Product details
Overview
BZX85C43 R0G from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 43 V ±5% Zener diode in DO-41 package, rated for 1.3 W power dissipation and operating up to +200 °C junction temperature. It provides precise voltage regulation in low-power DC/DC converters, lighting circuits, and adapter reference stages.
For engineers reviewing the BZX85C43 R0G datasheet, BZX85C43 R0G pinout, BZX85C43 R0G application, or BZX85C43 R0G equivalent, key selection criteria include nominal Zener voltage (43 V), test current (50 mA), dynamic impedance (1000 Ω at IZT), leakage current (0.5 µA at 30 V), and hermetically sealed glass DO-41 packaging.
Technical Context
This discrete Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable voltage across its terminals under varying load or input conditions. Its 1.3 W power rating and 130 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance define thermal limits in PCB-mounted applications.
The device features ±5% tolerance on nominal 43 V Zener voltage, tested at 50 mA with 10 ms pulse, and exhibits 1000 Ω dynamic impedance at that condition. Cathode polarity is marked by a visible band on the DO-41 glass body.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4749A | Same 43 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, but rated 1 W (vs. 1.3 W) and DO-41 package | Lower power handling limits use in sustained high-current regulation | Select when thermal margin is sufficient and legacy 1N-series footprint is required |
| BZX55C43 | Same 43 V, ±5%, DO-41, but 500 mW rating and higher ZZT (2 kΩ) | Higher impedance reduces regulation accuracy under dynamic loads | Prefer for cost-sensitive, low-power biasing where precision is secondary |
Compared with 1N4749A and BZX55C43, BZX85C43 R0G delivers higher power capability (1.3 W) and lower dynamic impedance (1000 Ω), making it suitable for applications needing tighter voltage regulation under moderate load variation without derating.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of BZX85C43 R0G?
The BZX85C43 R0G has a nominal Zener voltage of 43 V with a tolerance of ±5%, meaning its actual breakdown voltage falls between 40.0 V and 46.0 V at 25 °C and 50 mA test current. This tolerance is confirmed in the Electrical Specifications table and applies to all units in the production lot.
What is the maximum power dissipation for BZX85C43 R0G?
The BZX85C43 R0G is rated for 1.3 W maximum power dissipation at 25 °C ambient temperature. Derating is required above 25 °C per the thermal resistance specification of 130 °C/W, and the absolute maximum junction temperature is +200 °C.
Is BZX85C43 R0G RoHS compliant?
Yes, BZX85C43 R0G is RoHS compliant, as explicitly stated in the FEATURES section of the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet. The device uses lead-free, green compound encapsulation and tin-plated leads meeting J-STD-002 solderability standards.
What package type does BZX85C43 R0G use?
BZX85C43 R0G uses the DO-41 axial-leaded glass package, with cathode polarity indicated by a black band. Mechanical dimensions, lead plating (pure tin), and weight (≈242 mg) are fully specified in the Mechanical Data section of the datasheet.
What is the Zener impedance of BZX85C43 R0G at its test current?
The dynamic impedance (ZZT) of BZX85C43 R0G is 1000 Ω at the specified test current of 50 mA. This value reflects the small-signal AC resistance in reverse breakdown and directly affects voltage regulation accuracy under varying load conditions.
