Product details
Overview
BZX8850-B47YL from Nexperia is a low-current Zener diode in SOD882 (DFN1006-2) package, designed for precision voltage regulation at 47 V nominal with ±2 % tolerance. It delivers stable reference voltage at 50 µA test current, exhibits 375 Ω differential resistance at 2 mA, and features 0.05 µA reverse leakage at rated voltage-ideal for battery-powered sensor biasing and low-power analog signal conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the BZX8850-B47YL datasheet, BZX8850-B47YL pinout, BZX8850-B47YL application, or BZX8850-B47YL equivalent, this device serves as a compact, thermally efficient voltage reference where ultra-low quiescent current, tight Zener voltage tolerance, and minimal capacitance (40 pF at 0 V) are critical selection criteria.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with a nominal Zener voltage of 47 V, specified at IZ = 50 µA per JEDEC standards. Its temperature coefficient is +42.0 mV/K, indicating positive drift over temperature, and its differential resistance remains stable at ≤375 Ω up to 2 mA test current.
The device uses silicon planar technology in a leadless DFN1006-2 package with cathode-marked top-side orientation. Thermal resistance from junction-to-ambient is 500 K/W on FR4 PCB, supporting operation from −55 °C to +150 °C ambient with 250 mW total power dissipation limit.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX8850-C47 | ±5 % tolerance, higher leakage (0.05 µA vs. same), identical package and VZ range | Acceptable where cost sensitivity outweighs precision requirement | Select when ±5 % regulation accuracy suffices and tighter tolerance adds no system benefit |
| MMSZ47ET1G | Same 47 V nominal, SOD-123 package (2.7 × 1.6 mm), 500 mW Ptot, ±5 % tolerance | Requires larger PCB area but supports higher continuous power | Choose when thermal margin >250 mW is needed and board space permits larger footprint |
Compared with BZX8850-B47YL, the BZX8850-C47 trades precision for cost in identical form factor, while MMSZ47ET1G offers higher power handling at the expense of size and tolerance-making the BZX8850-B47YL optimal for miniaturized, accuracy-critical 47 V reference designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage before breakdown for BZX8850-B47YL?
The BZX8850-B47YL begins controlled Zener breakdown at a minimum of 46.1 V and reaches its upper limit at 47.9 V when tested at 50 µA. It is not rated for sustained operation above 47.9 V in reverse bias-exceeding this risks irreversible avalanche degradation or thermal runaway.
Can BZX8850-B47YL be used in forward conduction mode?
Yes-it functions as a standard silicon diode in forward bias with VF ≤ 0.9 V at 10 mA. However, its primary design purpose is reverse-biased Zener regulation; forward use is limited to transient polarity protection or basic rectification in ultra-low-current paths (<200 mA).
How does the ±2 % tolerance affect long-term stability in precision references?
The ±2 % initial tolerance is guaranteed at 25 °C and 50 µA; long-term stability depends on operating temperature, power derating, and PCB thermal design. At 70 °C ambient with 100 mW dissipation, typical drift remains within ±0.3 % over 10 years per Nexperia reliability data-no additional aging derating required for most industrial deployments.
Is reflow soldering compatible with the SOD882 package of BZX8850-B47YL?
Yes-the DFN1006-2 package is qualified for standard lead-free reflow profiles (J-STD-020). Recommended peak temperature is 260 °C for ≤30 seconds, with preheat ramp rate ≤3 °C/s. Figure 10 in the datasheet provides the exact solder land pattern (0.6 mm pad length, 0.3 mm width, 0.7 mm center-to-center pitch).
