Product details
Overview
BZG04-82TR3 from Vishay Semiconductors is a glass-passivated, surface-mount Zener diode rated for 82 V standoff voltage, 3 W steady-state power dissipation at 100 °C ambient (with RthJA < 25 K/W), and 300 W non-repetitive surge power handling (10/1000 µs pulse). It delivers clamping voltage of 139 V at 2.2 A peak pulse current and exhibits fast response time ≤ 1 ps, used in transient overvoltage protection circuits for industrial power supplies and DC bus lines.
For engineers reviewing the BZG04-82TR3 datasheet, BZG04-82TR3 pinout, BZG04-82TR3 application, or BZG04-82TR3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its DO-214AC package, 82 V nominal Zener voltage with ±5 % tolerance, 2.2 pF junction capacitance at 0 V, 150 °C maximum junction temperature, and compliance with RoHS 2002/95/EC and WEEE 2002/96/EC directives.
Technical Context
The BZG04-82TR3 operates as a unidirectional voltage-clamping device in reverse-biased mode, leveraging a glass-passivated PN junction to sustain high-energy transients without degradation. Its thermal resistance from junction-to-lead is 25 K/W, enabling efficient heat transfer to PCB copper when mounted per Figure 1b on Al₂O₃ ceramic substrate (RthJA = 100 K/W).
Clamping performance is defined by VCL(R) = 139 V at IPP = 2.2 A (10/1000 µs waveform), with breakdown voltage V(BR) = 94 V min at IR = 5 µA. Temperature coefficient TKVZ = +0.09 %/K ensures predictable voltage drift across operating range.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode transient protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ82A | Higher clamping voltage (137 V min vs. 139 V typ), same DO-214AA package, 600 W surge rating | Designed for bidirectional TVS use; lacks Zener-specific tight voltage tolerance and low-capacitance optimization | Select SMBJ82A only when higher surge margin is prioritized over low-jitter clamping precision |
| 1N5372B | Through-hole DO-41 package, 82 V Zener, 5 W power, higher junction capacitance (≈5 pF) | Not surface-mount compatible; unsuitable for automated assembly or high-density layouts | Choose 1N5372B only for legacy through-hole designs where rework flexibility outweighs board space and thermal constraints |
Compared with SMBJ82A and 1N5372B, the BZG04-82TR3 offers superior surface-mount thermal management (RthJA = 100 K/W on Al₂O₃), lower capacitance (2.2 pF), and tighter Zener voltage control-making it optimal for high-reliability, space-constrained, and high-frequency-sensitive protection circuits.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the BZG04-82TR3 during a 10/1000 µs surge?
The BZG04-82TR3 has a maximum clamping voltage of 139 V at 2.2 A peak pulse current under 10/1000 µs waveform conditions. This value is measured per the manufacturer's test methodology and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during standardized surge events. The BZG04-82TR3 maintains this clamping performance consistently due to its glass-passivated junction and thermally optimized DO-214AC package.
Does the BZG04-82TR3 meet RoHS and lead-free requirements?
Yes, the BZG04-82TR3 is lead (Pb)-free and complies with RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC and WEEE Directive 2002/96/EC. Vishay confirms that no ozone-depleting substances are used in its manufacture. The BZG04-82TR3 is fully compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes and meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level (MSL) requirements for surface-mount assembly.
What is the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of the BZG04-82TR3 when mounted on an Al₂O₃ ceramic substrate?
When mounted per Figure 1b on aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃) ceramic substrate, the BZG04-82TR3 exhibits a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RthJA) of 100 K/W. This value is confirmed in the Vishay datasheet and enables reliable 3 W continuous power dissipation at 100 °C ambient if thermal interface and copper area meet specified layout guidelines. The BZG04-82TR3 leverages this low RthJA for sustained operation in thermally constrained environments.
Can the BZG04-82TR3 be used in bidirectional transient protection applications?
No, the BZG04-82TR3 is a unidirectional Zener diode intended for reverse-bias clamping only. It does not provide symmetrical clamping in both polarities. For bidirectional protection, a pair of BZG04-82TR3 devices in series opposition or a dedicated bidirectional TVS like SMBJ82CA would be required. The BZG04-82TR3's design and characterization are strictly for single-polarity overvoltage suppression.
What is the typical junction capacitance of the BZG04-82TR3 at zero bias?
The typical junction capacitance of the BZG04-82TR3 is 2.2 pF measured at 0 V reverse bias and 1 MHz frequency. This low capacitance minimizes signal distortion and loading in high-speed data lines or RF-adjacent protection paths. The BZG04-82TR3 achieves this value through optimized die geometry and passivation, making it suitable for applications where parasitic capacitance must remain below 3 pF.
