Product details
Overview
BZX8850S-B51-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 51 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-B51-QYL datasheet, BZX8850S-B51-QYL pinout, BZX8850S-B51-QYL application, or BZX8850S-B51-QYL equivalent, this device is selected for ultra-low-bias voltage stabilization in battery-powered sensors, ECU input protection, and automotive infotainment power-rail monitoring where side-wettable flanks enable reliable solder-joint inspection.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with a specified Zener voltage of 50.0 V to 52.0 V at IZ = 50 µA, exhibiting a temperature coefficient of +0.05 mV/K and differential resistance of 400 Ω at IZ = 2 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, supporting automated optical inspection (AOI) and reflow compatibility per IPC-J-STD-020. Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is 340 K/W on FR4 PCB with single-sided copper.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 50.0 V to 52.0 V at IZ = 50 µA - defines precise regulation point for high-voltage reference rails |
| Tolerance | ±2 % (B-series) - ensures tight voltage accuracy without external trimming in production |
| Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 365 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C - supports continuous operation in thermally limited PCB layouts |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | ≤ 0.9 V at IF = 10 mA - minimizes conduction loss when used bidirectionally or in clamp configurations |
| Differential Resistance (rdiff) | 400 Ω at IZ = 2 mA - determines load regulation sensitivity and output impedance in feedback paths |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤ 0.05 µA at VR = 38.3 V - enables ultra-low standby leakage in always-on automotive modules |
| Package | DFN1006BD-2 (SOD882BD), 1.0 mm × 0.6 mm × 0.47 mm - enables <1 mm² board area usage in dense ADAS sensor nodes |
Pinout & Package

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-C51-Q | ±5 % tolerance (C-series) vs. ±2 % (B-series); identical VZ range, package, and AEC-Q101 rating | Suitable for non-critical biasing where cost reduction outweighs tighter voltage accuracy | Select when 51 V nominal regulation suffices and ±5 % drift is acceptable in final calibration |
| MMSZ5267BT1G | 51 V nominal, ±5 %, SOD-123 package (2.7 mm × 1.6 mm), 500 mW Ptot, not AEC-Q101 qualified | Higher power handling but larger footprint and no automotive qualification | Choose only for non-automotive industrial use requiring higher surge margin and manual inspection compatibility |
Compared with BZX8850S-B51-QYL, the C51-Q variant trades voltage accuracy for cost in automotive-qualified designs, while MMSZ5267BT1G offers higher power in a legacy package but lacks AEC-Q101 validation and occupies >7× more board area.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage before breakdown for BZX8850S-B51-QYL?
The device exhibits a nominal Zener voltage of 51 V, with guaranteed breakdown occurring between 50.0 V and 52.0 V at IZ = 50 µA. Below 38.3 V, reverse current remains ≤0.05 µA - confirming sharp knee behavior and minimal pre-breakdown leakage critical for precision sensing.
Can BZX8850S-B51-QYL be used in parallel for higher power handling?
No - Zener diodes exhibit negative temperature coefficients and parameter spread; paralleling causes current hogging and thermal runaway. For higher power, use a single higher-rated device like BZX8850S-B51-QYL's 365 mW rating or select a discrete 1 W Zener in SOD-123 with matched rdiff.
Is the cathode marking visible after reflow soldering?
Yes - the cathode is indicated by a laser-marked bar on the top surface of the DFN1006BD-2 package. Side-wettable flanks and the 0.3 mm height allow optical inspection of both the top mark and solder fillet geometry post-reflow, meeting IPC-A-610 Class 2 requirements.
Does BZX8850S-B51-QYL support bidirectional ESD protection?
No - it is a unidirectional Zener diode optimized for reverse-bias regulation. While forward conduction occurs below 0.9 V, its 200 mA absolute maximum forward current and lack of specified ESD ratings (e.g., IEC 61000-4-2) make it unsuitable as a dedicated ESD clamp; use purpose-built TVS diodes like PESD5V0S1BA for that function.
