Product details
Overview
PDZ33BGWX from Nexperia is a single Zener diode in SOD123 package, designed for precision voltage regulation and reference applications at nominal 33 V with ±2 % tolerance (B2 series), 40 W non-repetitive peak reverse power dissipation, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use.
For engineers reviewing the PDZ33BGWX datasheet, PDZ33BGWX pinout, PDZ33BGWX application, or PDZ33BGWX equivalent, this device supports stable low-power voltage clamping, overvoltage protection, and biasing in space-constrained SMT designs requiring tight Zener voltage accuracy and thermal reliability.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with a nominal working voltage of 33 V at IZ = 5 mA, exhibiting a typical differential resistance of 250 Ω and temperature coefficient of +29.7 mV/K. It maintains stable regulation under transient surges up to 100 μs pulse width.
Thermal performance is defined by Rth(j-a) = 340 K/W (free air) and Rth(j-sp) = 50 K/W (cathode solder point), enabling reliable operation up to Tj = 150 °C. Reverse current is limited to ≤0.05 μA at VR = 25 V (Tj = 25 °C).

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C33 | Same 33 V nominal, ±5 % tolerance, SOT23 package, Ptot = 300 mW, no AEC-Q101 qualification | Limited to commercial-grade consumer electronics; lacks automotive thermal and reliability validation | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive qualification and tighter tolerance requirements |
| MMSZ5259B | 33 V nominal, ±5 % tolerance, SOD123 package, Ptot = 500 mW, no AEC-Q101, higher IR (≤1 μA) | Higher power handling but greater leakage compromises low-power sensor biasing | Prefer where ambient temperature exceeds 105 °C and leakage is not critical |
Compared with BZX84-C33 and MMSZ5259B, PDZ33BGWX delivers tighter ±2 % voltage control, AEC-Q101 compliance, and lower leakage-making it uniquely suitable for automotive and precision industrial voltage reference roles where long-term stability and regulatory validation are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current the PDZ33BGWX can sustain at 25 °C?
The PDZ33BGWX has no specified maximum continuous reverse current rating; its operation is defined by power limits. At 33 V Zener voltage, the maximum continuous reverse current is derived from Ptot = 365 mW, yielding IZ ≈ 11 mA (365 mW ÷ 33 V). Exceeding this risks thermal runaway without adequate PCB copper area.
How does the +29.7 mV/K temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy over −40 °C to +125 °C?
Over that range, the Zener voltage shifts by approximately +2.9 V (29.7 mV/K × 99 K), resulting in a final value near 35.9 V. This drift is predictable and linear, allowing compensation in closed-loop systems-but makes PDZ33BGWX unsuitable as a standalone precision reference outside narrow temperature bands.
Can PDZ33BGWX replace PDZ33B in existing SOD123 footprints?
Yes-PDZ33BGWX shares identical SOD123 mechanical dimensions, pinout (cathode/anode), and thermal pad layout with PDZ33B. The "X" suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging per JEDEC J-STD-020; electrical and reliability specs are identical per Rev. 1 datasheet.
Is the 40 W non-repetitive peak power rating valid for multiple pulses separated by seconds?
No-the 40 W rating applies only to single, isolated pulses ≤100 μs duration with Tj = 25 °C prior to surge. For repeated pulses, junction temperature rise must be calculated using Rth(j-a) = 340 K/W; cumulative heating requires derating per Figure 1's PZSM vs. tp curve.
