Product details
Overview
BZX79-B47,133 from Nexperia is a ±2% tolerance Zener voltage regulator diode with nominal 47 V breakdown voltage at 2 mA test current, 85 Ω typical differential resistance, and −1.4 mV/K temperature coefficient at 5 mA. It operates in hermetically sealed SOD27 (DO-35) glass package, rated for 500 mW total power dissipation at 50 °C ambient, and serves as a precision low-power voltage reference in analog signal conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZX79-B47,133 datasheet, BZX79-B47,133 pinout, BZX79-B47,133 application, or BZX79-B47,133 equivalent, this part is selected for stable 47 V regulation in low-current bias networks, feedback loops of linear regulators, and overvoltage protection clamping where tight voltage tolerance and predictable thermal drift are required.
Technical Context
This Zener diode functions in reverse-biased avalanche mode, delivering regulated voltage across its cathode–anode terminals when reverse current exceeds the knee threshold. Its 47 V nominal Zener voltage is specified at IZtest = 2 mA per Table 2, with 50 Ω maximum differential resistance ensuring minimal voltage shift under load variation.
The device exhibits a negative temperature coefficient of −1.4 mV/K at 5 mA, indicating decreasing Zener voltage with rising junction temperature - a critical factor in thermally coupled reference designs. Its 40 pF capacitance at 0 V reverse bias and 1 MHz enables use in moderate-frequency stabilization without significant phase lag.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 46.1 V to 47.9 V at IZ = 2 mA - defines precise regulation window for feedback or clamping |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | 85 Ω typical at IZ = 2 mA - determines output impedance and load regulation error |
| Temperature Coefficient (SZ) | −1.4 mV/K at IZ = 5 mA - quantifies voltage drift vs. junction temperature change |
| Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 500 mW at Tamb = 50 °C - sets maximum continuous reverse power before thermal runaway |
| Reverse Current (IR) | 50 nA max. at VR = 0.7 × VZnom = 32.9 V - ensures low leakage in high-impedance bias networks |
| Junction-to-Ambient Rth | 380 K/W - defines thermal rise per watt; requires PCB layout consideration for sustained operation |
Pinout & Package

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current for BZX79-B47,133 at 47 V?
The device does not specify a maximum continuous reverse current at exactly 47 V. Instead, its safe operating area is defined by total power dissipation: at 50 °C ambient, maximum continuous reverse power is 500 mW, limiting average reverse current to approximately 10.6 mA (500 mW ÷ 47 V). Exceeding this risks thermal runaway due to 380 K/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance.
Can BZX79-B47,133 replace BZX79-C47 in a circuit?
No - BZX79-B47,133 has ±2% tolerance (46.1–47.9 V), while BZX79-C47 has approx. ±5% tolerance (44–50 V). Substituting introduces up to ±3% additional voltage uncertainty and may violate regulation accuracy requirements in precision feedback or reference applications.
Is the SOD27 package RoHS compliant?
Yes - Nexperia confirms RoHS compliance for the SOD27 package used in BZX79-B47,133, including lead-free terminations and exemption-compliant materials per Directive 2011/65/EU Annex II, with full declaration available in Nexperia's material compliance database.
What is the typical Zener impedance at 1 mA for this part?
Per Table 2, differential resistance (rdif) is specified at IZ = 2 mA (85 Ω typical, 375 Ω max). At 1 mA, impedance rises significantly - typical rdif is ~120 Ω based on Fig.5/6 extrapolation and Zener physics, confirming higher dynamic impedance near knee current.
