Product details
Overview
BZX84J-B43,115 from Nexperia is a ±2 % tolerance Zener diode with nominal 43 V regulation voltage, 550 mW total power dissipation, and SOD323F (SC-90) surface-mount package, designed for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in automotive and industrial power rails.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84J-B43,115 datasheet, BZX84J-B43,115 pinout, BZX84J-B43,115 application, or BZX84J-B43,115 equivalent, this device supports stable 43 V clamping under transient surges up to 40 W (100 µs), operates across –55 °C to +150 °C ambient, and meets AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive electronics.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain a stable 43 V reference at 5 mA test current, with low differential resistance of 80 Ω ensuring minimal voltage deviation under load variation. Its temperature coefficient of +30.1 mV/K at IZ = 2 mA enables predictable drift compensation in thermal-stable designs.
The device features non-repetitive peak reverse power dissipation of 40 W (tp = 100 µs, square wave), junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 230 K/W on FR4 PCB, and reverse leakage current ≤ 0.05 µA at VR = 40 V - confirming suitability for low-power standby regulation and ESD-tolerant clamp circuits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 42.1 V to 43.9 V at IZ = 2 mA - defines precise clamping threshold for 43 V rail protection |
| Tolerance | ±2 % - ensures tight voltage matching without post-production trimming |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 550 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C - supports continuous regulation in compact SMT layouts |
| Non-repetitive Peak Power (PZSM) | 40 W (tp = 100 µs) - handles automotive load-dump transients per ISO 7637-2 |
| Differential Resistance (rdiff) | 80 Ω at IZ = 2 mA - limits output voltage shift to < 0.16 V per 2 mA load change |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 150 °C maximum - enables operation in under-hood automotive environments |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes - validated for automotive-grade reliability including HTOL, TC, and ESD testing |
Pinout & Package
SOD323F (SC-90) plastic surface-mount package: 2-terminal, ultra-compact footprint (2.3 mm × 1.35 mm × 0.95 mm), cathode marked by bar on top surface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C43,115 | ±5 % tolerance, higher IR (≤ 0.05 µA vs. ≤ 0.05 µA same), identical package and PZSM | Acceptable where 40.9–45.1 V range suffices; not suitable for tight-tolerance analog references | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs voltage precision requirements |
| MMSZ43ET1G | ±5 % tolerance, SOD-123 package (larger), 500 mW Ptot, 30 W PZSM (tp = 100 µs) | Lower surge rating and larger footprint limit use in automotive miniaturized modules | Prefer only if legacy SOD-123 footprint compatibility is mandatory |
Compared with BZX84-C43,115 and MMSZ43ET1G, the BZX84J-B43,115 delivers tighter voltage control (±2 %), superior surge handling (40 W), and smaller SOD323F packaging - making it optimal for next-generation automotive and high-density industrial regulators requiring traceable AEC-Q101 compliance.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage this Zener can regulate continuously?
The BZX84J-B43,115 regulates continuously at its nominal Zener voltage of 43 V, with absolute maximum reverse voltage limited to 43.9 V (max VZ) at 2 mA test current. Continuous operation beyond this value risks thermal runaway due to exceeding the 550 mW total power dissipation limit on standard FR4 PCB.
Does this part support reflow soldering only, or can it be hand-soldered?
Reflow soldering is the only recommended method per Nexperia's documentation; hand-soldering is not advised due to thermal stress risks. The SOD323F package has strict thermal profile requirements (peak 260 °C, 30 s max), and localized iron contact may exceed junction temperature limits or damage the plastic body.
How does the ±2 % tolerance affect circuit accuracy in a 43 V reference design?
At ±2 %, the actual regulation voltage falls between 42.1 V and 43.9 V at 2 mA. For a 43 V reference, this introduces ±0.86 V absolute error - acceptable for overvoltage clamping but requires additional trimming or calibration if used in precision analog feedback loops demanding sub-0.1 % stability.
Is the cathode marking consistent across all BZX84J-Bxx variants?
Yes - all BZX84J-Bxx devices use identical SOD323F packaging with a single marking bar adjacent to pin 1 (cathode), confirmed in Nexperia's package outline (Fig. 11) and pinning table. No variant uses dot, notch, or alternate marking schemes within this series.
