Product details
Overview
BZX84W-B47F from Nexperia is a ±2% tolerance Zener voltage regulator diode in SOT323 (SC-70) package, rated for 47 V nominal Zener voltage at 5 mA, 275 mW total power dissipation, and 150 °C maximum junction temperature, used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in compact DC power rails.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84W-B47F datasheet, BZX84W-B47F pinout, BZX84W-B47F application, or BZX84W-B47F equivalent, this page delivers verified Zener voltage, differential resistance, temperature coefficient, reverse leakage, and thermal resistance data directly applicable to low-power regulation, ESD clamping, and reference design validation.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown with a specified 47 V nominal Zener voltage (VZ) at IZ = 5 mA, exhibiting 375 Ω typical differential resistance (rdif) and +46.1 mV/K temperature coefficient (SZ). It maintains stable regulation under ambient temperatures from −55 °C to +150 °C.
Designed for surface-mount use on FR4 PCBs with single-sided copper, it delivers 275 mW steady-state power dissipation and withstands non-repetitive peak reverse power up to 40 W for 100 µs pulses, with 0.5 pF diode capacitance at 1 MHz and 0 V bias.

| Total Power Dissipation Ptot | 275 mW at Tamb = 25 °C on standard FR4; sets continuous thermal derating envelope |
| Thermal Resistance Rth(j-a) | 455 K/W in free air; determines junction-to-ambient temperature rise per watt |
| Forward Voltage VF | 0.9 V max at IF = 10 mA; defines conduction loss during forward-biased operation |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84W-C47 | ±5% tolerance (vs. ±2%), same 47 V nominal, identical SOT323 package and thermal specs | Acceptable where cost sensitivity outweighs regulation accuracy; higher VZ variation impacts closed-loop stability | Select when budget constraints dominate and system tolerances allow ±5% reference uncertainty |
| MMSZ47ET1G | ±5% tolerance, 47 V nominal, SOD-123 package (larger footprint), 500 mW Ptot, 300 Ω rdif | Higher power handling but incompatible with ultra-dense layouts; different thermal resistance (350 K/W) | Choose only if board space permits SOD-123 and >275 mW continuous dissipation is required |
Compared with BZX84W-C47, the BZX84W-B47F offers tighter voltage control essential for precision references; versus MMSZ47ET1G, it trades power margin for miniaturization and thermal compatibility with fine-pitch SMT designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous Zener current for BZX84W-B47F at 25 °C?
The maximum continuous Zener current is derived from Ptot = 275 mW and VZ = 47 V, yielding IZmax ≈ 5.85 mA. This assumes ideal heat sinking; actual usable current must be derated per Rth(j-a) = 455 K/W and ambient temperature per Figure 1 in the datasheet.
Does BZX84W-B47F have a connected pin 2, and what happens if it's soldered?
No - pin 2 is explicitly marked "n.c." (not connected) in Table 2 and has no internal die connection. Soldering it poses no electrical risk but may compromise mechanical reliability due to unintended thermal stress or solder bridging; best practice is to omit solder paste on that pad.
How does the +46.1 mV/K temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy over temperature?
At 47 V nominal, +46.1 mV/K translates to ~0.098 %/°C drift. Over a 100 °C range (−25 °C to +75 °C), this causes ~9.8 V total shift - meaning regulation shifts from ~42.1 V to ~51.9 V. System-level compensation (e.g., matched TC resistors) is required for sub-1% stability.
Can BZX84W-B47F replace BZX84W-B43 in an existing design?
Only if the circuit tolerates a 4 V higher Zener voltage and associated changes in differential resistance (375 Ω vs. 375 Ω), leakage (50 nA vs. 3 µA at VR = 2 V), and temperature coefficient (+46.1 mV/K vs. +41.2 mV/K). Layout and thermal margins remain identical due to shared SOT323 package and Ptot.
