Product details
Overview
BZG04-130TR3 from Vishay Semiconductors is a glass-passivated, surface-mount Zener diode designed for high-energy transient voltage suppression in power rails and signal lines. It features a 130 V standoff voltage, 153 V breakdown voltage at 5 mA, 224 V clamping voltage at 1.3 A surge current, 300 W non-repetitive peak surge power (10/1000 µs), and DO-214AC (SMA) package. It is used in industrial power supply overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZG04-130TR3 datasheet, BZG04-130TR3 pinout, BZG04-130TR3 application, or BZG04-130TR3 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage margin versus system rail, surge current handling under IEC 61000-4-5 waveforms, thermal resistance to PCB copper area, junction temperature derating, and RoHS-compliant lead-free construction.
Technical Context
The BZG04-130TR3 operates as a unidirectional voltage clamp with fast response time (≤1 ps), leveraging a glass-passivated PN junction for stable Zener characteristics and high reliability under repetitive transients. Its thermal design relies on low RthJL (25 K/W) and mounting-dependent RthJA (100–150 K/W), requiring defined copper land patterns per Fig. 1a/b for rated power dissipation.
It delivers precise voltage regulation across temperature via a temperature coefficient of +0.09 %/K and maintains low junction capacitance (145 pF at 0 V) to minimize signal distortion in protected analog or digital interfaces. The device is rated for 150 °C maximum junction temperature and -65 to +150 °C storage range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Standoff Voltage (VR) | 130 V - Maximum continuous reverse voltage before significant leakage; defines operating rail margin. |
| Breakdown Voltage (V(BR)) | 153 V @ 5 mA - Precise Zener conduction onset; ensures predictable clamping threshold. |
| Clamping Voltage (VCL) | 224 V @ 1.3 A - Peak voltage seen by protected circuit during 10/1000 µs surge; critical for IC survivability. |
| Peak Surge Power (PZSM) | 300 W - Withstands IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surges when properly mounted on ≥100 K/W thermal pad. |
| Junction Capacitance (Cj) | 145 pF @ 0 V, 1 MHz - Low enough for <100 MHz signal line protection without excessive attenuation. |
| Thermal Resistance (RthJL) | 25 K/W - Enables efficient heat transfer from die to PCB trace; requires ≥5 mm lead length for spec compliance. |
| Surge Current (IPP) | 1.3 A - Peak current capability during standardized 10/1000 µs pulse; determines minimum series impedance. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ130A | Higher clamping voltage (219 V @ 1.4 A), higher capacitance (170 pF), same DO-214AA package but larger footprint than DO-214AC. | Designed for bidirectional AC-line protection; less optimal for precision DC rail clamping due to asymmetry. | Select SMBJ130A only if bidirectional surge immunity is required and board space permits larger SMA footprint. |
| P6SMB130A | Same 130 V standoff, but 300 W rating at 25 °C only; derates faster above 25 °C (RthJA = 160 K/W vs. 100–125 K/W for BZG04-130TR3). | Lower thermal performance limits continuous power in compact layouts; not recommended for sustained 1.25 W operation. | Prefer BZG04-130TR3 where thermal management is constrained or ambient exceeds 50 °C. |
Compared with SMBJ130A and P6SMB130A, the BZG04-130TR3 offers superior thermal resistance, tighter clamping voltage tolerance, and smaller DO-214AC footprint-making it optimal for space-constrained, high-reliability DC rail protection where precise voltage control and thermal headroom are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the BZG04-130TR3 under surge conditions?
The BZG04-130TR3 has a maximum clamping voltage of 224 V when subjected to a 10/1000 µs surge current pulse of 1.3 A, as specified in the Vishay BZG04-Series datasheet (Doc. #85594, Rev. 2.2). This value is measured at Tj = 25 °C and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during standardized surge events. The BZG04-130TR3 maintains this clamping performance across its qualified operating temperature range.
Is the BZG04-130TR3 RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the BZG04-130TR3 is explicitly certified as lead (Pb)-free and compliant with RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC and WEEE Directive 2002/96/EC, as stated in the official Vishay datasheet. The device uses lead-free terminations and conforms to all material restrictions outlined in the directives. This makes the BZG04-130TR3 suitable for environmentally regulated industrial and consumer applications without requiring exemptions.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient for the BZG04-130TR3?
The BZG04-130TR3 exhibits a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RthJA) of 150 K/W when mounted on epoxy-glass hard tissue per Figure 1a, and 125 K/W per Figure 1b. When mounted on Al2O3 ceramic substrate, RthJA improves to 100 K/W. These values are critical for calculating allowable power dissipation at elevated ambient temperatures and must be applied using the exact board layout referenced in the Vishay datasheet to ensure reliability of the BZG04-130TR3.
Can the BZG04-130TR3 be used for bidirectional transient suppression?
No, the BZG04-130TR3 is a unidirectional Zener diode intended for single-polarity clamping-cathode must be biased positive relative to anode. It does not provide symmetrical clamping for AC or bipolar transients. For bidirectional protection, a pair of BZG04-130TR3 devices in series opposition or a dedicated bidirectional TVS like SMBJ130CA would be required. The BZG04-130TR3 datasheet specifies only reverse-bias Zener operation.
What is the junction capacitance of the BZG04-130TR3 and how does it affect high-frequency applications?
The BZG04-130TR3 has a typical junction capacitance of 145 pF measured at 0 V and 1 MHz. This value remains stable across its operating voltage range and is low enough to avoid significant signal attenuation or timing skew in DC-coupled power rails and low-speed analog lines (<10 MHz). However, for RF or high-speed digital signal lines, this capacitance may introduce unwanted loading; in such cases, the BZG04-130TR3 should be placed away from sensitive nodes or supplemented with lower-Cj protection devices.
