The Nexperia BZV49-C5V6115 is a 5.6 V Zener diode rated for 1 W continuous power dissipation in a SOT-89 (TO-243AA) surface-mount package. The ±5% tolerance on the Zener voltage covers the standard regulation band for general-purpose clamping, overvoltage protection, and simple voltage-reference circuits. Operating temperature spans -65°C to 150°C, suiting it for industrial and automotive-adjacent environments where the board sees wide thermal swings.
Reverse leakage and forward drop
Reverse leakage is specified at 1 µA maximum at 2 V reverse voltage — well below the Zener knee, so standby power in an off-state clamp circuit stays negligible. Forward voltage is 1 V maximum at 50 mA, typical for a silicon junction of this die size.
Lifecycle and sourcing
The BZV49-C5V6115 carries an active lifecycle status. It is a current-production part from Nexperia, available through independent distribution.
