Product details
Overview
BZX84J-C47,115 from Nexperia is a 47 V ±5 % Zener voltage regulator diode in SOD323F (SC-90) package, rated for 550 mW total power dissipation and 40 W non-repetitive peak reverse power at tp = 100 μs, used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage clamping in automotive power rails.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84J-C47,115 datasheet, BZX84J-C47,115 pinout, BZX84J-C47,115 application, or BZX84J-C47,115 equivalent, this part supports AEC-Q101-compliant designs requiring stable 47 V regulation with low differential resistance (325 Ω at IZ = 2 mA), tight tolerance, and surface-mount compatibility in space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain a stable 47 V reference across load variations, with temperature coefficient of +51.8 mV/K at IZ = 2 mA and reverse current < 0.05 µA at VR = 40 V. Its junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is 230 K/W on FR4 PCB.
The device features low forward voltage (1.1 V at IF = 100 mA), cathode-marked SOD323F package, and AEC-Q101 qualification confirming suitability for automotive ambient temperatures from −55 °C to +150 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 44.0 V to 50.0 V at IZ = 2 mA - defines nominal regulation point with ±5 % tolerance |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 550 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling on standard FR4 board |
| Non-repetitive Peak Reverse Power (PZSM) | 40 W at tp = 100 μs - enables transient surge suppression in automotive load-dump events |
| Differential Resistance (rdiff) | 325 Ω at IZ = 2 mA - determines regulation stiffness and output voltage variation under load changes |
| Reverse Current (IR) | < 0.05 µA at VR = 40 V - ensures minimal leakage before breakdown, critical for low-power standby circuits |
| Temperature Coefficient (SZ) | +51.8 mV/K at IZ = 2 mA - quantifies voltage drift per degree Celsius, enabling thermal compensation design |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 150 °C maximum - defines upper thermal limit for reliable long-term operation |
Pinout & Package
SOD323F (SC-90) plastic surface-mounted package: ultra-compact 2.3 mm × 1.35 mm footprint, 0.65 mm height, cathode marked by bar on top surface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (K) | Connected to regulated output node; marking bar identifies this terminal; carries reverse breakdown current |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C47,115 | Same 47 V ±5 % rating but lacks AEC-Q101 qualification; PZSM = 40 W unchanged; rdiff = 325 Ω identical | Not approved for automotive use; suitable only for industrial/commercial grade where qualification is not mandated | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive compliance requirements and thermal derating matches ambient conditions |
| MMSZ47ET1G | 47 V ±5 %, SOD-123 package (larger than SOD323F); Ptot = 500 mW (50 mW lower); rdiff = 350 Ω (25 Ω higher) | Requires more PCB area; slightly reduced regulation precision and surge margin; RoHS-compliant but not AEC-Q101 qualified | Choose if legacy SOD-123 footprint compatibility is required and 50 mW/25 Ω trade-off is acceptable |
Compared with BZX84J-C47,115, the BZX84-C47,115 offers identical electrical performance but no automotive qualification, while MMSZ47ET1G trades smaller size and AEC-Q101 for higher rdiff and lower Ptot-making the J-series optimal for space-constrained, safety-critical automotive voltage clamping.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current the BZX84J-C47,115 can sustain at 47 V?
The device is not rated for continuous reverse conduction at its Zener voltage. At VZ = 47 V, it operates in controlled breakdown with typical test current IZ = 2 mA. Sustained reverse current beyond 2 mA must be thermally limited by Ptot = 550 mW, implying absolute max average IZ ≈ 11.7 mA at 47 V-practically constrained by PCB thermal design and ambient temperature.
Does the BZX84J-C47,115 require a series current-limiting resistor in all applications?
Yes-operation in Zener breakdown requires external current limiting to prevent thermal runaway. For example, at 47 V regulation with 12 V supply margin, a minimum 1 kΩ resistor limits IZ to ~12 mA, staying within Ptot and ensuring stable regulation without exceeding Tj = 150 °C on standard FR4.
How does the +51.8 mV/K temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy over temperature?
At IZ = 2 mA, the coefficient causes +51.8 mV increase per °C rise in junction temperature. From 25 °C to 125 °C (ΔT = 100 K), VZ shifts +5.18 V-resulting in 47 V → 52.18 V. This 10.9 % drift must be compensated in precision references via circuit topology or calibration, not inherent to the diode.
Can the BZX84J-C47,115 replace a 51 V Zener in an existing design?
No-its 44–50 V range is incompatible with 51 V nominal regulation. Substituting would cause premature conduction and excessive power dissipation. A true 51 V alternative is BZX84J-C51,115 (48–54 V range), which shares identical package, AEC-Q101 status, and thermal specs but targets that higher voltage node.
