Product details
Overview
BZX79-B4V3,143 from Nexperia is a ±2% tolerance Zener voltage regulator diode in a hermetically sealed SOD27 (DO-35) glass package, rated for 4.3 V nominal Zener voltage at 5 mA test current, 410 Ω typical differential resistance, and −2.5 mV/K temperature coefficient. It delivers stable low-voltage reference or stabilization in power supply feedback paths, sensor biasing circuits, and overvoltage protection clamps.
For engineers reviewing the BZX79-B4V3,143 datasheet, BZX79-B4V3,143 pinout, BZX79-B4V3,143 application, or BZX79-B4V3,143 equivalent, this part serves as a precision 4.3 V reference with tight tolerance, low dynamic impedance, and predictable thermal drift-critical for analog sensing, LDO feedback, and voltage threshold detection where ±2% regulation stability is required.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with a specified Zener voltage of 4.21–4.39 V at IZ = 5 mA, exhibiting a typical differential resistance of 410 Ω and a negative temperature coefficient of −2.5 mV/K. Its low 3 μA reverse leakage at VR = 1 V ensures minimal quiescent current draw in standby-sensitive designs.
Designed for DC voltage regulation and reference applications, it supports continuous forward current up to 250 mA and non-repetitive peak reverse power dissipation of 40 W for 100 μs pulses. Thermal resistance from junction to ambient is 380 K/W under standard PCB mounting conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 4.21–4.39 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines precise regulation point for feedback or clamping |
| Tolerance | ±2% - enables tighter system-level voltage accuracy vs. ±5% C-series variants |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | 410 Ω typ. at IZ = 5 mA - determines load regulation sensitivity and output impedance |
| Temperature Coefficient (SZ) | −2.5 mV/K at IZ = 5 mA - quantifies voltage drift over temperature; negative sign indicates decreasing VZ with rising Tj |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 3 μA max. at VR = 1 V - ensures low standby power loss in always-on reference circuits |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 500 mW at Tamb = 50 °C - sets maximum steady-state power handling on standard PCB |
| Package | SOD27 (DO-35) - axial-leaded, hermetically sealed glass package with cathode band marking |
Pinout & Package
Hermetically sealed axial-leaded SOD27 (DO-35) glass package with cathode indicated by a colored band. Leads are tinned and suitable for through-hole soldering. No metallization pad required per datasheet mounting note.

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ±2% Zener voltage tolerance | Enables accurate voltage references without post-calibration in analog sensor interfaces and power supply feedback loops |
| 410 Ω typical differential resistance | Minimizes output voltage variation under changing load current-critical for stable LDO or op-amp reference inputs |
| −2.5 mV/K temperature coefficient | Predictable, linear VZ drift allows compensation in temperature-critical bias networks |
| Hermetic SOD27 (DO-35) packaging | Ensures long-term reliability and moisture resistance in industrial and automotive environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX79-C4V3,113 | ±5% tolerance (4.0–4.6 V), higher rdif (up to 600 Ω), same SOD27 package | Acceptable where cost sensitivity outweighs precision; less stable under varying load/temperature | Select for non-critical biasing or cost-driven consumer designs where ±5% is sufficient |
| MMSZ4V3T1G | Surface-mount SOD-123 package, ±5% tolerance, 300 Ω rdif, 500 mW Ptot | Requires PCB redesign for SMT; better thermal performance but no hermetic seal | Choose for space-constrained boards needing automated assembly and moderate precision |
Compared with BZX79-C4V3,113 and MMSZ4V3T1G, the BZX79-B4V3,143 offers superior voltage accuracy and thermal stability in a rugged hermetic package-making it optimal for industrial feedback, sensor biasing, and legacy through-hole designs where long-term calibration integrity matters.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation for BZX79-B4V3,143?
The BZX79-B4V3,143 has a total power dissipation rating of 500 mW at ambient temperature of 50 °C with standard lead length (≤8 mm) and no PCB metallization pad. At higher ambient temperatures, derating applies per the thermal resistance of 380 K/W.
How is polarity identified on the BZX79-B4V3,143 package?
The cathode is marked by a distinct colored band on the glass body of the SOD27 (DO-35) package. When mounted in-circuit, the banded end connects to the higher-potential node during Zener operation-i.e., the regulated voltage rail-while the anode connects to ground or lower potential.
Does BZX79-B4V3,143 support transient overvoltage suppression?
Yes-it is rated for non-repetitive peak reverse power dissipation of 40 W at pulse duration of 100 μs, making it suitable for clamping short-duration transients such as ESD events or inductive switch-off spikes in low-energy signal paths.
Can BZX79-B4V3,143 be used in place of BZX79-B4V3,113?
Yes-both share identical electrical specifications and SOD27 packaging; the suffix difference (143 vs. 113) reflects Nexperia's internal ordering codes and date/lot traceability, not functional variation. They are electrically and mechanically interchangeable.
