NXP Semiconductors BZV55
BZV55 variants from NXP Semiconductors
BZV55 Overview
What changes between part numbers, and what to check before you lock the BOM — Zener Diodes.
BZV55 is a NXP Semiconductors order-code family — not a single orderable MPN. This page lists 16 variants that share the same core device but differ in suffix fields (package, grade, reel/tube, electrical bin, etc.). Pick the exact full part number; substituting within the family without checking the datasheet often causes assembly or spec mismatches.
DIODE ZENER 51V 500MW SOD80C Other listed variants describe: Diode Zener Single 56V 2% 500mW 2-Pin Mini-MELF T/R; NEXPERIA BZV55-B5V1 - ZENER DIOD.
Suffix examples in this family: B51,115, B56,115, B5V1,115, C10,135, C11,115, C12,115, C13,135, C16,115. The characters after the base number usually encode package, temperature, or performance grade — compare the variant table column-by-column rather than assuming pin-compatible drops-in.
Example MPNs: BZV55-B51,115, BZV55-B56,115, BZV55-B5V1,115, BZV55-C10,135, BZV55-C11,115, BZV55-C12,115.
Key Features
- Lifecycle mix: ActiveConfirm lifecycle on the exact MPN, not just the base number prefix.
- 16 distinct suffix patternsExamples: B51,115, B56,115, B5V1,115, C10,135, C11,115 (+11 more). Decode suffix meaning in the ordering notes under the variant table.
Target Applications
- Zener Diodes — design-in and field replacement
- BOM scrub where only the base prefix is known but suffix is TBD
- Second-source checks when the original MPN is constrained

Ordering Code Differences
How suffixes on BZV55 map to package, grade, and reel options.
BZV55 uses a shared prefix; characters after the prefix encode orderable options. Two lines with the same prefix are not drop-in replacements unless the differing columns match your need.
Suffixes seen here: B51,115, B56,115, B5V1,115, C10,135, C11,115, C12,115, C13,135, C16,115, C20,115, C22,115 (+6 more).
Full MPN examples: BZV55-B51,115, BZV55-B56,115, BZV55-B5V1,115, BZV55-C10,135, BZV55-C11,115.
Tip: photograph or copy the reel label — reel diameter, QTY per reel, and moisture sensitivity level (MSL) are often suffix-driven and won't show in the schematic.
How to Choose the Right BZV55 Zener Diodes
Match the footprint first
Pull the exact package drawing for your MPN — base-number swaps fail most often at the footprint, not the schematic.
Electrical headroom
Compare voltage and current columns in the variant table. For BZV55, a suffix with lower voltage or current rating will not survive the same circuit without recalculation.
Temp grade letter matters
Commercial (0–70 °C) and industrial (−40–85 °C+) suffixes look similar in the prefix — confirm ambient + self-heating, not just the first page of the datasheet.
Copy the full MPN
Do not BOM only "BZV55" — include the full suffix (e.g. B51,115, B56,115, B5V1,115). RFQ with reel/tube preference and required date code.
