Product details
Overview
NZX8V2A,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 8.2 V nominal Zener voltage with ±5% tolerance. It delivers 20 Ω typical differential resistance at IZ = 5 mA, supports up to 500 mW total power dissipation, and exhibits low reverse leakage (≤0.7 µA at VR = 5 V), making it suitable for low-power analog reference and overvoltage clamp circuits in industrial sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the NZX8V2A,133 datasheet, NZX8V2A,133 pinout, NZX8V2A,133 application, or NZX8V2A,133 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, thermal resistance (Rth(j-a) = 380 K/W), axial-leaded SOD27 package compatibility with through-hole PCB layouts, and compliance with IEC 60134 absolute maximum ratings for ambient temperature (−55 °C to +175 °C).
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with a specified working voltage of 7.7–8.3 V at IZ = 5 mA, exhibiting a temperature coefficient near zero at this current level per Fig 4. Its low 20 Ω differential resistance ensures stable regulation under small-signal load variations, while the 380 K/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance reflects performance on FR4 PCBs without copper pads.
The device uses axial leads with cathode indicated by a band, conforms to IEC 60134 limiting values (Ptot ≤ 500 mW, Tj ≤ 175 °C), and is rated for storage and operation across −65 °C to +175 °C - enabling use in extended-temperature industrial environments where hermetic sealing prevents moisture-induced parameter drift.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 7.7–8.3 V at IZ = 5 mA; defines precise clamping threshold for voltage reference and protection circuits |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | 20 Ω typical at IZ = 5 mA; determines regulation stiffness against load current changes |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤0.7 µA at VR = 5 V; minimizes standby power loss in high-impedance bias networks |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 500 mW at Ttp ≤ 25 °C; sets maximum continuous DC or pulsed power handling capability |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | −65 °C to +175 °C; enables operation in harsh thermal environments without derating below 25 °C ambient |
| Thermal Resistance (Rth(j-a)) | 380 K/W in free air on FR4 PCB; informs thermal design margin for sustained power delivery |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX55-C8V2 (Vishay) | Same 8.2 V nominal VZ, but 500 mW rating in DO-35 package; rdif = 35 Ω (vs. 20 Ω); Rth(j-a) = 500 K/W | Higher thermal resistance limits sustained power in compact layouts; less stable regulation under dynamic loads | Select when DO-35 footprint is required and thermal margin exceeds 20 K/W above NZX8V2A,133 |
| 1N4736A (ON Semiconductor) | 8.2 V VZ, 1 W rating in DO-41; rdif = 7 Ω; Rth(j-a) = 150 K/W; larger axial package | Higher power capability and lower impedance suit higher-current references but require more board space | Choose for >500 mW average dissipation or when tighter regulation (<5 mV/1 mA) is mandatory |
Compared with BZX55-C8V2 and 1N4736A, NZX8V2A,133 offers optimal balance of low differential resistance, hermetic reliability, and compact SOD27 footprint - ideal for space-constrained industrial designs requiring stable 8.2 V reference without thermal derating penalties.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current for NZX8V2A,133?
The absolute maximum forward current is 250 mA per Table 5. However, forward conduction is not its intended operating mode; the device is optimized for reverse-bias Zener regulation. Sustained forward current above 200 mA risks thermal runaway due to low forward voltage (≤1.5 V at 200 mA) and limited heat dissipation in the SOD27 package.
Can NZX8V2A,133 be used in surface-mount designs?
No - NZX8V2A,133 uses axial leads in the SOD27 (SC-40) through-hole package and is not compatible with SMT reflow or pick-and-place processes. For surface-mount equivalents, consider Nexperia's BZX384-B8V2 (SOD-323) or PZM8.2NB (SOT-23), which offer similar electrical specs but different thermal and mechanical characteristics.
How does the temperature coefficient behave at 8.2 V nominal Zener voltage?
Per Figure 4, the NZX8V2A exhibits near-zero temperature coefficient (≈0 mV/K) at IZ = 5 mA, meaning its Zener voltage remains stable across −55 °C to +175 °C ambient when biased at this current. Deviation increases significantly below 2 mA or above 10 mA, so stable biasing is critical for precision applications.
Is NZX8V2A,133 automotive qualified?
No - this part is explicitly designated as non-automotive qualified per Nexperia's legal disclaimers. It lacks AEC-Q200 stress testing, automotive-grade traceability, and extended reliability validation. For automotive Zener applications, select Nexperia's Automotive Qualified (AQ) series such as PZM8.2AQB or BZX84-A8V2.
