Product details
Overview
NZX30X,133 from Nexperia is a single Zener diode in a hermetically sealed SOD27 (SC-40) glass package, designed for precision voltage regulation at 30 V nominal working voltage with ±5% tolerance (28.2–30.6 V), 100 Ω differential resistance at IZ = 2 mA, and ≤0.05 µA reverse leakage current. It delivers stable reference performance in low-power analog circuits, power supply feedback paths, and overvoltage protection nodes where thermal stability and long-term reliability are critical.
For engineers reviewing the NZX30X,133 datasheet, NZX30X,133 pinout, NZX30X,133 application, or NZX30X,133 equivalent, this device serves as a low-leakage, low-drift 30 V Zener reference with verified thermal resistance (Rth(j-a) = 380 K/W), axial-leaded SOD27 packaging, and compatibility with FR4 PCB mounting without metallization pads - key selection criteria for industrial sensor conditioning and regulated bias networks.
Technical Context
This Zener operates in reverse breakdown mode with a specified test current of 2 mA, delivering a tightly controlled 30 V nominal Zener voltage across its cathode-anode terminals. Its low differential resistance (100 Ω) ensures minimal voltage variation under load changes, while its ultra-low reverse leakage (<0.05 µA at VR = 21 V) supports high-impedance reference node integrity.
The device uses a hermetically sealed glass package to maintain parameter stability over temperature (−65 °C to +175 °C storage, −55 °C to +175 °C ambient) and lifetime. Thermal resistance from junction to ambient (380 K/W) is characterized on standard FR4 PCB with 8 mm max lead length, enabling accurate power derating in non-heatsinked applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 28.2–30.6 V at IZ = 2 mA - defines precise regulation point for feedback or clamping circuits |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | 100 Ω max at IZ = 2 mA - ensures <±30 mV output shift per ±3 mA load change |
| Reverse Leakage Current (IR) | ≤0.05 µA at VR = 21 V - preserves high-impedance node accuracy in battery-powered systems |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 500 mW at Ttp ≤ 25 °C - supports continuous operation up to 16.7 mA at 30 V without forced cooling |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | −65 °C to +175 °C - enables deployment in extended-temperature industrial environments |
| Package | SOD27 (SC-40) - axial-leaded, hermetically sealed glass housing for moisture and contamination immunity |
| Thermal Resistance (Rth(j-a)) | 380 K/W in free air on FR4 - allows direct thermal modeling for ambient-limited power handling |
Pinout & Package
SOD27 (SC-40) is a small, axial-leaded, hermetically sealed glass package with 2 leads. The black band on the body identifies the cathode terminal.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| Wide operating temperature range | −55 °C to +175 °C ambient rating supports use in motor control enclosures and outdoor instrumentation |
| Standard axial-leaded form factor | SOD27 footprint enables manual soldering, wave soldering, and compatibility with legacy through-hole PCB designs |
Applications

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener sets precise threshold for TL431-like shunt regulator action, defining error amplifier trip point. Use Value: Tight 28.2–30.6 V VZ tolerance and stable thermal coefficient minimize line/load regulation drift over temperature. |
| Overvoltage Protection Clamping | Programmable Threshold Detection |
|
Use Scenario: Clamping transient surges on 24 V DC control bus in PLC I/O modules to protect downstream logic inputs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener acts as passive crowbar element, conducting above 30.6 V to divert excess energy to ground.

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 | Same 30 V nominal, but ±5% tolerance and higher rdif (150 Ω); plastic DO-35 package | Limited to commercial-temp applications (−65 °C to +175 °C not guaranteed); lower moisture resistance | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs hermeticity and extended temperature needs |
| 1N4749A | 30 V nominal, ±5%, but higher leakage (1 µA at 21 V) and larger DO-41 package | Higher thermal resistance (500 K/W) limits power handling on compact PCBs | Choose only if existing DO-41 footprint reuse is mandatory and leakage budget permits |
Compared with BZX55-C30 and 1N4749A, NZX30X,133 offers superior long-term stability via hermetic sealing, tighter thermal resistance control (380 K/W), and lower leakage - making it preferred for industrial-grade reference and protection circuits where parameter drift must be minimized.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous Zener current for NZX30X,133 at 25 °C ambient?
At Tamb = 25 °C, the maximum continuous Zener current is 16.7 mA, calculated from Ptot = 500 mW and VZ ≈ 30 V. This assumes no additional thermal resistance beyond the specified 380 K/W junction-to-ambient value on FR4 PCB with 8 mm leads.
Does NZX30X,133 have automotive qualification?
No. NZX30X,133 is not automotive-qualified. The datasheet explicitly states that unless otherwise indicated, Nexperia products are not qualified or tested to automotive standards (AEC-Q101, ISO/TS 16949). It is intended for industrial, commercial, and general-purpose applications only.
How is polarity identified on the NZX30X,133 package?
Polarity is marked by a black band on the glass body, which designates Pin 1 (cathode). When viewed with the banded end on the left, the right-hand lead is the anode. This matches the standard SOD27 pinning diagram in the Nexperia datasheet Rev. 4.
Can NZX30X,133 be used in surface-mount designs?
No. NZX30X,133 is exclusively available in the axial-leaded SOD27 (SC-40) through-hole package. It has no surface-mount variant. For SMT Zener alternatives, consider Nexperia's BZX384 or PZM series, which offer comparable voltage ratings in SOT23 or SOD323 packages.
