Product details
Overview
PDZ4.7BGW from Nexperia is a single Zener diode in SOD123 package, designed for precision voltage regulation and reference functions at 4.7 V nominal Zener voltage with ±2 % tolerance (B-series), 90 Ω maximum differential resistance at IZ = 5 mA, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability. It operates with low reverse current (≤2 μA at VR = 3.76 V) and supports surge handling up to 40 W non-repetitive peak power.
For engineers reviewing the PDZ4.7BGW datasheet, PDZ4.7BGW pinout, PDZ4.7BGW application, or PDZ4.7BGW equivalent, this device is selected for stable low-voltage reference generation, overvoltage clamping in sensor interfaces, and ESD-protected bias networks where tight voltage tolerance, thermal stability, and automotive qualification are required.
Technical Context
This Zener diode functions as a two-terminal voltage reference with controlled breakdown behavior at 4.7 V under 5 mA test current. Its temperature coefficient is +1.0 mV/K (typical) across 25–150 °C, enabling predictable drift compensation in analog front-ends.
The device uses planar epitaxial silicon construction with cathode-anode polarity defined by a marking bar on the SOD123 body. Its junction-to-solder-point thermal resistance is 50 K/W, supporting reliable operation under pulsed load conditions when mounted per standard FR4 footprint.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

| Zener Voltage VZ | 4.55 V to 4.75 V at IZ = 5 mA - ensures precise 4.7 V regulation within ±2 % tolerance for reference stability |
| Differential Resistance rdif | ≤90 Ω at IZ = 5 mA - minimizes output impedance variation during load transients |
| Reverse Current IR | ≤2 μA at VR = 3.76 V - enables low-leakage biasing in high-impedance circuits |
| Non-repetitive Peak Power PZSM | 40 W (tp = 100 μs) - supports transient overvoltage suppression without failure |
| Total Power Dissipation Ptot | 365 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C - defines continuous DC power limit on standard FR4 PCB |
| Thermal Resistance Rth(j-sp) | 50 K/W - quantifies junction-to-solder-point heat transfer efficiency for thermal design |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes - validated for automotive applications including engine control, body electronics, and ADAS sensors |
Pinout & Package
PDZ4.7BGW is housed in a SOD123 surface-mount plastic package (3.75 mm × 2.55 mm × 1.3 mm), with cathode identified by a marking bar on the body. The package supports reflow soldering only and features a standardized footprint per Nexperia's recommended land pattern.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (K) | Cathode | Connected to regulated output node; marking bar indicates this terminal; carries reverse-biased current during Zener operation |
| 2 (A) | Anode | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; completes bias path for controlled breakdown conduction |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C4V7 | Same 4.7 V nominal, ±5 % tolerance, SOT23 package, 300 mW Ptot, no AEC-Q101 qualification | Lower cost for non-automotive consumer applications; lacks automotive reliability validation | Select when AEC-Q101 is not required and board space permits larger SOT23 footprint |
| MMSZ4700T1G | 4.7 V nominal, ±5 % tolerance, SOD123 package, 500 mW Ptot, AEC-Q101 qualified, higher rdif (100 Ω) | Higher power handling but looser voltage tolerance and less precise regulation | Select when surge robustness >40 W is needed and ±5 % regulation accuracy is acceptable |
Compared with BZX84-C4V7 and MMSZ4700T1G, PDZ4.7BGW uniquely delivers ±2 % tolerance in an AEC-Q101-qualified SOD123 package-making it optimal for automotive sensor references where both precision and qualification are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current the PDZ4.7BGW can sustain at 25 °C ambient?
The PDZ4.7BGW sustains up to 76 mA continuous reverse current at 25 °C ambient, calculated from its 365 mW total power dissipation rating and 4.7 V nominal Zener voltage (IZ = Ptot/VZ). This assumes proper PCB copper area and thermal management per the datasheet's mounting conditions.
Does the PDZ4.7BGW require external series resistance in typical Zener regulator configurations?
Yes-external series resistance is mandatory to limit current through the diode. For example, with a 12 V supply and 4.7 V output, a 100 Ω resistor sets IZ ≈ 73 mA, staying within the 365 mW dissipation limit. The resistor value must be chosen based on worst-case supply voltage, load current, and thermal derating.
How does the temperature coefficient of PDZ4.7BGW affect its regulation accuracy over −40 °C to +125 °C?
With a typical temperature coefficient of +1.0 mV/K, PDZ4.7BGW exhibits ~170 mV total drift across −40 °C to +125 °C, representing ~3.6 % of nominal VZ. Combined with ±2 % initial tolerance, total regulation uncertainty is ±5.6 % over full automotive temperature range-acceptable for non-critical biasing but not precision references.
Can PDZ4.7BGW be used in parallel to increase power handling capability?
No-Zener diodes should not be paralleled due to mismatched breakdown voltages causing current hogging and thermal runaway. For higher power, select a single higher-rated device like MMSZ4700T1G (500 mW) or implement active regulation instead of passive Zener stacking.
