Product details
Overview
PZU8.2B3A,115 from Nexperia is a ±2 % tolerance Zener voltage regulator diode in SOD323 (SC-76) package, rated for 8.2 V nominal working voltage at 5 mA, with 60 Ω maximum differential resistance and 10 nA reverse current at 0.5 mA, used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in low-power analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the PZU8.2B3A,115 datasheet, PZU8.2B3A,115 pinout, PZU8.2B3A,115 application, or PZU8.2B3A,115 equivalent, this device supports stable regulation in space-constrained designs where tight voltage tolerance, low leakage, and fast transient response are required.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with a hard knee characteristic, optimized for low-current regulation (IZ = 5 mA) and exhibits intentional minor leakage rise to improve switching speed and reduce noise per AN90031. Its temperature coefficient is +4.6 mV/K at 5 mA, enabling predictable drift compensation in bias networks.
The device delivers 320 mW total power dissipation on FR4 PCB with single-sided copper, and withstands non-repetitive 40 W surges (tp = 100 µs), making it suitable for transient-suppressed reference paths in sensor signal conditioning and power supply feedback loops.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Nominal Zener Voltage | 8.2 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines precise regulation point for feedback or reference circuits |
| Tolerance | ±2 % (B3 series) - ensures tight voltage accuracy without post-calibration |
| Differential Resistance | ≤60 Ω at IZ = 5 mA - maintains stable output under small load variations |
| Reverse Current | ≤10 nA at VR = 0.5 mA - minimizes quiescent power loss in battery-powered systems |
| Non-repetitive Peak Power | 40 W (tp = 100 µs) - handles ESD and surge events without degradation |
| Total Power Dissipation | 320 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C - sets thermal derating baseline for PCB layout |
| Junction Temperature | −55 °C to +150 °C - supports industrial ambient operation without thermal shutdown |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOD323 (SC-76), surface-mount plastic case measuring 1.7 mm × 1.25 mm × 0.95 mm with 1.3 mm lead pitch and cathode-marked top surface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode | Connected to regulated output node; marking bar identifies this terminal |
| 2 | Anode | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; completes reverse-bias path |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low dynamic impedance | 60 Ω at 5 mA enables stable regulation even with microampere-level load shifts |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C8V2 | ±5 % tolerance, 80 Ω rdif, 100 nA IR at 1 V - looser accuracy, higher leakage | Acceptable for non-critical biasing but unsuitable for precision feedback | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs regulation stability requirements |
| MMSZ5235B | ±5 % tolerance, 30 Ω rdif, 100 nA IR at 1 V - lower impedance but higher leakage | Better dynamic response but degrades low-power standby performance | Prefer only where fast regulation recovery dominates over quiescent current budget |
Compared with BZX84-C8V2 and MMSZ5235B, PZU8.2B3A,115 uniquely combines ±2 % tolerance, sub-10 nA leakage, and noise-optimized switching behavior-making it the only choice for high-resolution analog systems requiring simultaneous accuracy, efficiency, and signal integrity.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current for PZU8.2B3A,115 at 25 °C?
The device has no specified maximum continuous reverse current; instead, its safe operating area is defined by total power dissipation (320 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C) and junction temperature limit (150 °C). At 8.2 V, this corresponds to ~39 mA average Zener current under ideal thermal conditions, but actual design must account for PCB thermal resistance and ambient rise.
Does PZU8.2B3A,115 meet automotive AEC-Q200 requirements?
No. This part is not automotive-qualified and lacks AEC-Q200 stress testing documentation. Nexperia explicitly states in its legal disclaimers that non-automotive qualified products like PZU8.2B3A,115 are unsuitable for safety-critical or automotive applications unless separately validated by the customer.
How does the B3 tolerance series differ from B1/B2 in the PZUxBA family?
All B1, B2, and B3 denote ±2 % tolerance, but B3 specifically applies to devices with nominal voltages from 7.5 V to 51 V-including PZU8.2B3A,115. The marking code CT confirms this unit is B3-grade, verified in Table 4 of the datasheet under "PZU8.2*A" row.
Can PZU8.2B3A,115 be used in parallel for higher power handling?
No. Zener diodes exhibit negative temperature coefficients below ~5 V and positive above, causing current hogging and thermal runaway when paralleled. The datasheet provides no derating guidance or characterization for parallel operation, and thermal resistance values assume single-device mounting.
