Product details
Overview
PZU3.3B2L from NXP Semiconductors is a single Zener diode in SOD882 ultra-small surface-mount package, designed for precision voltage regulation at 3.3 V nominal with ±2 % tolerance, 5 µA reverse current at 0.5 mA test current, and 95 Ω differential resistance at 5 mA - used in power supply feedback loops and reference circuits of automotive ECUs and industrial sensors.
For engineers reviewing the PZU3.3B2L datasheet, PZU3.3B2L pinout, PZU3.3B2L application, or PZU3.3B2L equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, 250 mW total power dissipation at 25 °C ambient, non-repetitive 40 W surge capability, and cathode-anode polarity marking on the SOD882 body.
Technical Context
The PZU3.3B2L operates as a two-terminal voltage reference device with fixed 3.3 V breakdown voltage, optimized for low-noise, stable regulation under DC and transient conditions. Its thermal resistance from junction to ambient is 500 K/W in free air and 250 K/W with 1 cm² cathode pad, supporting operation from −55 °C to +150 °C ambient.
It features a negative temperature coefficient of −2.4 mV/K at 5 mA, enabling predictable drift compensation in bias networks. The device requires reflow soldering only and is mounted on FR4 PCBs with standard tin-plated single-sided copper footprint per Figure 9.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|

FAQ
What is the exact Zener voltage tolerance for PZU3.3B2L?
The PZU3.3B2L has a nominal Zener voltage of 3.3 V with a tolerance of ±2 %, verified per Table 8 of the NXP datasheet Rev. 01 (2008). This corresponds to a guaranteed breakdown range of 3.234 V to 3.366 V at 5 mA test current and 25 °C junction temperature. The 'B2' suffix explicitly denotes the ±2 % grade within the PZUxBL family.
Is PZU3.3B2L qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the PZU3.3B2L is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed in Section 8.1 of the official NXP product data sheet. This qualification covers stress testing for high-temperature operating life, temperature cycling, and humidity bias, making PZU3.3B2L suitable for use in automotive body electronics, infotainment power supplies, and ADAS sensor modules.
What is the maximum non-repetitive peak reverse current for PZU3.3B2L?
The PZU3.3B2L supports a non-repetitive peak reverse current (IZSM) of 8 A, specified for tp = 100 µs square-wave pulses with Tj = 25 °C prior to surge (Table 8, footnote [2]). This value is derived from its 40 W non-repetitive peak power rating and 3.3 V nominal Zener voltage, and is validated for transient suppression in LIN and CAN bus protection circuits.
Which package type does PZU3.3B2L use, and what are its dimensions?
The PZU3.3B2L uses the SOD882 leadless ultra-small plastic package, measuring 1.02 mm × 0.62 mm × 0.50 mm (length × width × height) per Figure 8. Its cathode is marked by a bar on the top surface, and it requires reflow soldering only - no hand-soldering or wave soldering is recommended per Section 11 of the datasheet.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient for PZU3.3B2L in free air?
The thermal resistance from junction to ambient (Rth(j-a)) for PZU3.3B2L is 500 K/W in free air, as specified in Table 6 under condition [1][2]. When mounted on an FR4 PCB with a 1 cm² cathode pad, Rth(j-a) improves to 250 K/W. These values directly determine maximum allowable power dissipation before exceeding the 150 °C junction limit.
