Product details
Overview
PZU3.9B1A,115 from Nexperia is a ±2 % tolerance Zener voltage regulator diode in SOD323 (SC-76) package, rated for 3.9 V nominal working voltage at 5 mA, with 90 Ω maximum differential resistance, 3 µA reverse current at 0.5 mA test condition, and -2.5 mV/K temperature coefficient. It delivers stable reference voltage in low-power analog circuits, power supply feedback loops, and overvoltage protection stages.
For engineers reviewing the PZU3.9B1A,115 datasheet, PZU3.9B1A,115 pinout, PZU3.9B1A,115 application, or PZU3.9B1A,115 equivalent, this device is selected for precision voltage clamping where tight tolerance, low leakage, and hard breakdown knee are required in space-constrained SMT designs.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse-biased breakdown mode to maintain a stable reference voltage across its terminals under varying load and temperature conditions. Its design emphasizes low dynamic impedance (≤90 Ω at IZ = 5 mA) and controlled temperature coefficient (-2.5 mV/K), enabling accurate regulation in feedback networks.
The device features a hard breakdown knee and low leakage current (3 µA at IZ = 0.5 mA), supporting clean voltage clamping without significant soft turn-on behavior. It is optimized for surface-mounted applications on FR4 PCBs with standard SOD323 footprint and tin-plated copper layers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Nominal Zener Voltage (VZ) | 3.9 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines precise regulation point for feedback or reference circuits |
| Tolerance | ±2 % (B1 series) - ensures tight voltage accuracy critical for precision analog systems |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | ≤90 Ω at IZ = 5 mA - minimizes output voltage variation under load changes |
| Reverse Current (IR) | 3 µA at VR = 3.0 V - enables low-power standby operation and minimal quiescent loss |
| Temperature Coefficient (SZ) | -2.5 mV/K - provides predictable, linear drift for thermal compensation design |

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-B3V9,115 | Same SOD323 package, ±2 % tolerance, but higher rdif (100 Ω vs. 90 Ω) and higher IR (5 µA vs. 3 µA) | Less suitable for ultra-low-leakage feedback paths; acceptable in general-purpose clamping | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs marginal leakage or impedance advantage |
| MMSZ4685T1G | SOD-123 package (larger), ±5 % tolerance, 100 Ω rdif, 5 µA IR, same 3.9 V nominal rating | Requires larger PCB area; looser tolerance limits use in precision references | Choose only if legacy SOD-123 footprint compatibility is mandatory |
Compared with BZX384-B3V9,115 and MMSZ4685T1G, PZU3.9B1A,115 offers the lowest combination of differential resistance and reverse leakage in the SOD323 footprint, making it optimal for high-accuracy, low-power regulation where board space is constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current for PZU3.9B1A,115?
The device has no specified maximum continuous reverse current; instead, it is rated for total power dissipation of 320 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C. At 3.9 V, this corresponds to a maximum steady-state Zener current of approximately 82 mA, assuming full power is allocated to reverse conduction.
Does PZU3.9B1A,115 support reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020?
Yes - the SOD323 package is qualified for standard lead-free reflow profiles. The recommended footprint matches Nexperia's Figure 10, with 0.5 mm solder land width, 0.6 mm solder resist opening, and 1.35 mm center-to-center pitch.
How does the -2.5 mV/K temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy over temperature?
Over a 100 °C range (−40 °C to +60 °C), the Zener voltage shifts by approximately ±250 mV - a ±6.4 % deviation from 3.9 V. This must be accounted for in applications requiring better than ±1 % accuracy across temperature; external compensation may be needed.
Can PZU3.9B1A,115 replace older PZU3.9B,115 in existing designs?
Yes - PZU3.9B1A,115 supersedes PZU3.9B,115 with improved tolerance (±2 % vs. ±5 %) and identical package, pinout, and thermal characteristics. No layout or schematic changes are required, and performance is strictly enhanced.
