Product details
Overview
BZX85C47 R0G from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 47 V ±5% Zener diode in DO-41 package, rated for 1.3 W power dissipation and operating up to +200°C junction temperature. It delivers stable voltage regulation in low-power DC/DC converters, lighting circuits, and adapter designs where precision reference and thermal robustness are required.
For engineers reviewing the BZX85C47 R0G datasheet, BZX85C47 R0G pinout, BZX85C47 R0G application, or BZX85C47 R0G equivalent, key selection criteria include nominal Zener voltage (47 V), test current (4 mA), dynamic impedance (90 Ω at IZT), leakage current (0.5 µA at 33 V), and hermetically sealed glass DO-41 packaging.
Technical Context
This discrete Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain a stable reference voltage across its terminals under controlled current conditions. Its 47 V nominal Zener voltage is specified at 4 mA test current with ±5% tolerance, and exhibits 90 Ω dynamic impedance at that condition.
The device features a single-die construction in a hermetically sealed DO-41 glass package with pure tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability. Junction temperature range spans −65°C to +200°C, supporting operation in harsh thermal environments without derating below 25°C ambient.
Key Specifications

| VZ Nominal | 47 V - precise voltage reference point at 4 mA test current |
| VZ Tolerance | ±5% - ensures 44.0–50.0 V regulation window under production conditions |
| PD | 1.3 W - maximum continuous power dissipation at 25°C ambient |
| ZZT @ IZT | 90 Ω - dynamic impedance defining voltage stability under small-signal AC variation |
| IR @ VR | 0.5 µA at 33 V - low leakage preserves accuracy in high-impedance bias networks |
| TJ Max | +200°C - enables reliable operation in enclosed or thermally constrained enclosures |
| RθJA | 130°C/W - thermal resistance from junction to ambient, critical for heatsinking decisions |
Pinout & Package

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4750A | Same 47 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, but rated 1 W (vs. 1.3 W); DO-41 package; higher ZZT = 100 Ω | Limited to lower-power shunt loads; less margin in thermally dense PCB layouts | Select when legacy design uses 1N4750A footprint and thermal load remains ≤1 W |
| BZX55C47 | Same 47 V, ±5%, DO-35 package (smaller, 0.5 W rating); ZZT = 100 Ω; lower thermal mass | Suitable only for signal-level references; not recommended for power regulation above 200 mW | Choose for space-constrained PCBs where power dissipation is <200 mW and size outweighs thermal capability |
Compared with 1N4750A and BZX55C47, BZX85C47 R0G provides 30% higher power handling and lower dynamic impedance in the same DO-41 footprint-enabling more robust shunt regulation in industrial adapters and DC/DC converters without layout change.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for BZX85C47 R0G?
The BZX85C47 R0G has a nominal Zener voltage of 47 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%, meaning the actual measured voltage falls between 44.0 V and 50.0 V when tested at 4 mA DC current under pulse conditions. This tolerance is confirmed in the Electrical Specifications table of the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet (Version H2301), and applies across the full operating temperature range.
What is the maximum power dissipation of BZX85C47 R0G?
The BZX85C47 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 (RθJA = 130°C/W). At 75°C ambient, the usable power drops to approximately 0.85 W. This rating is validated in the Absolute Maximum Ratings section of the Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet.
Is BZX85C47 R0G RoHS compliant?
Yes, BZX85C47 R0G is RoHS compliant and uses green compound encapsulation as stated in the Mechanical Data and Ordering Information sections of the Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet. The device meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU requirements, with lead content below 1000 ppm and no restricted substances above threshold limits.
What package type does BZX85C47 R0G use?
BZX85C47 R0G uses the DO-41 axial-leaded glass package, as confirmed in the Mechanical Data, Ordering Information, and Package Outline Dimensions sections of the Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet. Dimensions include body diameter 2.80 mm, length ≥25.40 mm, and lead diameter 0.86 mm, with cathode polarity marked by a painted band.
What is the Zener impedance of BZX85C47 R0G at its test current?
The Zener impedance (ZZT) of BZX85C47 R0G is 90 Ω, measured at the specified test current of 4 mA. This value reflects the dynamic resistance in the breakdown region and directly impacts voltage regulation stability under varying load or ripple conditions. It is documented in the Electrical Specifications table for part BZX85C47 in the official datasheet.
