Product details
Overview
BZB84-B36,215 from Nexperia is a dual common-anode Zener diode in SOT23 package, designed for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in compact DC power rails. It delivers nominal 36 V Zener voltage (±2 % tolerance), 350 Ω differential resistance at 2 mA, 0.05 µA reverse current at 28.8 V, and supports non-repetitive peak reverse power dissipation up to 40 W for surge suppression in automotive ECUs.
For engineers reviewing the BZB84-B36,215 datasheet, BZB84-B36,215 pinout, BZB84-B36,215 application, or BZB84-B36,215 equivalent, this device serves as a space-constrained, AEC-Q101-qualified dual-Zener solution for bidirectional clamping, reference voltage generation, and transient voltage suppression where tight voltage tolerance and thermal stability are required.
Technical Context
This dual-Zener diode integrates two identical 36 V Zener elements sharing a common anode (Pin 3), enabling symmetrical clamping across supply rails or differential signal lines. Its ±2 % voltage tolerance and −25.2 mV/K temperature coefficient at 2 mA ensure stable regulation under varying thermal conditions in automotive ambient ranges (−55 °C to +150 °C).
The device operates with 300 mW total power dissipation at Tamb ≤ 25 °C and exhibits 417 K/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on FR4 PCBs. Its 45 ns typical reverse recovery time and 45 pF capacitance at 1 MHz support fast transient response without signal integrity degradation in low-frequency control circuits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 35.3 V to 36.7 V at IZ = 2 mA - ensures precise 36 V regulation with ±2 % accuracy for reference and clamp functions |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | 350 Ω max at IZ = 2 mA - maintains low dynamic impedance for stable voltage under load variation |
| Reverse Current (IR) | 0.05 µA max at VR = 28.8 V - guarantees minimal leakage in high-impedance bias networks |
| Non-repetitive Peak Power (PZSM) | 40 W at tp = 100 µs - enables robust ESD/surge protection per diode without derating |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 300 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C - defines continuous thermal limit for PCB-mounted operation |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 150 °C maximum - supports reliable operation in under-hood automotive environments |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse voltage that BZB84-B36,215 can sustain without breakdown?
The BZB84-B36,215 has a nominal Zener voltage of 36 V with a minimum specified value of 35.3 V at 2 mA test current. It begins regulating at approximately 35.3 V and maintains stable breakdown up to its absolute maximum reverse voltage rating of 36.7 V under continuous DC conditions. Operation above this upper limit risks parametric shift or irreversible damage.
Can BZB84-B36,215 be used for bidirectional ESD protection on a differential signal pair?
Yes - its dual common-anode configuration allows direct connection across differential lines (e.g., RS-485 A/B), where Pin 1 clamps positive transients on Line A and Pin 2 clamps negative transients on Line B relative to the shared anode (Pin 3). This provides symmetrical ±36 V clamping without external components, verified per IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 testing.
How does thermal resistance affect derating of BZB84-B36,215 in a high-temperature environment?
With Rth(j-a) = 417 K/W, ambient temperature rise directly reduces allowable power dissipation. At 85 °C ambient, the junction temperature reaches 150 °C at just 156 mW (calculated as (150 − 85) / 417), requiring strict derating below the 300 mW rated value. PCB copper area and airflow must be optimized to maintain safe thermal margins.
Is the marking code 'RA*' on BZB84-B36,215 traceable to manufacturing origin?
Yes - per Nexperia's marking table, 'RA*' identifies the BZB84-B36 variant, and the asterisk suffix indicates manufacturing location: '-' denotes Hong Kong, 'p' Hong Kong, 't' Malaysia, and 'W' China. Lot-specific traceability is maintained through Nexperia's quality system and is available upon request with full trace documentation.
