Product details
Overview
BZX79-B6V2,143 from Nexperia is a ±2% tolerance Zener voltage regulator diode in a hermetically sealed SOD27 (DO-35) glass package, designed for low-power voltage reference and stabilization at 6.2 V nominal with 5 mA test current, 40–150 Ω differential resistance, and <3 μA reverse leakage at 4 V. It delivers stable regulation in compact analog power rails and sensor bias networks.
For engineers reviewing the BZX79-B6V2,143 datasheet, BZX79-B6V2,143 pinout, BZX79-B6V2,143 application, or BZX79-B6V2,143 equivalent, this part supports precision low-current references where thermal coefficient (0.4–2.3 mV/K), junction capacitance (≤200 pF), and non-repetitive surge capability (6 A peak reverse current) are critical selection criteria.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with a nominal Zener voltage of 6.2 V at IZ = 5 mA, exhibiting a typical temperature coefficient of +2.3 mV/K - indicating positive drift with rising temperature - and a differential resistance of 40 Ω (typ.) to 150 Ω (max.), ensuring predictable regulation under varying load conditions.
Its hermetic SOD27 glass package provides reliable long-term stability and low leakage (<3 μA at VR = 4 V), while its 500 mW total power dissipation rating at Tamb = 50 °C and 40 W non-repetitive peak reverse power handling (tp = 100 μs) support transient-tolerant reference designs in space-constrained PCB layouts.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 6.08–6.32 V at IZ = 5 mA; ensures tight ±2% regulation window for precision biasing |
| Differential Resistance rdif | 40–150 Ω; defines output impedance and load regulation sensitivity |
| Reverse Leakage IR | ≤3 μA at VR = 4 V; minimizes quiescent current loss in battery-powered references |
| Power Dissipation Ptot | 500 mW at Tamb = 50 °C; sets maximum continuous DC power in standard PCB mounting |
| Non-repetitive Peak Current IZSM | 6.0 A at tp = 100 μs; enables transient overvoltage clamping without failure |
| Temperature Coefficient SZ | +0.4 to +3.7 mV/K; indicates predictable positive VZ drift with junction temperature rise |
| Junction Capacitance Cd | ≤200 pF at f = 1 MHz, VR = 0 V; limits high-frequency noise coupling in reference nodes |
Pinout & Package
The BZX79-B6V2,143 is a two-terminal axial-leaded Zener diode in the SOD27 (DO-35) hermetically sealed glass package. The cathode is marked by a band on the glass body; the anode is the unmarked lead.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (banded end) | Reverse-biased Zener terminal | Connected to higher potential node; conducts when reverse voltage exceeds 6.2 V |
| Anode (unbanded end) | Reference ground return | Provides low-impedance path for Zener current; establishes regulated voltage at cathode |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ±2% Zener voltage tolerance | Enables tighter system-level voltage reference accuracy without post-calibration |
| Hermetic glass SOD27 package | Guarantees long-term parameter stability and moisture resistance in harsh environments |
| Low 3 μA reverse leakage at 4 V | Reduces standby current in always-on sensor bias and low-power MCU reference circuits |

|---|---|---|---|
| BZX79-C6V2,113 | ±5% tolerance (5.8–6.6 V), higher max rdif (30–80 Ω), 2 μA IR at 4 V | Lower cost; acceptable where system calibration compensates for wider VZ spread | Select for cost-sensitive consumer applications where ±2% is not required |
| MMBZ5234B,215 | SOT-23 surface-mount package, same ±2% tolerance, 150 mW Ptot, 100 Ω rdif | Enables high-density PCB layouts but requires reflow-compatible assembly and lacks hermetic sealing | Select when board space is constrained and automated SMT assembly is used |
Compared with BZX79-C6V2,113 and MMBZ5234B,215, the BZX79-B6V2,143 offers superior long-term stability via hermetic packaging and tighter regulation for analog-critical roles, while trading off size and assembly compatibility for reliability in industrial and sensor-grade designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation for BZX79-B6V2,143?
The BZX79-B6V2,143 has a maximum total power dissipation of 500 mW when mounted on a PCB at ambient temperature ≤50 °C with leads ≤8 mm. At higher ambient temperatures or with longer leads, derating applies per the Rth j-a = 380 K/W thermal resistance specification.
Does BZX79-B6V2,143 have a specified forward voltage?
Yes - the forward voltage is specified as ≤0.9 V at IF = 10 mA. This value reflects the diode's silicon junction behavior in forward conduction and is relevant for polarity-check circuits or reverse-polarity protection configurations where forward bias may occur.
Can BZX79-B6V2,143 be used in surface-mount designs?
No - it uses an axial-leaded SOD27 (DO-35) glass package intended for through-hole mounting. For surface-mount equivalents, consider the MMBZ5234B (SOT-23) or BZX84-B6V2 (SOT-23), which share the same ±2% tolerance and 6.2 V rating but differ in package, thermal performance, and surge capability.
What is the significance of the 'B' suffix in BZX79-B6V2?
The 'B' denotes the ±2% Zener voltage tolerance grade within the BZX79 family. This distinguishes it from 'C'-grade parts (≈±5% tolerance) and ensures tighter regulation for applications demanding higher reference accuracy without trimming or calibration.
