Product details
Overview
NZX5V6B,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 5.6 V nominal Zener voltage with ±5% tolerance, 40 Ω differential resistance at IZ = 5 mA, and ≤1 µA reverse leakage current. It operates across −55 °C to +175 °C ambient temperature and supports general-purpose regulation in low-power analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the NZX5V6B,133 datasheet, NZX5V6B,133 pinout, NZX5V6B,133 application, or NZX5V6B,133 equivalent, this device serves as a stable, low-leakage, low-impedance voltage reference for power supply feedback, overvoltage clamping, and signal conditioning where thermal stability and long-term reliability in axial-leaded glass packages are required.
Technical Context
This Zener diode employs a planar silicon junction optimized for tight voltage tolerance and low dynamic impedance. Its 5.6 V nominal Zener voltage falls in the region of near-zero temperature coefficient (≈0 mV/K at IZ ≈ 5 mA), minimizing drift over temperature in reference applications.
The SOD27 package provides hermetic sealing and axial leads suitable for through-hole mounting on FR4 PCBs. Thermal resistance from junction to ambient is 380 K/W in free air, enabling reliable operation up to 175 °C junction temperature under Ptot ≤ 500 mW.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 5.3 V to 5.6 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines precise regulation point with minimal temperature-induced shift |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | 40 Ω max at IZ = 5 mA - ensures stable output under small-signal load variations |
| Reverse Leakage Current (IR) | ≤1 µA at VR = 2 V - enables low-power standby operation without significant quiescent loss |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 500 mW at Ttp ≤ 25 °C - supports continuous DC regulation in compact layouts without forced cooling |
| Junction Temperature Range (Tj) | −65 °C to +175 °C - allows deployment in industrial, automotive under-hood, and high-reliability environments |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | ≤1.5 V at IF = 200 mA - permits use as a low-drop rectifier or clamp in bidirectional protection schemes |
Pinout & Package
The NZX5V6B,133 uses a two-terminal axial-leaded SOD27 (SC-40) hermetically sealed glass package. The cathode is marked by a colored band on the glass body; leads are uncoated tinned copper.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (banded end) | Cathode | Connected to regulated output node; accepts reverse-bias voltage for Zener breakdown conduction |
| 2 (unbanded end) | Anode | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; completes bias path during regulation or clamping |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hermetic glass encapsulation | Prevents moisture ingress and long-term parameter drift in humid or harsh environments |
| Low differential resistance (40 Ω) | Minimizes output voltage variation under changing load currents in feedback loops |
| Near-zero temperature coefficient | Stabilizes reference voltage across −40 °C to +125 °C operating range without external compensation |
| High surge robustness (tp ≤ 300 µs) | Withstands transient overvoltages in ESD-prone interfaces and power-line surges |
Applications
| Power Supply Feedback | Overvoltage Clamp |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Regulating output voltage in linear regulators or switching converter feedback networks. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener diode acts as precision voltage reference in error amplifier feedback path.

Use Scenario: Protecting microcontroller I/O pins from voltage spikes exceeding 5.6 V. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Cathode tied to protected node; anode grounded to shunt excess energy. Use Value: ≤1 µA leakage preserves high-impedance input integrity; 500 mW rating handles short-duration surges. |
| Reference Voltage Source | Signal Level Shifting |
|
Use Scenario: Providing stable 5.6 V reference for ADCs, comparators, or sensor excitation circuits. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener supplies fixed bias point independent of supply rail fluctuations. Use Value: Near-zero TC and 40 Ω rdif reduce measurement error drift to <0.5 mV/°C over full temperature range. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Used in series with resistor to generate offset voltage or clamp swing amplitude. Use Value: Low forward voltage (≤1.5 V) and sharp reverse knee enable clean level translation without distortion. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX55-C5V6 (ON Semiconductor) | Same 5.6 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, but higher rdif (60 Ω) and higher IR (≤5 µA at 2 V) | Suitable for cost-sensitive non-critical regulation; less stable under varying load | Select when budget constraints outweigh need for ultra-low impedance or leakage |
| 1N4734A (Vishay) | 5.6 V nominal, ±5%, but TO-204AA (DO-41) metal-glass package; Ptot = 1 W, rdif = 5 Ω | Better thermal performance and lower impedance, but larger footprint and higher cost | Select when higher power handling or tighter regulation is required and board space permits |
Compared with BZX55-C5V6 and 1N4734A, NZX5V6B,133 offers superior leakage control and hermetic reliability in a compact axial package-ideal for space-constrained, long-life industrial designs where parameter stability outweighs raw power capacity.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current the NZX5V6B,133 can sustain without degradation?
The device is rated for a maximum total power dissipation of 500 mW at Ttp ≤ 25 °C. At its nominal 5.6 V Zener voltage, this corresponds to a continuous reverse current limit of approximately 89 mA (500 mW ÷ 5.6 V). Derating is required above 25 °C per the 380 K/W thermal resistance specification.
Does the NZX5V6B,133 meet automotive qualification standards?
No. The NZX5V6B,133 is not automotive-qualified. Per Nexperia's legal disclaimers, it is neither tested nor warranted for automotive use, including under-hood or safety-critical systems. For automotive applications, consult Nexperia's AEC-Q101 qualified Zener portfolio.
How is polarity identified on the NZX5V6B,133 package?
The cathode is indicated by a visible color band (typically black or dark stripe) on the glass body. Pin 1 (cathode) is the banded end; Pin 2 (anode) is the unbanded end. This marking aligns with standard diode polarity conventions and is confirmed in the official pinning diagram (Figure 2).
Can NZX5V6B,133 be used in parallel for higher current capability?
No. Zener diodes must not be paralleled without individual ballasting resistors due to mismatched breakdown voltages-even within the same batch. The NZX5V6B,133 has no built-in current-sharing mechanism; unbalanced conduction would cause thermal runaway in one device.
