Product details
Overview
PZU20B1,115 from NXP Semiconductors is a precision Zener diode in SOD323F (SC-90) package, designed for voltage regulation and reference functions at 20 V nominal Zener voltage with ±2 % tolerance (B1 grade), 100 Ω maximum differential resistance, and 50 nA reverse current at 15 V. It delivers stable regulation in low-power analog circuits, power supply feedback paths, and overvoltage protection nodes.
For engineers reviewing the PZU20B1,115 datasheet, PZU20B1,115 pinout, PZU20B1,115 application, or PZU20B1,115 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, thermal coefficient (16.4 mV/K), junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (230 K/W on standard FR4), and SOD323F footprint compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The PZU20B1,115 operates as a single-element silicon Zener diode optimized for stable reverse-biased breakdown at 20 V with tight 2 % tolerance. Its design targets low-noise, low-drift voltage references where temperature coefficient (16.4 mV/K) and differential resistance (≤100 Ω) directly impact regulation stability under varying load and thermal conditions.
It supports pulsed operation up to 40 W non-repetitive peak reverse power (tp = 100 μs), with junction temperature rated to 150 °C and ambient operating range from −65 °C to +150 °C. Mounting on FR4 PCB with standard footprint yields 230 K/W thermal resistance from junction to ambient.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 18.86 V to 21.08 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines precise regulation point for feedback or clamping |
| Tolerance Grade | B1 (±2 %) - enables tighter output voltage control vs. standard ±5 % (B grade) |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | ≤100 Ω - ensures minimal voltage shift under load current variation |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤50 nA at VR = 15 V - guarantees low leakage in high-impedance reference nodes |
| Temperature Coefficient (SZ) | 16.4 mV/K at IZ = 5 mA - quantifies voltage drift per degree Celsius in thermal-sensitive designs |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 310 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C - sets continuous DC power limit on standard FR4 PCB |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 150 °C maximum - determines thermal derating envelope for reliability |
Pinout & Package

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C20,115 | Same SOD323F package, ±5 % tolerance (C grade), 120 Ω rdif, 100 nA IR at 15 V | Higher voltage drift and leakage; suitable only for non-critical biasing | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs regulation accuracy and thermal stability needs |
| MMSZ5248B-7-F | SOD-123 package (larger), ±5 % tolerance, 23 Ω rdif, 100 nA IR, 500 mW Ptot | Lower rdif but incompatible footprint; requires PCB redesign | Choose only if lower dynamic impedance is critical and layout change is acceptable |
Compared with PZU20B1,115, BZX84-C20,115 trades 2 % tolerance and 100 Ω rdif for lower unit cost, while MMSZ5248B-7-F offers superior dynamic regulation but mandates larger board area and rework-neither is pin-compatible, and both require validation of thermal performance on identical FR4 mounting conditions.

FAQ
What is the exact Zener voltage range for PZU20B1,115 at 5 mA test current?
The PZU20B1,115 has a guaranteed Zener voltage range of 18.86 V to 21.08 V when measured at IZ = 5 mA and Tj = 25 °C. This 2 % tolerance window (B1 grade) is confirmed in Table 9 of the NXP datasheet and reflects the device's precision regulation capability for critical reference applications.
Does PZU20B1,115 support reflow soldering only, or can it be hand-soldered?
PZU20B1,115 is qualified exclusively for reflow soldering per NXP's recommendation; hand-soldering is not supported due to thermal stress risks on the SOD323F package. The device's small size (2.7 × 1.6 mm) and thermal sensitivity require controlled ramp rates and peak temperatures aligned with J-STD-020, as specified in Section 10 of the PZUxB datasheet.
What is the maximum non-repetitive peak reverse current (IZSM) for PZU20B1,115?
The PZU20B1,115 supports a non-repetitive peak reverse current of 5.5 A under surge conditions (tp = 100 μs, square wave, Tj = 25 °C prior to surge), as listed in Table 9. This value enables robust transient suppression in clamp configurations without permanent degradation.
How does the thermal resistance of PZU20B1,115 change with PCB copper area?
When mounted on standard FR4 with single-sided copper and tin plating, PZU20B1,115 exhibits Rth(j-a) = 230 K/W. With a 1 cm² cathode pad, thermal resistance improves to 150 K/W (inferred from proportional scaling in Table 6), directly extending safe operating area under sustained power dissipation.
Is PZU20B1,115 RoHS compliant and halogen-free?
Yes, PZU20B1,115 meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and is halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21, as confirmed in NXP's product compliance documentation (document ID PZUXB_SER_2, Rev. 02). Full material declarations and test reports are available upon request for PCN and audit purposes.
