Product details
Overview
BZX79-B5V1,133 from Nexperia is a ±2% tolerance Zener voltage regulator diode in DO-35 (SOD27) glass package, designed for low-power voltage reference and stabilization at 5.1 V nominal with 400–480 Ω dynamic impedance and −0.8 to +1.2 mV/K temperature coefficient. It delivers stable regulation in power supply feedback paths, sensor biasing, and precision analog reference circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZX79-B5V1,133 datasheet, BZX79-B5V1,133 pinout, BZX79-B5V1,133 application, or BZX79-B5V1,133 equivalent, this page provides verified electrical parameters, thermal behavior, reverse leakage at VR = 2 V (≤2 μA), non-repetitive surge capability (6.0 A, 100 μs), and direct substitution guidance against industry-standard 5.1 V Zeners.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with a specified test current of 5 mA, delivering precise 5.1 V regulation under stable thermal conditions (Tj = 25 °C). Its differential resistance (400–480 Ω) and low temperature coefficient (−0.8 to +1.2 mV/K) enable predictable drift compensation in analog references.
The device uses hermetically sealed glass packaging (SOD27/DO-35) with axial leads and cathode band marking. Thermal resistance from junction to tie-point is 300 K/W (lead length 8 mm), limiting continuous dissipation to 400 mW at Tamb = 50 °C per IEC 60134 absolute maximum ratings.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Nominal Zener Voltage (VZ) | 5.00–5.20 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines stable regulation point for feedback loops and reference generation |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | 400–480 Ω at IZ = 5 mA - determines output impedance and load regulation sensitivity |
| Reverse Leakage Current (IR) | ≤2 μA at VR = 2 V - ensures minimal error current in high-impedance reference nodes |
| Temperature Coefficient (SZ) | −0.8 to +1.2 mV/K - enables predictable drift modeling across −65 to +200 °C operating range |
| Non-Repetitive Peak Reverse Current (IZSM) | 6.0 A for tp = 100 μs - supports transient overvoltage clamping without failure |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 400 mW at Tamb = 50 °C - sets maximum continuous bias current limit in PCB-mounted designs |
| Junction Temperature Range (Tj) | −65 to +200 °C - validates operation in automotive under-hood and industrial control environments |
Pinout & Package
Hermetically sealed glass SOD27 (DO-35) package with axial leads; cathode identified by a dark band on the glass body. Leads are tinned copper-clad steel, suitable for wave or hand soldering. Package dimensions: D = 1.85 mm max., L = 25.4 mm min., b = 0.56 mm max.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ±2% Zener voltage tolerance | Enables single-supply analog systems to meet tight reference accuracy without trimming |
| Hermetic glass SOD27 package | Ensures long-term parameter stability and moisture resistance in harsh environments |
| Low non-repetitive peak reverse power dissipation limit (40 W) | Allows safe handling of short-duration transients in unprotected input stages |
| Specified thermal resistance (Rth j-tp = 300 K/W) | Permits accurate junction temperature estimation for reliability analysis in thermal-limited layouts |
| Normalized E24 voltage series | Guarantees interoperability with standard resistor networks and legacy design libraries |
Applications
| Power Supply Feedback Reference | Sensor Biasing Circuit |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4733A | 5.1 V ±5%, 1 W rating, DO-41 package, higher Ptot but looser tolerance | Preferred where cost and surge margin outweigh precision needs (e.g., non-critical power rails) | Select when board space allows larger DO-41 and ±5% regulation suffices |
| BZX84-C5V1 | 5.1 V ±5%, SOT-23 surface-mount, 300 mW rating, higher rdif (~600 Ω) | Suitable for space-constrained PCBs but less stable under varying load currents | Choose for automated assembly and compact designs where thermal derating is managed |
Compared with BZX79-B5V1,133, the 1N4733A offers higher surge robustness but sacrifices voltage accuracy, while the BZX84-C5V1 trades off precision and power handling for miniaturization-making the BZX79-B5V1,133 optimal for through-hole analog references demanding ±2% stability and proven long-term reliability.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation for BZX79-B5V1,133 at 50 °C ambient?
The maximum continuous power dissipation is 400 mW when mounted on a PCB without metallization pad and with lead length ≤8 mm, per IEC 60134 limiting values. This derates linearly above 50 °C ambient based on Rth j-a = 380 K/W, reaching zero dissipation at approximately 120 °C ambient.
How does the temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy over −40 to +85 °C?
With a typical temperature coefficient of +0.2 mV/K near 5.1 V, the Zener voltage shifts approximately +12.5 mV across a 62.5 K span (−40 to +85 °C), resulting in <±0.25% total variation. This is confirmed by Fig.6 in the datasheet showing SZ = −0.8 to +1.2 mV/K at IZ = 5 mA.
Can BZX79-B5V1,133 be used in place of a 5.0 V Zener like BZX79-B5V0?
No-BZX79-B5V0 has a nominal 5.0 V rating (4.90–5.10 V), while BZX79-B5V1 specifies 5.00–5.20 V. The 100 mV offset affects feedback loop setpoints and may cause over-regulation in tightly tuned supplies; substitution requires verification of system tolerance margins.
What is the reverse leakage current at 2.5 V reverse bias and 125 °C junction temperature?
While datasheet IR is specified only at 25 °C (≤2 μA at VR = 2 V), extrapolation using typical silicon diode behavior indicates ~20–30 μA at 125 °C and 2.5 V. For critical high-temp designs, derating or parallel leakage testing is recommended per application requirements.
