Product details
Overview
BZX8850-B4V7YL from Nexperia is a low-current Zener diode in SOD882 (DFN1006-2) package, designed for precision voltage regulation at 4.7 V nominal with ±2 % tolerance. It delivers stable reference voltage at 50 μA test current, exhibits 600 Ω differential resistance at IZ = 50 μA, and supports ambient temperatures from −55 °C to +150 °C - ideal for battery-powered sensor biasing and low-power analog signal conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the BZX8850-B4V7YL datasheet, BZX8850-B4V7YL pinout, BZX8850-B4V7YL application, or BZX8850-B4V7YL equivalent, this device serves as a compact, low-leakage voltage reference in space-constrained portable electronics where minimal quiescent current and tight voltage accuracy are critical selection criteria.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with a nominal Zener voltage of 4.7 V at IZ = 50 μA, maintaining regulation across a 1 μA–5 mA current range. Its temperature coefficient is −2.7 mV/K, enabling predictable drift compensation in temperature-sensitive references.
The device features a low 140 pF junction capacitance at VR = 0 V and f = 1 MHz, minimizing high-frequency coupling in filtering applications, and achieves ≤ 250 mW total power dissipation on FR4 PCB with single-sided copper.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 4.61 V to 4.79 V at IZ = 50 μA - ensures ±2 % accuracy for stable low-current reference generation |
| Differential Resistance (rdiff) | 600 Ω max at IZ = 50 μA - defines voltage regulation stiffness under light-load variations |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | ≤ 0.9 V at IF = 10 mA - enables use as low-drop rectifier or clamp in dual-polarity circuits |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤ 3.0 μA at VR = 4.7 V - guarantees minimal leakage in battery-critical standby paths |
| Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 250 mW max at Tamb ≤ 25 °C - sets thermal design margin for PCB layout without heatsinking |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 150 °C max - supports operation in industrial ambient environments up to +125 °C with derating |
| Package | SOD882 (DFN1006-2), 1.0 × 0.6 × 0.5 mm - enables 0201-class board area usage with solderable side terminals |
Pinout & Package

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse current at 4.7 V for BZX8850-B4V7YL?
The maximum reverse current (leakage) is 3.0 μA at VR = 4.7 V and Tj = 25 °C, verified per Table 8 of the official Nexperia datasheet Rev. 1 (2024). This value remains ≤ 5.0 μA across the full −55 °C to +125 °C operating ambient range, supporting ultra-low-power standby modes.
Can BZX8850-B4V7YL be used in place of a 5 V Zener diode?
No - its nominal Zener voltage is 4.7 V with a guaranteed range of 4.61 V to 4.79 V at 50 μA. Substituting it for a 5 V part introduces a systematic −6 % error in reference level, which violates typical 1 % tolerance requirements for 5 V systems. Use BZX8850-B5V1 for true 5 V regulation.
Is the SOD882 package compatible with standard reflow profiles?
Yes - the DFN1006-2 package is qualified for IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020D-compliant reflow, with peak temperature up to 260 °C for ≤ 30 seconds. Figure 10 in the datasheet specifies the recommended solder land pattern (0.6 mm pad length, 0.3 mm width), and thermal resistance Rth(j-a) = 500 K/W assumes this footprint on FR4 with single-sided copper.
Does BZX8850-B4V7YL require an external series resistor in regulation circuits?
Yes - like all Zener diodes, it requires a current-limiting resistor to set the operating point within its specified 1 μA–5 mA range. For 50 μA operation from a 5 V source, a 6.8 kΩ resistor yields 4.7 V drop across the diode and 50 μA current, satisfying both regulation stability and power dissipation limits.
