Product details
Overview
BZX79-C3V3,113 from Nexperia is a ±5% tolerance Zener voltage regulator diode in a hermetically sealed SOD27 (DO-35) glass package, rated for 3.3 V nominal working voltage at 5 mA test current, 500 mW total power dissipation at 50 °C ambient, and 5 μA reverse leakage at 1 V reverse bias. It serves as a low-power voltage reference in linear regulators and signal conditioning circuits for consumer and industrial power management.
For engineers reviewing the BZX79-C3V3,113 datasheet, BZX79-C3V3,113 pinout, BZX79-C3V3,113 application, or BZX79-C3V3,113 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal behavior, junction-to-ambient resistance, temperature coefficient, and validated alternative parts - all critical for precision biasing and stabilization design.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable voltage across its terminals under varying load and temperature conditions. Its differential resistance of 350–600 Ω at 5 mA and temperature coefficient of −3.5 to −2.4 mV/K define regulation accuracy and thermal drift performance in low-current reference paths.
The device uses axial-leaded SOD27 packaging with hermetic glass sealing, enabling reliable operation up to +200 °C junction temperature and supporting non-repetitive peak reverse power dissipation of 40 W for 100 μs pulses - essential for transient suppression in compact analog subsystems.
Key Specifications

| Voltage Tolerance | ±5% - allows cost-effective selection where tight regulation is not required |
| Total Power Dissipation | 500 mW at Tamb = 50 °C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling on standard PCB layout |
| Reverse Leakage Current | 5 μA at VR = 1 V - ensures minimal quiescent current draw in high-impedance reference nodes |
| Differential Resistance | 350–600 Ω at IZ = 5 mA - determines output impedance and load regulation sensitivity |
| Temperature Coefficient | −3.5 to −2.4 mV/K - quantifies voltage drift per degree Celsius in ambient temperature variations |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5226BS,115 | Surface-mount SOT-323 package; 3.3 V ±5%; 200 mW Ptot; 10 μA IR at 1 V | Lower power rating and higher leakage limit use in high-impedance references or space-constrained layouts | Select when board area is constrained and thermal budget permits reduced dissipation |
| 1N4728A | DO-41 package; 3.3 V ±5%; 1 W Ptot; 50 μA IR at 1 V; higher rdif (~10 Ω) | Higher power handling but looser regulation due to larger differential resistance and leakage | Select when robustness against sustained overload is prioritized over precision |
Compared with MMBZ5226BS,115, BZX79-C3V3,113 offers 2.5× higher power rating and half the reverse leakage, making it preferable for stable DC references; versus 1N4728A, it trades higher surge capability and tighter rdif for lower thermal resistance in leaded through-hole mounting.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation for BZX79-C3V3,113?
The BZX79-C3V3,113 has a maximum total power dissipation of 500 mW at an ambient temperature of 50 °C with specified lead length and PCB mounting conditions. At higher ambient temperatures or with longer leads, derating applies per the thermal resistance of 380 K/W.
How does the temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy?
This diode exhibits a negative temperature coefficient between −3.5 and −2.4 mV/K, meaning its Zener voltage decreases as junction temperature rises. For a 50 °C rise above 25 °C, the voltage shift is approximately −125 to −120 mV - critical for precision references in thermally variable environments.
Can BZX79-C3V3,113 be used in place of a 3.3 V LDO for voltage regulation?
No - it functions only as a shunt regulator requiring a series current-limiting resistor and cannot supply regulated output current like an LDO. It is suitable for low-current biasing or reference generation, not for powering loads directly.
Is the cathode marked on the BZX79-C3V3,113 package?
Yes - the cathode is identified by a distinct color band on the glass body of the SOD27 (DO-35) package, consistent with industry-standard axial diode marking conventions and confirmed in the official Nexperia outline drawing.
