Product details
Overview
BZX79-B30,143 from Nexperia is a ±2% tolerance Zener voltage regulator diode with nominal working voltage 30 V at 2 mA test current, 70 Ω typical differential resistance, and −20.6 mV/K temperature coefficient. It operates in low-power stabilization circuits requiring precise reference voltages, such as power supply feedback loops and sensor biasing networks.
For engineers reviewing the BZX79-B30,143 datasheet, BZX79-B30,143 pinout, BZX79-B30,143 application, or BZX79-B30,143 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, dynamic impedance, temperature coefficient, reverse leakage at specified VR, and non-repetitive surge capability for transient protection integration.
Technical Context
This device functions as a two-terminal voltage reference operating in reverse breakdown mode. Its Zener voltage is stabilized by avalanche mechanism above ~6 V, confirmed by its positive temperature coefficient (+20.6 mV/K) and 70 Ω typical differential resistance at IZ = 2 mA.
Designed for DC voltage regulation in space-constrained applications, it delivers stable 30 V reference under 500 mW total power dissipation (Tamb = 50 °C, lead length ≤8 mm), with non-repetitive peak reverse power handling up to 40 W for 100 μs pulses.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 29.4 V to 30.6 V at IZ = 2 mA - ensures tight 30 V reference with ±2% initial accuracy for precision feedback paths |
| Differential Resistance rdiff | 70 Ω typical at IZ = 2 mA - defines output impedance affecting load regulation error in shunt regulator designs |
| Temperature Coefficient SZ | +20.6 mV/K at IZ = 2 mA - quantifies voltage drift per degree Celsius, critical for thermal stability in unregulated environments |
| Reverse Current IR | 100 nA max at VR = 8 V - determines quiescent power loss and noise contribution in high-impedance reference nodes |
| Total Power Dissipation Ptot | 500 mW at Tamb = 50 °C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling without heatsinking on standard PCB |
| Non-repetitive Peak Power PZSM | 40 W for tp = 100 μs - enables limited transient overvoltage clamping in low-energy surge scenarios |
Pinout & Package
Hermetically sealed glass axial-leaded SOD27 (DO-35) package with cathode indicated by a band. Device has two terminals: anode and cathode - no internal circuitry or control logic.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / Reference ground node | Connected to system ground or lower-potential rail; establishes reference point for Zener operation |
| Cathode | Reverse breakdown terminal / Voltage regulation node | Connected to regulated voltage node; maintains 30 V relative to anode when reverse biased above knee voltage |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ±2% Zener voltage tolerance | Enables direct replacement in precision reference designs without recalibration or resistor trimming |
| Low differential resistance (70 Ω typ.) | Minimizes output voltage variation under changing load current, improving regulation linearity |
| Hermetic glass SOD27 package | Provides long-term reliability and moisture resistance in industrial ambient conditions |
| 40 W non-repetitive surge rating | Allows incidental use in low-duty-cycle overvoltage suppression without external TVS devices |
Applications

|---|---|
Use Scenario: Providing stable 30 V reference for optocoupler-based feedback in isolated AC/DC flyback converters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Shunt voltage reference establishing error amplifier input threshold. Use Value: Tight ±2% tolerance and low 70 Ω dynamic impedance ensure <±1% output voltage regulation across line/load variations. | Use Scenario: Biasing a high-impedance pressure transducer bridge requiring stable excitation voltage.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4749A | 30 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, 80 Ω typical rdiff, +25 mV/K SZ | Higher voltage drift and looser tolerance reduce accuracy in precision feedback loops | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs regulation accuracy requirements |
| BZX84-C30 | 30 V nominal, ±5%, SOT-23 surface-mount, 150 mW Ptot, 80 Ω rdiff | Lower power rating and different package limit use in through-hole legacy designs or higher-power circuits | Select for space-constrained PCB layouts where reflow compatibility is required |
Compared with BZX79-B30,143, the 1N4749A trades tighter voltage control for broader availability and lower cost, while the BZX84-C30 sacrifices power handling and thermal robustness for miniaturization-making the BZX79-B30,143 optimal for through-hole, medium-power, precision-stable references.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation for BZX79-B30,143 at 70 °C ambient?
At 70 °C ambient, the device exceeds its rated 500 mW dissipation limit due to thermal derating. With Rth j-a = 380 K/W, junction temperature would exceed 200 °C. Derated power is approximately 260 mW using linear derating from 500 mW at 50 °C, confirming mandatory use below 50 °C ambient or with PCB copper area enhancement.
Does BZX79-B30,143 support bidirectional transient suppression?
No. As a Zener diode, it conducts only in reverse breakdown (cathode positive relative to anode). Forward conduction occurs at ~0.9 V, offering negligible clamping in forward polarity. For bidirectional protection, a back-to-back Zener pair or dedicated TVS array is required.
Can BZX79-B30,143 be used in place of BZX79-C30?
Yes, but with trade-offs: BZX79-B30,143 offers ±2% tolerance versus ±5% for the 'C' version, delivering tighter regulation. However, its tighter tolerance may increase cost and reduce availability in high-volume commodity applications where ±5% suffices.
What is the cathode marking convention on the SOD27 package?
The cathode is marked by a distinct color band (typically black or dark stripe) located near one end of the glass body. When oriented with the band on the left, the right-hand lead is the anode and the left-hand lead is the cathode-consistent with industry-standard DO-35 polarity identification.
