Product details
Overview
BZX79-B75,133 from Nexperia is a ±2% tolerance Zener voltage regulator diode with nominal working voltage 75 V, total power dissipation up to 500 mW at Tamb = 50 °C, differential resistance ≤500 Ω at IZtest = 2 mA, and non-repetitive peak reverse power dissipation of 40 W (tp = 100 μs). It operates as a precision low-power voltage reference in analog front-ends and power supply feedback networks.
For engineers reviewing the BZX79-B75,133 datasheet, BZX79-B75,133 pinout, BZX79-B75,133 application, or BZX79-B75,133 equivalent, this part serves in stable voltage referencing where tight tolerance, low temperature coefficient drift, and hermetic glass package reliability are required - especially in industrial sensor signal conditioning and legacy power supply designs.
Technical Context
This device is a single-junction, silicon planar Zener diode optimized for low-current regulation (IZtest = 2 mA), with cathode-indicated axial leads in a hermetically sealed SOD27 (DO-35) glass package. Its thermal resistance from junction to ambient is 380 K/W under standard mounting conditions.
The BZX79-B75,133 exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +73.4 to +88.6 mV/K across its operating current range, enabling predictable voltage drift compensation in series-connected reference configurations. Reverse leakage remains ≤50 nA at VR = 0.7 × VZnom (52.5 V).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Working Voltage (VZ) | 73.5 V to 76.5 V at IZ = 2 mA - defines precise regulation point for feedback loops requiring high-voltage reference stability |
| Tolerance | ±2% - enables tighter output voltage control vs. ±5% C-series variants in critical biasing applications |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | ≤500 Ω max at IZ = 2 mA - limits regulation error under load current variation in low-power references |
| Non-repetitive Peak Power (PZSM) | 40 W for tp = 100 μs - supports transient overvoltage clamping in surge-protected input stages |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤50 nA at VR = 52.5 V - ensures minimal current draw in high-impedance reference dividers |
| Package | SOD27 (DO-35) - hermetically sealed glass axial package rated for −65 °C to +200 °C storage and operation |
| Junction-to-Ambient Rth | 380 K/W - determines maximum allowable ambient temperature for continuous 500 mW operation without heatsinking |
Pinout & Package
Hermetically sealed glass SOD27 (DO-35) package with axial leads; cathode identified by a colored band on the glass body. Device has two terminals only: anode and cathode - no internal circuitry or additional pins.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / reference ground node | Connected to circuit ground or lower-potential node when used in reverse-biased Zener configuration |
| Cathode | Zener breakdown terminal / regulated output node | Marked with band; connects to voltage source via current-limiting resistor to establish stable VZ at output |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ±2% voltage tolerance | Enables direct replacement in circuits requiring tighter regulation than ±5% Zeners without recalculating bias resistors |
| Hermetic glass SOD27 package | Provides long-term parameter stability and moisture resistance in harsh environments without conformal coating |
| Low IR at high VR | 50 nA max at 52.5 V ensures <1 µW quiescent loss in high-impedance voltage divider references |
| Controlled temperature coefficient | +73.4 to +88.6 mV/K allows predictable drift compensation when paired with negative-TC components |
Applications
| Industrial Sensor Signal Conditioning | Legacy Linear Power Supply Feedback |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5265B | Surface-mount SOT-23 package; same 75 V ±5%; Ptot = 350 mW; higher rdif (≤700 Ω) | Requires PCB redesign; unsuitable for through-hole legacy boards or high-temp solder rework cycles | Select when space-constrained layouts demand SMT integration and ±5% tolerance is acceptable |
| BZX85C75 | Through-hole DO-41 package; ±5% tolerance; Ptot = 1.3 W; rdif ≤200 Ω at IZ = 40 mA | Higher power handling but looser tolerance; requires larger current-limiting resistor for same Zener current | Select when higher surge robustness and lower dynamic impedance are prioritized over voltage accuracy |
Compared with MMBZ5265B and BZX85C75, the BZX79-B75,133 uniquely balances ±2% precision, through-hole compatibility, and hermetic reliability - making it irreplaceable in field-deployed instrumentation where calibration retention and long-term drift matter most.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation for BZX79-B75,133 at 50 °C ambient?
The maximum continuous total power dissipation is 500 mW when mounted on a PCB without metallization pad and with lead length ≤8 mm at Tamb = 50 °C. Derating applies above this temperature per the 380 K/W thermal resistance specification.
Does BZX79-B75,133 have a specified Zener test current, and what is its value?
Yes - the Zener voltage is specified at IZtest = 2 mA, as confirmed in Table 2 of the datasheet. This current level is used to measure VZ, differential resistance, and temperature coefficient, and must be maintained via appropriate series resistor selection in application circuits.
How is polarity identified on the BZX79-B75,133 package?
The cathode is marked by a distinct colored band on the glass body of the SOD27 (DO-35) package. When viewed with the band on the left, the lead on the right is the anode; correct orientation is essential for proper reverse-bias operation in Zener regulation mode.
Can BZX79-B75,133 be used in parallel for higher power handling?
No - Zener diodes exhibit manufacturing variance in VZ and rdif, causing current imbalance and thermal runaway when paralleled. For higher power, use a single higher-rated device like BZX85C75 or implement active regulation instead.
