Product details
Overview
BZX8850S-C43-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 automotive and portable electronics. It delivers a nominal 43 V regulation at 50 µA test current, with ±5 % tolerance, 365 mW total power dissipation, and AEC-Q101 qualification for under-hood use.
For engineers reviewing the BZX8850S-C43-QYL datasheet, BZX8850S-C43-QYL pinout, BZX8850S-C43-QYL application, or BZX8850S-C43-QYL equivalent, this device is selected for low-leakage, low-power voltage stabilization where side-wettable flank solderability and thermal resistance (340 K/W) are critical to PCB-level reliability in high-temperature ambient environments.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with a specified working voltage of 40.85 V to 45.15 V at IZ = 50 µA, exhibiting a temperature coefficient of +0.05 mV/K and differential resistance of 375 Ω at IZ = 0.5 mA. Its low 50 µA test current enables stable regulation in ultra-low-power sensor bias networks.
The device uses a DFN1006BD-2 (SOD882BD) leadless package with side-wettable flanks for automated optical inspection (AOI) compatibility and enhanced solder joint integrity. Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is 340 K/W on FR4 PCB with single-sided copper, supporting operation up to 150 °C junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Nominal Zener Voltage | 43 V (range 40.85 V to 45.15 V at IZ = 50 µA - defines stable reference point for low-current bias circuits) |
| Tolerance | ±5 % (C-series grade - enables cost-optimized selection where tighter regulation is not required) |
| Test Current | 50 µA (enables reliable operation in battery-powered systems drawing sub-100 µA quiescent current) |
| Total Power Dissipation | 365 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C (sets maximum continuous DC power handling on standard FR4 PCB) |
| Forward Voltage | ≤ 0.9 V at IF = 10 mA (ensures minimal forward conduction loss when used in dual-direction protection or clamping configurations) |
| Junction Temperature Limit | 150 °C (supports automotive under-hood deployment without derating below −40 °C to +125 °C ambient) |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes (certified for automotive discrete semiconductor stress testing - validates robustness for safety-critical subsystems) |
Pinout & Package
Package: DFN1006BD-2 (SOD882BD), ultra-small leadless surface-mount plastic package measuring 1.0 mm × 0.6 mm × 0.47 mm with side-wettable flanks for AOI-compatible reflow soldering.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (K) | Connected to regulated output node; marking bar on top surface identifies this terminal - reverse-biased during Zener operation |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; completes reverse-bias path enabling controlled breakdown at VZ |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Side-wettable flanks | Enables automated optical inspection of solder joints on DFN package - critical for zero-defect automotive manufacturing |
| Low test current (50 µA) | Supports stable voltage reference in micro-power sensor interfaces and battery monitoring ICs with nanoamp bias currents |
| Optimized leakage profile | Intentional minor rise in leakage current improves switching speed and reduces noise in feedback loops of LDOs and ADC references |

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-B43-Q | ±2 % tolerance (vs. ±5 %), higher test current (5 mA), lower rdiff (150 Ω) | Better regulation accuracy but higher bias current demand - unsuitable for nanoamp-sensor nodes | Select when system requires tighter voltage stability and can supply ≥5 mA Zener current |
| MMSZ43ET1G | SOD-123 package (2.7 mm × 1.6 mm), 500 mW Ptot, ±5 %, 5 mA test current | Larger footprint and higher thermal resistance (250 K/W) - less suitable for dense automotive PCBs | Choose only if legacy SOD-123 layout reuse is mandatory and space constraints allow |
Compared with BZX8850S-C43-QYL, the BZX8850S-B43-Q offers superior regulation accuracy at higher current, while MMSZ43ET1G trades miniaturization for higher power handling and legacy compatibility - neither provides side-wettable flanks or AEC-Q101 validation in the same form factor.

FAQ
What is the exact Zener voltage range for BZX8850S-C43-QYL at 50 µA?
The confirmed Zener voltage range is 40.85 V to 45.15 V at IZ = 50 µA and Tj = 25 °C, per Table 9 of the official Nexperia datasheet Rev. 3. This 4.3 V span reflects the ±5 % tolerance band specific to the 'C' grade variant and is measured under standardized low-current conditions to ensure repeatability in ultra-low-power designs.
Does BZX8850S-C43-QYL support reflow soldering with standard lead-free profiles?
Yes - the DFN1006BD-2 package is qualified for IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020-compliant lead-free reflow, with peak temperatures up to 260 °C. The side-wettable flanks enable reliable solder joint formation and automated optical inspection, and the recommended footprint (Fig. 10) specifies 0.6 mm pad width and 0.7 mm length for optimal wetting and coplanarity control.
How does the 'QYL' suffix differ from standard 'Q' in ordering?
The 'QYL' suffix denotes a specific tape-and-reel packaging configuration per Nexperia's internal logistics coding: 10,000 units per 12 mm wide reel with 1 mm pitch, EIA-481-D compliant embossed carrier tape, and dry-packed moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL-1) handling. It does not affect electrical or mechanical specifications versus the base 'Q' grade.
Can BZX8850S-C43-QYL be used in place of a 43 V TVS diode for ESD protection?
No - it is not rated for ESD or surge suppression. While it clamps above 43 V in reverse bias, its 40 W non-repetitive peak power rating applies only to 100 µs square-wave pulses (IEC 61000-4-5), not the 15 kV HBM or 8 kV IEC 61000-4-2 waveforms required for ESD protection. Dedicated TVS devices like PESD5V0S1BA have optimized capacitance and clamping response for that function.
