Product details
Overview
BZV49-C39,115 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 39 V at 2 mA test current, with ±5% tolerance, 40 Ω typical differential resistance, and −0.7 mV/K temperature coefficient - enabling stable regulation in industrial power converters and automotive sensor biasing circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZV49-C39,115 datasheet, BZV49-C39,115 pinout, BZV49-C39,115 application, or BZV49-C39,115 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy at 2 mA, thermal resistance (15 K/W junction-to-tie-point), non-repetitive peak reverse power (40 W), and SOT89 thermal pad compatibility with PCB copper pour.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain a stable reference voltage across its cathode-anode terminals under varying load and temperature conditions. Its 39 V nominal Zener voltage is specified at IZtest = 2 mA, with differential resistance of 40 Ω (typ.) and temperature coefficient of −0.7 mV/K - indicating slight negative drift over temperature.
The device uses silicon planar technology in a 3-lead SOT89 surface-mount package with an exposed collector pad for enhanced thermal conduction. It supports continuous forward current up to 250 mA and withstands non-repetitive peak reverse surges of 40 W for 100 μs, making it suitable for transient-suppressed regulation in DC/DC feedback paths.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 37.0–41.0 V at IZ = 2 mA - defines regulated output range for feedback or reference use |
| Differential Resistance rdif | 40 Ω (max) at IZ = 2 mA - determines output impedance and load regulation error |
| Temperature Coefficient SZ | −0.7 mV/K (typ) - quantifies voltage drift per °C, critical for wide-temperature designs |
| Total Power Dissipation Ptot | 1 W at Tamb = 25 °C on ceramic substrate - sets maximum steady-state thermal budget |
| Non-repetitive Peak Power PZSM | 40 W for tp = 100 μs - enables surge handling in transient-limited protection circuits |
| Reverse Current IR | ≤0.05 μA at VR = 29.4 V - ensures low leakage in high-impedance bias networks |
| Junction-to-Tie-Point Rth(j-tp) | 15 K/W - allows direct thermal coupling to PCB copper for improved power derating |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT89 (SC-62), plastic surface-mounted with exposed thermal pad (pin 3). Designed for high thermal efficiency via PCB copper pour attachment to the collector pad.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation for BZV49-C39,115?
The BZV49-C39,115 has a total power dissipation rating of 1 W at Tamb = 25 °C when mounted on a 2.5 cm² ceramic substrate. Derating is required above 25 °C at 8 mW/°C, based on a thermal resistance of 125 K/W junction-to-ambient. For higher ambient temperatures, the thermal pad (pin 3) must be soldered to PCB copper to leverage the lower 15 K/W junction-to-tie-point path.
Does BZV49-C39,115 have a built-in thermal pad, and how should it be used?
Yes - pin 3 is an exposed anode thermal pad integral to the SOT89 package. It must be soldered to a minimum 2.5 cm² copper area on the PCB to achieve the rated 1 W power dissipation and 15 K/W junction-to-tie-point thermal resistance. Leaving it unconnected reduces effective power handling to ~300 mW and increases thermal resistance significantly.
What is the Zener test current and why is it important for regulation accuracy?
The Zener voltage is specified at IZtest = 2 mA. Operating significantly above or below this current increases differential resistance error and temperature coefficient deviation. For best accuracy, design the bias network to maintain 1–5 mA through the diode - ensuring stable 39 V regulation while minimizing drift and impedance-induced load error.
Can BZV49-C39,115 replace BZX84-C39 in existing designs?
No - although both regulate at 39 V, BZV49-C39,115 is a 3-lead SOT89 device with thermal pad and 1 W rating, whereas BZX84-C39 is a 3-lead SOT23 with no thermal pad and only 350 mW rating. Direct replacement requires PCB layout revision, thermal pad routing, and verification of power/impedance requirements; it is not a drop-in substitute.
