Product details
Overview
BZX84J-C33,115 from Nexperia is a 33 V ±5 % Zener voltage regulator diode in SOD323F (SC-90) package, rated for 550 mW total power dissipation and 150 °C junction temperature, with low differential resistance (60 Ω at IZ = 2 mA) and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive voltage reference and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84J-C33,115 datasheet, BZX84J-C33,115 pinout, BZX84J-C33,115 application, or BZX84J-C33,115 equivalent, this device serves as a precision shunt regulator in low-power supply rails, ESD-clamped signal lines, and biasing networks where stable 33 V reference and robust surge handling (up to 0.9 A non-repetitive peak reverse current) are required.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain a stable 33 V reference across its terminals under regulated current conditions (IZ = 2 mA), with a temperature coefficient of +12.6 mV/K enabling predictable drift compensation in thermal-varying environments. Its low 60 Ω differential resistance ensures minimal voltage variation under load changes.
The device supports pulsed surge immunity up to 40 W (tp = 100 μs, square wave) and exhibits 0.05 μA reverse leakage at 25.1 V, meeting stringent requirements for automotive-grade voltage clamping and reference stability in engine control units and body electronics.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 33 V nominal, ±5 % tolerance - defines precise clamping threshold for overvoltage protection and reference generation |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 550 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling on standard FR4 PCB |
| Differential Resistance (rdiff) | 60 Ω at IZ = 2 mA - determines output impedance and regulation sensitivity to current variation |
| Non-repetitive Peak Reverse Current (IZSM) | 0.9 A at tp = 100 μs - enables transient surge suppression without failure in automotive load-dump events |
| Reverse Leakage Current (IR) | 0.05 μA at VR = 25.1 V - ensures negligible standby current in high-impedance bias networks |
| Thermal Resistance (Rth(j-a)) | 230 K/W - quantifies junction-to-ambient heat transfer efficiency on single-sided FR4 board |
| Operating Junction Temperature | −55 °C to +150 °C - supports deployment in under-hood automotive environments and industrial controls |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C33,115 | Same 33 V ±5 % rating but lacks AEC-Q101 qualification and has higher rdiff (75 Ω) | Not suitable for automotive under-hood use; acceptable for commercial-grade power supplies | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive reliability requirements |
| MMSZ5261B-TP | 33 V ±5 %, SOD-123 package, Ptot = 500 mW, rdiff = 70 Ω, no AEC-Q101 | Larger footprint and lower surge rating (30 W) limit use in compact, high-surge automotive nodes | Choose only if SOD-123 board layout is already standardized and thermal margin permits |
Compared with BZX84-C33,115 and MMSZ5261B-TP, the BZX84J-C33,115 delivers superior automotive compliance, tighter thermal performance (150 °C Tj), and higher surge resilience-making it the sole option for safety-critical 33 V reference in ECU and ADAS subsystems.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current for BZX84J-C33,115?
The absolute maximum forward current is 250 mA per limiting values table. However, forward conduction is not its intended operating mode; the device is designed for reverse-bias Zener regulation. Sustained forward current above 100 mA risks thermal overstress due to VF ≈ 1.1 V at that level, exceeding safe power dissipation limits on standard PCBs.
Can BZX84J-C33,115 replace BZX84-C33 in an existing design?
Yes, electrically and physically-both share identical SOD323F package, 33 V ±5 % rating, and pinout. The BZX84J-C33,115 adds AEC-Q101 qualification and improved thermal resistance (230 K/W vs. 250 K/W typical), making it a drop-in upgrade for automotive applications without layout changes.
What is the reverse leakage current at 25 V for this part?
At VR = 25.1 V and Tj = 25 °C, the maximum reverse leakage current is 0.05 μA, as specified in Table 9. This ultra-low leakage ensures minimal loading on high-impedance reference nodes and preserves accuracy in precision analog circuits.
Does this Zener diode require external current limiting in series?
Yes-like all Zener diodes, BZX84J-C33,115 requires a series current-limiting resistor to set IZ within 1–10 mA for optimal regulation. Without it, excessive current causes thermal runaway; the resistor value is calculated using (VIN − 33 V)/IZ, where IZ is selected based on desired rdiff and power margin.
