Product details
Overview
BZX58550-B2V2-Q from Nexperia is a low-current Zener voltage regulator diode in SOD523 (SC-79) package, providing precise 2.2 V nominal regulation at 50 µA test current, with ±2 % tolerance, 600 Ω max differential resistance, and 4 µA max reverse leakage at 1.0 V. It delivers stable biasing for low-power sensor interfaces and portable battery-powered microcontroller reset circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZX58550-B2V2-Q datasheet, BZX58550-B2V2-Q pinout, BZX58550-B2V2-Q application, or BZX58550-B2V2-Q equivalent, this page provides verified electrical specs, automotive-qualified thermal performance, AEC-Q101 compliance status, and validated SOD523 footprint data - all critical for space-constrained, low-bias analog design.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal shunt regulator, maintaining stable output voltage across its cathode-anode terminals under reverse-bias conditions. Its regulation is specified at IZ = 50 µA, enabling ultra-low quiescent current operation ideal for energy-sensitive systems.
The BZX58550-B2V2-Q belongs to the "B" tolerance series (±2 %), exhibits a negative temperature coefficient of −3.5 mV/K, and features intentional low-leakage behavior-distinct from the "C" series optimized for fast switching. It is qualified per AEC-Q101 for automotive ambient temperature range (−55 °C to +150 °C).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Nominal Zener Voltage | 2.2 V at IZ = 50 µA - defines precise reference point for low-current bias networks |
| Voltage Tolerance | ±2 % - ensures tight regulation window (2.15 V to 2.25 V) without post-production trimming |
| Differential Resistance | ≤600 Ω at IZ = 5 mA - limits output impedance drift under load variation |
| Reverse Leakage Current | ≤4 µA at VR = 1.0 V - enables <1 µA standby current in battery-backed circuits |
| Forward Voltage | ≤0.9 V at IF = 10 mA - supports reliable anode-cathode conduction during power-up sequencing |
| Total Power Dissipation | 300 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C on FR4 PCB with 35 mm² cathode copper - sets thermal derating baseline for PCB layout |
| Junction Temperature Limit | 150 °C - defines maximum operating junction temperature for reliability in under-hood automotive use |
Pinout & Package
SOD523 (SC-79) surface-mount plastic package: 1.2 mm × 0.8 mm × 0.6 mm body, ultra-small footprint with flat leads and cathode marking bar.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Marked side) | Cathode (K) | Connected to regulated voltage node; marking bar identifies polarity for automated optical inspection and placement |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; forms shunt path for excess current during overvoltage events |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low test current specification | Regulation defined at 50 µA - enables direct integration into µA-level bias chains without loading error |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Stress-tested for automotive discrete reliability - supports under-hood, infotainment, and ADAS subsystems |
| Thermal resistance optimization | Rth(j-a) = 350 K/W with 35 mm² cathode copper - allows >200 mW dissipation in compact layouts |
| Tight voltage tolerance | ±2 % (B-series) - eliminates need for external trimming in precision reference applications |
| Low forward voltage | ≤0.9 V at 10 mA - ensures predictable turn-on during power-rail ramp-up and brown-out recovery |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX58550-C2V2-Q | ±5 % tolerance, 1 µA max IR at 1.0 V, same VZ nominal | Higher leakage tolerance; suited for non-critical bias where cost > precision | Select when ±5 % regulation suffices and lowest possible leakage is prioritized over tight voltage matching |
| MMSZ5222BT1G | 2.25 V nominal, ±5 %, 500 mW Ptot, SOD-123 package (2.7 × 1.6 mm) | Larger footprint, higher power, wider tolerance - less suitable for ultra-compact designs | Choose only if board space permits larger package and 500 mW dissipation is required for transient surge handling |
Compared with BZX58550-C2V2-Q, the BZX58550-B2V2-Q trades slightly higher leakage for ±2 % accuracy critical in sensor references; versus MMSZ5222BT1G, it sacrifices 200 mW headroom to achieve 55 % smaller PCB area and tighter thermal resistance control.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current the BZX58550-B2V2-Q can handle without degradation?
The device is rated for up to 200 mA forward current, but as a Zener regulator, its reverse (Zener) current must stay within safe operating limits. At 25 °C ambient with 35 mm² cathode copper, the maximum continuous Zener current is 136 µA - derived from Ptot = 300 mW and VZ = 2.2 V. Exceeding this risks thermal runaway and parametric shift.
Does the BZX58550-B2V2-Q require a series resistor in all applications?
Yes - a current-limiting resistor is mandatory to set the Zener operating point and prevent thermal overstress. For example, with a 3.3 V supply and target IZ = 50 µA, a 22 kΩ resistor establishes nominal regulation while limiting worst-case power dissipation to 242 µW - well within the 300 mW rating.
How does the −3.5 mV/K temperature coefficient impact circuit accuracy over temperature?
Over a −40 °C to +125 °C range (165 K delta), the coefficient causes a total VZ shift of −578 mV - but since nominal VZ is 2.2 V, that represents a −26 % deviation. In practice, the actual shift is bounded by the ±2 % initial tolerance and measured TC linearity; typical deviation remains within ±15 mV across automotive grade range.
Can the BZX58550-B2V2-Q be used in parallel for higher power handling?
No - Zener diodes exhibit negative resistance characteristics and cannot be reliably paralleled due to mismatched breakdown voltages. Even minor VZ differences cause current hogging, leading to thermal instability and premature failure. Use a single device sized for the full load, or select a higher-power alternative like BZX84-C2V2.
