Product details
Overview
BZV85-C33,133 from Nexperia is a medium-power Zener voltage regulator diode in a hermetically sealed SOD66 (DO-41) glass package, rated for 33 V nominal working voltage with ±5 % tolerance, 1.3 W total power dissipation, and 60 W non-repetitive peak reverse power. It serves as a precision voltage reference or shunt regulator in low-to-medium power linear power supplies and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZV85-C33,133 datasheet, BZV85-C33,133 pinout, BZV85-C33,133 application, or BZV85-C33,133 equivalent, this device is selected for stable DC voltage stabilization where thermal resistance to tie-point (110 K/W) and low temperature coefficient (±0.05 mV/K at 33 V) are critical for accuracy under varying ambient conditions.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with a specified test current of 8 mA and exhibits a differential resistance of 45 Ω at that point. Its junction temperature can reach up to 200 °C, supported by thermal resistance from junction to tie-point of 110 K/W when leads are held at 55 °C at 4 mm from body.
The device features a negative temperature coefficient below 5 V and transitions to positive above ~7.5 V; at 33 V, its typical temperature coefficient is +0.05 mV/K, ensuring minimal drift across operating temperature ranges. Reverse current remains ≤0.05 µA at VR = 23 V, confirming tight leakage control for precision biasing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Nominal Zener Voltage | 33 V ±5 % - defines regulated output voltage under 8 mA test current with predictable tolerance band for circuit margining |
| Total Power Dissipation | 1.3 W - maximum steady-state power handling on PCB with 1 cm² copper per lead, enabling use in compact board-level regulators |
| Differential Resistance | 45 Ω - small-signal dynamic impedance affecting regulation stiffness and load transient response |
| Temperature Coefficient | +0.05 mV/K - low drift rate ensures <±10 mV shift over −65 °C to +150 °C junction range |
| Non-repetitive Peak Reverse Power | 60 W - supports surge suppression during 100 µs transients without degradation |
| Reverse Current | ≤0.05 µA at 23 V - enables high-impedance bias networks and low-leakage reference designs |
| Forward Voltage | ≤1 V at 50 mA - allows use as polarity-sensitive clamp or dual-function rectifier/Zener in simple protection schemes |
Pinout & Package
Hermetically sealed axial-leaded SOD66 (DO-41) glass package with cathode indicated by a colored band. Leads are tinned copper-clad steel, suitable for wave or hand soldering.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4749A | 33 V ±5 %, 1 W Ptot, TO-204AA (DO-41) package, 50 Ω rdif, +0.06 mV/K TC | Lower power rating limits use in sustained 33 V/30 mA loads; higher rdif increases regulation error under load variation | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs thermal margin or when legacy footprint compatibility is required |
| BZX85C33 | 33 V ±5 %, 1.3 W Ptot, DO-41, 40 Ω rdif, +0.04 mV/K TC, but obsolete per NXP lifecycle notice | Superior regulation stiffness and tighter TC, yet no longer recommended for new designs due to discontinuation | Choose only for repair or continuity builds; not advised for production ramp or long-term supply assurance |
Compared with 1N4749A, BZV85-C33,133 offers 30 % higher surge power and lower thermal resistance; versus obsolete BZX85C33, it provides identical power rating but slightly higher differential resistance-making it the preferred choice for new industrial designs requiring active lifecycle support and Nexperia's extended manufacturing commitment.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current the BZV85-C33,133 can sustain at 33 V?
The device is not rated for continuous reverse current at 33 V; instead, it regulates by dissipating power as heat. At 33 V, the maximum continuous current is derived from Ptot = 1.3 W, yielding ~39 mA. Exceeding this risks thermal runaway unless heatsinking or derating per ambient temperature is applied.
Does the BZV85-C33,133 meet AEC-Q200 for automotive use?
No-BZV85-C33,133 is not AEC-Q200 qualified. It is intended for industrial and general-purpose applications. For automotive-grade Zener regulation, Nexperia offers the PZU series, which undergoes full AEC-Q200 stress testing and qualification.
How does the marking band correspond to pin 1 on the BZV85-C33,133?
The colored band on the glass body identifies the cathode terminal, which corresponds to pin 1 per Nexperia's official pinning diagram. When oriented with band leftmost, the left lead is cathode (pin 1), and the right lead is anode (pin 2).
Can BZV85-C33,133 be used in series or parallel configurations?
Series connection is permissible for higher voltage references, but parallel use is strongly discouraged due to mismatched Zener impedances causing current hogging. If parallel operation is unavoidable, individual ballast resistors must be added per diode to ensure current sharing.
