Product details
Overview
BZV90-C10,115 from Nexperia is a medium-power Zener voltage regulator diode in SOT223 package, designed for precision DC voltage reference and stabilization in power supply rails. It delivers a nominal 10 V regulation at 5 mA test current, with ±5% tolerance, 7.0 Ω typical differential resistance, and −65 °C to +150 °C operating junction temperature range. Used in industrial power monitoring circuits requiring stable 10 V reference under variable load.
For engineers reviewing the BZV90-C10,115 datasheet, BZV90-C10,115 pinout, BZV90-C10,115 application, or BZV90-C10,115 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 10 V nominal Zener voltage, 1.5 W continuous power dissipation, SOT223 thermal performance (Rth j-a = 83.3 K/W), low 0.2 μA reverse leakage at 7.6 V, and non-repetitive 40 W surge capability.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable output voltage across varying current loads. Its temperature coefficient of −6.0 mV/K at IZ = 5 mA ensures predictable drift behavior in ambient-temperature-varying environments.
The device uses silicon planar epitaxial construction with optimized doping profile to achieve tight 10 V regulation (9.4–10.6 V min/max), low dynamic impedance (≤20 Ω), and fast transient response during line/load regulation events in linear regulator feedback paths.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Nominal Zener Voltage (VZ) | 10 V at IZtest = 5 mA - defines primary regulation point for feedback networks |
| Tolerance | ±5% (9.4–10.6 V) - enables predictable voltage margining in safety-critical supplies |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | 7.0 Ω typ. at 5 mA - determines load regulation error (ΔVout ≈ ΔIZ × rdif) |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 1500 mW at Tamb = 25 °C on 2 cm² FR4 PCB - sets maximum steady-state current limit (~150 mA at 10 V) |
| Non-repetitive Peak Power (PZSM) | 40 W for 100 μs - supports surge immunity in input-stage protection circuits |
| Reverse Leakage Current (IR) | 0.2 μA max. at VR = 7.6 V - minimizes standby power loss in high-impedance bias networks |
| Junction Temperature Range (Tj) | −65 °C to +150 °C - qualifies for extended-temperature industrial and automotive under-hood use |
Pinout & Package
SOT223 plastic surface-mount package with integrated collector pad for enhanced thermal conduction; 4-lead configuration with anode-cathode-anode-cathode layout.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode | Primary anode connection; ties to ground or low-side reference node in shunt regulator topology |
| 2 | Cathode | Main cathode terminal; connects to regulated rail or error amplifier input in feedback loop |
| 3 | Anode | Secondary anode tied internally to lead 1; improves mechanical stability and thermal path symmetry |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C10 | Same 10 V nominal, but SOT23 package; Ptot = 300 mW; rdif = 20 Ω typ. | Limited to low-power bias networks; unsuitable for >30 mA continuous current or surge clamping. | Select when board space is constrained and power demand is <100 mW. |
| MMSZ5240B | 10 V Zener in SOD-123; Ptot = 500 mW; rdif = 17 Ω; Tj max = 150 °C. | Lower thermal mass limits surge handling; requires larger copper area for equivalent 1.5 W operation. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs thermal performance and surge margin requirements. |
Compared with BZX84-C10 and MMSZ5240B, the BZV90-C10,115 offers 5× higher continuous power and superior surge resilience due to its SOT223 thermal design-critical for industrial power rails where sustained 100+ mA regulation and transient immunity are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current the BZV90-C10,115 can sustain at 25 °C ambient?
The device supports up to 150 mA continuous reverse current at 25 °C ambient on a 2 cm² FR4 PCB, derived from its 1500 mW total power dissipation rating and 10 V Zener voltage (IZmax = Ptot/VZ). Derating applies above 25 °C per the 83.3 K/W thermal resistance.
Does the BZV90-C10,115 have a specified forward voltage drop?
Yes-forward voltage is specified as ≤1.0 V at 50 mA forward current (VF), measured at 25 °C junction temperature. This value reflects the diode's anode-to-cathode conduction characteristic when used in forward-biased protection or indicator roles.
Can the BZV90-C10,115 be used in parallel for higher current handling?
No-parallel operation is not recommended due to mismatched Zener voltage tolerances (±5%) and temperature coefficients, which cause current hogging and thermal runaway. For higher current, use a single higher-power device or active regulation instead.
Is the SOT223 package lead-free and RoHS compliant?
Yes-the BZV90-C10,115 is manufactured in a lead-free, RoHS-compliant SOT223 package per Nexperia's standard qualification. The device meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 and is rated for reflow soldering up to 260 °C peak temperature.
