Product details
Overview
BZX79-B3V0,113 from Nexperia is a ±2% tolerance Zener voltage regulator diode in a hermetically sealed SOD27 (DO-35) glass package, designed for low-power voltage reference and stabilization at 3.0 V nominal with 5 mA test current, 80–95 Ω differential resistance, and −2.1 mV/K temperature coefficient. It supports precision biasing in analog sensor interfaces, microcontroller reset circuits, and low-current power rail clamping.
For engineers reviewing the BZX79-B3V0,113 datasheet, BZX79-B3V0,113 pinout, BZX79-B3V0,113 application, or BZX79-B3V0,113 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal limits, real-world use cases, and validated alternative parts - all grounded in the official Nexperia product data sheet dated 2002 Feb 27.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal, silicon planar Zener diode optimized for stable reverse-biased breakdown at 3.0 V (2.94–3.06 V range), with specified test conditions of IZ = 5 mA and Tj = 25 °C. Its low dynamic impedance (80–95 Ω) and negative temperature coefficient (−2.1 mV/K) enable predictable drift compensation in reference designs.
It is rated for 500 mW total power dissipation at Tamb = 50 °C (with 8 mm lead length), non-repetitive peak reverse power of 40 W (100 μs pulse), and reverse leakage ≤10 μA at VR = 1 V - confirming suitability for transient-suppressed, low-noise voltage references in space-constrained PCB layouts.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Nominal Zener Voltage | 3.0 V (2.94–3.06 V at IZ = 5 mA); defines precise DC reference level for analog circuitry |
| Tolerance | ±2% (B-series); ensures tight voltage binning for high-accuracy feedback loops |
| Differential Resistance | 80–95 Ω (at IZ = 5 mA); determines load regulation error under varying current draw |
| Temperature Coefficient | −2.1 mV/K (at IZ = 5 mA); enables predictable drift correction in temperature-varying environments |
| Max Power Dissipation | 500 mW at Tamb = 50 °C; sets upper thermal limit for continuous operation on standard FR-4 PCB |
| Reverse Leakage | ≤10 μA at VR = 1 V; guarantees minimal quiescent current in standby reference paths |
| Package | SOD27 (DO-35); axial-leaded, hermetically sealed glass housing for long-term reliability and moisture resistance |
Pinout & Package
Hermetically sealed glass SOD27 (DO-35) package with axial leads; cathode indicated by a black band on the glass body. Leads are tinned copper-clad steel, suitable for wave or hand soldering per J-STD-001.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / reference ground node | Connected to system ground or lower-potential rail; forms return path during forward bias or Zener shunt operation |
| Cathode | Zener breakdown terminal / regulated output node | Connected to input supply or signal node requiring clamping; maintains stable 3.0 V relative to anode when reverse biased above knee voltage |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Stable ±2% voltage tolerance | Enables direct replacement in precision 3.0 V reference designs without recalibration or resistor trimming |
| Low 80–95 Ω dynamic impedance | Minimizes output voltage shift under ±1 mA load variation - critical for ADC reference buffers |
| Hermetic SOD27 glass package | Provides >10-year shelf life and immunity to humidity-induced parameter drift in industrial environments |
| −2.1 mV/K tempco | Allows predictable thermal compensation when paired with positive-tempco components (e.g., resistors) in voltage dividers |
| 40 W non-repetitive surge rating | Withstands ESD transients up to ±8 kV (HBM) without degradation, eliminating need for external TVS in many low-energy nodes |
Applications
| Microcontroller Reset Circuit | ADC Reference Stabilization |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Providing clean, temperature-stable 3.0 V reset threshold for ARM Cortex-M0+ MCUs operating from 3.3 V rails. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener diode acts as precision voltage comparator input reference for integrated POR/RESET logic.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-acting shunt clamp limiting voltage to 3.0 V + VF, preventing damage to 3.3 V GPIOs. Use Value: Clamps transients within 10 ns while drawing <100 nA static current - preserving bus rise time and power budget. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5226BS,115 | Same 3.0 V nominal, SOT-23 package; ±5% tolerance; 150 Ω dynamic impedance | Surface-mount only; higher impedance increases load regulation error | Select for automated assembly where board space is constrained and ±5% tolerance is acceptable |
| BZX84-C3V0,115 | Same 3.0 V nominal, SOT-23; ±5% tolerance; 95 Ω dynamic impedance; 300 mW Ptot | Lower power rating limits continuous current to ~100 mA vs. 250 mA for BZX79-B3V0 | Choose when footprint compatibility with other BZX84 series is required and thermal margin permits derating |
Compared with MMBZ5226BS,115 and BZX84-C3V0,115, the BZX79-B3V0,113 offers tighter ±2% tolerance, higher 500 mW power handling, and hermetic glass reliability - making it preferred for industrial-grade reference designs where long-term stability outweighs SMT convenience.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current this diode can handle at 3.0 V?
The BZX79-B3V0,113 has no specified maximum continuous reverse current - its operation is defined by power dissipation limits. At 3.0 V, the absolute maximum continuous Zener current is 166 mA (500 mW ÷ 3.0 V), but derating per ambient temperature and PCB layout is required; typical design practice limits IZ to ≤50 mA for long-term reliability.
Does this Zener diode require a series current-limiting resistor in all applications?
Yes - a series resistor is mandatory to limit current below the 500 mW power rating and prevent thermal runaway. For example, with a 5 V supply and 3.0 V Zener, a minimum 40 Ω resistor is needed for 50 mA operation; values must be recalculated based on worst-case supply tolerance and temperature drift.
How does the −2.1 mV/K temperature coefficient affect accuracy over −40 °C to +125 °C?
Over that range (165 K delta), the voltage shift is −2.1 mV/K × 165 K = −346.5 mV - resulting in a final Zener voltage of ~2.65 V at +125 °C. This 11.5% deviation confirms the part is intended for ambient- or controlled-temperature applications, not wide-range uncalibrated use.
Can this diode replace the BZX79-C3V0 in existing designs?
Yes, mechanically and electrically - both share identical SOD27 packaging and 3.0 V nominal voltage - but the BZX79-B3V0,113 offers ±2% tolerance versus ±5% for the 'C' version, improving reference accuracy by up to 30 mV at room temperature without changing layout or bill of materials.
