Product details
Overview
BZX79-C2V7,133 from Nexperia is a ±5% tolerance Zener voltage regulator diode in a hermetically sealed SOD27 (DO-35) glass package, rated for 2.7 V nominal Zener voltage at 5 mA test current, 500 mW total power dissipation at 50 °C ambient, and 20 μA reverse leakage at 1 V reverse bias. It serves as a low-power voltage reference or stabilization element in linear power supplies, sensor biasing circuits, and overvoltage protection clamps.
For engineers reviewing the BZX79-C2V7,133 datasheet, BZX79-C2V7,133 pinout, BZX79-C2V7,133 application, or BZX79-C2V7,133 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±5%), differential resistance (300–600 Ω), temperature coefficient (−3.5 to −2.0 mV/K), junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (380 K/W), and non-repetitive peak reverse power capability (40 W).
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with a specified Zener voltage of 2.65–2.75 V at IZ = 5 mA, exhibiting a negative temperature coefficient between −3.5 and −2.0 mV/K - typical for low-voltage Zeners below ~5 V. Its differential resistance ranges from 300 Ω (min) to 600 Ω (max), indicating moderate regulation stiffness under varying load currents.
The device uses axial-leaded, hermetically sealed glass packaging (SOD27/DO-35) with cathode marked by a band, enabling reliable operation up to 200 °C junction temperature and supporting non-repetitive surge handling up to 40 W for 100 μs pulses at Tj = 25 °C prior to surge.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 2.65–2.75 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines stable reference point for low-voltage biasing |
| Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 500 mW at Tamb = 50 °C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling on standard PCB |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 20 μA at VR = 1 V - determines minimum quiescent current draw in standby reference circuits |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | 300–600 Ω - quantifies voltage regulation sensitivity to current changes |
| Temperature Coefficient (SZ) | −3.5 to −2.0 mV/K - indicates predictable downward drift of VZ with rising temperature |
| Non-repetitive Peak Power (PZSM) | 40 W for tp = 100 μs - enables transient overvoltage clamping without failure |
| Junction-to-Ambient Rth | 380 K/W - defines thermal rise per watt under natural convection on unmetallized PCB |
Pinout & Package

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current for BZX79-C2V7,133?
The absolute maximum continuous forward current is 250 mA at Tamb = 50 °C, as defined in the Limiting Values table. This rating assumes standard PCB mounting without metallization pad and lead length ≤8 mm. Exceeding this value risks thermal runaway or bond-wire failure.
How does the temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy over temperature?
With a typical temperature coefficient of −2.5 mV/K, the Zener voltage decreases by approximately 2.5 mV per Kelvin rise in junction temperature. Over a 100 K range (−40 to +60 °C), this yields ~250 mV drift - a key design factor when using BZX79-C2V7,133 in precision references without compensation.
Can BZX79-C2V7,133 be used as a replacement for BZX79-B2V7?
No - BZX79-B2V7 has ±2% tolerance (2.65–2.75 V) and tighter differential resistance (275–600 Ω), while BZX79-C2V7 has ±5% tolerance (2.5–2.9 V) and higher rdif (300–600 Ω). Substitution may degrade regulation accuracy and thermal stability in precision applications.
What is the cathode marking convention on the SOD27 package?
The cathode is marked by a single color band (typically black or dark gray) located near one end of the glass body. When oriented with the band to the left, the left lead is cathode and the right lead is anode - consistent with JEDEC DO-35 and IEC SOD27 standards.
