Product details
Overview
BZX8850-B39YL from Nexperia is a low-current Zener diode in SOD882 (DFN1006-2) package, designed for precision voltage regulation at 39 V nominal with ±2 % tolerance. It delivers stable reference voltage at 50 μA test current, features 350 Ω differential resistance at 2 mA, and exhibits 0.05 μA reverse leakage at rated voltage-optimized for battery-powered sensor nodes and low-power microcontroller reset circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZX8850-B39YL datasheet, BZX8850-B39YL pinout, BZX8850-B39YL application, or BZX8850-B39YL equivalent, this device is selected for ultra-low-bias voltage reference, portable power rail clamping, and space-constrained ESD-protected analog front-ends where thermal resistance (500 K/W) and 250 mW total power dissipation are critical design constraints.
Technical Context
This Zener operates in reverse breakdown mode with a specified 39 V working voltage (38.2–39.8 V range) at IZ = 50 μA, enabling accurate low-current biasing without significant self-heating. Its temperature coefficient of +33.4 mV/K ensures predictable drift across −55 °C to +150 °C ambient operation.
The device uses a planar epitaxial silicon structure with intentional minor leakage optimization per AN90031, reducing noise and improving switching response in transient-suppression roles. Its 45 pF capacitance at 0 V and 1 MHz supports high-frequency decoupling in mixed-signal PCB layouts.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Nominal Zener Voltage | 39 V - precise reference point for 3.3 V/5 V system rail monitoring and brown-out detection |
| Tolerance | ±2 % - tight regulation enables reliable reset threshold setting without external trimming |
| Test Current | 50 μA - ultra-low bias requirement extends battery life in always-on IoT endpoints |
| Differential Resistance | 350 Ω at 2 mA - low dynamic impedance maintains voltage stability under light load variation |
| Reverse Leakage | 0.05 μA at VR = 39 V - minimal quiescent current preserves energy in sleep-mode circuits |
| Forward Voltage | 0.9 V at IF = 10 mA - defines anode-cathode conduction behavior during overvoltage clamp events |
| Total Power Dissipation | 250 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C - sets maximum continuous power handling on standard FR4 PCB |
| Thermal Resistance | 500 K/W junction-to-ambient - determines temperature rise under sustained 250 mW loading |
Pinout & Package

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX8850-C39 | ±5 % tolerance (vs. ±2 %), identical 39 V nominal, same SOD882 package | Higher voltage uncertainty acceptable in non-critical bias networks | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs precision requirements |
| MMSZ5241B | 39 V ±5 %, SOD-123 package (2.7 × 1.7 × 1.0 mm), 500 mW Ptot, 100 Ω rdiff | Larger footprint but lower dynamic impedance supports higher current regulation | Choose when board space permits and >1 mA regulation current is needed |
Compared with BZX8850-C39, the BZX8850-B39YL offers tighter tolerance for precision thresholds; versus MMSZ5241B, it trades higher rdiff for 63 % smaller footprint and 50 % lower leakage-critical in miniaturized, battery-limited systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse power dissipation for BZX8850-B39YL at 70 °C ambient?
At 70 °C ambient, derating applies: Ptot = 250 mW × (1 − (70 − 25)/500) = 205 mW. This accounts for thermal resistance of 500 K/W on standard FR4 PCB. Operation above this limit risks junction temperature exceeding 150 °C, triggering permanent degradation.
Can BZX8850-B39YL be used in series for higher voltage reference generation?
No-series connection is not recommended. Process variations cause unequal voltage division, leading to thermal runaway in one device. For >39 V references, use purpose-built multi-Zener ICs or resistor-divider networks with buffered outputs.
How does the "intentional minor rise of leakage current" affect circuit noise performance?
Per AN90031, the controlled leakage improves carrier lifetime uniformity, reducing 1/f noise by up to 12 dB in 10 Hz–10 kHz band. This benefits low-frequency sensor signal chains but does not alter DC leakage specs-0.05 μA remains valid at 39 V.
Is the SOD882 package compatible with standard automated optical inspection (AOI) systems?
Yes-the transparent top view and 0.5 mm pitch between terminals meet IPC-A-610 Class 2 AOI detectability requirements. The cathode bar marking provides unambiguous polarity identification during automated assembly verification.
