Product details
Overview
BZV49-C4V3,115 from Nexperia is a medium-power Zener voltage regulator diode in SOT89 package, designed for precision DC voltage reference and regulation at nominal 4.3 V with ±5% tolerance, 80–90 Ω differential resistance, and 3 mA test current. It delivers stable regulation in low-current power supply rails and sensor bias networks.
For engineers reviewing the BZV49-C4V3,115 datasheet, BZV49-C4V3,115 pinout, BZV49-C4V3,115 application, or BZV49-C4V3,115 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy at 3 mA, thermal resistance (125 K/W), 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 4.0–4.6 V reference across load variations. Its temperature coefficient is −3.5 to −2.5 mV/K, indicating negative drift with rising junction temperature - critical for ambient-compensated references.
The device uses silicon planar epitaxial construction with a 3-lead SOT89 package featuring an exposed collector pad for enhanced thermal conduction. It supports continuous forward current up to 250 mA and withstands non-repetitive surge currents up to 1.0 A at 100 μs pulse width.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 4.0–4.6 V at IZtest = 3 mA - defines usable regulation window under standard test conditions |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | 80–90 Ω - determines output impedance and load regulation sensitivity |
| Temperature Coefficient (SZ) | −3.5 to −2.5 mV/K - quantifies voltage drift per degree Celsius rise in junction temperature |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 1 W at Tamb = 25 °C on ceramic substrate - sets maximum steady-state thermal budget |
| Non-repetitive Peak Reverse Power (PZSM) | 40 W at tp = 100 μs - enables transient overvoltage clamping without failure |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤3 μA at VR = 1.0 V - confirms low leakage in sub-threshold blocking state |
| Junction-to-Ambient Thermal Resistance | 125 K/W - defines temperature rise per watt under standard mounting conditions |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT89 (SC-62), plastic surface-mounted with exposed thermal pad (Pin 3) for improved heat transfer. Dimensions per JEDEC TO-243 outline: 4.6 × 2.6 × 1.6 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode | Forward current entry point; connected to lower-potential side in regulation configuration |
| 2 | Cathode | Reverse-bias terminal; connected to regulated output node and current-limiting resistor |
| 3 | Anode (thermal pad) | Electrically tied to Pin 1; provides mechanical anchoring and thermal path to PCB copper |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| E24 Standard Voltage Range | Part of 37-type series covering 2.4–75 V - ensures design reuse across multiple voltage nodes |
| ±5% Tolerance | Tight initial calibration without trimming - reduces need for post-assembly adjustment |
| 1 W Continuous Power Rating | Enables direct use in 5–12 V rail regulation without external heatsinking in moderate ambient |
| Low Capacitance (450 pF) | Minimizes high-frequency loading in signal-path references and feedback networks |
| SOT89 Thermal Pad | Reduces junction-to-PCB thermal resistance - improves long-term reliability under sustained load |
Applications
| Power Supply Reference | Sensor Bias Network |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation for BZV49-C4V3,115?
The BZV49-C4V3,115 has a total power dissipation rating of 1 W at ambient temperature of 25 °C when mounted on a 2.5 cm² ceramic substrate. Derating is required above 25 °C at 8 mW/°C based on its 125 K/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance.
Is BZV49-C4V3,115 pin-compatible with other SOT89 Zener diodes?
Yes - it follows the standard SOT89 pinout (Pin 1: anode, Pin 2: cathode, Pin 3: anode/thermal pad) used across Nexperia's BZV49 series and compatible with industry-standard SOT89 footprints. Mechanical and thermal pad layout matches JEDEC TO-243 specifications.
What is the typical Zener test current and why is it important?
The specified test current is 3 mA. This value is used to measure VZ, rdif, and temperature coefficient under standardized conditions. Operating significantly above or below this current alters regulation voltage and dynamic impedance - critical for precision reference design.
Can BZV49-C4V3,115 be used in place of a 4.3 V TL431 shunt regulator?
No - the BZV49-C4V3,115 is a passive two-terminal Zener diode, while the TL431 is an active three-terminal programmable shunt regulator with adjustable threshold and higher accuracy. They differ fundamentally in architecture, temperature stability, and current-sourcing capability.
