Product details
Overview
NZX2V4B,133 from Nexperia is a single Zener diode in a hermetically sealed SOD27 (SC-40) glass package, designed for precision voltage regulation at 2.4 V nominal Zener voltage with ±5% tolerance. It delivers 500 mW total power dissipation, low differential resistance (≤100 Ω at IZ = 5 mA), and low reverse leakage (≤50 µA at VR = 1 V), enabling stable reference generation in low-power analog circuits and overvoltage protection in sensor signal conditioning stages.
For engineers reviewing the NZX2V4B,133 datasheet, NZX2V4B,133 pinout, NZX2V4B,133 application, or NZX2V4B,133 equivalent, this device serves as a cost-effective, temperature-stable voltage clamp for biasing, regulation, and transient suppression in industrial control modules, battery-powered instrumentation, and automotive body electronics where axial-leaded reliability and tight VZ tolerance are required.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with a nominal working voltage of 2.4 V (min 2.3 V, max 2.5 V at IZ = 5 mA), exhibiting a typical temperature coefficient near zero crossing in the 2–3 V range. Its low thermal resistance (Rth(j-a) = 380 K/W in free air) supports operation up to 175 °C junction temperature.
The device features axial leads with cathode indicated by a band, conforms to IEC 60134 absolute maximum ratings, and is characterized under pulse test conditions (tp ≤ 300 µs, duty cycle δ ≤ 0.02) to ensure stable parametric behavior during transient events.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 2.4 V (min 2.3 V, max 2.5 V at IZ = 5 mA); enables precise low-voltage reference for 3.3 V or lower rail monitoring. |
| Differential Resistance rdif | ≤100 Ω at IZ = 5 mA; ensures minimal output voltage variation under load current changes in regulation circuits. |
| Reverse Leakage IR | ≤50 µA at VR = 1 V; reduces standby power loss in always-on sensing nodes. |
| Total Power Dissipation Ptot | 500 mW at Ttp ≤ 25 °C; supports continuous operation in compact PCB layouts without forced cooling. |
| Junction Temperature Tj | −65 °C to +175 °C; qualified for extended industrial and under-hood automotive environments. |
| Thermal Resistance Rth(j-a) | 380 K/W in free air; defines self-heating rise per watt, critical for derating in enclosed enclosures. |

Package: SOD27 (SC-40), hermetically sealed axial-leaded glass package with 2 leads; cathode identified by a colored band.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode | Connected to regulated output node; reverse-biased terminal where Zener breakdown occurs. |
| 2 | Anode | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; completes conduction path during regulation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hermetic glass sealing | Prevents moisture ingress and parameter drift over time, ensuring long-term VZ stability in humid environments. |
| Low differential resistance | ≤100 Ω improves regulation accuracy across ±1 mA load variations in feedback networks. |
| Low leakage current | ≤50 µA at 1 V reverse bias minimizes quiescent current draw in battery-backed circuits. |

Applications
| Power Supply Reference | Sensor Biasing |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Providing stable 2.4 V reference for ADC input scaling in a 3.3 V microcontroller-based data logger. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener diode acts as shunt voltage reference, clamping input to known potential independent of supply ripple. Use Value: Enables ±1% full-scale accuracy in analog measurements despite ±5% supply variation and 85 °C ambient. |
Use Scenario: Biasing a silicon photodiode in a smoke detector front-end amplifier. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supplies fixed reverse bias voltage to optimize photodiode junction capacitance and response linearity. Use Value: Reduces dark current drift by 40% compared to resistor-divider bias, improving low-light detection SNR. |
| Overvoltage Clamp | Logic-Level Translation |
Use Scenario: Protecting GPIO pins of an ESP32-WROOM-32 module against 5 V transients on a shared I²C bus. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Shunt clamp activated above 2.7 V, diverting surge current away from ESD-sensitive inputs. Use Value: Limits pin voltage to <2.9 V during 2 kV HBM ESD events, preventing latch-up without adding series resistance. |
Use Scenario: Level-shifting 1.8 V logic signals to interface with a 2.4 V analog multiplexer in a medical sensor hub. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Forward-conducting diode drop (≈0.7 V) combined with Zener clamp establishes clean 2.4 V high-level threshold. Use Value: Achieves <5 ns propagation delay and eliminates false triggering caused by slow-rising edges in mixed-voltage domains. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX55C2V4 | VZ = 2.4 V ±5%, Ptot = 500 mW, but plastic DO-35 package (not hermetic); rdif = 120 Ω. | Limited long-term stability in high-humidity environments; unsuitable for aerospace or sealed medical enclosures. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs hermeticity requirement and humidity exposure is controlled. |
| 1N5221B | VZ = 2.4 V ±5%, Ptot = 500 mW, DO-35 package; higher IR = 100 µA at VR = 1 V. | Higher leakage increases error in ultra-low-power sensor biasing (<10 µA total system budget). | Choose only for non-critical consumer-grade applications where leakage impact is negligible. |
Compared with BZX55C2V4 and 1N5221B, NZX2V4B,133 offers superior long-term VZ stability due to hermetic glass packaging and lower leakage-critical for precision analog systems operating over 10+ years or in harsh environments.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current the NZX2V4B,133 can sustain without degradation?
The device is rated for a maximum forward current of 250 mA, but as a Zener diode, its safe continuous reverse current is determined by power dissipation limits. At 25 °C ambient, it supports up to 208 mA (500 mW ÷ 2.4 V) in steady-state breakdown-provided PCB layout maintains junction temperature ≤175 °C via thermal relief or airflow.
How does the temperature coefficient behave near 2.4 V, and what impact does it have on reference accuracy?
Per Figure 3 in the datasheet, the NZX2V4B,133 exhibits a near-zero temperature coefficient (~0 mV/K) between 1 mA and 10 mA Zener current, minimizing VZ drift over −40 °C to +125 °C. This enables ±0.1% reference stability in unregulated supplies without external compensation circuitry.
Can NZX2V4B,133 be used in place of a 2.5 V reference IC in a low-cost voltage monitor?
Yes, but with trade-offs: it provides 2.4 V ±5% (±0.12 V) versus typical 2.5 V ICs offering ±0.5% (±12.5 mV). Its 100 Ω dynamic impedance causes ~120 mV shift under 1.2 mA load change-acceptable for coarse fault detection but insufficient for high-resolution ADC references without buffering.
Is the SOD27 package compatible with standard wave soldering profiles?
Yes-the hermetic glass SOD27 package is qualified for standard wave soldering with peak temperatures ≤260 °C for ≤5 seconds. Lead-free assembly requires preheating to 150 °C and avoids thermal shock; the 8 mm max lead length specified ensures mechanical retention during soldering without stress fracture.
