Product details
Overview
BZV49-C4V3,135 from Nexperia is a medium-power Zener voltage regulator diode in SOT89 package, designed for precision DC voltage reference and stabilization in low-to-medium power circuits. It delivers a nominal working voltage of 4.3 V (min 4.0 V, max 4.6 V) at 5 mA test current, with ±5% tolerance, 80–90 Ω differential resistance, and −3.5 to −2.5 mV/K temperature coefficient. Used in power supply feedback loops and voltage clamping for microcontroller I/O protection.
For engineers reviewing the BZV49-C4V3,135 datasheet, BZV49-C4V3,135 pinout, BZV49-C4V3,135 application, or BZV49-C4V3,135 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy at 5 mA, thermal resistance (125 K/W junction-to-ambient), non-repetitive peak reverse power capability (40 W), and SOT89 thermal pad layout compatibility with PCB copper pour.
Technical Context
This device operates as a reverse-biased Zener diode, maintaining stable regulation across its specified test current range (5 mA). Its differential resistance (80–90 Ω) and negative temperature coefficient (−3.5 to −2.5 mV/K) indicate predictable voltage drift over temperature-critical for analog reference stability in industrial sensors and power management IC feedback paths.
The SOT89 package integrates a large collector pad (Pin 3) for enhanced thermal conduction, enabling 1 W continuous power dissipation when mounted on a 2.5 cm² ceramic substrate. Non-repetitive surge handling (40 W, 100 μs square wave) supports transient suppression in DC-DC converter input stages.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 4.0–4.6 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines stable regulation window for 3.3 V/5 V rail monitoring and clamping |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | 80–90 Ω - determines output impedance and load regulation sensitivity in shunt reference designs |
| Temperature Coefficient (SZ) | −3.5 to −2.5 mV/K - enables predictable voltage drift compensation in temperature-critical analog front-ends |
| Test Current (IZtest) | 5 mA - standard bias point for specification compliance; design must ensure minimum current for regulation |
| Max Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 1 W at Tamb = 25 °C - sets PCB copper area and thermal pad requirements for sustained operation |
| Non-repetitive Peak Power (PZSM) | 40 W for 100 μs - supports ESD/transient immunity in automotive body control modules and industrial IO protectors |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤3 μA at VR = 3 V - ensures low quiescent current in battery-powered sensor nodes |
Pinout & Package

| 2 | Cathode | Zener breakdown terminal; tied to regulated voltage node and feedback path in switching regulators |
| 3 | Anode (thermal pad) | Electrically common with Pin 1; soldered to PCB copper pour for thermal conduction and mechanical anchoring |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMSZ4V3T1G | Same 4.3 V nominal Zener voltage but SOD-123 package; 500 mW Ptot; higher rdif (100 Ω typical) | Limited to lower-power applications due to reduced thermal mass and no thermal pad | Select when board space is constrained and power dissipation remains <300 mW |
| BZX84-C4V3 | SOT23 package; 350 mW Ptot; wider VZ tolerance (±5% to ±10%); no thermal pad | Not suitable for >200 mW continuous dissipation or surge-prone environments | Choose only for cost-sensitive consumer electronics where thermal stress is negligible |
Compared with MMSZ4V3T1G and BZX84-C4V3, BZV49-C4V3,135 provides superior thermal performance (1 W rating + SOT89 pad), tighter regulation stability under load variation, and robust 40 W surge handling-making it the preferred choice for automotive and industrial power management where long-term reliability is critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current for BZV49-C4V3,135?
The maximum continuous forward current is 250 mA, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This rating applies only when the device is operated in forward bias-however, in normal Zener regulation use, it functions in reverse bias, where the critical parameter is reverse test current (5 mA) and power dissipation limits (1 W).
Can BZV49-C4V3,135 be used as a replacement for BZX84-C4V3 in existing designs?
No direct drop-in replacement is possible due to package and thermal differences: BZV49-C4V3,135 uses SOT89 with thermal pad (Pin 3), while BZX84-C4V3 uses SOT23 with no thermal pad. PCB footprint, thermal relief, and power handling differ significantly-redesign of layout and thermal validation are required.
What is the significance of the "C" in BZV49-C4V3?
The "C" denotes the E24 series tolerance grade, indicating approximately ±5% Zener voltage tolerance at the specified test current. This distinguishes it from "A" (±1%) or "B" (±2%) grades in other Nexperia Zener families, targeting cost-optimized yet stable regulation in general-purpose applications.
How does the temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy over −40 °C to +125 °C?
With a typical temperature coefficient of −2.5 mV/K, the Zener voltage decreases by ~425 mV across this 170 K range. For a 4.3 V nominal voltage, that represents ~10% drift-so system-level compensation (e.g., series thermistor or digital calibration) is needed in high-accuracy applications beyond basic clamping or coarse feedback.
