Product details
Overview
PDZ33B,115 from Nexperia is a single silicon Zener diode designed for low-power voltage regulation in space-constrained SMD applications, with a nominal Zener voltage of 33 V at 5 mA, ±2 % tolerance, 250 Ω maximum differential resistance at 0.5 mA, 0.05 μA maximum reverse leakage at 25 V, and 400 mW total power dissipation on FR4 PCB.
For engineers reviewing the PDZ33B,115 datasheet, PDZ33B,115 pinout, PDZ33B,115 application, or PDZ33B,115 equivalent, this device is selected for precision clamping, reference voltage generation, and overvoltage protection where tight voltage stability, low thermal drift (29.7 mV/K), and SOD323 footprint compatibility are critical.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable DC voltage across its terminals under varying load or supply conditions. Its hard breakdown knee and low dynamic impedance ensure predictable regulation even at low bias currents (IZ = 0.5 mA).
Thermal performance is defined by junction-to-solder-point resistance of 130 K/W and junction-to-ambient resistance of 340 K/W on standard FR4 PCB, enabling reliable operation up to +150 °C junction temperature with appropriate derating above 25 °C ambient.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 32.15 V to 33.79 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines precise clamping threshold for 33 V nominal systems |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | ≤250 Ω at IZ = 0.5 mA - ensures minimal voltage shift under small current variations |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤0.05 μA at VR = 25 V - enables ultra-low standby power loss in battery-backed circuits |
| Temperature Coefficient (SZ) | +25.0 to +29.7 mV/K - supports stable regulation across industrial temperature range with known linear drift |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 400 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C on FR4 PCB - sets maximum continuous power handling before thermal derating applies |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | ≤0.9 V at IF = 10 mA - confirms low-loss forward conduction when used bidirectionally or in protection paths |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | −65 °C to +150 °C - validates suitability for extended-temperature industrial environments |
Pinout & Package
PDZ33B,115 is housed in a SOD323 (SC-76) surface-mount plastic package measuring 1.8 mm × 1.35 mm × 0.95 mm, with cathode indicated by a marking bar on the device body.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (K) | Connected to regulated output node; reverse-biased terminal where Zener breakdown occurs |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; completes reverse-bias path for regulation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-profile SMD package | SOD323 footprint enables high-density PCB layouts without through-hole mounting |
| Hard breakdown knee | Sharp, well-defined Zener transition improves regulation accuracy at low currents |
| ±2 % voltage tolerance | Reduces need for post-production trimming in precision reference designs |
| Very low leakage current | 0.05 μA max at 25 V supports energy-sensitive applications like IoT sensors |
| Stable temperature coefficient | +29.7 mV/K allows predictable compensation in temperature-varying environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX384-B33,115 | Same SOD323 package; tighter ±1 % tolerance; higher Ptot = 300 mW (not 400 mW); 200 Ω rdif at 5 mA | Better initial accuracy but lower power headroom; less suitable for sustained 33 V/10 mA loads | Select when absolute voltage precision outweighs power margin requirements |
| MMBZ5265B-7-F | SOT-23 package; ±5 % tolerance; 200 mW Ptot; 700 Ω rdif at 20 mA; different thermal resistance | Larger footprint; looser tolerance; higher impedance limits low-current regulation fidelity | Choose only if SOT-23 is mandated by legacy layout or assembly constraints |
Compared with BZX384-B33,115 and MMBZ5265B-7-F, PDZ33B,115 offers the highest power rating (400 mW) and lowest differential resistance (250 Ω) in SOD323, making it optimal for thermally constrained, medium-current regulation where stability at low bias matters.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse current the PDZ33B,115 can handle during transient events?
The PDZ33B,115 supports a non-repetitive peak reverse current (IZSM) of 0.9 A for 100 µs square-wave pulses at 25 °C ambient, verified per IEC 60134 limiting values. This capability enables effective clamping of short-duration surges without degradation, provided thermal recovery time between events is observed.
How does the temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy over −40 °C to +85 °C?
With a specified temperature coefficient of +29.7 mV/K, the Zener voltage shifts approximately +1.8 V across a 60 K span (e.g., −40 °C to +20 °C). For applications demanding tighter stability, this drift must be compensated in system-level calibration or mitigated via thermal management-no internal compensation is provided.
Can PDZ33B,115 be used in parallel for higher power dissipation?
No-Zener diodes exhibit manufacturing spread in breakdown voltage, causing current hogging when paralleled. Even matched units risk thermal runaway due to positive temperature coefficient above ~5 V. For >400 mW needs, use a single higher-rated device or an active regulator instead.
Is the SOD323 footprint compatible with automated reflow soldering processes?
Yes-the device follows JEDEC SC-76 standards and Nexperia's recommended reflow footprint (Fig. 9), with 0.5 mm pad width, 1.65 mm pad length, and 2.2 mm center-to-center spacing. Compatible with standard lead-free reflow profiles (peak 260 °C, 30 s above 217 °C) when using appropriate stencil design.
