Product details
Overview
BZY55B5V1 from Taiwan Semiconductor is a surface-mount Zener diode engineered for precision voltage regulation and reference applications, with a nominal Zener voltage of 5.10 V (±2%), 500 mW power dissipation, 50 Ω dynamic impedance at 5 mA test current, and operation across –55°C to +150°C junction temperature range. It serves as a stable voltage reference in low-power DC/DC converters and LED driver bias networks.
For engineers reviewing the BZY55B5V1 datasheet, BZY55B5V1 pinout, BZY55B5V1 application, or BZY55B5V1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its ±2% VZ tolerance, 50 Ω Zener impedance at IZT = 5 mA, 0805 ceramic package footprint, moisture sensitivity level 1 rating, and compliance with JESD201 Class 1A whisker testing.
Technical Context
The BZY55B5V1 operates as a single-die, unidirectional Zener diode optimized for low-noise voltage reference and stabilization in space-constrained SMT designs. Its electrical behavior is defined by tight 5.00–5.20 V Zener voltage window at 5 mA, 50 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT) under standard test conditions, and <0.1 µA reverse leakage at 1.0 V.
Thermally, it features a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 300°C/W and supports continuous operation up to +150°C junction temperature. The device uses a cathode-band polarity indicator and conforms to RoHS and UL 94HB flammability requirements.
Key Specifications

| Power dissipation PD | 500 mW (supports continuous operation at ambient temperatures ≤70°C without derating) |
| Reverse leakage IR @ VR = 1.0 V | <0.1 µA (ultra-low leakage preserves accuracy in high-impedance reference nodes) |
| Junction temperature range | –55°C to +150°C (enables use in automotive under-hood and industrial control environments) |
| Package | 0805 ceramic (2.00 × 1.25 mm footprint; compatible with standard SMT reflow profiles) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5221BS-7-F | Same 5.1 V nominal VZ, but ±5% tolerance and 150 Ω ZZT; SOD-323 package (1.7 × 1.25 mm) | Higher impedance and looser tolerance reduce reference accuracy in precision feedback paths | Acceptable for non-critical biasing where cost and board space are prioritized over regulation stability |
| 1N4733A | 5.1 V nominal VZ, ±5% tolerance, 500 mW rating, DO-41 through-hole package | Larger footprint and leaded construction incompatible with fully SMT production lines | Suitable for prototyping or legacy through-hole designs, but requires PCB redesign for SMT migration |
Compared with MMBZ5221BS-7-F and 1N4733A, the BZY55B5V1 delivers tighter ±2% voltage tolerance and lower 50 Ω Zener impedance in a moisture-insensitive 0805 ceramic package-making it optimal for high-accuracy, high-volume SMT applications where thermal reliability and long-term stability are critical.

FAQ
What is the exact Zener voltage range for BZY55B5V1 at 5 mA test current?
The BZY55B5V1 has a guaranteed Zener voltage range of 5.00 V (minimum) to 5.20 V (maximum) when tested at IZT = 5 mA under pulse conditions. This ±2% tolerance is specified per the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet revision D2301 and applies across the full operating temperature range of –55°C to +150°C junction temperature. The nominal value is 5.10 V.
Does BZY55B5V1 require baking before reflow soldering?
No, BZY55B5V1 does not require baking prior to reflow soldering because it is rated at moisture sensitivity level 1 per J-STD-020. This means the device can be stored indefinitely in dry cabinet conditions and placed directly into standard SMT reflow profiles without preconditioning, simplifying manufacturing workflow and reducing risk of popcorning.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for BZY55B5V1 at 1.0 V?
The maximum reverse leakage current for BZY55B5V1 at VR = 1.0 V is 0.1 µA, as specified in the Electrical Specifications table of the Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet. This ultra-low leakage supports high-impedance reference node integrity in battery-powered and low-power sensor applications where standby current must be minimized.
Is BZY55B5V1 RoHS compliant and halogen-free?
Yes, BZY55B5V1 is RoHS compliant per EU Directive 2011/65/EU, and its molding compound meets UL 94HB flammability rating. While the datasheet confirms RoHS compliance, it does not explicitly state halogen-free status; therefore, halogen content should be verified separately via material declaration if required for specific environmental compliance programs.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient for BZY55B5V1?
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) for BZY55B5V1 is 300°C/W, measured under standard JEDEC test conditions on FR-4 PCB with minimum copper pad area. This value assumes no additional thermal relief or heatsinking; actual thermal performance improves significantly with enhanced copper pour or thermal vias in production layouts.
