Product details
Overview
BZG04-39TR from Vishay Semiconductors is a glass-passivated, surface-mount Zener diode optimized for transient voltage suppression in high-energy surge environments. It features a nominal Zener breakdown voltage of 44 V at 10 mA, clamping voltage of 65.5 V at 4.6 A (10/1000 µs pulse), 300 W non-repetitive peak surge power rating, and DO-214AC (SMC) package. It is used in DC power rail protection for industrial motor drives.
For engineers reviewing the BZG04-39TR datasheet, BZG04-39TR pinout, BZG04-39TR application, or BZG04-39TR equivalent, key selection criteria include verified clamping performance under 10/1000 µs transients, thermal resistance to ambient (125 K/W on epoxy-glass hard tissue), junction temperature limit (150 °C), and RoHS-compliant lead-free construction.
Technical Context
The BZG04-39TR operates as a unidirectional voltage-clamping device with fast response time (≤1 ps rise from 0 to VZmin) and low junction capacitance (370 pF at 0 V). Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable Zener characteristics and high reliability under repeated surge stress.
Designed for mounting on epoxy-glass PCB substrates per Figure 1b, it delivers RthJA = 125 K/W and supports peak forward surge current up to 50 A (10 ms half-sine). The device maintains specified clamping behavior across its operating junction temperature range (–65 °C to +150 °C).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 44 V min / 44 V typ @ IZT = 10 mA - defines precise DC clamping threshold |
| Clamping Voltage (VCL) | 65.5 V max @ IPP = 4.6 A, 10/1000 µs - limits peak transient voltage seen by protected circuitry |
| Peak Surge Power (PZSM) | 300 W @ tp = 10/1000 µs - enables robust handling of IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surges |
| Junction Capacitance (Cj) | 370 pF @ VR = 0 V, f = 1 MHz - low enough to avoid signal integrity degradation in <10 MHz analog/power lines |
| Thermal Resistance (RthJA) | 125 K/W mounted on epoxy-glass hard tissue (Fig. 1b) - determines safe power derating at elevated board temperatures |
| Surge Current (IFSM) | 50 A @ 10 ms half-sine - supports protection against lightning-induced AC line surges |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-214AC (SMC), surface-mount, molded plastic case with glass-passivated chip. Approximate weight: 77 mg. Standard tape-and-reel packaging: TR = 1.5 k per 7" reel.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener-based transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ36A | 36 V standoff, 58.1 V clamping @ 6.4 A, DO-214AA (SMB) package, 600 W PZSM | Higher clamping voltage margin but lower surge rating per unit area; requires larger PCB footprint | Preferred where higher surge energy absorption is needed and board space allows SMB footprint |
| P6SMB39A | 39 V standoff, 60.7 V clamping @ 4.9 A, DO-214AA (SMB) package, 600 W PZSM | Same nominal voltage but 5.2 V higher clamping than BZG04-39TR; 13% lower clamping efficiency | Acceptable where tighter clamping is not critical and SMB package compatibility simplifies sourcing |
Compared with SMBJ36A and P6SMB39A, the BZG04-39TR offers superior clamping ratio (65.5 V / 44 V = 1.49) and smaller DO-214AC footprint, enabling higher power density in space-constrained industrial controls-without sacrificing surge endurance or thermal derating capability.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the BZG04-39TR under standard surge conditions?
The BZG04-39TR has a maximum clamping voltage of 65.5 V when subjected to a 10/1000 µs surge pulse at 4.6 A peak current. This value is measured per the test condition defined in Vishay's Document Number 85594 Rev. 2.2 and represents the upper bound of voltage seen by protected circuitry during transient events. The BZG04-39TR maintains this clamping performance across its rated junction temperature range.
Is the BZG04-39TR compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes, the BZG04-39TR is fully compatible with standard lead-free reflow profiles, including JEDEC J-STD-020D-compliant peak temperatures up to 260 °C. Its glass-passivated junction and DO-214AC package are qualified for multiple reflow cycles without parameter shift or bond integrity loss. The BZG04-39TR meets RoHS 2002/95/EC requirements and contains no intentionally added lead.
How does the thermal resistance of the BZG04-39TR vary with PCB layout?
The BZG04-39TR's junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RthJA) is 125 K/W when mounted on epoxy-glass hard tissue per Figure 1b of the datasheet. With Al2O3 ceramic substrate, RthJA improves to 100 K/W. Layout changes-such as copper pour area, trace width, and via count beneath the cathode/anode pads-directly impact actual RthJA. The BZG04-39TR must be evaluated in final board configuration to ensure thermal limits remain within 150 °C junction temperature.
Can the BZG04-39TR be used for bidirectional transient suppression?
No, the BZG04-39TR is a unidirectional Zener diode and provides clamping only in reverse bias. For bidirectional protection (e.g., AC line or data line applications), two BZG04-39TR devices must be connected in series opposition, or a dedicated bidirectional TVS like SMAJ33A should be selected. Using a single BZG04-39TR in AC configurations risks forward conduction and failure during positive half-cycles.
What is the leakage current specification for the BZG04-39TR at its rated standoff voltage?
At VR = 39 V (standoff voltage), the BZG04-39TR exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 5 µA, tested at TA = 25 °C. This low leakage ensures minimal power loss in standby operation and avoids false triggering in high-impedance sensing circuits. The BZG04-39TR maintains this specification across its storage temperature range of –65 °C to +150 °C.
