Product details
Overview
BZV55-C8V2,115 from Nexperia is a low-power Zener voltage regulator diode in a hermetically sealed glass SOD80C surface-mount package, providing a nominal 8.2 V regulation voltage with ±5 % tolerance at IZ = 5 mA, differential resistance of 40–80 Ω, and reverse leakage current ≤700 nA at VR = 5 V. It delivers stable reference voltage for low-current biasing, signal clamping, and overvoltage protection in space-constrained consumer and industrial PCBs.
For engineers reviewing the BZV55-C8V2,115 datasheet, BZV55-C8V2,115 pinout, BZV55-C8V2,115 application, or BZV55-C8V2,115 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 8.2 V Zener voltage tolerance, 400–500 mW total power dissipation capability, thermal resistance (Rth(j-a) = 380 K/W), SOD80C footprint compatibility, and non-repetitive surge rating of 40 W.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain a stable DC reference voltage across its terminals under varying load and supply conditions. Its regulation performance is specified at IZ = 5 mA, with temperature coefficient of +3.2 to +6.2 mV/K and low capacitance (≤150 pF at 1 MHz, VR = 0 V).
The device uses a planar silicon junction structure optimized for low noise and predictable knee characteristics. Its SOD80C package enables reflow-compatible assembly while maintaining hermetic sealing for long-term stability and moisture resistance in non-automotive environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 8.2 V nominal, ±5 % tolerance at IZ = 5 mA - defines precise DC reference point for analog circuits |
| Differential Resistance (rdiff) | 40–80 Ω at IZ = 5 mA - determines output impedance and load regulation sensitivity |
| Reverse Leakage Current (IR) | ≤700 nA at VR = 5 V - ensures minimal quiescent current draw in standby mode |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 400 mW at Tamb ≤ 50 °C; 500 mW at Ttp ≤ 50 °C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling |
| Non-repetitive Peak Power (PZSM) | 40 W for tp = 100 µs square wave - supports transient overvoltage suppression |
| Thermal Resistance (Rth(j-a)) | 380 K/W in free air - governs junction temperature rise under steady-state operation |
| Package | SOD80C - 3.3–3.7 mm length, 1.45–1.60 mm width, 0.3 mm height glass SMD outline compatible with JEDEC MS-012 |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX55-C8V2 | Same 8.2 V ±5 % spec, but in larger DO-35 glass axial package (not SMD); Rth(j-a) = 500 K/W | Requires through-hole assembly; unsuitable for dense SMT layouts | Select only if legacy through-hole design or manual prototyping is required |
| MMSZ5236B | 8.2 V ±5 %, SOD-123 package; higher Ptot = 500 mW, rdiff = 30 Ω typical, but Cd = 30 pF | Better regulation accuracy and lower capacitance, yet less robust against moisture ingress | Prefer for high-precision references where board space allows SOD-123 footprint |
Compared with BZV55-C8V2,115, BZX55-C8V2 trades SMD compatibility for higher thermal resistance and manual assembly, while MMSZ5236B improves regulation sharpness and reduces parasitic capacitance at the expense of hermetic reliability in humid environments.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current for BZV55-C8V2,115?
The absolute maximum forward current is 250 mA per Table 5. However, sustained forward conduction is not intended in normal Zener operation; the device is rated for reverse-bias regulation. Forward voltage is 0.9 V max at 10 mA, making it unsuitable as a rectifier.
Can BZV55-C8V2,115 be used in place of a 7.5 V Zener diode?
No - BZV55-C8V2,115 has a nominal Zener voltage of 8.2 V (7.7–8.7 V range), not 7.5 V. Substituting it for a 7.5 V part would shift reference levels by >90 mV, potentially causing comparator mis-triggering or ADC scaling errors. Use BZV55-C7V5 for 7.5 V applications.
Does this diode require a series current-limiting resistor in regulation mode?
Yes - a series resistor is mandatory to limit Zener current to within safe operating limits. For example, with a 12 V supply and target IZ = 5 mA, a 760 Ω resistor sets power dissipation at 38 mW, well below the 400–500 mW Ptot limit and ensuring stable 8.2 V regulation.
Is BZV55-C8V2,115 qualified for automotive applications?
No - this part is not AEC-Q200 qualified or tested for automotive use. The datasheet explicitly states "Non-automotive qualified products" and prohibits use in safety-critical systems. For automotive-grade Zeners, consider Nexperia's PZUx series or ON Semiconductor's 1N47xxA-Q variants.
