Product details
Overview
PZU84-B47-QR from Nexperia is a ±2 % tolerance Zener voltage regulator diode with nominal 47 V breakdown voltage, optimized for automotive-grade voltage reference and overvoltage protection in SOT23 package. It delivers 375 Ω differential resistance at IZ = 2 mA, 0.05 μA reverse current at VR = 32.9 V, and operates across −55 °C to +150 °C ambient range - used in engine control unit (ECU) supply rail clamping.
For engineers reviewing the PZU84-B47-QR datasheet, PZU84-B47-QR pinout, PZU84-B47-QR application, or PZU84-B47-QR equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, low leakage at high-voltage operation, hard breakdown knee, and thermal resistance of 330 K/W to solder point - critical for under-hood power management designs.
Technical Context
This Zener diode belongs to the PZU84-Q series' B-tolerance subgroup (±2 %), engineered for precision regulation where stable reference voltage and minimal temperature drift are required. Its 47 V nominal Zener voltage falls within the high-end segment (39–51 V) characterized by intentional minor leakage rise to improve switching speed and reduce noise per AN90031.
It exhibits a temperature coefficient of +42.0 mV/K at IZ = 2 mA and 47 V nominal, confirming positive TC behavior typical of higher-voltage Zeners. The device uses a planar epitaxial silicon process and features a non-connected terminal (Pin 2) to enable consistent SOT23 footprint compatibility across the full 34-voltage family.
Key Specifications

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for PZU84-B47-QR?
PZU84-B47-QR has a guaranteed ±2 % tolerance, meaning its measured Zener voltage at IZ = 2 mA falls strictly between 46.1 V and 47.9 V. This tighter tolerance than standard ±5 % Zeners enables higher accuracy in reference and protection circuits without trimming components.
Does Pin 2 have an electrical function?
No - Pin 2 is explicitly marked "n.c." (not connected) in the official Nexperia pinning diagram and internal die layout. It serves only mechanical and thermal symmetry purposes in the SOT23 package and must remain unconnected in PCB layout to avoid unintended parasitic coupling or solder bridging.
How does PZU84-B47-QR achieve noise reduction?
Per Application Note AN90031, this device intentionally increases leakage current slightly compared to lower-voltage variants - improving carrier injection dynamics and suppressing high-frequency ringing during fast transients. Measured noise floor is reduced by ≥12 dB versus legacy Zeners in 10 kHz–1 MHz band.
Can PZU84-B47-QR replace PZU84-C47-Q in existing designs?
No - PZU84-C47-Q has ±5 % tolerance (44.0–50.0 V) and higher differential resistance (400 Ω). Substituting the B-version introduces tighter voltage control but may alter loop stability in feedback circuits calibrated for C-series impedance and tolerance; redesign validation is required.
