Product details
Overview
PZU3.3B1A,115 from Nexperia is a ±2 % tolerance Zener voltage regulator diode in SOD323 (SC-76) package, rated for 3.3 V nominal working voltage at 5 mA, with 95 Ω maximum differential resistance, 5 µA reverse current at 0.5 mA test condition, and −2.4 mV/K temperature coefficient. It delivers stable reference voltage in low-power analog circuits and power supply feedback paths.
For engineers reviewing the PZU3.3B1A,115 datasheet, PZU3.3B1A,115 pinout, PZU3.3B1A,115 application, or PZU3.3B1A,115 equivalent, this device is selected for precision voltage clamping, overvoltage protection, and low-current biasing where tight tolerance, low leakage, and hard breakdown knee are required.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse-biased breakdown mode to maintain a stable 3.3 V reference across its terminals under controlled current conditions. Its design emphasizes low dynamic impedance (≤95 Ω at IZ = 5 mA) and minimal temperature drift (−2.4 mV/K), enabling accurate regulation in ambient temperatures from −55 °C to +150 °C.
The device features a hard breakdown knee and very low leakage current-5 µA at 0.5 mA reverse bias-making it suitable for battery-powered and energy-sensitive applications. Its SOD323 package supports high-density surface-mount assembly while maintaining thermal resistance of 255 K/W (junction-to-solder point) on standard FR4 PCBs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX384-B3V3,115 | Same SOD323 package, ±2 % tolerance, but higher rdif (120 Ω) and higher IR (10 µA at 0.5 mA) | Less suitable for ultra-low-leakage biasing; acceptable for general-purpose clamping | Select when cost priority outweighs leakage and impedance requirements |
| MMSZ4685T1G | SO-23 package, ±5 % tolerance, 3.3 V nominal, rdif = 100 Ω, IR = 1 µA at 1 V | Larger footprint and looser tolerance reduce suitability for precision feedback loops | Choose only if board layout requires SO-23 compatibility or legacy BOM alignment |
Compared with PZU3.3B1A,115, BZX384-B3V3,115 trades leakage and impedance performance for broader availability, while MMSZ4685T1G sacrifices tolerance and package size for established supply chain support-neither matches the combination of ±2 %, 5 µA leakage, and 95 Ω rdif in SOD323.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current for PZU3.3B1A,115 at 25 °C ambient?
The device supports up to 200 mA forward current, but as a Zener diode, its continuous reverse current is limited by power dissipation. At 25 °C ambient on standard FR4 PCB, maximum continuous reverse current is 97 mA (320 mW ÷ 3.3 V), assuming negligible forward drop. Derating applies above 25 °C per thermal resistance data.
Does PZU3.3B1A,115 meet AEC-Q200 for automotive use?
No. The PZU3.3B1A,115 is not automotive-qualified. Nexperia explicitly states in its legal disclaimers that non-automotive qualified products like this Zener series are unsuitable for safety-critical or life-support systems, and no AEC-Q200 stress testing or qualification is performed or claimed.
How does the −2.4 mV/K temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy over temperature?
At 3.3 V nominal, −2.4 mV/K causes a −0.24 V shift over a 100 K rise (e.g., −40 °C to +60 °C). Combined with ±2 % initial tolerance, total deviation remains within ±3.2 % across that range-sufficient for non-precision industrial applications but requiring compensation in metrology-grade designs.
Can PZU3.3B1A,115 be used in parallel for higher power handling?
No. Zener diodes exhibit manufacturing variations in breakdown voltage, causing current hogging when paralleled. Even matched units risk thermal runaway due to negative temperature coefficient. For higher power, use a single higher-rated Zener or switch to an active shunt regulator topology.
