Product details
Overview
BZX8850S-B3V9-QYL from Nexperia is a low-current Zener voltage regulator diode in the BZX8850S-Q series, designed for precision voltage reference and low-power biasing in space-constrained circuits. It delivers a nominal 3.9 V regulation at 50 µA test current, with ±2 % tolerance (B-series), 365 mW total power dissipation, and ultra-small DFN1006BD-2 (SOD882BD) package - ideal for battery-powered wearables and automotive sensor signal conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the BZX8850S-B3V9-QYL datasheet, BZX8850S-B3V9-QYL pinout, BZX8850S-B3V9-QYL application, or BZX8850S-B3V9-QYL equivalent, this page provides verified electrical characteristics, AEC-Q101 qualification status, thermal resistance (340 K/W), reverse leakage behavior at VR = 3.0 V, and side-wettable flank soldering compatibility for automated optical inspection (AOI).
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with a specified working voltage of 3.82 V to 3.98 V at IZ = 50 µA, exhibiting a temperature coefficient of −2.7 mV/K and differential resistance ≤ 95 Ω at IZ = 5 mA. Its low 50 µA test current enables stable regulation in micro-power circuits where quiescent current must remain below 100 µA.
The device features intentional minor leakage current optimization per AN90031 for fast switching transients and reduced noise in analog front-ends. Qualified to AEC-Q101, it supports junction temperatures up to 150 °C and ambient operation from −55 °C to +150 °C - meeting requirements for under-hood automotive modules and industrial IoT edge nodes.

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-C3V9-Q | ±5 % tolerance (C-series), higher max leakage (2.5 µA at VR = 3.0 V), same package and thermal specs | Acceptable where cost sensitivity outweighs precision; less suitable for ASIL-B or medical-grade calibration | Select when budget constraints dominate and ±5 % regulation accuracy suffices for non-critical biasing |
| MMSZ4685T1G | 3.9 V, ±5 %, SOD-123 package (2.7 mm × 1.6 mm), 500 mW Ptot, Rth(j-a) = 300 K/W | Larger footprint but higher power headroom; lacks AEC-Q101 qualification and side-wettable flanks | Choose only if board space permits larger package and automotive qualification is not required |
Compared with BZX8850S-B3V9-QYL, the C3V9 variant trades precision for cost in non-safety-critical roles, while MMSZ4685T1G offers higher power margin at the expense of size, qualification, and manufacturability - making the B-series QYL grade optimal for space- and reliability-constrained automotive and portable designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage (VR) this diode can withstand before breakdown?
The BZX8850S-B3V9-QYL is rated for a nominal Zener voltage of 3.9 V at 50 µA, with guaranteed breakdown occurring between 3.82 V and 3.98 V. It is not designed to block voltages significantly above this range - applying >4.5 V continuously risks exceeding its 365 mW power limit and causing thermal failure. Absolute maximum reverse voltage is not defined; operation must stay within the specified Zener region.
Does this part support reflow soldering with standard lead-free profiles?
Yes - the DFN1006BD-2 package is qualified for lead-free reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020. Nexperia provides a dedicated footprint (Fig. 10) with 0.7 mm solder lands and 0.4 mm solder paste stencil openings. Peak temperature must not exceed 260 °C for ≤ 30 seconds, and ramp rates must comply with IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020D to prevent delamination or voiding.
How does the "B" vs "C" suffix affect selection beyond tolerance?
The "B" suffix denotes ±2 % tolerance and optimized low-leakage performance (≤2.0 µA at VR = 3.0 V), while "C" indicates ±5 % tolerance and slightly elevated leakage (≤2.5 µA). Both share identical package, thermal resistance, and AEC-Q101 qualification - but only B-series meets tighter regulation needs for precision analog biasing and safety-critical automotive subsystems.
Can this Zener be used in series or parallel configurations for higher voltage or current?
No - the BZX8850S-B3V9-QYL is not characterized for series or parallel operation. Its low 365 mW rating and tight thermal resistance make parallel use prone to current imbalance and thermal runaway. For higher voltage, select a single-part solution like BZX8850S-B10-Q (10 V); for higher current, use a higher-power Zener such as BZX85C3V9 in DO-35.
