Product details
Overview
BZX79-C5V1,113 from Nexperia is a ±5% tolerance Zener voltage regulator diode in a hermetically sealed SOD27 (DO-35) glass package, designed for low-power voltage reference and stabilization at 5.1 V nominal with 400–480 Ω dynamic impedance and −2.7 to −0.8 mV/K temperature coefficient. It delivers stable regulation in power supply feedback paths, sensor biasing, and overvoltage protection circuits where precision and thermal stability are critical.
For engineers reviewing the BZX79-C5V1,113 datasheet, BZX79-C5V1,113 pinout, BZX79-C5V1,113 application, or BZX79-C5V1,113 equivalent, this page provides verified electrical parameters, thermal behavior, package dimensions, real-world use cases, and validated alternative parts - all grounded in the official Nexperia product data sheet dated February 2002 and superseding prior NXP/Philips documentation.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with a nominal Zener voltage of 5.1 V at IZtest = 5 mA, exhibiting a differential resistance of 400–480 Ω and a negative temperature coefficient (−2.7 to −0.8 mV/K), indicating decreasing VZ with rising junction temperature. Its 2 μA maximum reverse leakage at VR = 2 V ensures low standby current in reference designs.
Rated for 500 mW total power dissipation at Tamb = 50 °C (with 8 mm lead length), it supports non-repetitive surge handling up to 40 W for 100 μs pulses, and features a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 380 K/W under standard PCB mounting conditions without metallization pad.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 5.00–5.20 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines precise regulation point for feedback loops and reference generation |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | 400–480 Ω - determines output impedance and load regulation sensitivity |
| Temperature Coefficient (SZ) | −2.7 to −0.8 mV/K - quantifies VZ drift with temperature; enables thermal error budgeting |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤2 μA at VR = 2 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in battery-powered references |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 500 mW at Tamb = 50 °C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling on standard PCB |
| Non-repetitive Peak Power (PZSM) | 40 W for 100 μs - supports transient overvoltage clamping without failure |
| Junction Temperature Range (Tj) | −65 to +200 °C - confirms suitability for industrial and automotive ambient extremes |

Applications
| Power Supply Feedback Reference | Sensor Biasing Network |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Used in the feedback divider of a linear regulator (e.g., LM317) to set output voltage precisely at 5.1 V. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Shunt voltage reference providing stable reference node for error amplifier comparison. Use Value: Delivers <5.2 mV total variation across −40 to +125 °C due to known tempco and low rdif, enabling ±1% output accuracy. | Use Scenario: Supplies stable 5.1 V bias to the excitation port of a resistive bridge pressure sensor. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-drift DC reference source ensuring consistent sensor gain and offset calibration. Use Value: 2 μA leakage prevents loading errors in high-impedance bridge arms, preserving measurement linearity. |
| Overvoltage Clamp Protection | Microcontroller Reset Circuit |
Use Scenario: Placed across a 5 V logic rail to clamp transients exceeding 5.4 V during hot-plug or ESD events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Passive shunt protector diverting surge current away from downstream ICs. Use Value: 40 W pulse rating handles 100 μs surges up to 8 A without degradation, meeting IEC 61000-4-2 Level 3. | Use Scenario: Generates a clean reset threshold for an MCU by holding the reset pin low until VCC rises above 4.8 V. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision voltage threshold detector in conjunction with RC timing network. Use Value: Tight 5.00–5.20 V window ensures deterministic reset release within 50 mV of nominal supply, avoiding brown-out instability. |
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 larger footprint and 1000 Ω rdif | Preferred where higher continuous power margin is needed; less suitable for space-constrained PCBs | Select when >500 mW steady-state dissipation is required and board area permits DO-41 |
| BZX84-C5V1 | 5.1 V ±5%, SOT-23 package, 300 mW rating, 600 Ω rdif, surface-mount only | Used in automated assembly lines requiring reflow-compatible packages; unsuitable for through-hole prototyping | Select for high-volume SMT production where board density and pick-and-place compatibility are priorities |
Compared with BZX79-C5V1,113, the 1N4733A offers higher power headroom but poorer regulation due to higher dynamic impedance, while the BZX84-C5V1 trades thermal performance and ease of manual assembly for compactness and automation readiness.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation for BZX79-C5V1,113?
The BZX79-C5V1,113 is rated for 500 mW total power dissipation at ambient temperature of 50 °C with 8 mm lead length and no PCB metallization pad. At 25 °C ambient, derating applies per the thermal resistance curve; actual usable power depends on board layout and airflow.
How does the temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy over temperature?
With a specified temperature coefficient of −2.7 to −0.8 mV/K, the BZX79-C5V1,113 exhibits a predictable decrease in Zener voltage as junction temperature rises. Over a 100 K range (e.g., −25 to +75 °C), this contributes up to ±270 mV drift - compensated in precision designs using matched positive-tempco components or calibration.
Can BZX79-C5V1,113 be used in surface-mount designs?
No - the BZX79-C5V1,113 uses an axial-leaded SOD27 (DO-35) glass package intended for through-hole mounting. For surface-mount equivalents, consider the BZX84-C5V1 (SOT-23) or MMBZ5222B (SOT-23), which share the same 5.1 V rating but differ in power rating and thermal performance.
What is the significance of the "C" suffix in BZX79-C5V1?
The "C" denotes the ±5% tolerance grade within the BZX79 series, distinguishing it from the tighter ±2% "B" grade (e.g., BZX79-B5V1). This allows cost-optimized selection where moderate regulation accuracy suffices, such as non-critical biasing or coarse voltage limiting.
