Product details
Overview
NZX30B,133 from Nexperia is a single Zener diode in a hermetically sealed SOD27 (SC-40) glass package, designed for precision voltage regulation and reference functions at 30 V nominal Zener voltage with ±5% tolerance, 100 Ω typical differential resistance at IZ = 2 mA, and ≤0.05 µA reverse leakage current. It operates across −65 °C to +175 °C ambient range and supports general-purpose regulation in low-power analog circuits, power supply feedback paths, and overvoltage protection clamping.
For engineers reviewing the NZX30B,133 datasheet, NZX30B,133 pinout, NZX30B,133 application, or NZX30B,133 equivalent, this device is selected for stable 30 V Zener regulation under low-current bias conditions (IZ = 2 mA), where thermal stability, low leakage, and hermetic reliability are critical - especially in industrial sensor interfaces and legacy power rail monitoring.
Technical Context
The NZX30B,133 implements a silicon planar Zener junction optimized for stable reverse-breakdown operation at 30 V (VZ = 29.2–30.6 V at IZ = 2 mA), with temperature coefficient behavior characterized across 25–150 °C. Its low 100 Ω differential resistance ensures minimal output voltage variation under load shifts.
Thermal performance is defined by Rth(j-a) = 380 K/W in free air on FR4 PCB (8 mm lead length), limiting continuous power dissipation to 500 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C. The axial-leaded SOD27 package enables through-hole mounting with cathode polarity marked by a band.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 29.2 V to 30.6 V at IZ = 2 mA - defines precise clamping threshold for 30 V rail regulation |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | 100 Ω max at IZ = 2 mA - ensures <±30 mV output shift per ±3 mA current change |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤0.05 µA at VR = 21 V - guarantees negligible standby current in high-impedance reference nodes |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 500 mW max at Ttp ≤ 25 °C - sets absolute upper limit for continuous DC power handling |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | −65 °C to +175 °C - enables operation in extended-temperature industrial environments |
| Package | SOD27 (SC-40) - hermetically sealed axial glass package with cathode band marking |
Pinout & Package
SOD27 (SC-40) is a small hermetically sealed glass axial-leaded package with 2 terminals; cathode is identified by a colored band on the body.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode | Connected to regulated output node; reverse-biased terminal during Zener operation |
| 2 | Anode | Connected to ground or lower-potential reference; forward conduction path when biased positively |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hermetic glass sealing | Prevents moisture ingress and long-term parameter drift in humid or harsh environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX55-C30 (ON Semiconductor) | VZ = 28.5–31.5 V (±5%), rdif = 100 Ω max at IZ = 5 mA, Ptot = 500 mW, DO-35 package | Higher test current (5 mA vs. 2 mA) yields different dynamic impedance curve; DO-35 has slightly higher Rth(j-a) | Select when existing layout uses DO-35 footprint and 5 mA bias is available |
| 1N4749A (Vishay) | VZ = 28.5–31.5 V (±5%), rdif = 35 Ω max at IZ = 20 mA, Ptot = 1 W, DO-41 package | Lower rdif but requires 20 mA bias; 1 W rating demands larger PCB copper area for thermal management | Select only if higher power margin and tighter regulation under heavy load are required |
Compared with BZX55-C30 and 1N4749A, NZX30B,133 offers superior low-current regulation (2 mA test point), hermetic reliability, and optimized thermal resistance for compact industrial PCBs - making it preferred for space-constrained, low-bias, high-stability applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage (VR) before breakdown for NZX30B,133?
The rated Zener voltage is specified at 29.2–30.6 V under 2 mA test current. Breakdown begins near the lower limit (29.2 V), with full regulation established above 29.5 V. The device is not rated for sustained operation below its specified VZ range - reverse voltage below 21 V yields ≤0.05 µA leakage, per datasheet Table 9.
Can NZX30B,133 be used in surface-mount designs?
No - NZX30B,133 uses the axial-leaded SOD27 (SC-40) glass package, designed exclusively for through-hole mounting. Its leads are not compatible with reflow soldering or pick-and-place automation. For SMT alternatives, consider Nexperia's BZX384-B30 (SOD-323) or BZX84-C30 (SOT-23), which differ in power rating, leakage, and thermal performance.
How does temperature affect the Zener voltage of NZX30B,133?
At 30 V nominal, NZX30B,133 exhibits a positive temperature coefficient (TC) of approximately +12 mV/K near IZ = 2 mA, as shown in Figure 4 of the datasheet. This means VZ increases ~12 mV per °C rise in junction temperature - critical for precision references where thermal gradients must be minimized or compensated.
Is NZX30B,133 suitable for automotive applications?
No - the NZX_SER datasheet explicitly states "Non-automotive qualified products" and confirms no AEC-Q101 qualification or automotive-specific testing. Its temperature range (−65 °C to +175 °C) exceeds automotive ambient requirements, but reliability validation, PPAP documentation, and failure rate data are not provided for automotive use cases.
