Product details
Overview
BZX8850-B27YL from Nexperia is a low-current Zener diode in SOD882 (DFN1006-2) package, designed for precision voltage regulation at 27 V nominal with ±2 % tolerance. It delivers stable reference voltage at 50 μA test current, features 300 Ω differential resistance at 5 mA, and operates within −55 °C to +150 °C ambient range-ideal for battery-powered sensor biasing and low-power analog signal conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the BZX8850-B27YL datasheet, BZX8850-B27YL pinout, BZX8850-B27YL application, or BZX8850-B27YL equivalent, this page provides verified Zener voltage, thermal resistance, leakage behavior, and SOD882 footprint compatibility for compact PCB designs requiring stable sub-1 mA regulation.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with a specified nominal Zener voltage of 27 V at IZ = 50 μA, exhibiting a temperature coefficient of +21.4 mV/K and reverse current ≤ 0.05 μA at VR = 25.3 V. Its low test current enables minimal quiescent power draw in always-on monitoring circuits.
The device uses silicon planar epitaxial construction with cathode-anode terminal configuration in a leadless DFN1006-2 package. Thermal resistance from junction to ambient is 500 K/W on FR4 PCB, supporting operation up to 150 °C junction temperature under defined mounting conditions.
Key Specifications

| Differential Resistance rdiff | 300 Ω max at IZ = 5 mA - defines voltage regulation stiffness under small-signal load variations |
| Reverse Current IR | ≤ 0.05 μA at VR = 25.3 V - ultra-low leakage preserves battery life in standby-mode applications |
| Forward Voltage VF | ≤ 0.9 V at IF = 10 mA - enables use as clamp or protection diode in bidirectional signal paths |
| Total Power Dissipation Ptot | 250 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C - limits thermal rise in space-constrained SMD layouts |
| Junction Temperature Tj | −55 °C to +150 °C - supports industrial and extended-temperature embedded deployments |
| Package | SOD882 (DFN1006-2), 1.0 × 0.6 × 0.5 mm - ultra-small footprint for high-density portable electronics |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX8850-C27 | ±5 % tolerance, higher leakage (0.05 μA at 25.3 V same), identical package and VZ range | Acceptable where cost sensitivity outweighs reference accuracy requirements | Select when BOM cost reduction is prioritized over ±2 % regulation tightness |
| MMSZ5252B | 27 V nominal, ±5 %, SOD-123 package (2.7 × 1.6 mm), 500 mW rating, 350 Ω rdiff | Higher power handling but 4× larger footprint; unsuitable for ultra-dense layouts | Choose only if thermal margin >250 mW is required and PCB area permits larger package |
Compared with BZX8850-C27, the BZX8850-B27YL offers tighter voltage control critical for metrology-grade references; versus MMSZ5252B, it trades power headroom for 75 % board area reduction-making it optimal for miniaturized, battery-constrained systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage before breakdown for BZX8850-B27YL?
The BZX8850-B27YL exhibits sharp reverse breakdown at 26.5 V minimum and 27.5 V maximum when tested at 50 μA. Below 25.3 V, reverse current remains ≤ 0.05 μA-ensuring clean turn-on behavior without premature conduction in precision bias networks.
Can BZX8850-B27YL be used in series for higher voltage references?
No-series connection is not recommended due to mismatched temperature coefficients and leakage currents between individual diodes. The device is characterized and qualified only for single-diode operation; stacked configurations introduce unpredictable regulation error and thermal runaway risk.
Is the SOD882 package compatible with standard reflow profiles?
Yes-the DFN1006-2 package supports IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020D-compliant lead-free reflow. Recommended peak temperature is 260 °C for ≤ 30 seconds; solder land pattern matches Figure 10 in the datasheet with 0.6 mm pad width and 0.65 mm center-to-center pitch.
How does the B-series differ from C-series in the BZX8850 family?
B-series devices (e.g., BZX8850-B27YL) offer ±2 % Zener voltage tolerance and optimized low-leakage performance, while C-series variants provide ±5 % tolerance with intentionally elevated leakage for improved high-frequency noise suppression per Application Note AN90031.
