Product details
Overview
BZX79-C75,143 from Nexperia is a ±5% tolerance Zener voltage regulator diode with nominal breakdown voltage of 75 V at 2 mA test current, 170 Ω typical differential resistance, and −255 mV/K temperature coefficient magnitude. It operates as a low-power voltage reference in bias networks, overvoltage clamping circuits, and analog signal conditioning stages where stable 75 V regulation under 500 mW dissipation is required.
For engineers reviewing the BZX79-C75,143 datasheet, BZX79-C75,143 pinout, BZX79-C75,143 application, or BZX79-C75,143 equivalent, this part is selected for precision low-current voltage referencing, reverse-biased stabilization in sensor interfaces, and transient-suppressed reference generation in industrial power supplies.
Technical Context
This diode functions exclusively in reverse-bias breakdown mode, with Zener mechanism dominant above 6 V. Its 75 V nominal working voltage is specified at IZtest = 2 mA, and its differential resistance (170 Ω typ., 500 Ω max.) defines regulation stiffness under load variation.
Thermal behavior is governed by Rth j-a = 380 K/W (lead length ≤8 mm, no PCB pad), limiting continuous operation to Tamb ≤50 °C at full 500 mW dissipation. Non-repetitive surge capability reaches 40 W for 100 μs pulses at Tj = 25 °C prior to surge.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Working Voltage (VZ) | 73.5–76.5 V at IZ = 2 mA; ensures ±5% regulation window for 75 V reference design |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | 170 Ω typ., 500 Ω max.; determines output impedance and load regulation error |
| Temperature Coefficient (SZ) | −255 mV/K max.; quantifies voltage drift per °C rise in junction temperature |
| Reverse Current (IR) | 50 nA max. at VR = 0.7 × VZnom = 52.5 V; defines leakage-induced error in high-impedance bias networks |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 500 mW at Tamb = 50 °C; sets maximum continuous DC power handling on standard PCB layout |
| Non-repetitive Peak Power (PZSM) | 40 W for 100 μs square wave; enables short-duration overvoltage clamping without failure |
Pinout & Package

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4744A | 14 V nominal, 1 W rating, DO-41 package, ±5% tolerance | Lower voltage, higher power; unsuitable for 75 V reference but usable in 15 V systems requiring greater surge margin | Select only if target voltage is ~14 V and board space allows larger DO-41 footprint |
| BZX85C75 | 75 V nominal, 1.3 W rating, DO-41 package, ±5% tolerance | Same voltage grade but higher power and larger package; requires different PCB layout and thermal management | Choose when continuous dissipation exceeds 500 mW or surge duty cycle demands >40 W capability |
Compared with BZX79-C75,143, the 1N4744A serves lower-voltage applications with higher surge resilience, while BZX85C75 offers identical regulation voltage but supports higher steady-state power-making both unsuitable as drop-in replacements without layout and thermal redesign.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse voltage this diode can regulate at?
The BZX79-C75,143 is rated for nominal 75 V regulation at 2 mA test current, with guaranteed minimum 73.5 V and maximum 76.5 V across the ±5% tolerance band. It must be operated within its 500 mW power limit - at 75 V, this restricts continuous reverse current to ≤6.67 mA - and derated above 50 °C ambient temperature per its 380 K/W thermal resistance.
How does the temperature coefficient affect voltage stability in real circuits?
With a maximum temperature coefficient of −255 mV/K, the BZX79-C75,143 exhibits predictable negative drift: voltage decreases ~19 mV per 75 °C junction rise. In a 75 V reference, this translates to ~0.025% per °C change - critical in unheated enclosures or thermally coupled layouts. Designers must account for this in high-accuracy applications using compensation networks or calibration offsets.
Can this diode be used in forward-bias mode like a standard rectifier?
No - the BZX79-C75,143 is optimized for reverse-bias Zener operation. Its forward voltage is 0.9 V at 10 mA, but it lacks the surge current rating, soft recovery, or low forward drop needed for rectification. Using it forward-biased risks premature aging or parametric shift due to unintended forward conduction during transient events.
Is the SOD27 package compatible with automated through-hole assembly?
Yes - the SOD27 (DO-35) package has standardized axial leads with 25.4 mm minimum length and 0.56 mm max. diameter, fully compatible with standard wave soldering and selective soldering equipment. The hermetic glass body withstands typical lead-free reflow preheat profiles, though hand-soldering requires ≤350 °C tip temperature and <3 s dwell time to avoid seal fracture.
