Product details
Overview
BZX8850S-B36-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 36 V Zener voltage at 50 µA test current, with ±2 % tolerance (B-series), 350 Ω differential resistance at 5 mA, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use.
For engineers reviewing the BZX8850S-B36-QYL datasheet, BZX8850S-B36-QYL pinout, BZX8850S-B36-QYL application, or BZX8850S-B36-QYL equivalent, key selection criteria include low-bias operation at 50 µA, side-wettable DFN1006BD-2 package for automated optical inspection, thermal resistance of 340 K/W on FR4, and intentional leakage optimization for noise-sensitive analog rails.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal shunt regulator, maintaining stable reverse breakdown voltage across its cathode-anode terminals under controlled bias conditions. Its electrical behavior is defined by tight VZ tolerance (±2 %), low test current specification (50 µA), and optimized leakage characteristics per AN90031 for fast switching and reduced noise coupling.
The SOD882BD (DFN1006BD-2) package enables high-density PCB layouts with side-wettable flanks for solder joint inspection, while thermal performance is characterized by Rth(j-a) = 340 K/W on single-sided tin-plated FR4 - critical for thermal management in compact automotive modules and portable electronics.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VZ (nominal) | 36 V at IZ = 50 µA - sets precise reference point for low-power bias networks |
| VZ tolerance | ±2 % (B-series) - ensures predictable regulation without post-calibration |
| rdiff | 350 Ω at IZ = 5 mA - defines output impedance affecting load regulation error |
| Ptot | 365 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C - limits continuous power in thermally constrained layouts |
| Rth(j-a) | 340 K/W - determines junction temperature rise under ambient PCB conditions |
| IR @ VR = 28.8 V | ≤ 0.05 µA - confirms low leakage below knee voltage for standby efficiency |
| Cd | 45 pF at VR = 0 V, f = 1 MHz - impacts high-frequency noise filtering capability |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX8850S-C36-Q | ±5 % VZ tolerance, higher max IR (0.1 µA), same package and thermal specs | Suitable for non-critical biasing where cost sensitivity outweighs precision | Select when ±5 % regulation accuracy is acceptable and leakage margin is not required |

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage before breakdown for BZX8850S-B36-QYL?
The device exhibits a nominal Zener voltage of 36 V at 50 µA test current, with guaranteed minimum and maximum values of 35.3 V and 36.7 V respectively. Breakdown begins gradually above ~28.8 V (80 % of nominal), but stable regulation occurs only within the specified 35.3 V–36.7 V range under defined current conditions.
Does BZX8850S-B36-QYL require a series resistor in all applications?
Yes - a current-limiting resistor is mandatory to set the operating current within the 50 µA to 200 mA range. Without it, excessive current causes thermal runaway. Typical designs use 10 kΩ–100 kΩ for low-bias applications and 1 kΩ–10 kΩ for higher-current regulation, calculated using (VIN − VZ) / IZ.
Can BZX8850S-B36-QYL be used in parallel for higher power handling?
No - Zener diodes exhibit manufacturing variations in VZ that cause current imbalance when paralleled, leading to thermal instability and premature failure. For higher power, use a single higher-rated device or implement active regulation with a transistor-based shunt amplifier.
Is the cathode marking visible under standard optical inspection?
Yes - the cathode is indicated by a laser-marked bar on the top surface of the DFN1006BD-2 package, positioned adjacent to pin 1. This marking is fully compatible with standard AOI systems due to the side-wettable flank design, which ensures solder fillet visibility without requiring X-ray verification.
