Product details
Overview
BZX8850S-B5V1-QYL from Nexperia is a low-current Zener voltage regulator diode in an ultra-small DFN1006BD-2 (SOD882BD) package, designed for precision biasing and voltage reference in space-constrained, low-power systems. It delivers a nominal 5.1 V regulation at 50 µA test current, with ±2 % tolerance, 365 mW total power dissipation, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use.
For engineers reviewing the BZX8850S-B5V1-QYL datasheet, BZX8850S-B5V1-QYL pinout, BZX8850S-B5V1-QYL application, or BZX8850S-B5V1-QYL equivalent, this device is selected for stable low-current regulation in battery-powered sensors, ECU reference rails, and portable instrumentation where leakage, thermal resistance, and side-wettable flanks for solder inspection are critical design factors.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with a specified working voltage of 5.00 V to 5.20 V at IZ = 50 µA, exhibiting a temperature coefficient of −2.0 mV/K and differential resistance of ≤500 Ω at 5 mA. Its low 50 µA test current enables accurate regulation under micro-power conditions without loading weak sources.
The device features intentional minor leakage optimization per AN90031 for fast switching and noise reduction, and achieves Rth(j-a) = 340 K/W on standard FR4 PCB - enabling reliable operation up to 150 °C junction temperature despite its 0.6 mm × 1.0 mm footprint.
Key Specifications

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX8850S-C5V1-Q | ±5 % tolerance (vs. ±2 %); identical package, thermal, and electrical specs otherwise | Suitable for non-critical biasing where cost sensitivity outweighs precision needs | Select when ±50 mV regulation window is acceptable and BOM cost reduction is prioritized |
| MMSZ5231B-7-F | Same 5.1 V nominal, SOD-123 package (2.7 mm × 1.6 mm), higher Ptot = 500 mW, no AEC-Q101 qualification | Preferred for industrial mains-powered equipment requiring higher surge margin but no automotive compliance | Choose only if board space permits larger footprint and AEC-Q101 is not required |
Compared with BZX8850S-C5V1-Q, the BZX8850S-B5V1-QYL offers tighter regulation for precision analog stages; compared with MMSZ5231B-7-F, it trades package size and surge rating for automotive qualification and space-constrained layout compatibility.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse current at 5.1 V nominal regulation?
At VR = 5.1 V and Tj = 25 °C, the typical reverse current is ≤3.0 µA. The datasheet specifies a maximum of 3.0 µA for the B-series variant at IZ = 5 mA, confirming low leakage essential for battery-backed systems and high-impedance sensing nodes.
Can BZX8850S-B5V1-QYL be used in place of a 5.1 V TL431 shunt regulator?
No - the BZX8850S-B5V1-QYL is a two-terminal passive Zener diode requiring external current limiting, whereas the TL431 is a three-terminal active shunt regulator with adjustable output and built-in error amplifier. They serve different circuit roles and are not functionally interchangeable without redesign.
Does the side-wettable flank design require special stencil or reflow profile?
No - the DFN1006BD-2 package uses standard reflow profiles per J-STD-020 and requires only the recommended solder paste stencil aperture (0.4 mm × 0.7 mm per pad) shown in Figure 10. Side-wettable flanks enable post-reflow AOI without altering process parameters.
Is the −2.0 mV/K temperature coefficient linear across the full operating range?
Yes - the temperature coefficient is characterized as linear from −55 °C to +150 °C, with deviation <±0.1 mV/K over that range. This linearity ensures predictable voltage drift in automotive thermal cycling, supporting deterministic calibration compensation in firmware.
