Product details
Overview
BZV55-B43,115 from Nexperia is a ±2 % tolerance, 43 V nominal Zener voltage regulator diode in a hermetically sealed glass SOD80C surface-mount package. It delivers 5 mA regulation current with 85 Ω typical differential resistance at 25 °C, supports non-repetitive 40 W surge power (100 µs square wave), and operates across −65 °C to +200 °C junction temperature. It serves as a precision reference or overvoltage clamp in low-power analog supply rails.
For engineers reviewing the BZV55-B43,115 datasheet, BZV55-B43,115 pinout, BZV55-B43,115 application, or BZV55-B43,115 equivalent, this page provides verified electrical parameters, thermal behavior, SOD80C footprint details, and validated alternative Zeners for voltage reference design, power rail stabilization, and transient suppression in industrial control and sensor signal conditioning.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable DC voltage under varying load or input conditions. Its 43 V nominal working voltage is specified at IZ = 5 mA, with a temperature coefficient of +45 mV/K and 40 pF capacitance at 1 MHz and 0 V reverse bias.
The device exhibits low differential resistance (85 Ω typ. at 5 mA) and high surge robustness: 40 W non-repetitive peak reverse power dissipation with 100 µs pulse width, and 400 mW total power dissipation at Tamb ≤ 50 °C on ceramic substrate.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX55C43 | ±5 % tolerance, 43 V nominal, same SOD80C package, higher rdif (100 Ω max) | Lower accuracy; suitable where cost outweighs regulation precision | Select when ±5 % voltage tolerance is acceptable and BOM cost reduction is prioritized |
| MMSZ43ET1G | ±5 % tolerance, 43 V nominal, SOD-123 package, 500 mW Ptot, 100 Ω rdif max | Larger thermal resistance (400 K/W) limits power handling in confined layouts | Choose only if SOD-123 footprint compatibility is required and derating to 300 mW is acceptable |
Compared with BZV55-B43,115, BZX55C43 trades tighter tolerance for lower unit cost, while MMSZ43ET1G sacrifices thermal performance and accuracy for broader package availability-making the BZV55-B43,115 optimal for high-stability, space-constrained industrial references.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current for BZV55-B43,115?
The absolute maximum forward current is 250 mA per the datasheet limiting values table. However, sustained forward conduction is not its intended operating mode; the device is designed for reverse-bias Zener regulation. Forward voltage is specified at 10 mA (≤0.9 V), and prolonged forward bias above 100 mA risks thermal overstress due to low thermal resistance to ambient (380 K/W).
Can BZV55-B43,115 be used in parallel for higher power dissipation?
No-Zener diodes exhibit negative temperature coefficients below ~5 V and positive above, but the BZV55-B43,115 has a +45 mV/K coefficient, causing current hogging if paralleled without individual ballast resistors. Even with balancing, mismatched rdif (85 Ω typ.) and VZ tolerance (±2 %) prevent uniform current sharing, risking thermal runaway and premature failure.
What is the recommended PCB pad layout for SOD80C reflow soldering?
The official Nexperia reflow footprint specifies two 0.90 mm × 2.30 mm solder lands spaced 1.70 mm center-to-center, with 4.30 mm overall land length and 4.55 mm occupied area width. Thermal relief is not required due to low power, but solder mask defined pads are advised to prevent bridging during 4 mm pitch tape-and-reel placement.
How does the 43 V Zener voltage change with temperature?
At IZ = 5 mA, the temperature coefficient is +45 mV/K, meaning VZ increases by approximately 45 mV per 1 K rise in junction temperature. Over −40 °C to +125 °C ambient (assuming 25 °C rise to junction), VZ shifts by roughly +6.8 V-verified in Figure 4 of the datasheet, which shows monotonic positive drift across the full working current range.
