Product details
Overview
BZX79-B3V9,113 from Nexperia is a ±2% tolerance Zener voltage regulator diode in a hermetically sealed SOD27 (DO-35) glass package, rated for 3.9 V nominal Zener voltage at 5 mA test current, 400–500 mW total power dissipation, and 3 μA maximum reverse leakage at 1 V. It serves as a low-power voltage reference or stabilization element in linear power supplies, sensor biasing circuits, and overvoltage protection clamps.
For engineers reviewing the BZX79-B3V9,113 datasheet, BZX79-B3V9,113 pinout, BZX79-B3V9,113 application, or BZX79-B3V9,113 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal behavior, differential resistance (400–600 Ω), temperature coefficient (−3.5 to −2.5 mV/K), and real-world design implications for precision analog referencing and low-current regulation.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal, silicon planar Zener diode with avalanche-dominated breakdown above 5.6 V and Zener-dominated breakdown below - the BZX79-B3V9 exhibits Zener-type conduction with a negative temperature coefficient of −2.5 mV/K at 5 mA. Its 400–600 Ω differential resistance directly impacts output impedance in shunt-regulator configurations.
The SOD27 package enables axial mounting on PCBs without metallization pads, with thermal resistance from junction to ambient at 380 K/W (lead length ≤8 mm). Non-repetitive peak reverse power dissipation reaches 40 W for 100 μs pulses, supporting transient suppression in low-energy surge scenarios.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 3.82–3.98 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines stable reference point for ±2% tolerance designs |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | 400–600 Ω at IZ = 5 mA - determines load regulation error under varying current |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 3 μA max at VR = 1 V - limits quiescent current in high-impedance bias networks |
| Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 500 mW at Tamb = 50 °C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling in standard PCB layout |
| Temperature Coefficient (SZ) | −2.5 mV/K at IZ = 5 mA - quantifies drift per degree Celsius in precision reference applications |
| Capacitance (Cd) | 450 pF max at f = 1 MHz, VR = 0 V - affects high-frequency noise coupling and AC bypass performance |
| Non-repetitive Peak Power | 40 W for tp = 100 μs - supports short-duration transient clamping without failure |
Pinout & Package
Hermetically sealed axial-leaded SOD27 (DO-35) glass package with cathode band marking; leads are untrimmed, intended for through-hole mounting. Thermal design assumes lead length ≤8 mm and no copper pour under device body.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / low-side connection in shunt regulator | Connected to ground or lower potential node; carries forward current up to 250 mA |
| Cathode | Zener breakdown terminal / regulated output node | Connected to input supply via series resistor; maintains 3.9 V relative to anode under reverse bias |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ±2% Zener voltage tolerance | Enables tighter regulation than ±5% variants (e.g., BZX79-C3V9), reducing need for post-calibration in reference circuits |
| Hermetic glass SOD27 package | Ensures long-term stability and moisture resistance in industrial environments where plastic packages may degrade |
| Low 3 μA reverse leakage at 1 V | Minimizes standby current in battery-powered sensor references and low-power microcontroller reset circuits |
| Negative temperature coefficient (−2.5 mV/K) | Allows predictable, compensatable drift in temperature-sensitive analog front-ends when combined with positive-TC components |
Applications
| Industrial Sensor Biasing | Microcontroller Reset Circuit |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current for BZX79-B3V9,113?
The absolute maximum continuous forward current is 250 mA at Tamb = 50 °C. This rating assumes standard PCB mounting with untrimmed leads and no copper pour. Exceeding this value risks thermal runaway due to the device's 380 K/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance.
How does the temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy over temperature?
With a typical temperature coefficient of −2.5 mV/K at 5 mA, the Zener voltage decreases by approximately 2.5 mV per Kelvin rise. Over a 100 °C range (−40 to +60 °C), this yields ~250 mV drift - requiring compensation in high-accuracy references or limiting use to narrow ambient bands.
Can BZX79-B3V9,113 replace BZX79-C3V9 in existing designs?
Yes, but only if ±5% tolerance is acceptable. The BZX79-C3V9 has a wider 3.7–4.1 V range versus BZX79-B3V9's tighter 3.82–3.98 V. Differential resistance is similar, but leakage may differ slightly; verify stability under worst-case bias conditions before substitution.
Is the SOD27 package RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, Nexperia's SOD27-packaged BZX79-B3V9,113 is RoHS compliant and lead-free, meeting JEDEC J-STD-609 Category 1 requirements. The glass body and matte tin-plated leads ensure compatibility with standard reflow and wave soldering processes.
