Product details
Overview
NZX8V2B,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 5 mA test current, 20 Ω typical differential resistance, ≤0.7 µA reverse leakage at 5 V, and 500 mW total power dissipation - deployed in low-power analog reference circuits and overvoltage protection stages of industrial sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the NZX8V2B,133 datasheet, NZX8V2B,133 pinout, NZX8V2B,133 application, or NZX8V2B,133 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy at IZ = 5 mA, thermal resistance (Rth(j-a) = 380 K/W), axial-leaded SOD27 mechanical compatibility, and low-leakage performance under ambient temperature extremes (−55 °C to +175 °C).
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference where reverse-biased breakdown provides stable DC regulation. Its Zener voltage is specified at IZ = 5 mA with a temperature coefficient of approximately −2 mV/K near 8.2 V, and it exhibits low dynamic impedance (20 Ω typ.) ensuring minimal output variation under load transients.
The SOD27 package enables axial mounting on FR4 PCBs without thermal pads, supporting junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 380 K/W in free air. Absolute maximum ratings include 250 mA forward current, 175 °C junction temperature, and 500 mW total power dissipation - defining safe operating boundaries for continuous and pulsed operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 7.9 V to 8.3 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines tight regulation window for 8.2 V nominal reference |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | 20 Ω typical at IZ = 5 mA - ensures low output impedance for stable voltage under varying load |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤0.7 µA at VR = 5 V - minimizes quiescent current in battery-powered or high-impedance bias networks |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 500 mW at Ttp ≤ 25 °C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling on standard FR4 board |
| Thermal Resistance (Rth(j-a)) | 380 K/W in free air - determines junction temperature rise per watt, critical for reliability at elevated ambient |
| Junction Temperature Range | −65 °C to +175 °C - supports operation in harsh industrial and automotive-adjacent environments |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | ≤1.5 V at IF = 200 mA - defines conduction threshold when used in polarity-protection or clamping roles |
Pinout & Package
The NZX8V2B,133 uses a hermetically sealed SOD27 (SC-40) axial-glass package with 2 leads: cathode marked by a band, anode unmarked. Mounting requires ≤8 mm lead length on FR4 PCB without metallization pad.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (banded end) | Cathode | Connected to regulated output node; reverse-bias terminal where Zener breakdown occurs |
| 2 (unmarked end) | Anode | Connected to circuit ground or lower-potential rail; completes bias path during regulation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hermetic glass sealing | Prevents moisture ingress and long-term parameter drift in humid or corrosive environments |
| Low differential resistance (20 Ω) | Reduces output voltage deviation under ±1 mA load current changes in precision references |
| Low leakage (≤0.7 µA @ 5 V) | Enables use in ultra-low-power monitoring circuits where standby current must stay below 1 µA |
| Wide operating temperature range | Supports deployment in industrial control cabinets and outdoor sensor enclosures without derating |
| Axial SOD27 mechanical form | Allows manual soldering, wave soldering, and compatibility with legacy through-hole assembly lines |
Applications
| Industrial Sensor Reference | Overvoltage Clamp for MCU I/O |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Providing stable 8.2 V reference for 12-bit ADC biasing in temperature transmitter modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Two-terminal shunt voltage reference establishing precise input scaling for analog front-end conditioning. Use Value: Tight 7.9–8.3 V tolerance and 20 Ω rdif ensure ADC full-scale error remains <0.25% across 0–70 °C ambient. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX55-C8V2 | Same 8.2 V nominal, but ±5% tolerance and higher rdif (35 Ω typ.); plastic DO-35 package | Limited to non-hermetic, cost-sensitive consumer designs; lower thermal stability | Choose for lower-cost alternatives where hermeticity and <20 Ω impedance are not required |
| 1N4736A | 8.2 V nominal, ±5%, but 500 mW rating at 25 °C only; larger DO-41 package; rdif = 7 Ω | Better regulation at higher currents, but less suitable for compact axial layouts and high-temp operation | Prefer when lower dynamic impedance is critical and board space allows DO-41 footprint |
Compared with BZX55-C8V2 and 1N4736A, NZX8V2B,133 offers superior thermal stability (175 °C max Tj), hermetic reliability, and optimized rdif for low-current precision references - making it preferred for industrial sensing and long-life embedded systems.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for NZX8V2B,133 at 5 mA test current?
The NZX8V2B,133 has a nominal Zener voltage of 8.2 V with a guaranteed range of 7.9 V to 8.3 V at IZ = 5 mA, corresponding to ±5% tolerance as defined in Table 8 of the Nexperia datasheet Rev. 4.
Can NZX8V2B,133 be used in surface-mount designs?
No - NZX8V2B,133 uses an axial-leaded SOD27 (SC-40) glass package intended for through-hole mounting. It lacks SMD-compatible terminations or reflow-suitable construction, and its thermal profile is validated only for leaded PCB assembly.
What is the maximum allowable forward current for this Zener diode?
The absolute maximum forward current is 250 mA, as specified in Table 5 (Limiting Values). This rating applies under continuous DC conditions with proper PCB thermal management per Nexperia's FR4 mounting guidelines.
How does the temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy above 25 °C?
At 8.2 V, the NZX8V2B,133 exhibits a negative temperature coefficient of approximately −2 mV/K (Fig 4), meaning VZ decreases ~2 mV per °C rise. For example, at 75 °C ambient, VZ drops ~100 mV from its 25 °C value - requiring system-level compensation in precision references.
