Product details
Overview
BZX284-B43,115 from NXP Semiconductors is a ±2% tolerance Zener voltage regulator diode in a SOD110 ceramic SMD package, rated for 43 V nominal working voltage at 2 mA test current, 400 mW total power dissipation, and 315 K/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance-designed for precision low-power voltage reference and regulation in space-constrained consumer and industrial PCBs.
For engineers reviewing the BZX284-B43,115 datasheet, BZX284-B43,115 pinout, BZX284-B43,115 application, or BZX284-B43,115 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical characteristics (VZ = 42.1–43.9 V), differential resistance (45 Ω typ. at 2 mA), temperature coefficient (+30 mV/K typ.), reverse leakage (50 nA at 0.7×VZ), and SOD110 mechanical dimensions to support schematic validation, thermal design, and layout compatibility checks.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal silicon Zener diode with controlled reverse breakdown behavior. Its regulation function relies on avalanche-dominated breakdown above 6 V, confirmed by its positive temperature coefficient (+30 mV/K) and low dynamic impedance (45 Ω typical at IZ = 2 mA).
The SOD110 package enables surface-mount integration with minimal footprint (2.1 × 1.4 × 1.6 mm) and defined thermal path to PCB copper. It is specified for operation up to 150 °C junction temperature and storage between −65 °C and +150 °C, with non-repetitive surge capability of 0.6 A for 100 μs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VZ (nominal) | 43 V - precise DC reference voltage at IZ = 2 mA, ±2% tolerance ensures tight regulation in feedback loops. |
| Ptot | 400 mW - maximum continuous power dissipation at Tamb = 25 °C; derates linearly above ambient per Rth j-a = 315 K/W. |
| rdif | 45 Ω (typ.) - low dynamic impedance at IZ = 2 mA, minimizing output voltage variation under load changes. |
| SZ | +30 mV/K (typ.) - predictable positive temperature coefficient enabling stable biasing across operating temperature range. |
| IR | 50 nA at VR = 0.7×VZ - ultra-low reverse leakage preserves accuracy in high-impedance reference circuits. |
| Cd | 56 pF at f = 1 MHz, VR = 0 V - parasitic capacitance impacts high-frequency noise rejection and transient response. |
| IZSM | 0.6 A - non-repetitive peak reverse surge current rating for ESD/overvoltage event handling (100 μs pulse). |
Pinout & Package
Two-terminal SOD110 ceramic surface-mount package: anode (pin 1) and cathode (pin 2), with cathode identified by a visible mark on top surface. Mounting requires standard reflow profile compatible with Pb-free soldering.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (1) | Forward current entry / reverse voltage reference ground node | Connected to circuit ground or lower-potential rail; defines polarity for Zener operation in reverse bias. |
| Cathode (2) | Reverse-biased terminal / regulated output node | Connected to input supply; reverse voltage applied here establishes 43 V reference at anode relative to cathode. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ±2% VZ tolerance | Enables accurate voltage setting without post-manufacture trimming in precision analog circuits. |
| 400 mW power rating | Supports stable regulation in low-current applications (≤9.3 mA at 43 V) without external heat sinking. |
| SOD110 ceramic package | Provides hermetic sealing and stable parametric performance across humidity and thermal cycling. |
| +30 mV/K tempco | Compensates for negative tempcos of other components (e.g., transistors) in bias networks. |
| 50 nA max reverse leakage | Minimizes error current in high-impedance voltage divider or op-amp reference inputs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STMicroelectronics BZT52-B43 | Same SOD123 package (larger than SOD110); 43 V ±2%, 500 mW rating; rdif = 70 Ω (higher impedance). | Requires PCB pad revision due to larger footprint; higher power allows marginally higher current but less board density. | Select when higher surge robustness or legacy SOD123 layout reuse is prioritized over miniaturization. |
| Vishay PLZ43 | SOD123 package; 43 V ±5%, 500 mW; rdif = 90 Ω; tempco unspecified in datasheet. | Lacks tight tolerance and documented tempco-unsuitable for precision references but acceptable for coarse clamping. | Choose only for cost-sensitive, non-critical overvoltage protection where ±5% VZ is acceptable. |
Compared with BZX284-B43,115, BZT52-B43 offers higher power but sacrifices board space and low-impedance regulation, while PLZ43 trades tolerance and tempco control for cost-making the NXP part optimal for compact, precision-regulated designs.

FAQ
What is the nominal Zener voltage and tolerance of BZX284-B43,115?
The BZX284-B43,115 has a nominal Zener voltage of 43 V with a ±2% tolerance, measured at a test current of 2 mA. This means its actual breakdown voltage falls within 42.1 V to 43.9 V under standard conditions, making it suitable for precision reference applications where tight voltage control is required. The BZX284-B43,115 achieves this specification using NXP's optimized silicon process and ceramic SOD110 packaging.
What is the maximum power dissipation rating for BZX284-B43,115?
The BZX284-B43,115 is rated for a maximum total power dissipation of 400 mW at an ambient temperature of 25 °C. This rating assumes mounting on a standard PCB (11 × 25 × 1.6 mm) and derates linearly with increasing ambient temperature based on a thermal resistance of 315 K/W. Exceeding this limit risks thermal runaway or permanent parameter shift. The BZX284-B43,115 must be used within this boundary to maintain long-term reliability and regulation accuracy.
Does BZX284-B43,115 have a specified temperature coefficient, and what does it mean for circuit design?
Yes, the BZX284-B43,115 has a typical temperature coefficient of +30 mV/K at IZ = 2 mA. This positive value indicates that its Zener voltage increases predictably with rising junction temperature-enabling compensation in bias networks where other components exhibit negative tempcos. For example, pairing the BZX284-B43,115 with a resistor having a matched negative tempco yields highly stable current sources. This behavior is confirmed in Figure 4 of the official NXP datasheet for the BZX284-B43,115.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for BZX284-B43,115, and under what condition is it measured?
The reverse leakage current (IR) for BZX284-B43,115 is specified as a maximum of 50 nA, measured at a reverse voltage of 0.7 × VZ (i.e., ~30.1 V). This ultra-low leakage ensures minimal error current in high-impedance reference paths, such as op-amp feedback dividers or precision ADC references. The BZX284-B43,115 maintains this performance across its full operating temperature range, supporting accuracy-critical analog signal chains.
What package type does BZX284-B43,115 use, and what are its key mechanical dimensions?
The BZX284-B43,115 uses the SOD110 very small ceramic surface-mount package, measuring 2.10 mm × 1.40 mm × 1.60 mm (L × W × H) with a cathode identification mark on the top surface. Its compact size supports high-density PCB layouts, and the ceramic body provides hermeticity and thermal stability superior to plastic-packaged alternatives. The BZX284-B43,115 is compatible with standard reflow soldering profiles, including Pb-free processes, as defined in the NXP package outline document.
