Product details
Overview
BZX8850S-C33-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 33 V Zener voltage at 50 µA test current, with ±2 % tolerance (C-series), 365 mW total power dissipation, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use.
For engineers reviewing the BZX8850S-C33-QYL datasheet, BZX8850S-C33-QYL pinout, BZX8850S-C33-QYL application, or BZX8850S-C33-QYL equivalent, this device is selected for ultra-low-bias voltage reference, ECU sensor biasing, and portable battery-powered voltage clamping where side-wettable flanks support automated optical inspection (AOI) and reliable reflow soldering on FR4 PCBs.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with a specified working voltage of 31.35 V to 34.65 V at IZ = 50 µA, exhibiting a temperature coefficient of +7.5 mV/K and differential resistance of ≤325 Ω at IZ = 5 mA. Its low 50 µA test current enables stable regulation in micro-power systems where quiescent current must remain minimal.
The device uses a DFN1006BD-2 (SOD882BD) leadless package with side-wettable flanks, optimized for thermal performance on single-sided FR4 PCBs (Rth(j-a) = 340 K/W) and qualified per AEC-Q101 for under-hood automotive environments up to +150 °C ambient.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 31.35 V to 34.65 V at IZ = 50 µA - defines precise regulation window for 33 V nominal reference |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX8850S-B33-Q | ±5 % tolerance (B-series), higher leakage at same VR, identical package and thermal specs | Suitable for non-critical biasing where cost sensitivity outweighs voltage accuracy | Select when ±5 % regulation window (31.35–34.65 V) is acceptable and leakage margin is relaxed |
| MMSZ5261B-TP | 33 V nominal, ±5 %, SOD-123 package (2.7 mm × 1.4 mm), 500 mW Ptot, no AEC-Q101 | Used in commercial-grade power supplies where larger footprint and non-automotive qualification are acceptable | Choose only for non-automotive designs requiring higher power margin and legacy footprint compatibility |
Compared with BZX8850S-C33-QYL, the BZX8850S-B33-Q trades voltage accuracy for cost in identical automotive-qualified packaging, while MMSZ5261B-TP offers higher power but lacks AEC-Q101 and occupies 4× more PCB area-making the C33-QYL optimal for space- and reliability-critical automotive sensor nodes.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage the BZX8850S-C33-QYL can withstand before breakdown?
The BZX8850S-C33-QYL has a nominal Zener voltage of 33 V, with guaranteed breakdown occurring between 31.35 V and 34.65 V at IZ = 50 µA. Its absolute maximum reverse voltage is not defined separately-the device is intended for controlled Zener operation within its specified VZ range, not avalanche blocking. Exceeding 34.65 V continuously risks thermal runaway due to its 365 mW power limit.
Does the "QYL" suffix indicate a specific tape-and-reel configuration or testing grade?
The "QYL" suffix denotes Nexperia's standard automotive-grade ordering variant for the BZX8850S-C33-Q series, including AEC-Q101 qualification, extended temperature screening (−55 °C to +150 °C), and packaging in 10,000-unit reels compatible with high-speed pick-and-place equipment. It does not indicate a special test bin or enhanced reliability grade beyond standard Q-series requirements.
Can BZX8850S-C33-QYL replace older BZX84-C33 in existing designs?
No-BZX8850S-C33-QYL uses a DFN1006BD-2 (1.0 mm × 0.6 mm) package with side-wettable flanks, while BZX84-C33 uses SOT-23 (3.0 mm × 1.4 mm). Footprint, solder profile, and thermal behavior differ significantly. Direct replacement requires PCB redesign, though electrical parameters (33 V, ±2 %, 365 mW) are functionally aligned for new designs prioritizing miniaturization and automotive compliance.
Is the 365 mW power rating valid at elevated ambient temperatures?
No-the 365 mW total power dissipation is rated only at Tamb ≤ 25 °C on a standard FR4 PCB with single-sided copper. Derating is required above 25 °C: Rth(j-a) = 340 K/W implies ~1.07 mW/°C reduction. At 85 °C ambient, maximum allowable power drops to approximately 160 mW to maintain Tj ≤ 150 °C, per the datasheet's thermal characteristics table.
