±5 %, SOD-123 package, but rated at 500 mW Ptot and 300 Ω rdiff at 5 mA | Lower power handling and higher impedance limit use in dynamic load scenarios | Choose only if sourcing constraints require ON Semiconductor second-source; verify thermal margin at 830 mW target |
Compared with BZT52-C4V7 and MMSZ4704T1G, the BZT5250H-C4V7X delivers superior noise performance and thermal capability in the same footprint - making it optimal for next-generation low-power, high-fidelity analog subsystems where regulation stability and spectral purity are jointly constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse current (IR) at 4.0 V for BZT5250H-C4V7X?
At VR = 4.0 V and Tj = 25 °C, the typical reverse current is 3.0 µA. This value is confirmed in Table 8 of the datasheet under "Reverse current IR" for the C4V7 variant, reflecting its optimized leakage profile for noise-sensitive operation.
Can BZT5250H-C4V7X be used in place of BZT52-B4V7 in an existing design?
Yes, but with functional trade-offs: BZT5250H-C4V7X offers lower differential resistance (80 Ω vs. 100 Ω), improved thermal resistance, and intentional leakage tuning per AN90031 - beneficial for noise reduction but may alter bias point stability in high-impedance networks originally designed for the B-series' tighter ±2 % tolerance.
What is the recommended PCB pad layout for SOD123F reflow of BZT5250H-C4V7X?
The official footprint specifies 2.8 mm × 1.2 mm solder lands (2×), 2.9 mm × 1.1 mm occupied area, and 4.4 mm × 2.1 mm solder resist opening. Reflow-only assembly is mandatory; wave soldering is not supported due to thermal stress limits and package geometry.
Does BZT5250H-C4V7X meet automotive AEC-Q200 requirements?
No - this part is not AEC-Q200 qualified. The datasheet explicitly states "Non-automotive qualified products" in Section 14, and no automotive stress testing or qualification data is included. For automotive applications, Nexperia's Automotive Zener portfolio (e.g., PZTA series) must be selected instead.
