Product details
Overview
BZX8850S-B27-QYL from Nexperia is a low-current Zener voltage regulator diode in the BZX8850S-Q series, designed for precision voltage reference and regulation in space-constrained, low-power circuits. It delivers a nominal 27 V Zener voltage at 50 µA test current, with ±2 % tolerance (B-series), 365 mW total power dissipation, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use.
For engineers reviewing the BZX8850S-B27-QYL datasheet, BZX8850S-B27-QYL pinout, BZX8850S-B27-QYL application, or BZX8850S-B27-QYL equivalent, key selection criteria include its ultra-low test current operation, side-wettable DFN1006BD-2 package for automated optical inspection, differential resistance of 300 Ω at 5 mA, and temperature coefficient of +20.4 mV/K - critical for stable biasing in battery-powered sensor nodes and automotive ECUs.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with a specified working voltage of 26.5 V to 27.5 V at IZ = 50 µA, exhibiting a positive temperature coefficient (+20.4 mV/K) that ensures predictable drift over temperature. Its low 50 µA test current enables stable regulation in micro-power circuits where quiescent current must remain below 100 µA.
The device uses a planar silicon process optimized for low leakage and fast transient response, with intentional minor leakage rise (per AN90031) to reduce noise and improve switching behavior in feedback paths. It is rated for junction temperatures up to 150 °C and qualified per AEC-Q101 for under-hood automotive environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 26.5 V to 27.5 V at IZ = 50 µA - defines precise regulation point for low-bias reference circuits |
| Tolerance | ±2 % (B-series) - enables tight voltage margin control in safety-critical automotive sensors |
| Differential Resistance (rdiff) | 300 Ω max at IZ = 5 mA - determines output impedance and load regulation sensitivity |
| Temperature Coefficient (SZ) | +20.4 mV/K - quantifies voltage drift per degree Celsius for thermal design margining |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 365 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C on FR4 PCB - sets maximum continuous power handling in standard layout |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 0.9 V max at IF = 10 mA - defines conduction loss when used in forward-biased protection paths |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | −55 °C to +150 °C - supports operation in extended-temperature automotive and industrial environments |
Pinout & Package

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX8840S-B27-QYL | Same 27 V, ±2 %, but in larger SOD323 package (1.7 mm × 1.3 mm); 500 mW Ptot; no side-wettable flanks | Not suitable for AOI-dependent high-volume automotive SMT lines; better for prototyping or manual rework | Select if board real estate permits larger footprint and AOI is not required. |
| MMSZ5256ET1G | 27 V, ±5 %, SOD-123 package; 500 mW Ptot; no AEC-Q101 qualification; 700 Ω rdiff at 20 mA | Lacks automotive qualification and low-current optimization; higher rdiff degrades regulation under varying load | Select only for cost-sensitive non-automotive consumer applications with relaxed accuracy and reliability needs. |
Compared with BZX8850S-B27-QYL, the BZX8840S-B27-QYL offers higher power headroom but sacrifices AOI compatibility and board density, while the MMSZ5256ET1G trades AEC-Q101 compliance and low-current performance for lower unit cost in non-critical designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse current (IR) at 24 V for BZX8850S-B27-QYL?
At 24 V reverse bias and Tj = 25 °C, the typical reverse current is less than 0.05 µA, as confirmed in Table 8 of the datasheet for B-series 27 V types. This ultra-low leakage ensures minimal power loss in always-on monitoring circuits and preserves battery life in energy-harvesting systems.
Can BZX8850S-B27-QYL be used in parallel for higher power handling?
No - Zener diodes exhibit manufacturing variation in VZ and dynamic resistance, causing current imbalance when paralleled. The datasheet does not recommend parallel operation. For higher power, select a single higher-rated device such as the PZM27NB or use an active shunt regulator circuit.
Is the marking code 'T1' on the device body sufficient to confirm it is BZX8850S-B27-QYL?
Yes - per Table 4, 'T1' is the official marking code for BZX8850S-B27-QYL. The cathode is indicated by a bar on the top surface adjacent to pin 1, consistent with the simplified outline in Table 2 and Figure 9.
Does the 365 mW power rating apply at elevated ambient temperatures?
No - the 365 mW rating is valid only at Tamb ≤ 25 °C on a standard FR4 PCB with single-sided copper. Above 25 °C, derating applies per the thermal resistance Rth(j-a) = 340 K/W; at 85 °C ambient, maximum allowable power drops to approximately 250 mW to maintain Tj ≤ 150 °C.
