Product details
Overview
BZG05C39TR3 from Vishay Semiconductors is a unidirectional, single-junction Zener diode in DO-214AC (SMA) package, rated for 39 V nominal zener voltage at 6 mA test current, 50 Ω dynamic impedance, and 3000 mW peak power dissipation at 60 °C ambient with low thermal resistance (RthJL = 30 K/W). It delivers precise voltage regulation in automotive power rail clamping circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZG05C39TR3 datasheet, BZG05C39TR3 pinout, BZG05C39TR3 application, or BZG05C39TR3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification option (HE3 variant), 0.07 %/K zener voltage temperature coefficient, 30 V maximum reverse working voltage, and compatibility with wave/reflow soldering on standard 5 mm SMD footpads.
Technical Context
This device operates as a precision shunt regulator, maintaining stable reference voltage under varying load and line conditions via controlled reverse-biased avalanche breakdown. Its 39 V nominal zener voltage is specified at IZT = 6 mA with ±2 V tolerance (37–41 V range) and exhibits 50 Ω dynamic resistance at that current.
The DO-214AC package enables high-power handling (3000 mW at Tamb = 60 °C with RthJA < 30 K/W) and supports automotive-grade reliability with optional AEC-Q101 qualification. Junction temperature is limited to 150 °C, and storage range spans –65 °C to +150 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 37–41 V range at 6 mA test current - defines stable regulation window for 3.3 V tolerant control ICs in 42 V automotive systems |
| Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 3000 mW at Tamb = 60 °C with RthJA < 30 K/W - enables robust transient suppression without heatsink in compact layouts |
| Dynamic Resistance (ZZ) | 50 Ω at IZT = 6 mA - ensures minimal output voltage shift under load variation in feedback loops |
| Temperature Coefficient (TCVZ) | +0.07 %/K - provides predictable, positive drift for compensation in temperature-critical bias networks |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤0.5 μA at VR = 30 V - guarantees negligible standby current in always-on vehicle modules |
| Junction-to-Lead Thermal Resistance | 30 K/W - allows direct thermal coupling to PCB copper pour for sustained surge handling |
Pinout & Package
DO-214AC (SMA) surface-mount package: 4.5 mm × 2.8 mm body, 2.3 mm lead width, 3.3 mm lead spacing, 6.7 mm overall length; molded UL 94 V-0 compound, MSL level 1, compatible with 260 °C/10 s reflow profile.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (marked end) | High-impedance reference node | Connected to regulated voltage rail; reverse-biased operation requires cathode at higher potential than anode |
| Anode | Reference ground return path | Serves as current sink to system ground or low-side switch node; must handle full zener current during clamping |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Unidirectional Zener operation | Enables dedicated overvoltage clamping on positive rails without bidirectional leakage concerns |
| AEC-Q101 qualification option (HE3) | Validated for automotive powertrain and chassis applications requiring zero-failure reliability over 15-year service life |
| Wave and reflow solderable | Eliminates manual assembly steps; supports high-volume automated PCB assembly with standard SMT processes |
| Single-junction construction | Delivers tight VZ tolerance and predictable TCVZ vs. multi-junction alternatives used in wide-voltage-range regulators |
| UL 94 V-0 molding compound | Meets flammability requirements for under-hood electronics and battery management enclosures |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5377BRLG | 39 V nominal, 5 W rating, DO-201AD package (larger footprint, RthJA ≈ 50 K/W) | Higher power margin but incompatible with space-constrained SMD layouts; not AEC-Q101 qualified | Select when board area permits larger through-hole or axial-leaded replacement and automotive qualification is not required. |
| BZX84-C39LT1G | 39 V nominal, 300 mW rating, SOT-23 package (RthJA ≈ 300 K/W, 10× lower power capability) | Limited to low-current signal-level protection; unsuitable for power rail clamping above 10 mA | Choose only for cost-sensitive, low-power bias networks where 3000 mW surge handling is unnecessary. |
Compared with 1N5377BRLG and BZX84-C39LT1G, the BZG05C39TR3 uniquely balances 3000 mW power handling, DO-214AC SMD compatibility, and AEC-Q101 availability-making it the sole option for automotive-grade, high-energy transient suppression in compact PCB designs.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance of BZG05C39TR3 at 6 mA test current?
The BZG05C39TR3 has a zener voltage range of 37 V to 41 V at IZT = 6 mA, corresponding to a ±2 V absolute tolerance. This specification is measured under standard conditions (Tamb = 25 °C) and reflects the device's guaranteed regulation window for precision clamping applications. The BZG05C39TR3 maintains this tolerance across its qualified operating temperature range.
Is BZG05C39TR3 qualified for automotive applications?
The BZG05C39TR3 itself is the commercial-grade (E3) variant and is not AEC-Q101 qualified. However, the identical device in HE3 packaging (BZG05C39HE3TR3) carries full AEC-Q101 qualification. Engineers selecting BZG05C39TR3 for automotive use must verify whether their design accepts commercial-grade reliability or requires the HE3 version - both share identical electrical specs and DO-214AC mechanical form.
What is the maximum non-repetitive surge power the BZG05C39TR3 can withstand?
The BZG05C39TR3 is rated for 60 W non-repetitive peak surge power dissipation (PZSM) under a 100 μs square pulse at Tj = 25 °C prior to surge. This capability enables reliable suppression of ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a load dump transients in 12 V automotive systems. Derating applies for longer pulses or elevated junction temperatures, per Figure 4 in the official Vishay datasheet.
Does BZG05C39TR3 support automated PCB assembly processes?
Yes, the BZG05C39TR3 is fully compatible with both wave and reflow soldering processes. Its DO-214AC package meets J-STD-020 MSL level 1 requirements and is rated for 260 °C/10 s at terminals. The device ships in 6000-unit reels (13″) and is optimized for pick-and-place placement accuracy with defined footprint dimensions per Vishay document S8-V-3848.01-003.
How does the temperature coefficient affect BZG05C39TR3 performance in wide-temperature environments?
The BZG05C39TR3 has a nominal temperature coefficient of +0.07 %/K, meaning its zener voltage increases by approximately 27.3 mV per °C rise above 25 °C. This positive drift is stable and repeatable, enabling predictable compensation in temperature-critical references. At +125 °C, the VZ shift remains within ±1.5 V of nominal - well within the 37–41 V specification band.
