Product details
Overview
BZX8850S-C3V6-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, battery-powered systems. It delivers a nominal 3.6 V regulation at 50 µA test current, with ±2 % tolerance (C-series), 95 Ω dynamic resistance at 5 mA, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use.
For engineers reviewing the BZX8850S-C3V6-QYL datasheet, BZX8850S-C3V6-QYL pinout, BZX8850S-C3V6-QYL application, or BZX8850S-C3V6-QYL equivalent, this device is selected for ultra-low quiescent current regulation, ESD-robust signal-level clamping, and stable reference generation in portable instrumentation and automotive sensor interfaces.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with a specified working voltage of 3.42 V to 3.78 V at IZ = 50 µA, exhibiting a temperature coefficient of −3.5 mV/K and diode capacitance of 160 pF at 0 V. Its low 50 µA test current enables operation in micro-power circuits where traditional Zeners would draw excessive bias current.
The device uses a planar silicon junction structure housed in a DFN1006BD-2 (SOD882BD) package with side-wettable flanks for automated optical solder-joint inspection. It supports non-repetitive surge power up to 40 W (100 µs pulse) and maintains stable regulation across −55 °C to +150 °C ambient range.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX8850S-B3V6-Q | ±5 % tolerance (vs. ±2 %), higher rdiff = 600 Ω at 5 mA | Acceptable for non-critical biasing where cost sensitivity outweighs precision | Select when budget constraints dominate and 3.42–3.78 V range is sufficient |
| MMSZ4685T1G | Same 3.6 V nominal, but SOD-123 package (1.8 × 1.4 mm), 500 mW Ptot, no AEC-Q101 | Suitable for industrial PCBs with larger footprints and no automotive qualification requirement | Choose when board space permits larger package and automotive compliance is not mandated |
Compared with BZX8850S-C3V6-QYL, the BZX8850S-B3V6-Q trades precision for cost, while MMSZ4685T1G offers higher power handling in a less compact, non-automotive-qualified form factor-making the C3V6-QYL optimal for space- and qualification-constrained designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage before breakdown for BZX8850S-C3V6-QYL?
The device exhibits a sharp Zener breakdown between 3.42 V and 3.78 V at IZ = 50 µA, with no defined "maximum reverse voltage" prior to breakdown-it is designed to operate continuously in reverse breakdown. The absolute maximum reverse voltage is limited only by the non-repetitive peak power rating of 40 W for 100 µs pulses.
Can BZX8850S-C3V6-QYL be used in forward-bias applications?
Yes-the forward voltage is specified at 0.9 V @ 10 mA, making it suitable for low-drop rectification or polarity protection in ultra-low-power circuits. However, its primary design intent and characterization focus is reverse-bias Zener regulation, not forward conduction efficiency.
Is the DFN1006BD-2 package compatible with standard reflow profiles?
Yes-Nexperia provides validated reflow soldering footprint data (Fig. 10) and qualifies the package for JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1. The side-wettable flanks support IPC-A-610 Class 2/3 solder joint acceptance using standard SnPb or lead-free profiles.
How does the −3.5 mV/K temperature coefficient affect long-term stability?
This negative coefficient means output voltage decreases by 3.5 mV per °C rise in junction temperature. Over a 100 °C range (−40 °C to +60 °C), total drift is ~350 mV-within the ±2 % tolerance band (±72 mV) only if self-heating is minimized via low IZ operation and proper thermal layout.
