Product details
Overview
PDZ5.6BGWJ from Nexperia is a single Zener diode in SOD123 package, designed for precision voltage regulation and reference functions at 5.6 V nominal Zener voltage (IZ = 5 mA), ±2 % tolerance, 100 Ω max differential resistance, 1 μA max reverse current at VR = 4.5 V, and AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive environments. It operates with 365 mW total power dissipation at Tamb ≤ 25 °C and supports stable clamping in low-power analog supply rails.
For engineers reviewing the PDZ5.6BGWJ datasheet, PDZ5.6BGWJ pinout, PDZ5.6BGWJ application, or PDZ5.6BGWJ equivalent, this device is selected for its tight voltage tolerance, low temperature coefficient (+1.9 mV/K at IZ = 5 mA), robust surge capability (5.5 A non-repetitive peak reverse current), and surface-mount compatibility in space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This Zener diode implements a silicon planar junction structure optimized for stable reverse-bias breakdown at 5.6 V with minimal voltage drift over temperature and current. Its ±2 % tolerance (B-series) and +1.9 mV/K temperature coefficient enable accurate voltage referencing in feedback loops and protection circuits without external trimming.
The SOD123 package provides defined thermal resistance (200 K/W junction-to-solder-point) and supports reflow-only assembly per JEDEC J-STD-020. The cathode-marked anode-cathode configuration ensures unambiguous polarity during automated placement and functional testing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 5.48 V to 5.73 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines precise regulation point for feedback or clamp circuits |
| Tolerance | ±2 % (B-series) - enables tighter system-level voltage margin control vs. standard ±5 % Zeners |
| Differential Resistance rdif | ≤100 Ω - ensures low dynamic impedance for stable regulation under varying load current |
| Reverse Current IR | ≤1 μA at VR = 4.5 V - minimizes standby power loss in battery-backed or low-quiescent systems |
| Temp. Coefficient SZ | +1.9 mV/K at IZ = 5 mA - near-zero TC crossing point near 5.6 V improves thermal stability in automotive ambient ranges |
| Non-repetitive Peak IZSM | 5.5 A (tp = 100 μs) - provides transient overvoltage immunity without external TVS stacking |
| Total Power Dissipation Ptot | 365 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling on standard FR4 PCB |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C5V6 | ±5 % tolerance, 60 Ω rdif, no AEC-Q101 qualification | Acceptable for commercial-grade consumer power rails but not automotive or industrial safety-critical use | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs precision and qualification requirements |
| MMSZ5232BS | ±5 % tolerance, 150 Ω rdif, SOD-123 package, AEC-Q101 qualified | Higher rdif increases regulation error under load; same package enables layout reuse | Select when AEC-Q101 is mandatory but ±2 % tolerance is not required |
Compared with BZX84-C5V6 and MMSZ5232BS, PDZ5.6BGWJ delivers superior voltage accuracy (±2 % vs. ±5 %), lower dynamic impedance (100 Ω vs. ≥60 Ω), and guaranteed automotive qualification-making it optimal for high-integrity reference and clamp roles where regulation stability directly impacts system accuracy or safety compliance.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse power dissipation for PDZ5.6BGWJ at 85 °C ambient?
At Tamb = 85 °C, the derated total power dissipation is 220 mW, calculated using the 365 mW rating at 25 °C and thermal resistance of 200 K/W junction-to-solder-point. This ensures safe operation without exceeding 150 °C maximum junction temperature under typical PCB mounting conditions.
Does PDZ5.6BGWJ support wave soldering?
No-reflow soldering is the only recommended process, as specified in the Nexperia datasheet. Wave soldering risks thermal damage due to the SOD123 package's limited thermal mass and the device's 150 °C maximum junction temperature limit; reflow profiles must comply with JEDEC J-STD-020 Class 3a.
How does the +1.9 mV/K temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy over −40 °C to +125 °C?
Over that range, the Zener voltage shifts approximately +300 mV (1.9 mV/K × 165 K), resulting in a final VZ of ~5.98 V at +125 °C. This predictable, linear drift allows compensation in closed-loop designs and remains within system-level tolerance bands for most automotive and industrial references.
Can PDZ5.6BGWJ replace PDZ5.6B in existing designs?
Yes-PDZ5.6BGWJ is a direct revision upgrade of PDZ5.6B with identical electrical specs, SOD123 package, and marking code "BA". The "J" suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-481 standard; no layout or schematic changes are required for migration.
