Product details
Overview
BZX8850-B2V2YL from Nexperia is a low-current Zener diode in SOD882 (DFN1006-2) package, designed for precision voltage regulation at 2.2 V nominal with ±2 % tolerance. It delivers stable reference voltage at 50 µA test current, exhibits 600 Ω differential resistance at 5 mA, and supports ambient temperatures from −55 °C to +150 °C - ideal for battery-powered sensor nodes and low-power microcontroller reset circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZX8850-B2V2YL datasheet, BZX8850-B2V2YL pinout, BZX8850-B2V2YL application, or BZX8850-B2V2YL equivalent, this page provides verified Zener voltage, thermal resistance, leakage behavior, cathode/anode terminal mapping, and direct alternatives for low-bias voltage reference design.
Technical Context
This Zener operates in reverse breakdown mode with a specified nominal Zener voltage of 2.2 V at IZ = 50 µA, maintaining tight ±2 % tolerance across temperature. Its differential resistance of ≤600 Ω at 5 mA ensures minimal voltage shift under small load variations.
The device features intentional minor leakage optimization per AN90031 for fast switching and noise reduction, and uses a leadless DFN1006-2 package with 1.0 × 0.6 × 0.5 mm body dimensions and top-side cathode marking bar - enabling high-density PCB layouts in space-constrained portable electronics.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener voltage VZ | 2.15 V to 2.25 V at IZ = 50 µA - defines precise low-voltage reference point for biasing or threshold detection |
| Tolerance | ±2 % - enables accurate voltage setting without post-calibration in production |
| Differential resistance rdiff | ≤600 Ω at IZ = 5 mA - limits output impedance drift under light load changes |
| Forward voltage VF | ≤0.9 V at IF = 10 mA - ensures low conduction loss when used in forward-biased protection paths |
| Total power dissipation Ptot | 250 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C on FR4 PCB - sets maximum continuous thermal budget for board-level layout |
| Junction temperature Tj | −55 °C to +150 °C - supports operation in extended industrial and automotive-adjacent environments |
| Thermal resistance Rth(j-a) | 500 K/W in free air - informs derating curves for ambient temperature rise in unheatsinked designs |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor MMBZ5222BS | 2.2 V ±5 % tolerance; SOT-23 package; 350 mW Ptot; rdiff = 25 Ω at 20 mA | Higher power rating but looser tolerance; requires larger PCB area | Select when higher surge immunity is needed and ±5 % accuracy suffices |
| Vishay BZX84-C2V2 | 2.2 V ±5 % tolerance; SOT-23 package; 300 mW Ptot; rdiff = 100 Ω at 5 mA | Lower differential resistance but wider tolerance and larger footprint | Choose for cost-sensitive designs where tighter Zener voltage control is not critical |
Compared with BZX8850-B2V2YL, MMBZ5222BS offers better power handling but sacrifices precision, while BZX84-C2V2 trades size and accuracy for lower rdiff - making the BZX8850-B2V2YL optimal for space-constrained, battery-operated systems demanding ±2 % stability at microamp bias.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed Zener voltage range for BZX8850-B2V2YL at 50 µA?
The guaranteed Zener voltage is 2.15 V minimum to 2.25 V maximum at IZ = 50 µA and Tj = 25 °C, reflecting its ±2 % B-grade tolerance. This range remains valid across the full operating junction temperature range (−55 °C to +150 °C), with temperature coefficient of −3.5 mV/K ensuring predictable drift behavior.
Can BZX8850-B2V2YL be used in forward conduction mode?
Yes - it functions as a standard silicon diode in forward bias with VF ≤ 0.9 V at IF = 10 mA. However, its primary design intent is reverse-bias Zener regulation; forward use is limited to clamping or protection roles where its low forward drop and compact package provide layout advantage.
How does the "intentional minor rise of leakage current" affect circuit performance?
This controlled leakage enhancement (per AN90031) reduces minority-carrier lifetime, improving switching speed and lowering broadband noise in reference paths. It does not increase static power consumption significantly at 50 µA test current, but yields measurable SNR improvement in high-gain analog stages like photodiode amplifiers.
Is the SOD882 package compatible with standard reflow soldering profiles?
Yes - Nexperia specifies compatibility with IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020D reflow profiles. The recommended footprint (Fig. 10) uses 0.3 mm wide × 0.9 mm long solder lands with 0.6 mm pitch; peak temperature must not exceed 260 °C for ≤30 seconds to avoid delamination or marking degradation.
