Product details
Overview
BZV55-C5V1,115 from Nexperia is a 5.1 V ±5 % tolerance Zener voltage regulator diode in a hermetically sealed glass SOD80C surface-mount package, rated for 500 mW total power dissipation and 40 W non-repetitive peak reverse power, used for low-power voltage reference and regulation in bias networks, overvoltage protection, and signal conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZV55-C5V1,115 datasheet, BZV55-C5V1,115 pinout, BZV55-C5V1,115 application, or BZV55-C5V1,115 equivalent, key selection criteria include nominal Zener voltage (5.1 V), tolerance (±5 %), differential resistance (400–480 Ω at IZ = 5 mA), reverse leakage (≤2 µA at VR = 2 V), and thermal resistance (300 K/W junction-to-solder point).
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain a stable reference voltage across its terminals under varying current conditions. Its temperature coefficient of −2.7 to −0.8 mV/K at IZ = 5 mA enables predictable drift behavior in ambient-temperature-sensitive designs.
The device features low differential resistance (400–480 Ω) and low capacitance (1.2 pF at f = 1 MHz, VR = 0 V), supporting stable DC regulation and minimal high-frequency coupling in filtering and clamping applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 5.1 V nominal, ±5 % tolerance - defines precise DC reference level for biasing or regulation |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | 400–480 Ω at IZ = 5 mA - determines output impedance and regulation sensitivity to current changes |
| Reverse Leakage Current (IR) | ≤2 µA at VR = 2 V - ensures minimal parasitic loading in high-impedance reference nodes |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 500 mW at Tamb ≤ 50 °C on ceramic substrate - sets maximum continuous DC power handling capability |
| Non-repetitive Peak Reverse Power (PZSM) | 40 W for 100 µs square wave - supports transient overvoltage suppression without failure |
| Junction-to-Solder-Point Thermal Resistance (Rth(j-sp)) | 300 K/W - quantifies thermal path efficiency for PCB-level heat transfer during pulsed operation |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | ≤0.9 V at IF = 10 mA - defines conduction loss when used in forward-biased clamp or protection roles |
Pinout & Package
Hermetically sealed glass SOD80C surface-mount package: 3.3–3.7 mm length, 1.45–1.60 mm width, 0.3 mm height; cathode indicated by marking band.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode | Connected to regulated voltage node; reverse-bias terminal where Zener breakdown occurs |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current for BZV55-C5V1,115 at 25 °C?
The device has no specified maximum continuous reverse current; instead, it is limited by total power dissipation. At 25 °C ambient on a ceramic substrate, Ptot = 500 mW implies IZ ≤ 98 mA (500 mW ÷ 5.1 V), but derating applies above 50 °C ambient per the datasheet thermal curves.
Can BZV55-C5V1,115 be used in place of a 5 V TTL logic clamp?
Yes - with VZ = 5.1 V and low dynamic impedance, it clamps transients above ~5.3 V (including forward drop). However, its 400–480 Ω rdif means it cannot sink large surge currents without significant voltage rise; pairing with a series resistor is essential for sustained 5 V rail protection.
How does the temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy over −40 °C to +85 °C?
With SZ = −2.7 to −0.8 mV/K, the worst-case drift is ~−0.31 V over 125 K span (−40 to +85 °C), yielding VZ ≈ 4.8–4.9 V at +85 °C. This 5–7 % deviation remains within typical 10 % system tolerance budgets for non-precision biasing.
Is the SOD80C package compatible with standard reflow soldering profiles?
Yes - Nexperia specifies compatibility with JEDEC J-STD-020D reflow profiles. The glass-body SOD80C withstands peak temperatures up to 260 °C for ≤10 s; recommended footprint matches Figure 7 in the datasheet, with 2.30 mm × 4.30 mm solder lands and 0.90 mm pad spacing.
