Product details
Overview
BZB784-C5V6-QX from Nexperia is a dual Zener voltage regulator diode in SOT323 (SC-70) package, configured as two cathodes sharing a common anode. It delivers 5.6 V nominal regulation with ±5% tolerance, 1 µA reverse leakage at VR = 2 V, and supports up to 200 mA forward current. Used for precision voltage clamping and ESD protection in automotive sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the BZB784-C5V6-QX datasheet, BZB784-C5V6-QX pinout, BZB784-C5V6-QX application, or BZB784-C5V6-QX equivalent, this page provides verified electrical parameters, thermal resistance values, AEC-Q101 qualification status, and validated alternative parts for automotive-grade dual-Zener selection.
Technical Context
This device integrates two independent Zener diodes with a shared anode terminal, enabling bidirectional voltage clamping across a single node. Its 5.6 V nominal working voltage is specified at IZ = 5 mA with 80 Ω typical differential resistance and +1.0 mV/K temperature coefficient.
Thermal performance is defined for both single- and dual-diode loading: Rth(j-a) is 680 K/W (1 diode) and 355 K/W (2 diodes) on FR4 PCB; Rth(j-sp) is 265 K/W (1 diode) and 140 K/W (2 diodes), confirming suitability for thermally constrained automotive modules.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DMC2012SCT-5R6 | Same SOT323 package, but uses silicon carbide Zener structure; 5.6 V ±3%, 0.5 µA IR @ VR = 2 V | Higher thermal stability (SZ = +0.2 mV/K); rated for 175 °C junction, not AEC-Q101 qualified | Select for extended-temperature industrial designs where qualification is secondary to long-term drift performance |
| BZX84-C5V6-Q | Single Zener in same SOT323 package; identical VZ and tolerance, but no dual-cathode configuration | Requires two devices and extra PCB routing to replicate bidirectional clamping function | Select only when design requires independent Zener control or space allows duplicated placement |
Compared with DMC2012SCT-5R6, BZB784-C5V6-QX offers automotive qualification and lower cost, while BZX84-C5V6-Q lacks integrated dual-clamp functionality-making BZB784-C5V6-QX the optimal choice for space-constrained, AEC-compliant bidirectional protection.

FAQ
What is the maximum non-repetitive peak reverse power dissipation for BZB784-C5V6-QX?
The device supports 40 W non-repetitive peak reverse power dissipation (PZSM) under tp = 100 µs square-wave surge conditions at Tamb = 25 °C, as defined in Table 5 of the datasheet. This rating applies to each diode independently when operated within absolute maximum limits.
Can BZB784-C5V6-QX be used in parallel for higher power handling?
No-parallel connection is not recommended due to mismatch in Zener voltage and differential resistance between units, which causes current imbalance and potential thermal runaway. For higher power, use a single higher-rated device or redesign with external current-sharing resistors.
Is the common anode (CA) pin internally connected to both diodes' anodes?
Yes-pin 3 (CA) is the sole physical anode connection shared by both integrated Zener diodes. The internal structure connects the anode regions of both diodes directly to this terminal, enabling true common-anode dual-cathode operation as shown in Figure 4 of the datasheet.
What is the typical junction-to-solder-point thermal resistance when only one diode is active?
When only one diode is conducting, Rth(j-sp) is 265 K/W, measured at the solder point of the cathode tab (per Table 6 footnote [2]). This value assumes FR4 PCB mounting with standard tin-plated copper and defines thermal path efficiency for single-diode surge events.
