Product details
Overview
BZV49-C56,115 from Nexperia is a medium-power Zener voltage regulator diode in SOT89 package, designed for precision DC voltage reference and overvoltage protection in power supply rails. It delivers a nominal working voltage of 56 V at 2 mA test current, with ±5% tolerance, 70 Ω typical differential resistance, and −0.3 mV/K temperature coefficient. Used in industrial power converters and automotive body control modules where stable 56 V regulation is required.
For engineers reviewing the BZV49-C56,115 datasheet, BZV49-C56,115 pinout, BZV49-C56,115 application, or BZV49-C56,115 equivalent, this page provides verified electrical parameters, thermal behavior, SOT89 terminal mapping, real-world use cases, and validated alternative parts for voltage reference design and ESD-robust clamping circuits.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with a specified test current of 2 mA, delivering precise 56 V regulation under stable thermal conditions (Tj = 25 °C). Its low temperature coefficient (−0.3 mV/K) minimizes drift across operating temperatures, and its 70 Ω differential resistance ensures predictable dynamic response during load transients.
The device supports non-repetitive peak reverse power dissipation up to 40 W for 100 μs pulses, enabling transient surge suppression in 24–48 V system rails. Mounted on a ceramic substrate (2.5 cm²), it achieves Rth(j-tp) = 15 K/W, allowing reliable operation up to Tj = 150 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Working Voltage (VZ) | 52.0–60.0 V at IZtest = 2 mA - defines regulated output voltage range for feedback or clamp circuits |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | 70 Ω max - determines output impedance and load regulation error under varying current |
| Temperature Coefficient (SZ) | −0.3 mV/K - quantifies voltage drift per degree Celsius, critical for wide-temperature designs |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 1 W at Tamb = 25 °C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling on standard PCB layout |
| Non-repetitive Peak Power (PZSM) | 40 W for 100 μs - enables short-duration surge clamping without failure |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤ 0.05 μA at VR = 42 V - ensures minimal leakage in high-impedance bias networks |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 150 °C max - defines upper thermal limit for reliability in enclosed enclosures |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5256B,115 | Same 56 V nominal voltage, SOT23 package, 0.35 W Ptot, higher rdif (100 Ω) | Limited to low-power signal-level references; unsuitable for >100 mA regulation | Select when board space is constrained and power < 350 mW |
| BZX84-C56,115 | Same 56 V, SOT23, 0.3 W Ptot, ±5% tolerance, but no guaranteed 40 W pulse rating | Not rated for automotive load-dump clamping; lacks pulse power validation | Select for cost-sensitive consumer applications with benign thermal environments |
Compared with MMBZ5256B,115 and BZX84-C56,115, the BZV49-C56,115 provides 2.9× higher continuous power and validated 40 W transient capability-making it the only option among the three qualified for industrial 1 W regulation and automotive-grade surge suppression.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current the BZV49-C56,115 can sustain at 85 °C ambient?
At 85 °C ambient, the BZV49-C56,115 sustains up to 17 mA continuous reverse current before exceeding its 150 °C junction limit. This is derived from its 125 K/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance and 1 W total power rating, with derating applied per the thermal curve in Figure 2 of the datasheet.
Does the BZV49-C56,115 meet AEC-Q200 stress testing requirements for automotive use?
No-while widely used in automotive body electronics, the BZV49-C56,115 is not officially AEC-Q200 qualified. For Q200-compliant alternatives, consider Nexperia's PZUxxL3A series, which undergoes full temperature cycling, humidity bias, and mechanical shock testing per the standard.
Can Pin 3 be left unconnected or used as a separate thermal pad?
No-Pin 3 is electrically tied to Pin 1 (anode) and must be soldered to the same net. It serves as both a mechanical anchor and primary thermal path; floating it degrades thermal resistance by >40% and risks mechanical delamination during thermal cycling.
How does the −0.3 mV/K temperature coefficient impact regulation accuracy over −40 to +125 °C?
Over that range, the coefficient causes a total shift of −51 mV (−0.3 mV/K × 170 K), resulting in a 56 V nominal output varying from 55.95 V to 55.90 V. This 0.09% drift is acceptable for non-precision regulation but insufficient for metrology-grade references.
