Product details
Overview
BZV55-C13,115 from Nexperia is a 13 V ±5 % tolerance silicon Zener voltage regulator diode in a hermetically sealed glass SOD80C surface-mount package, rated for 400 mW total power dissipation at Tamb ≤ 50 °C and 500 mW at Ttp ≤ 50 °C, with 100 nA reverse current at VR = 8 V and 7.0–9.4 Ω differential resistance at IZ = 5 mA - used for precision low-power voltage reference and overvoltage protection in sensor signal conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZV55-C13,115 datasheet, BZV55-C13,115 pinout, BZV55-C13,115 application, or BZV55-C13,115 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal behavior under transient surge (tp = 100 µs), cathode/anode terminal mapping, and real-world substitution guidance for board-level voltage stabilization design.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable DC reference voltage across load variations and supply fluctuations. Its 13 V nominal Zener voltage is specified at IZ = 5 mA, with temperature coefficient of +7.0 to +9.4 mV/K and low differential resistance enabling tight regulation under dynamic current conditions.
The device uses a planar epitaxial construction in a hermetically sealed glass SOD80C package, supporting reflow and wave soldering per IPC-J-STD-020. Thermal resistance from junction to ambient is 380 K/W in free air, limiting continuous power handling without heatsinking.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 12.7 V to 13.3 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines stable regulation point for biasing or clamping |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | 7.0 Ω (typ), 9.4 Ω (max) at IZ = 5 mA - determines output impedance and load regulation error |
| Reverse Current (IR) | 100 nA max at VR = 8 V - ensures minimal leakage in high-impedance reference nodes |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 400 mW at Tamb ≤ 50 °C - sets maximum continuous DC power before thermal derating |
| Non-repetitive Peak Power (PZSM) | 40 W at tp = 100 µs - supports transient overvoltage suppression without failure |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 0.9 V max at IF = 10 mA - defines forward conduction loss in series protection configurations |
| Junction-to-Ambient Rth | 380 K/W in free air - quantifies self-heating under steady-state operation |
Pinout & Package
Hermetically sealed glass SOD80C package: 3.3–3.7 mm length × 1.45–1.60 mm width × 0.3 mm height; marking band denotes cathode.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode | Connected to regulated output node; reverse-biased during Zener operation |
| 2 | Anode | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; completes current path during regulation |
Key Features

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current the BZV55-C13,115 can sustain at 25 °C?
The device has no specified maximum continuous reverse current; its safe operating area is defined by power dissipation limits. At 25 °C ambient, Ptot = 500 mW implies IZ ≤ 38.5 mA for VZ = 13 V, but derating begins above 50 °C per the 380 K/W thermal resistance specification.
Does the BZV55-C13,115 meet RoHS and REACH compliance requirements?
Yes - Nexperia confirms BZV55-C13,115 complies with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006, with lead-free terminations and halogen-free packaging consistent with Nexperia's standard qualification process.
Can BZV55-C13,115 be used in series to achieve higher Zener voltages?
No - series connection is not recommended due to mismatched temperature coefficients (+7.0 to +9.4 mV/K) causing unequal voltage division and thermal runaway risk; use a single higher-voltage Zener (e.g., BZV55-C15) instead.
What is the typical junction capacitance of BZV55-C13,115 at zero bias?
Per Table 8, the diode capacitance Cd is 80 pF maximum at f = 1 MHz and VR = 0 V, measured under standard test conditions - critical for high-frequency noise filtering and RF bypass applications.
