Product details
Overview
BZT5250H-C5V6X from Nexperia is a low-current Zener diode in SOD123F package, providing precise 5.6 V regulation at 50 µA test current with ±5 % tolerance, 400 Ω differential resistance at 5 mA, and -2.0 mV/K temperature coefficient-ideal for voltage reference and biasing in portable battery-powered sensor nodes and microcontroller reset circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZT5250H-C5V6X datasheet, BZT5250H-C5V6X pinout, BZT5250H-C5V6X application, or BZT5250H-C5V6X equivalent, this page delivers verified Zener voltage, thermal resistance, leakage behavior, package dimensions, and direct alternatives for low-power analog and digital supply rail stabilization.
Technical Context
This Zener operates in reverse breakdown mode with specified regulation at IZ = 50 µA, enabling ultra-low quiescent current design. Its intentional minor leakage rise (per AN90031) reduces noise and improves switching transients in feedback paths.
The device exhibits a negative temperature coefficient of -2.0 mV/K at 5.6 V, ensuring predictable drift over -55 °C to +150 °C ambient range. Thermal resistance from junction to solder point is 150 K/W on standard FR4 PCB, supporting stable operation under intermittent load conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 5.32 V to 5.88 V at IZ = 50 µA - defines tight regulation window for precision reference use |
| Differential Resistance rdiff | 400 Ω at IZ = 5 mA - determines output impedance and load regulation sensitivity |
| Temperature Coefficient SZ | -2.0 mV/K - quantifies voltage drift per degree Celsius, critical for temperature-stable references |
| Forward Voltage VF | ≤ 0.9 V at IF = 10 mA - ensures minimal forward conduction loss in dual-direction protection schemes |
| Total Power Dissipation Ptot | 830 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C with 1 cm² cathode pad - sets maximum continuous power handling on standard PCB |
| Junction-to-Ambient Rth(j-a) | 330 K/W in free air - informs derating requirements for unmounted or low-airflow environments |
| Reverse Current IR | ≤ 2.0 µA at VR = 4.0 V - confirms low leakage below knee voltage for standby power integrity |
Pinout & Package
SOD123F surface-mount plastic package: 2.6 mm × 1.6 mm × 1.1 mm body, flat leads, 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 regulation | Specified at 50 µA - enables use in nanoamp-level bias networks without compromising accuracy |
| Optimized leakage profile | Intentional minor IR rise per AN90031 - reduces high-frequency noise and improves transient response in feedback loops |
| Small-form-factor SMD | SOD123F footprint - supports high-density PCB layouts and automated assembly with 0.55 mm lead pitch |
| Wide operating temperature | -55 °C to +150 °C junction range - suitable for industrial and extended-temperature embedded applications |
| Two tolerance options | ±5 % (C-series) and ±2 % (B-series) - allows cost/performance trade-off selection for reference vs. general-purpose use |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZT52-C5V6 | Same 5.6 V nominal, ±5 % tolerance, but rated at 500 mW Ptot and uses SOD-123 (not SOD123F) package | Larger thermal pad requirement; higher rdiff (500 Ω) reduces regulation precision under load | Select when legacy footprint compatibility is required and power dissipation remains below 500 mW |
| MMSZ5232BT1G | 5.6 V, ±5 %, 500 mW, SOD-123 package; 700 Ω rdiff at 20 mA; no intentional leakage optimization | Higher forward voltage (1.1 V), less stable tempco (-2.5 mV/K), unsuitable for low-noise analog references | Choose only for cost-sensitive, non-critical regulation where noise and precision are secondary |
Compared with BZT5250H-C5V6X, BZT52-C5V6 offers identical voltage spec but reduced power margin and older package thermal performance, while MMSZ5232BT1G trades precision and noise control for broader distributor availability at lower unit cost.

FAQ
What is the exact Zener voltage tolerance for BZT5250H-C5V6X?
The "C" suffix denotes ±5 % tolerance, meaning the measured Zener voltage at IZ = 50 µA falls between 5.32 V and 5.88 V. This is confirmed in Table 8 of the datasheet under "BZT5250H-C5V6" entry, with min/max values explicitly listed.
Can BZT5250H-C5V6X be used in place of a 5.1 V Zener?
No-it is not a drop-in replacement for 5.1 V Zeners. Its nominal voltage is 5.6 V with a 5.32–5.88 V range; substituting it for a 5.1 V part would raise the regulated voltage by ~10 %, potentially violating downstream IC absolute maximum ratings or altering circuit thresholds.
Does the SOD123F package require special reflow profile considerations?
Yes-the datasheet specifies reflow soldering as the only recommended method. The footprint in Figure 10 mandates precise 2.8 mm × 1.2 mm solder land dimensions and 0.55 mm lead pitch alignment; wave soldering or hand-soldering risks thermal damage due to the thin leadframe and low thermal mass.
How does the "intentional minor rise of leakage current" affect circuit design?
Per AN90031, this controlled leakage improves high-frequency noise suppression and transient response in feedback networks. It does not increase steady-state power draw significantly but enhances stability in op-amp reference buffers and LDO error amplifiers where conventional Zeners exhibit oscillation.
