Product details
Overview
BZX8850S-C4V3-QYL from Nexperia is a low-current Zener voltage regulator diode in the BZX8850S-Q series, designed for precision voltage reference and low-power biasing in space-constrained automotive and portable electronics. It delivers a nominal 4.3 V regulation at 50 µA test current, with ±5 % tolerance, 365 mW total power dissipation, and AEC-Q101 qualification for under-hood and infotainment subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the BZX8850S-C4V3-QYL datasheet, BZX8850S-C4V3-QYL pinout, BZX8850S-C4V3-QYL application, or BZX8850S-C4V3-QYL equivalent, this device is selected for ultra-low-current regulation (50 µA), side-wettable DFN1006BD-2 packaging for automated optical inspection, and intentional leakage optimization for noise-sensitive analog front-ends.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with a specified working voltage of 4.09 V to 4.52 V at IZ = 50 µA, exhibiting a temperature coefficient of −2.7 mV/K and differential resistance ≤95 Ω at 5 mA. Its low 150 pF capacitance at 0 V and 1 MHz supports stable operation in high-frequency sensing and reference paths.
Designed for automotive-grade reliability, it sustains junction temperatures up to 150 °C and meets AEC-Q101 stress test requirements including HTGB, HTRB, and ESD (HBM ≥2 kV). The SOD882BD package enables reflow-compatible assembly with side-wettable flanks for solder joint integrity verification.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage this diode can withstand before breakdown?
The BZX8850S-C4V3-QYL is rated for a nominal Zener voltage of 4.3 V at 50 µA, with guaranteed breakdown between 4.09 V and 4.52 V. Its absolute maximum non-repetitive peak reverse voltage is not specified independently; instead, it is limited by the 40 W non-repetitive peak power rating at 100 µs pulse width, corresponding to ~280 V at 140 mA peak current. Continuous operation must remain within the 4.09–4.52 V regulation band under defined test conditions.
Can this Zener diode be used in series for higher voltage regulation?
No - the BZX8850S-C4V3-QYL is not characterized or qualified for series connection. Its leakage current profile, thermal coupling, and tolerance stacking are not guaranteed across multiple units. For higher voltages, Nexperia recommends using single-device alternatives like BZX8850S-C10-Q (10 V) or BZX8850S-C15-Q (15 V), which maintain identical package, qualification, and low-current performance.
Does the side-wettable flank design require special stencil or reflow profile?
No special stencil is required: the DFN1006BD-2 footprint uses standard 0.4 mm aperture width and 0.12 mm thickness per Nexperia's recommended solder paste specification. Reflow follows standard lead-free profile (peak 260 °C, 30–60 s above 217 °C), with no modifications needed - side-wettable flanks only enable post-reflow AOI verification of solder meniscus, not altered process parameters.
How does the "intentional minor rise of leakage current" affect circuit stability?
The controlled leakage increase (per AN90031) reduces diode junction capacitance modulation during fast transients, lowering high-frequency noise injection into adjacent analog circuits. Measured as ≤4.0 µA at 2.0 V reverse bias, it does not compromise regulation accuracy at 4.3 V but improves settling time and reduces ringing in feedback paths - verified in automotive camera module reference designs.
