Product details
Overview
BZB84-B3V3,215 from Nexperia is a dual common-anode Zener diode in SOT23 (TO-236AB) package, rated for 3.3 V nominal Zener voltage (±2 % tolerance), 300 mW total power dissipation, and 40 W non-repetitive peak reverse power. It serves voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in compact automotive and industrial power rails.
For engineers reviewing the BZB84-B3V3,215 datasheet, BZB84-B3V3,215 pinout, BZB84-B3V3,215 application, or BZB84-B3V3,215 equivalent, this page delivers verified Zener voltage accuracy, dual-diode thermal coupling behavior, AEC-Q101 qualification status, and SOT23 footprint compatibility for space-constrained PCB designs.
Technical Context
This dual Zener diode integrates two precision 3.3 V Zener elements sharing a common anode terminal, enabling bidirectional clamping or symmetrical reference generation. Its ±2 % voltage tolerance and low 95 Ω typical differential resistance at IZ = 5 mA ensure stable regulation under varying load conditions.
The device operates across −55 °C to +150 °C ambient, with junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 417 K/W on FR4 PCB, and supports surge handling up to 40 W (100 µs square wave, Tj = 25 °C prior to surge), meeting automotive transient immunity requirements.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 3.23 V to 3.37 V at IZ = 5 mA - tight ±2 % tolerance enables accurate 3.3 V rail stabilization without external trimming. |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 300 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C - defines maximum continuous DC power per device before thermal derating begins. |
| Non-repetitive Peak Reverse Power (PZSM) | 40 W - supports transient suppression of short-duration surges (≤100 µs) in automotive load-dump scenarios. |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | 600 Ω max at IZ = 5 mA - quantifies dynamic impedance affecting regulation stability under fast load transients. |
| Reverse Current (IR) | 5 µA max at VR = 1 V - ensures minimal leakage in standby mode, critical for battery-powered systems. |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 150 °C maximum - sets upper thermal limit for reliable operation in under-hood or high-power-density environments. |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes - validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD robustness per discrete semiconductor stress test standard. |
Pinout & Package
SOT23 (TO-236AB) plastic surface-mounted package with 3 leads; 1.3 mm × 2.9 mm footprint, 1.1 mm height, and tin-plated terminations compatible with standard reflow profiles.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (Diode 1) | Provides Zener breakdown path for first diode; connects to regulated node requiring 3.3 V clamping. |
| 2 | Cathode (Diode 2) | Enables independent or mirrored clamping function; allows dual-rail referencing or bidirectional transient suppression. |
| 3 | Common Anode | Shared return path for both Zener elements; simplifies PCB routing and ensures matched thermal coupling between diodes. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual common-anode configuration | Enables compact bidirectional voltage limiting or dual-reference generation using single footprint, reducing component count by 1 vs. discrete Zeners. |
| ±2 % Zener voltage tolerance | Guarantees 3.23–3.37 V regulation window at 5 mA, eliminating need for post-production calibration in 3.3 V supply monitoring circuits. |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validates suitability for automotive power management modules, including body control units and sensor interface ECUs. |
| 40 W non-repetitive peak power rating | Withstands ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/5a transients without failure when used with appropriate series impedance. |
| Low 5 µA reverse current at 1 V | Minimizes quiescent current draw in always-on circuits such as CAN bus wake-up monitors or low-power microcontroller reset supervisors. |
Applications
| Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) | Industrial Sensor Signal Conditioning |

Use Scenario: Protecting analog front-end inputs of 24 V industrial PLC I/O cards from ESD and field-wiring faults. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: One cathode clamps positive transients to 3.3 V rail; other cathode sinks negative surges to ground via shared anode. Use Value: 40 W peak power rating absorbs 2 kV ESD events (IEC 61000-4-2) without degradation, confirmed by AEC-Q101 HBM testing. |
| USB-C Power Delivery Monitor | Medical Patient Monitor Auxiliary Rail |
|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZB84-C3V3,215 | ±5 % Zener tolerance (3.1–3.5 V range) vs. ±2 %; otherwise identical SOT23 pinout, power ratings, and AEC-Q101 qualification. | Acceptable where 3.3 V regulation margin > ±0.2 V; not suitable for precision ADC references or tight-threshold supervisors. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs voltage accuracy requirements and system-level tolerance analysis permits wider VZ spread. |
| MMBZ5226BS-7-F | Single Zener (3.3 V, ±5 %), SOT323 package; no dual configuration; 200 mW Ptot; not AEC-Q101 qualified. | Lacks bidirectional clamping capability; requires two devices for dual-rail use; unsuitable for automotive under-hood deployment. | Only consider for non-automotive consumer applications where space constraints favor SOT323 and dual functionality is unnecessary. |
Compared with BZB84-C3V3,215, the BZB84-B3V3,215 offers tighter voltage control essential for precision sensing; versus MMBZ5226BS-7-F, it delivers integrated dual functionality, higher surge resilience, and automotive-grade reliability in the same footprint class.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current for BZB84-B3V3,215?
The absolute maximum forward current is 200 mA per diode, as specified in the Limiting Values table. This rating applies under steady-state DC conditions with ambient temperature ≤25 °C and assumes proper PCB thermal design per the datasheet's FR4 mounting conditions.
Can BZB84-B3V3,215 be used for bidirectional ESD protection on a data line?
Yes - its dual common-anode configuration allows one cathode to clamp positive transients to VCC and the other to clamp negative transients to ground, forming a low-capacitance (450 pF) bidirectional TVS structure suitable for low-speed data lines like LIN or I²C.
How does the temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy over temperature?
At 3.3 V nominal, the temperature coefficient is −3.5 mV/K to 0 mV/K, meaning output voltage may decrease by up to 3.5 mV per Kelvin rise. For a 100 °C range (−40 °C to +60 °C), this introduces up to ±350 mV drift - acceptable for non-precision rails but insufficient for high-accuracy references.
Is the SOT23 footprint compatible with automated optical inspection (AOI) systems?
Yes - the SOT23 (TO-236AB) outline meets IPC-7351B standard dimensions, with 0.95 mm lead pitch and defined solder land patterns (Fig 8/9 in datasheet), ensuring reliable detection by AOI systems calibrated for JEDEC-compliant small-outline packages.
