Product details
Overview
BZX8850-C5V6YL from Nexperia is a low-current Zener diode in SOD882 (DFN1006-2) package, designed for precision voltage regulation at 5.6 V nominal with ±5 % tolerance. It delivers 400 Ω differential resistance at 5 mA, operates at 50 μA test current, and supports ≤250 mW total power dissipation-ideal for battery-powered sensor biasing and low-power reference circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZX8850-C5V6YL datasheet, BZX8850-C5V6YL pinout, BZX8850-C5V6YL application, or BZX8850-C5V6YL equivalent, key selection criteria include its 5.6 V Zener voltage tolerance, ultra-low 50 μA test current specification, 400 Ω dynamic impedance at 5 mA, SOD882 footprint compatibility, and −2.0 mV/K temperature coefficient for stable low-drift references.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with a nominal Zener voltage of 5.6 V, specified at IZ = 50 μA to ensure minimal quiescent current draw in always-on monitoring circuits. Its differential resistance of 400 Ω at 5 mA enables predictable voltage clamping under light load variations.
The device features a negative temperature coefficient of −2.0 mV/K, minimizing thermal drift in ambient-temperature-sensitive applications. Its 120 pF capacitance at 0 V and 1 MHz supports stable operation in low-frequency regulation without high-frequency coupling issues.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 5.32 V to 5.88 V at IZ = 50 μA - defines regulation window for low-bias reference design |
| Differential Resistance (rdiff) | 400 Ω at IZ = 5 mA - determines output impedance and load regulation error |
| Temperature Coefficient (SZ) | −2.0 mV/K - quantifies voltage drift per degree Celsius for thermal stability analysis |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | ≤ 0.9 V at IF = 10 mA - ensures minimal forward conduction loss in dual-direction protection schemes |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 250 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C - sets maximum continuous power handling on standard FR4 PCB |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤ 2.0 μA at VR = 4.0 V - confirms sharp knee and low leakage below regulation threshold |
| Package | SOD882 (DFN1006-2), 1.0 × 0.6 × 0.5 mm - enables high-density placement in space-constrained portable PCBs |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX8840-C5V6 | Same 5.6 V nominal, but ±2 % tolerance and 300 Ω rdiff at 5 mA; higher test current (5 mA vs. 50 μA) | Better regulation accuracy, but unsuitable for sub-μA standby circuits due to higher minimum bias requirement | Select when tighter voltage tolerance outweighs ultra-low current needs |
| MMSZ5232B | 5.6 V nominal, ±5 %, 150 mW Ptot, SOD-123 package (2.7 × 1.6 mm); rdiff = 15 Ω at 20 mA | Higher power capability and lower impedance, but 3× larger footprint and incompatible with fine-pitch layouts | Select when higher current drive or legacy SOD-123 compatibility is required |
Compared with BZX8850-C5V6YL, BZX8840-C5V6 offers tighter tolerance but demands 100× more bias current, while MMSZ5232B delivers lower impedance at higher power but occupies significantly more PCB area-making BZX8850-C5V6YL optimal for space- and current-constrained portable designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse power dissipation for BZX8850-C5V6YL?
The BZX8850-C5V6YL has a total power dissipation limit of 250 mW at ambient temperatures ≤25 °C when mounted on a standard FR4 PCB with single-sided copper. Derating is required above 25 °C at 5.0 mW/°C, based on a thermal resistance of 500 K/W junction-to-ambient.
How does the 50 μA test current affect circuit design?
The 50 μA Zener test current enables reliable regulation in ultra-low-power circuits such as battery-backed real-time clocks or energy-harvesting sensors. Designers must ensure bias networks deliver ≥50 μA under worst-case conditions-including lowest supply voltage and highest temperature-to maintain specified VZ accuracy.
Is BZX8850-C5V6YL suitable for ESD protection?
No-BZX8850-C5V6YL is not rated for ESD protection. It lacks the non-repetitive peak power rating (e.g., 40 W surge capability) and fast response time required for IEC 61000-4-2 compliance. For ESD clamping, use dedicated TVS diodes such as PESD5V0S1BA.
What does the 'YL' suffix indicate in BZX8850-C5V6YL?
The 'YL' suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging per JEDEC standard J-STD-020, with 10,000 units per reel and moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1-meaning unlimited floor life at ≤30 °C/85 % RH. This ensures compatibility with high-volume SMT assembly without baking requirements.
