Product details
Overview
NZX7V5B,133 from Nexperia is a single Zener diode in a hermetically sealed SOD27 (SC-40) glass package, designed for precision voltage regulation at 7.5 V nominal working voltage with ±5% tolerance (7.07–7.45 V), 15 Ω differential resistance at IZ = 5 mA, and ≤1 µA reverse leakage current. It delivers stable reference performance in low-power analog circuits, power supply feedback loops, and overvoltage protection stages.
For engineers reviewing the NZX7V5B,133 datasheet, NZX7V5B,133 pinout, NZX7V5B,133 application, or NZX7V5B,133 equivalent, this component serves as a cost-effective, thermally robust, axial-leaded Zener solution where tight voltage tolerance, low dynamic impedance, and long-term stability under ambient temperatures from −55 °C to +175 °C are required.
Technical Context
This Zener operates in reverse breakdown mode with a specified test current of 5 mA, exhibiting a temperature coefficient near zero around 7.5 V-enabling minimal drift across operating temperature ranges. Its junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is 380 K/W in free air on FR4 PCB, supporting reliable operation without heatsinking in low-dissipation designs.
The device complies with IEC 60134 absolute maximum ratings: 500 mW total power dissipation at Ttp ≤ 25 °C, 250 mA forward current limit, and 175 °C maximum junction temperature. The cathode is marked by a band on the glass body, confirming unambiguous polarity identification for manual or automated assembly.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 7.07–7.45 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines precise regulation window for feedback or clamping |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | 15 Ω max at IZ = 5 mA - ensures minimal output voltage variation under load changes |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤1 µA at VR = 5 V - guarantees negligible standby current in high-impedance bias networks |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 500 mW at Ttp ≤ 25 °C - sets safe DC/continuous operating limit without derating |
| Thermal Resistance (Rth(j-a)) | 380 K/W in free air - determines junction temperature rise per watt, critical for reliability margining |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | ≤1.5 V at IF = 200 mA - supports use as low-drop rectifier or clamp in dual-role circuits |
| Operating Temperature | −55 °C to +175 °C ambient - enables deployment in industrial, automotive under-hood, and aerospace environments |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOD27 (SC-40), hermetically sealed axial-leaded glass package with 25.4 mm minimum lead length and 4.25 mm maximum body diameter. Cathode identified by single black band.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (banded end) | Cathode | Connected to regulated output node; accepts reverse-bias voltage for Zener conduction |
| 2 (non-banded end) | Anode | Ground or lower-potential reference point; completes current path during regulation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hermetic glass sealing | Prevents moisture ingress and parameter drift over decades in harsh environments |
| Low differential resistance | 15 Ω enables <15 mV output shift per 1 mA load change-critical for precision references |
| Low leakage current | ≤1 µA at 5 V reverse bias minimizes error in high-impedance divider networks |
| Wide temperature range | −55 °C to +175 °C operation supports deployment in engine control units and downhole tools |
| Standard axial lead form factor | Enables compatibility with legacy through-hole assembly lines and hand-soldering workflows |
Applications
| Power Supply Feedback Regulation | Overvoltage Clamp Protection |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Stabilizing output voltage in linear regulators or switching converter feedback paths using resistive dividers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides precise 7.5 V reference point to error amplifier input. Use Value: Tight 7.07–7.45 V tolerance and 15 Ω rdif ensure ±1% output regulation accuracy under line/load transients. |
Use Scenario: Limiting transient voltage spikes on microcontroller I/O lines or sensor inputs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Shunts excess energy to ground when voltage exceeds 7.45 V. Use Value: Sub-µA leakage preserves signal integrity at rest; fast response prevents latch-up in 3.3 V/5 V systems. |
| Reference Voltage Source | Current Source Biasing |
|
Use Scenario: Generating stable bias voltages for op-amp comparators or ADC reference buffers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Delivers low-noise, temperature-stable 7.5 V node independent of supply ripple. Use Value: Near-zero tempco at 7.5 V and 380 K/W Rth(j-a) maintain <±0.5% drift from −40 °C to +85 °C. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX55C7V5 | Plastic DO-35 package; 7.3–7.7 V tolerance; 20 Ω rdif; 10 µA IR at 5 V | Lower cost but higher leakage and wider VZ spread; unsuitable for precision biasing | Select when cost dominates and ±5% regulation is acceptable |
| 1N4733A | DO-41 package; 7.14–7.86 V tolerance; 35 Ω rdif; 10 µA IR at 5 V; 1 W rating | Higher power handling but looser tolerance and poorer stability; requires heatsinking above 250 mW | Select only for higher-power clamping where 7.5 V nominal is secondary to thermal margin |
Compared with BZX55C7V5 and 1N4733A, NZX7V5B,133 offers superior voltage accuracy, lower dynamic impedance, and hermetic reliability-making it optimal for space-constrained, high-stability analog designs where long-term parameter drift must be minimized.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for NZX7V5B,133?
The NZX7V5B,133 has a nominal Zener voltage of 7.5 V with a guaranteed range of 7.07 V to 7.45 V at IZ = 5 mA, corresponding to a ±5% tolerance band as defined in Table 8 of the Nexperia datasheet Rev. 4.
Can NZX7V5B,133 be used in surface-mount designs?
No-NZX7V5B,133 uses an axial-leaded SOD27 (SC-40) glass package with 25.4 mm minimum lead length, intended exclusively for through-hole mounting. It lacks solder pads or land patterns compatible with reflow or wave soldering processes.
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation at 85 °C ambient?
At 85 °C ambient, the device's power rating must be derated linearly from 500 mW at 25 °C using its 380 K/W Rth(j-a). Maximum continuous dissipation is 316 mW, calculated as 500 mW × (1 − (85 − 25)/380).
How is polarity identified on the NZX7V5B,133 package?
Polarity is marked by a single black band on the glass body, indicating the cathode terminal. Pin 1 (banded end) connects to the cathode; Pin 2 (unmarked end) is the anode-consistent with standard diode marking conventions and confirmed in Table 2 of the datasheet.
