Product details
Overview
BZV49-C33,115 from Nexperia is a medium-power Zener voltage regulator diode in SOT89 package, designed for precision DC voltage reference and stabilization in power supply rails. It delivers a nominal working voltage of 33 V (min 31.0 V, max 35.0 V) at 2 mA test current, with differential resistance ≤35 Ω, temperature coefficient of +27.4 to +29.7 mV/K, and total power dissipation up to 1 W at 25 °C ambient.
For engineers reviewing the BZV49-C33,115 datasheet, BZV49-C33,115 pinout, BZV49-C33,115 application, or BZV49-C33,115 equivalent, this device serves as a stable shunt regulator in low-to-medium current bias networks, voltage clamping circuits, and overvoltage protection stages where ±5% tolerance and thermal stability across −65 °C to +150 °C are required.
Technical Context
The BZV49-C33,115 operates as a silicon planar Zener diode with controlled avalanche breakdown at 33 V, optimized for stable reverse-bias regulation under continuous DC or pulsed conditions. Its thermal resistance from junction to tie-point is 15 K/W, enabling effective heat transfer via the exposed collector pad in the SOT89 package.
It exhibits low dynamic impedance (≤35 Ω at IZtest = 2 mA), minimal reverse leakage (≤0.05 μA at VR = 25.1 V), and non-repetitive peak reverse power capability of 40 W for 100 μs pulses - supporting transient suppression in regulated power paths.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Nominal Zener Voltage | 33 V (min 31.0 V, max 35.0 V) - defines stable regulation point for 24–36 V system rails |

| Differential Resistance | ≤35 Ω - ensures <1% output voltage shift per 0.7 mA load variation near regulation point |
| Power Dissipation | 1 W at Tamb = 25 °C - supports continuous regulation in compact PCB layouts with ceramic substrate mounting |
| Temperature Coefficient | +27.4 to +29.7 mV/K - enables predictable voltage drift compensation in industrial temperature ranges |
| Reverse Leakage Current | ≤0.05 μA at 25.1 V - guarantees negligible quiescent current draw in high-impedance reference nodes |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5265B,115 | Same 33 V nominal Zener voltage but SOT23 package; Ptot = 350 mW; rdif = 45 Ω | Limited to low-power biasing; unsuitable for >150 mA shunt loads or thermal cycling above 85 °C | Select when board space is constrained and power dissipation remains below 350 mW. |
| BZX84-C33,115 | SOT23 package; same 33 V rating; Ptot = 300 mW; rdif = 50 Ω; higher leakage (≤1 μA) | Lower thermal robustness and regulation accuracy; not recommended for industrial temperature gradients | Choose only for cost-sensitive consumer applications with ambient <60 °C and no surge requirements. |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current the BZV49-C33,115 can sustain?
The BZV49-C33,115 has no specified continuous reverse current rating beyond its 1 W power limit. At 33 V nominal Zener voltage, this translates to a maximum continuous Zener current of approximately 30 mA (IZ = Ptot/VZ ≈ 1 W / 33 V). Derating is required above 25 °C ambient per Rth(j-a) = 125 K/W.
Can the BZV49-C33,115 be used in parallel for higher current handling?
No - Zener diodes exhibit negative temperature coefficients that cause current hogging when paralleled. Even matched units will thermally diverge, leading to premature failure of one device. For higher current regulation, use a series pass transistor with BZV49-C33,115 as reference.
Is the SOT89 package lead-free and RoHS compliant?
Yes - the BZV49-C33,115 is manufactured in accordance with Nexperia's lead-free and RoHS-compliant standards. The SOT89 package uses matte tin (Sn) termination finish and meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL1) for unlimited floor life at ≤30 °C/85% RH.
How does temperature affect the 33 V regulation voltage?
The BZV49-C33,115 has a positive temperature coefficient of +27.4 to +29.7 mV/K. This means its Zener voltage increases by ~28 mV per 1 K rise in junction temperature - resulting in ~2.8 V increase over a 100 K range (−50 °C to +50 °C junction). Circuit design must account for this drift in precision references.
