Product details
Overview
NZX5V1B,133 from Nexperia is a single Zener diode in a hermetically sealed SOD27 (SC-40) axial glass package, designed for precision voltage regulation at 4.9–5.1 V nominal Zener voltage with 2 Ω typical differential resistance and ≤2 µA reverse leakage at 5 mA test current. It delivers stable reference performance in low-power analog circuits, power supply feedback paths, and overvoltage protection clamps.
For engineers reviewing the NZX5V1B,133 datasheet, NZX5V1B,133 pinout, NZX5V1B,133 application, or NZX5V1B,133 equivalent, this part supports design validation of ±1% tolerance Zener references, thermal-stable biasing under 175 °C junction temperature, and compact axial-leaded replacement in legacy regulator designs requiring 500 mW total power dissipation.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with a specified working voltage of 4.9–5.1 V at IZ = 5 mA, exhibiting low dynamic impedance (≤100 Ω max, 2 Ω typ) and minimal temperature coefficient variation across its operating range. Its glass-sealed SOD27 construction ensures long-term parameter stability and hermetic reliability in harsh ambient conditions.
The device complies with IEC 60134 absolute maximum ratings, supporting continuous forward current up to 250 mA and junction temperatures up to 175 °C. Thermal resistance from junction to ambient is 380 K/W in free air on FR4 PCB, enabling predictable derating in unheatsinked applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 4.9–5.1 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines precise regulation threshold for feedback and clamp circuits |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | ≤100 Ω (max), 2 Ω (typ) - ensures minimal output voltage shift under load current variation |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤2 µA at VR = 4.5 V - guarantees low standby power loss in high-impedance reference nodes |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 500 mW at Ttp ≤ 25 °C - sets maximum continuous DC or pulsed power handling capability |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | −65 to +175 °C - enables operation in extended industrial and automotive-adjacent environments |
| Thermal Resistance (Rth(j-a)) | 380 K/W in free air - determines required ambient cooling for safe thermal margin at rated power |
Pinout & Package

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hermetic glass sealing | Prevents moisture ingress and parameter drift over time, critical for long-life industrial instrumentation |

Applications
| Power Supply Feedback | Overvoltage Clamp |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Used in the feedback divider of isolated DC-DC converters to regulate output voltage accuracy. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Shunt voltage reference providing stable 5.0 V reference point for optocoupler-driven error amplifiers. Use Value: ±1% VZ tolerance and low rdif maintain <±1.5% output regulation across line/load/temperature. |
Use Scenario: Placed across sensitive IC inputs to limit transient overvoltage events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-acting crowbar element that conducts above 5.1 V to divert surge current away from downstream logic. Use Value: 2 Ω dynamic impedance ensures clamping voltage stays within 5.3 V at 100 mA surge, protecting 5 V tolerant interfaces. |
| Reference Voltage Source | Current Source Bias |
|
Use Scenario: Provides stable bias for op-amp comparators and ADC reference buffers in sensor signal chains. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-noise, low-drift voltage node for precision analog front-ends requiring sub-10 ppm/°C stability. Use Value: ≤2 µA leakage avoids loading high-impedance dividers; glass package ensures long-term VZ repeatability. |
Use Scenario: Sets constant current through LED strings or transistor bias networks via series resistor. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fixed-voltage drop element establishing IOUT = (VZ − VBE)/R in simple current mirrors. Use Value: Tight 4.9–5.1 V tolerance yields ±2% current accuracy without trimming; 500 mW rating supports >100 mA designs. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX55C5V1 | Plastic DO-35 package; 5.1 V nominal, ±5% tolerance; rdif ≤ 600 Ω | Lower cost but higher leakage (≤5 µA) and wider VZ tolerance reduces precision in feedback loops | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs regulation accuracy and long-term stability requirements |
| 1N4733A | DO-41 package; 5.1 V nominal, ±5% tolerance; Ptot = 1 W; rdif ≤ 7 Ω | Higher power rating suits higher-current clamps but larger footprint limits board space-constrained designs | Choose for >500 mW continuous dissipation needs where axial lead spacing allows DO-41 mounting |
Compared with BZX55C5V1 and 1N4733A, NZX5V1B,133 offers tighter ±1% VZ tolerance, lower leakage, and hermetic reliability-making it optimal for precision regulation where parameter stability over temperature and lifetime is critical.

FAQ
What is the exact Zener voltage tolerance for NZX5V1B,133 at 5 mA test current?
The NZX5V1B,133 has a guaranteed Zener voltage range of 4.9 V to 5.1 V at IZ = 5 mA, corresponding to ±1% tolerance about the nominal 5.0 V value. This tight specification is confirmed in Table 8 of the official Nexperia datasheet Rev. 4 (2011), and applies under standard Tj = 25 °C conditions.
Can NZX5V1B,133 be used in surface-mount designs?
No-NZX5V1B,133 uses the axial-leaded SOD27 (SC-40) glass package and is not compatible with SMT assembly. It requires through-hole mounting with 25.4 mm lead spacing. For surface-mount equivalents, consider Nexperia's BZX384-B5V1 (SOD-323) or PZM5.1NB (SOT-23), which offer similar electrical specs in tape-and-reel formats.
What is the maximum allowable forward current for NZX5V1B,133?
The absolute maximum forward current is 250 mA, per Table 5 (Limiting Values) in the Nexperia datasheet. However, forward conduction is not its intended operating mode; sustained forward bias above ~1.5 V should be avoided to prevent degradation of Zener characteristics and long-term reliability.
Does NZX5V1B,133 have automotive qualification?
No-NZX5V1B,133 is not AEC-Q200 qualified. The datasheet explicitly states "Non-automotive qualified products" and warns against use in safety-critical or automotive applications unless separately validated by the customer. Its 175 °C junction rating supports under-hood ambient conditions, but qualification testing is not performed or guaranteed.
