Product details
Overview
BZT5250H-C8V2-QX from Nexperia is a low-current Zener diode in SOD123F package, designed for precision voltage regulation at 8.2 V nominal with ±5 % tolerance, specified at 50 µA test current, and qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive power rail stabilization and sensor biasing.
For engineers reviewing the BZT5250H-C8V2-QX datasheet, BZT5250H-C8V2-QX pinout, BZT5250H-C8V2-QX application, or BZT5250H-C8V2-QX equivalent, this device supports low-power voltage reference design, battery-powered sensor conditioning, and ECU supply rail clamping where tight leakage control and thermal stability are critical.
Technical Context
This Zener operates as a two-terminal shunt regulator with cathode-anode polarity, maintaining stable reverse breakdown at 8.2 V (min 7.79 V, max 8.61 V) under IZ = 50 µA. Its differential resistance is ≤80 Ω at IZ = 5 mA, and temperature coefficient is +3.2 mV/K - enabling predictable drift compensation in ambient ranges from −55 °C to +150 °C.
It delivers 830 mW total power dissipation on FR4 PCB with 1 cm² cathode pad, and exhibits 150 K/W junction-to-solder-point thermal resistance. The intentional minor leakage rise improves switching speed and noise reduction per AN90031, distinguishing it from standard B-series variants.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Nominal Zener Voltage | 8.2 V (min 7.79 V, max 8.61 V at IZ = 50 µA) - sets precise clamping level for 9 V rail protection |
| Tolerance | ±5 % - enables cost-optimized selection for non-critical reference applications |
| Differential Resistance | ≤80 Ω at IZ = 5 mA - ensures minimal output impedance shift under load variation |
| Test Current | 50 µA - allows ultra-low-bias operation in energy-constrained IoT sensor nodes |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZT5250H-B8V2-Q | ±2 % tolerance, lower leakage, no intentional IR optimization | Better for precision references requiring tighter initial accuracy; unsuitable where fast switching/noise reduction is prioritized | Select when absolute voltage accuracy outweighs transient noise performance |
| MMSZ5231BT1G | Same 8.2 V nominal, ±5 %, but SOD-123 package (not SOD123F), 500 mW Ptot, no AEC-Q101 qualification | Limited to commercial-grade applications; lower power handling restricts use in sustained-clamp scenarios | Choose only for cost-sensitive non-automotive designs with <500 mW thermal budget |
Compared with BZT5250H-C8V2-QX, the BZT5250H-B8V2-Q offers higher initial accuracy but lacks leakage tuning for noise-sensitive analog rails, while MMSZ5231BT1G sacrifices automotive qualification and thermal capability for lower unit cost in consumer-grade systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse power dissipation for BZT5250H-C8V2-QX at 85 °C ambient?
At 85 °C ambient, the device's maximum continuous reverse power dissipation is derated to 540 mW, calculated using its 830 mW rating at 25 °C and thermal resistance of 150 K/W (junction-to-solder point), ensuring safe operation without exceeding 150 °C junction temperature.
How does the "intentional minor rise of leakage current" affect circuit performance?
This controlled leakage increase, documented in AN90031, reduces diode capacitance transients during switching events, lowering high-frequency noise injection into adjacent analog circuits - particularly beneficial in sensor signal chains sharing PCB ground with digital subsystems.
Can BZT5250H-C8V2-QX replace BZT5250H-B8V2-Q in an existing design?
Yes, electrically - both share identical pinout, package, and nominal voltage - but the C-series introduces optimized leakage for noise reduction, while the B-series provides tighter ±2 % tolerance. System-level validation is required if noise immunity or initial accuracy is critical.
Is the SOD123F package compatible with standard reflow profiles for lead-free assembly?
Yes - Nexperia specifies reflow soldering as the only recommended method, and the SOD123F footprint in Figure 10 complies with IPC-7351B Class B standards, supporting peak temperatures up to 260 °C for JEDEC J-STD-020-compliant lead-free processes without solder joint or package integrity issues.
