Product details
Overview
BZX284-B4V3,115 from NXP Semiconductors is a ±2% tolerance, 4.3 V Zener voltage regulator diode in a SOD110 ceramic SMD package, rated for 400 mW total power dissipation at 25 °C ambient, with 410 Ω typical differential resistance at 5 mA test current and −2.5 mV/K temperature coefficient - used for precision low-power voltage reference and overvoltage clamping in sensor signal conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZX284-B4V3,115 datasheet, BZX284-B4V3,115 pinout, BZX284-B4V3,115 application, or BZX284-B4V3,115 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal behavior, SOD110 package dimensions, reverse leakage limits at 1 V, and validated alternative parts for stable supply chain selection.
Technical Context
The BZX284-B4V3,115 operates as a two-terminal silicon Zener diode optimized for stable reverse-bias breakdown regulation. Its 4.3 V nominal Zener voltage is specified at 5 mA test current (IZtest), with tight ±2% tolerance and low 3 μA maximum reverse current at VR = 1 V.
Thermal resistance from junction to ambient is 315 K/W when mounted on a standard 11 × 25 × 1.6 mm PCB, and its −2.5 mV/K temperature coefficient ensures predictable drift across 25–150 °C operating range - critical for analog front-end biasing where thermal stability affects measurement accuracy.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 4.21–4.39 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines precise regulation point for low-voltage reference rails |
| Tolerance | ±2% - enables tighter system-level voltage margin control vs. ±5% variants |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | 410 Ω typ. at IZ = 5 mA - determines output impedance and load regulation sensitivity |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤3 μA at VR = 1 V - ensures minimal standby power loss in always-on monitoring circuits |
| Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 400 mW max. at Tamb = 25 °C - sets thermal derating limit for PCB layout and ambient temperature design |
| Temperature Coefficient (SZ) | −2.5 mV/K at IZ = 5 mA - quantifies voltage drift per degree, enabling compensation in precision analog designs |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 150 °C max. - constrains maximum allowable power under elevated ambient conditions |
Pinout & Package
SOD110 is a very small ceramic surface-mount package with two terminals: anode (pin 1) and cathode (pin 2), marked by a cathode band on the top surface. Dimensions: 2.10 × 1.40 × 1.60 mm (L × W × H), with 0.1 mm maximum cathode identifier height.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Pin 1) | Forward current entry / reverse bias return path | Connected to lower-potential node in Zener clamp configuration; must handle up to 250 mA continuous forward current |
| Cathode (Pin 2) | Zener breakdown terminal / regulated output node | Provides stable 4.3 V reference when reverse biased; polarity marking critical for correct PCB orientation |
Key Features

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-B4V3 | Same SOD123 package (2.7 × 1.6 × 1.1 mm), identical 4.3 V ±2%, but higher 500 mW Ptot and 550 Ω rdif | Higher power handling suits higher-energy transient clamping; larger footprint may require PCB redesign | Select when board space allows larger SOD123 and thermal margin exceeds 400 mW |
| Vishay PLZ4.3B | SOD123 package, same 4.3 V ±2%, but lower 300 mW Ptot and 380 Ω rdif; 100 nA IR at VR = 1 V | Lower leakage supports ultra-low-power battery-operated devices; reduced power rating limits surge capability | Prefer for energy-harvesting sensor nodes where sub-μA standby current is critical |
Compared with BZX284-B4V3,115, the BZT52-B4V3 offers higher surge robustness at the cost of larger footprint, while the PLZ4.3B trades power capacity for ultra-low leakage - making each suitable for distinct thermal, space, and power budget constraints.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of BZX284-B4V3,115?
The BZX284-B4V3,115 has a ±2% Zener voltage tolerance, meaning its nominal 4.3 V breakdown occurs between 4.21 V and 4.39 V at 5 mA test current. This tighter tolerance than the ±5% BZX284-C series supports higher-accuracy voltage referencing in analog signal chains where BZX284-B4V3,115 is deployed.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for BZX284-B4V3,115 at 1 V?
The BZX284-B4V3,115 exhibits a maximum reverse current (IR) of 3 μA at VR = 1 V, as specified in the NXP datasheet Table 1. This low leakage ensures minimal parasitic loading in high-impedance reference or bias networks, preserving accuracy in applications like BZX284-B4V3,115-based sensor excitation circuits.
Can BZX284-B4V3,115 be used in place of a 3.3 V Zener diode?
No - the BZX284-B4V3,115 is specifically rated for 4.3 V nominal Zener voltage and is not interchangeable with 3.3 V devices. Substituting it for a 3.3 V Zener would result in incorrect regulation level and potential circuit malfunction; always verify voltage match before replacement, especially for BZX284-B4V3,115 in precision reference roles.
What is the thermal resistance of BZX284-B4V3,115 and how does it affect design?
The BZX284-B4V3,115 has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (Rth j-a) of 315 K/W when mounted on a standard 11 × 25 × 1.6 mm PCB. This value directly determines temperature rise: at 200 mW dissipation, junction temperature rises ~63 °C above ambient - a key constraint for BZX284-B4V3,115 use in enclosed or high-temperature environments.
Is BZX284-B4V3,115 RoHS compliant and halogen-free?
Yes - the BZX284-B4V3,115 is manufactured by NXP Semiconductors to meet RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU requirements and is halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. This compliance is confirmed in NXP's official product change notices and material declarations applicable to the SOD110 package variant of BZX284-B4V3,115.
