Product details
Overview
BZX8850S-B3V6-QYL from Nexperia is a low-current Zener voltage regulator diode in the BZX8850S-Q series, designed for precision biasing and voltage reference in space-constrained, low-power circuits. It delivers a nominal 3.6 V regulation 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-B3V6-QYL datasheet, BZX8850S-B3V6-QYL pinout, BZX8850S-B3V6-QYL application, or BZX8850S-B3V6-QYL equivalent, this device is selected for ultra-low-current voltage stabilization in battery-powered sensors, ECU reference rails, and portable instrumentation where side-wettable flanks support automated optical inspection (AOI) and reliable reflow soldering.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with a specified working voltage of 3.53 V to 3.67 V at IZ = 50 µA, exhibiting a temperature coefficient of −3.5 mV/K and differential resistance ≤95 Ω at IZ = 5 mA. Its low 50 µA test current enables stable regulation under micro-power conditions.
The device uses a planar silicon process with side-wettable flanks on a DFN1006BD-2 (SOD882BD) package, enabling high-density PCB layouts and compatibility with standard reflow profiles. Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is 340 K/W on FR4 with single-sided copper.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX8850S-C3V6-Q | ±5 % tolerance (C-series), higher max reverse current (2.0 µA vs. 1.5 µA at VR = 3.0 V) | Looser voltage accuracy; suitable for non-critical biasing where cost sensitivity outweighs precision | Select for cost-driven consumer electronics where ±5 % regulation is acceptable and AEC-Q101 is not required |
| MMSZ4685T1G | Same 3.6 V nominal, SOD-123 package (larger), 500 mW Ptot, no AEC-Q101 qualification | Larger footprint and higher power handling; lacks automotive qualification and side-wettable flanks | Choose only if board layout allows SOD-123 and automotive compliance is unnecessary; not drop-in compatible |
Compared with BZX8850S-C3V6-Q, the BZX8850S-B3V6-QYL offers tighter voltage control and automotive qualification; versus MMSZ4685T1G, it provides superior AOI support and thermal density but requires stricter layout constraints due to its 1.0 mm × 0.6 mm footprint.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse current at 3.0 V for BZX8850S-B3V6-QYL?
The maximum reverse current (IR) at VR = 3.0 V is 1.5 µA, measured at Tj = 25 °C. This low leakage supports stable operation in battery-powered systems where standby current must remain below 2 µA, and aligns with the device's design for micro-power bias networks.
Can BZX8850S-B3V6-QYL be used in place of a standard 3.3 V Zener diode?
No-it is rated for 3.6 V nominal regulation (3.53–3.67 V range), not 3.3 V. Substituting it for a 3.3 V Zener would result in ~9 % higher reference voltage, potentially causing overvoltage in downstream circuitry. Use BZX8850S-B3V3-Q for 3.3 V applications.
Does the side-wettable flank feature require special stencil or reflow profile?
No special stencil is required-the DFN1006BD-2 footprint matches standard IPC-7351B guidelines. Reflow follows JEDEC J-STD-020; side-wettable flanks enable solder meniscus visibility during AOI but do not alter thermal or process parameters versus conventional DFN packages.
Is the 365 mW power rating valid at elevated ambient temperatures?
No-the 365 mW rating applies only at Tamb ≤ 25 °C on an FR4 PCB with single-sided copper. Derating is required above 25 °C: Rth(j-a) = 340 K/W implies ~1.06 mW/°C reduction, so at 85 °C ambient, max allowable power drops to ~303 mW to maintain Tj ≤ 150 °C.
