Product details
Overview
BZV85-C43,133 from Nexperia is a medium-power Zener voltage regulator diode in a hermetically sealed SOD66 (DO-41) glass package, rated for 43 V nominal working voltage with ±5 % tolerance, 1.3 W total power dissipation at 25 °C ambient, and 60 W non-repetitive peak reverse power handling. 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-C43,133 datasheet, BZV85-C43,133 pinout, BZV85-C43,133 application, or BZV85-C43,133 equivalent, this part is selected for stable DC voltage stabilization where thermal resistance to tie-point (110 K/W), differential resistance (75 Ω), and temperature coefficient (+34 mV/K) are critical to circuit accuracy under varying load and ambient conditions.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with a specified test current of 6 mA, delivering a tightly controlled 43 V regulation point. Its junction temperature can reach up to 200 °C, and it exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +34 mV/K above 7.5 V, ensuring predictable drift behavior in temperature-sensitive designs.
The device uses axial-leaded, hermetically sealed glass construction for long-term reliability in humid or corrosive environments. Thermal performance is defined with two mounting conditions: 1.3 W rating when leads are held at 55 °C at 4 mm from body, and 1 W when mounted on PCB with 1 cm² copper per lead.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Nominal Zener Voltage | 43 V (40.0 V to 46.0 V range at 6 mA test current; defines regulation setpoint) |
| Tolerance | ±5 % (E24 series grading; enables predictable binning for production calibration) |
| Power Dissipation | 1.3 W max (derated above 25 °C ambient; supports compact heatsinking via lead conduction) |
| Differential Resistance | 75 Ω max (low dynamic impedance ensures minimal output voltage variation under load changes) |
| Temperature Coefficient | +34 mV/K (positive drift rate allows compensation design in multi-diode references) |
| Reverse Current @ 30 V | ≤0.05 µA (ultra-low leakage preserves regulation integrity in high-impedance bias networks) |

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 | 43 V nominal, ±5 %, 1 W power rating, DO-41 package, higher rdif (80 Ω) | Limited to lower-power designs; unsuitable for >1.1 W continuous dissipation | Select when board space matches but thermal budget is constrained to ≤1 W |
| BZX85C43 | 43 V nominal, ±5 %, 1.3 W rating, same SOD66 package, higher leakage (≤1 µA @ 30 V) | Higher IR reduces accuracy in high-impedance bias networks | Prefer for cost-sensitive consumer applications where leakage <0.1 µA is not required |
Compared with 1N4749A and BZX85C43, BZV85-C43,133 offers superior thermal resistance (110 K/W vs. ≥130 K/W), tighter leakage control (≤0.05 µA), and identical 1.3 W rating - making it optimal for industrial-grade voltage references demanding long-term stability and low drift.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current for BZV85-C43,133?
The absolute maximum forward current is 500 mA per IEC 60134 limiting values. However, sustained forward conduction is not intended in Zener regulator applications; the device is designed for reverse-bias operation. Forward voltage is specified at 50 mA (≤1 V), and exceeding 100 mA continuously risks thermal runaway due to low thermal resistance to ambient (175 K/W).
How does the temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy at elevated ambient temperatures?
With a +34 mV/K coefficient, the Zener voltage increases by ~3.4 V over a 100 K rise (e.g., from 25 °C to 125 °C). At 43 V nominal, this yields ~7.9 % drift - mitigated in practice by using the diode in constant-current bias or pairing with complementary-coefficient components. Data sheet Table 8 confirms this value is measured at test current (6 mA) and remains stable above 7.5 V.
Can BZV85-C43,133 be used in parallel for higher power handling?
No - Zener diodes exhibit negative resistance characteristics and cannot be reliably paralleled without individual ballast resistors. Even with matched units, minor VZ tolerances cause current hogging. For >1.3 W needs, use a single higher-rated device (e.g., BZT03-C43) or switch to active regulation with a pass transistor and reference IC.
What is the significance of the "133" suffix in BZV85-C43,133?
The "133" denotes the specific ordering variant per Nexperia's packaging and reel configuration: it indicates tape-and-reel packaging with 3,000 units per reel, RoHS-compliant plating, and compliance with JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 (unlimited floor life). This suffix does not affect electrical parameters or package dimensions.
