Product details
Overview
BZV85-C5V6,133 from Nexperia is a medium-power axial-leaded Zener diode in a hermetically sealed SOD66 (DO-41) glass package, rated for 5.6 V nominal stabilization voltage with ±5 % tolerance, 1.3 W total power dissipation at Ttp = 55 °C, and 60 W non-repetitive peak reverse power handling. It serves as a precision voltage reference or shunt regulator in low-to-medium current linear power supplies and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZV85-C5V6,133 datasheet, BZV85-C5V6,133 pinout, BZV85-C5V6,133 application, or BZV85-C5V6,133 equivalent, this part supports stable DC biasing, analog signal clamping, and voltage monitoring where ±5 % regulation accuracy, 7 mV/K temperature coefficient, and 2 Ω typical differential resistance are critical selection criteria.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with a nominal working voltage of 5.6 V at test current Itest = 2 mA. Its differential resistance is 7 Ω max at Itest, and temperature coefficient is 0 to +2.7 mV/K - indicating positive drift optimized for mid-range stabilization applications.
Thermal performance is defined by Rth(j-t) = 110 K/W (junction-to-tie-point, 4 mm lead length) and Rth(j-a) = 175 K/W (junction-to-ambient, 10 mm leads), enabling reliable operation up to 200 °C junction temperature under pulsed conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Nominal Zener Voltage | 5.6 V (min 5.2 V, max 6.0 V at Itest = 2 mA - defines stable regulation point) |
| Tolerance | ±5 % (E24 series compliance - enables predictable binning and interchangeability) |
| Differential Resistance | 7 Ω max at Itest = 2 mA (low impedance ensures minimal output voltage shift under load variation) |
| Temperature Coefficient | 0 to +2.7 mV/K (positive drift improves stability across 25–150 °C ambient range) |
| Total Power Dissipation | 1.3 W (at Ttp = 55 °C, 4 mm from body - sets thermal derating baseline for PCB layout) |
| Non-repetitive Peak Power | 60 W (100 µs square wave - supports transient surge suppression without failure) |
| Forward Voltage | 1 V max at IF = 50 mA (enables use as bidirectional clamp when combined with series diode) |
Pinout & Package
Hermetically sealed axial-leaded SOD66 (DO-41) glass package with cathode indicated by a colored band; leads are tinned copper, suitable for through-hole soldering and manual assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (banded end) | Cathode | Connected to regulated output node; reverse-biased during Zener operation |
| 2 (non-banded end) | Anode | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; completes current path during regulation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hermetic glass sealing | Prevents moisture ingress and long-term parameter drift in humid industrial environments |
| E24 voltage grading | Ensures consistent 5.6 V nominal value across production lots with traceable ±5 % tolerance |
| Low thermal resistance | Rth(j-t) = 110 K/W enables effective heat transfer to PCB copper when mounted with 1 cm² per lead |
| Controlled temperature coefficient | +2.7 mV/K max minimizes regulation error over temperature in unheated enclosures |
| Pulsed surge capability | 60 W non-repetitive peak power allows integration into input-stage transient suppressors without external TVS |
Applications
| Power Supply Reference | Signal Level Clamping |
|---|---|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Stable voltage source defining emitter-base or gate-source potential in constant-current topologies. Use Value: +2.7 mV/K tempco compensates for semiconductor VBE drift, improving current stability over −40 to +85 °C. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4734A | 5.6 V, ±5 %, 1 W Ptot, DO-41, but higher rdiff (10 Ω max) and wider tempco (−2 to +6 mV/K) | Limited thermal margin in high-ambient designs; less stable over temperature | Acceptable where board space is constrained and thermal derating is applied |
| BZX79-C5V6 | 5.6 V, ±5 %, 0.5 W Ptot, same SOD66 package but lower power rating and higher rdiff (10 Ω) | Not suitable for >250 mA continuous regulation; requires tighter thermal design | Preferred only for ultra-low-power biasing where 1.3 W headroom is unnecessary |
Compared with 1N4734A and BZX79-C5V6, BZV85-C5V6,133 delivers superior thermal robustness (1.3 W vs. 1 W/0.5 W), tighter dynamic impedance (7 Ω vs. 10 Ω), and more predictable temperature behavior - making it optimal for industrial power rails requiring long-term regulation stability.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current for BZV85-C5V6,133 at 25 °C?
The device supports up to 230 mA continuous reverse current at 25 °C ambient when mounted on a PCB with 1 cm² copper area per lead and maintained at Ttp = 55 °C, calculated from its 1.3 W power rating and 5.6 V Zener voltage (IZ = Ptot/VZ ≈ 232 mA). Derating is required above 55 °C tie-point temperature.
Can BZV85-C5V6,133 be used in surface-mount designs?
No - BZV85-C5V6,133 uses an axial-leaded SOD66 (DO-41) glass package intended exclusively for through-hole mounting. It lacks SMD-compatible terminations or thermal pad structures. For SMT equivalents, consider Nexperia's BZX384-B5V6 (SOD-323) or PZM5.6NB (SOT-23), which differ in power rating and thermal performance.
How does the temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy over −40 °C to +125 °C?
With a specified temperature coefficient of 0 to +2.7 mV/K, the Zener voltage increases by up to 420 mV across this 150 K range (ΔVZ = 2.7 mV/K × 150 K), resulting in a worst-case regulation shift from 5.6 V to ~6.02 V. This is acceptable for non-critical biasing but requires compensation in precision references.
Is the cathode marking band polarity consistent across all BZV85 series variants?
Yes - all BZV85 series diodes, including BZV85-C5V6,133, use a single color band (typically black or dark gray) on the cathode end of the glass body. This marking aligns with JEDEC DO-41 standards and is verified in Nexperia's package outline documentation (sod066_po, Issue date 09-10-09).
