Product details
Overview
BZX79-B43,143 from Nexperia is a ±2% tolerance Zener voltage regulator diode with nominal working voltage 43 V, 500 mW total power dissipation, and DO-35 (SOD27) hermetically sealed glass package. It operates as a low-power voltage reference in biasing, regulation, and overvoltage protection circuits for industrial power supplies and sensor signal conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the BZX79-B43,143 datasheet, BZX79-B43,143 pinout, BZX79-B43,143 application, or BZX79-B43,143 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±2%), differential resistance (85 Ω max at 2 mA), temperature coefficient (+45 mV/K typ), reverse current (50 nA max at 0.7×VZnom), and non-repetitive peak reverse power (40 W).
Technical Context
This device functions as a two-terminal silicon Zener diode operating in reverse breakdown to maintain stable DC voltage under varying load or input conditions. Its design centers on precise voltage regulation at IZtest = 2 mA, with thermal stability governed by a positive temperature coefficient of +45 mV/K (typical) above 6.2 V.
The BZX79-B43,143 uses axial-leaded SOD27 packaging with cathode band marking, optimized for through-hole mounting on PCBs without metallization pads. Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is 380 K/W, limiting continuous operation to 400 mW at Tamb = 50 °C per IEC 60134 absolute maximum ratings.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 42.1 V to 43.9 V at IZ = 2 mA - ensures tight regulation within ±2% tolerance for precision reference applications |
| Differential Resistance rdif | 85 Ω max at IZ = 2 mA - defines output impedance affecting load regulation error |
| Temperature Coefficient SZ | +45 mV/K typical at IZ = 2 mA - quantifies voltage drift with junction temperature rise |
| Reverse Current IR | 50 nA max at VR = 29.8 V (0.7×VZnom) - determines leakage-induced error in high-impedance bias networks |
| Non-repetitive Peak Power PZSM | 40 W at tp = 100 μs - supports transient overvoltage clamping without failure |
| Total Power Dissipation Ptot | 500 mW at Tamb = 50 °C - sets maximum steady-state power handling on standard PCB layout |
| Junction Temperature Range Tj | −65 °C to +200 °C - enables operation in extended industrial and automotive under-hood environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4749A | Same 43 V nominal Zener voltage but ±5% tolerance and higher differential resistance (100 Ω max) | Limited to non-critical regulation where cost outweighs precision | Select when ±5% tolerance and lower cost are acceptable trade-offs for general-purpose clamping |
| BZX84-C43 | SOT-23 surface-mount package; same ±5% tolerance; lower power rating (300 mW) | Designed for space-constrained PCB layouts requiring automated assembly | Choose for compact designs where reflow compatibility and board area savings justify reduced power handling |
Compared with BZX79-B43,143, the 1N4749A offers lower precision and higher impedance, while the BZX84-C43 sacrifices power rating and through-hole reliability for miniaturization-making the BZX79-B43,143 optimal for high-stability, through-hole industrial references.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation for BZX79-B43,143 at 50 °C ambient?
The BZX79-B43,143 has a maximum continuous power dissipation of 500 mW at Tamb = 50 °C when mounted on a PCB without metallization pad and with lead length ≤8 mm. At higher ambient temperatures, derating applies per the thermal resistance Rth j-a = 380 K/W.
How is polarity identified on the BZX79-B43,143 package?
Polarity is marked by a black cathode band on the glass body of the SOD27 (DO-35) package. The lead adjacent to the band is the cathode; the opposite lead is the anode. This marking aligns with JEDEC DO-35 standards and is visible before and after PCB insertion.
Does BZX79-B43,143 support surge protection applications?
Yes-the device supports non-repetitive transient suppression with a rated 40 W peak reverse power at tp = 100 μs. This capability enables use in IEC 61000-4-5 surge protection stages for industrial interfaces, provided surge repetition rate remains low to avoid thermal accumulation.
What is the typical temperature coefficient for BZX79-B43,143 at 2 mA test current?
The typical temperature coefficient is +45 mV/K at IZ = 2 mA, reflecting the positive drift characteristic common to Zeners above 6.2 V. This value is confirmed in Figure 6 of the Nexperia datasheet and directly impacts voltage reference stability across operating temperature ranges.
