Product details
Overview
BZX79-B4V7,143 from Nexperia is a ±2% tolerance Zener voltage regulator diode in a hermetically sealed SOD27 (DO-35) glass package, rated for 4.7 V nominal Zener voltage at 5 mA test current, 425 Ω typical differential resistance, and −1.4 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-B4V7,143 datasheet, BZX79-B4V7,143 pinout, BZX79-B4V7,143 application, or BZX79-B4V7,143 equivalent, this part supports precision voltage referencing where tight tolerance, low dynamic impedance, and predictable thermal drift are required - especially in space-constrained analog front-ends and industrial control signal conditioning.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with a specified Zener voltage of 4.61 V to 4.79 V at IZ = 5 mA, exhibiting a differential resistance of ≤500 Ω (typ. 425 Ω) and a negative temperature coefficient of −3.5 to −1.4 mV/K. Its low 3 μA reverse leakage at VR = 2 V ensures minimal quiescent current in standby regulation.
Designed for DC and low-frequency stabilization, it supports non-repetitive surge handling up to 40 W for 100 μs pulses and continuous dissipation of 500 mW at Tamb = 50 °C with standard PCB mounting. The axial-leaded SOD27 package enables through-hole reliability without thermal pad requirements.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4732A | 4.7 V ±5%, 600 Ω rdif, DO-41 package | Higher tolerance and impedance; less suitable for precision feedback | Select only if cost sensitivity outweighs regulation accuracy needs |
| BZX84-C4V7 | 4.7 V ±5%, SOT-23 surface-mount, 600 Ω rdif | Smaller footprint but higher leakage (5 μA) and lower surge rating (1 W) | Choose for space-constrained PCBs where surge immunity is secondary |
Compared with 1N4732A and BZX84-C4V7, BZX79-B4V7,143 offers superior voltage accuracy and lower dynamic impedance in a robust through-hole package - making it optimal for industrial feedback and biasing where long-term stability and surge resilience matter.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation for BZX79-B4V7,143?
The BZX79-B4V7,143 is rated for 500 mW total power dissipation at an ambient temperature of 50 °C with standard PCB mounting and 8 mm lead length. Derating is required above 50 °C at 3.3 mW/°C based on its 380 K/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance.
How does the temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy?
With a typical temperature coefficient of −1.4 mV/K, the Zener voltage decreases by ~1.4 mV per degree Celsius rise in junction temperature. Over a 100 °C range, this results in ~140 mV drift - critical to account in high-precision references but manageable with layout thermal symmetry or compensation networks.
Can BZX79-B4V7,143 be used in surface-mount designs?
No - BZX79-B4V7,143 uses the axial-leaded SOD27 (DO-35) through-hole package and is not compatible with SMT assembly. For surface-mount equivalents, consider the BZX84-C4V7 (SOT-23) or MMBZ4685 (SOT-23), though both offer only ±5% tolerance and higher dynamic impedance.
What is the reverse leakage current at 2 V?
The reverse leakage current is guaranteed ≤3 μA at VR = 2 V and Tj = 25 °C. This low leakage ensures minimal error in high-impedance voltage divider networks and preserves battery life in always-on monitoring circuits.
