Product details
Overview
BZV49-C3V3,115 from Nexperia is a 3.3 V ±5% Zener voltage regulator diode in SOT89 package, rated for 1 W total power dissipation, 5 mA test current, and 85–95 Ω differential resistance at 25 °C, used for precision low-voltage reference and overvoltage protection in power supply feedback loops.
For engineers reviewing the BZV49-C3V3,115 datasheet, BZV49-C3V3,115 pinout, BZV49-C3V3,115 application, or BZV49-C3V3,115 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±5%), thermal resistance (125 K/W junction-to-ambient), non-repetitive peak reverse power (40 W), and SOT89 thermal pad layout compatibility with PCB copper pour.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal shunt voltage reference, maintaining stable 3.3 V regulation under reverse bias when current exceeds 5 mA. Its temperature coefficient is −2.4 mV/K (typical), enabling predictable drift compensation in temperature-sensitive analog circuits.
The SOT89 package features an exposed collector pad (Pin 3) for enhanced thermal conduction, supporting continuous operation up to 150 °C junction temperature. Reverse leakage remains ≤5 μA at VR = 1.0 V, ensuring low standby power loss in battery-backed systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 3.1 V to 3.5 V at IZtest = 5 mA - defines regulated output range for feedback sensing |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | 85–95 Ω - determines load regulation error under varying current |
| Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 1 W at Tamb = 25 °C - sets maximum continuous power handling on standard PCB |
| Non-repetitive Peak Power (PZSM) | 40 W for tp = 100 μs - enables transient surge suppression without failure |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤5 μA at VR = 1.0 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in always-on monitoring circuits |
| Thermal Resistance (Rth(j-a)) | 125 K/W - requires ≥2.5 cm² ceramic substrate for full 1 W rating |
| Capacitance (Cd) | 450 pF at f = 1 MHz, VR = 0 V - impacts high-frequency noise filtering capability |
Pinout & Package
SOT89 (SC-62) surface-mount plastic package with exposed thermal pad (Pin 3) for improved heat transfer; 3-lead configuration optimized for medium-power regulation in space-constrained layouts.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current the BZV49-C3V3,115 can sustain at 25 °C?
The device supports continuous reverse current up to 250 mA, derived from its 1 W total power dissipation rating and nominal 3.3 V Zener voltage (P = V × I → I = 1 W / 3.3 V ≈ 303 mA), with derating applied per thermal limits. At 25 °C ambient on a 2.5 cm² ceramic substrate, 250 mA is the safe operational ceiling before junction temperature exceeds 150 °C.
How does the SOT89 thermal pad (Pin 3) connect electrically in the BZV49-C3V3,115?
Pin 3 is internally connected to Pin 1 (anode) and serves solely as a thermal conduction path - it must be soldered to a PCB copper pour tied to the same net as Pin 1. No separate electrical connection is required or permitted; using Pin 3 as an independent node violates the internal construction and risks thermal delamination or parametric shift.
Can the BZV49-C3V3,115 replace a 3.3 V Zener in a 12 V automotive lighting control circuit?
Yes, provided the series current-limiting resistor is recalculated to maintain ≥5 mA test current and ≤1 W dissipation under worst-case 14.5 V battery conditions. With R = (14.5 V − 3.3 V) / 0.25 A = 44.8 Ω minimum, the device regulates reliably while surviving load-dump transients up to 40 W due to its SOT89 thermal mass and peak power rating.
What is the typical Zener impedance at 10 mA for the BZV49-C3V3,115?
While datasheet specifies 85–95 Ω at IZtest = 5 mA, extrapolation from the rdif vs. IZ curve (Fig.4) shows impedance drops to ~65 Ω at 10 mA. This lower dynamic resistance improves regulation accuracy under varying load conditions, especially in feedback networks where current swings between 5–15 mA during normal operation.
