Product details
Overview
BZX84J-B43/DG/B3,1 from Nexperia is a 43 V ±2 % tolerance Zener diode in SOD323F (SC-90) package, rated for 550 mW total power dissipation and 40 W non-repetitive peak reverse power at 100 µs pulse width, designed for precision voltage regulation in automotive and industrial power rails.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84J-B43/DG/B3,1 datasheet, BZX84J-B43/DG/B3,1 pinout, BZX84J-B43/DG/B3,1 application, or BZX84J-B43/DG/B3,1 equivalent, this device offers AEC-Q101 qualification, low differential resistance (325 Ω at IZ = 5 mA), and stable temperature coefficient (4.66 mV/K at IZ = 2 mA) for robust overvoltage clamping and reference stability.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain a stable 43 V reference across load variations, with specified test current of 2 mA per Table 9 and guaranteed regulation within ±2 % tolerance at Tj = 25 °C. Its thermal resistance from junction to ambient is 230 K/W on FR4 PCB, limiting steady-state power handling under natural convection.
The device exhibits 0.05 µA maximum reverse leakage at VR = 34.4 V (80 % of VZ) and 56 pF capacitance at 1 MHz/0 V, making it suitable for low-frequency regulation rather than high-speed transient suppression. Non-repetitive surge capability is defined for square-wave pulses up to 100 µs at Tj = 25 °C prior to surge.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 42.1 V to 43.9 V at IZ = 2 mA - ensures tight regulation window for 43 V nominal rail protection |
| Tolerance | ±2 % - enables precise reference generation without post-calibration in automotive sensor supplies |
| Total Power Dissipation Ptot | 550 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C - defines maximum continuous DC power on standard FR4 layout |
| Non-repetitive Peak Power PZSM | 40 W at tp = 100 µs - supports ESD and load-dump transient clamping per ISO 7637-2 |
| Differential Resistance rdiff | 325 Ω at IZ = 2 mA - determines output impedance and regulation error under varying load current |
| Reverse Leakage IR | 0.05 µA max at VR = 34.4 V - guarantees minimal quiescent current in always-on monitoring circuits |
| Capacitance Cd | 56 pF at f = 1 MHz, VR = 0 V - limits high-frequency noise coupling in analog reference paths |
Pinout & Package
SOD323F (SC-90) surface-mount plastic package: 2.3 mm × 1.35 mm footprint, 0.65 mm height, cathode marked by bar on top surface.

| Low differential resistance | 325 Ω at 2 mA enables <1 % output deviation over ±10 mA load variation |
| Stable temperature coefficient | +4.66 mV/K at IZ = 2 mA minimizes drift across -40 °C to +125 °C operating range |
| Small SOD323F footprint | 2.3 mm × 1.35 mm area allows dense placement in space-constrained ECUs and ADAS modules |
| High surge robustness | 40 W non-repetitive peak power withstands ISO 16750-2 load dump transients without degradation |

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, same SOD323F package, 390 Ω rdiff at 5 mA | Higher regulation error (±2.15 V) acceptable in non-critical power sequencing | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs precision requirement and 5 mA test current aligns with existing design |
| MMSZ43ET1G | ±5 % tolerance, SOD-123 package (3.7 mm × 1.6 mm), 350 Ω rdiff at 1 mA | Larger footprint limits routing density in compact automotive modules | Choose only if legacy board layout requires SOD-123 compatibility and AEC-Q101 is not mandatory |
Compared with BZX84J-B43/DG/B3,1, the BZX84-C43,115 trades tolerance for lower unit cost in non-automotive applications, while MMSZ43ET1G sacrifices AEC-Q101 qualification and board space efficiency for broader distributor availability.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current for BZX84J-B43/DG/B3,1?
The absolute maximum forward current is 250 mA per Table 5, but forward conduction is not its intended operating mode. In Zener regulation, the device operates in reverse bias; forward voltage is specified at 100 mA (1.1 V max) only for characterization and ESD robustness verification.
Does BZX84J-B43/DG/B3,1 require heatsinking for 550 mW operation?
No external heatsink is required, but the 550 mW rating assumes mounting on an FR4 PCB with 1 cm² cathode pad (Table 5 note [4]). On standard 1 oz copper with minimal copper area, derating to ≤300 mW is recommended to maintain Tj < 150 °C.
How does the ±2 % tolerance affect regulation accuracy at elevated temperature?
The ±2 % spec applies at Tj = 25 °C. At 125 °C, the temperature coefficient of +4.66 mV/K adds ~0.47 V drift, resulting in total deviation of ±(0.86 V + 0.47 V) = ±1.33 V, or ±3.1 % of nominal 43 V - still within most automotive functional safety thresholds.
Can BZX84J-B43/DG/B3,1 replace BZX84-C43 in existing designs?
Yes, electrically and physically compatible with identical SOD323F package and pinout, but the tighter ±2 % tolerance and AEC-Q101 qualification provide improved accuracy and automotive reliability - no layout change needed, though validation of surge performance under ISO 7637-2 is recommended.
