Product details
Overview
BZB84-B56-QR from Nexperia is a dual Zener diode in SOT23 package with common-anode configuration, rated for 56 V nominal Zener voltage (±2 % tolerance), 300 mW total power dissipation, and qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive use. It provides precise dual-voltage regulation in compact surface-mount designs, commonly deployed in power supply feedback loops and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZB84-B56-QR datasheet, BZB84-B56-QR pinout, BZB84-B56-QR application, or BZB84-B56-QR equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, non-repetitive surge capability (40 W), thermal resistance (100 K/W junction-to-solder-point), dual-cathode/common-anode topology, and AEC-Q101 qualification status.
Technical Context
This dual Zener diode integrates two independent 56 V Zener elements sharing a common anode terminal, enabling simultaneous regulation or clamping at identical reference voltages. Its ±2 % voltage tolerance ensures tight output stability under varying load and temperature conditions.
The device supports non-repetitive peak reverse power dissipation up to 40 W (tp = 100 µs, square wave) and operates across −55 °C to +150 °C ambient range. Junction-to-solder-point thermal resistance is 100 K/W, facilitating reliable heat transfer in high-density PCB layouts.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 54.9 V to 57.1 V at IZ = 2 mA - defines regulated output voltage window with ±2 % accuracy |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 300 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling on standard FR4 PCB |
| Non-repetitive Peak Reverse Power (PZSM) | 40 W for 100 µs pulse - enables transient overvoltage suppression without failure |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | 425 Ω max at IZ = 2 mA - determines regulation stiffness and output impedance in feedback paths |
| Reverse Current (IR) | 0.05 µA max at VR = 42 V - ensures minimal leakage in high-impedance sensing or bias networks |
| Temperature Coefficient (SZ) | −2.0 to +2.5 mV/K - quantifies Zener voltage drift per degree Celsius across operating range |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 150 °C maximum - defines upper thermal limit for safe operation under sustained load |
Pinout & Package
SOT23 plastic surface-mount package (2.9 mm × 1.3 mm × 1.0 mm body, 1.9 mm pin pitch) with gull-wing leads and standardized footprint for reflow/wave soldering.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (K1) | Cathode of Diode 1 | Primary Zener output node for first 56 V regulation path; connects to feedback or clamp point |
| 2 (K2) | Cathode of Diode 2 | Independent second 56 V regulation node; enables dual-path redundancy or split-rail referencing |
| 3 (CA) | Common Anode | Shared return path for both Zeners; ties to system ground or negative rail in dual-regulator configurations |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual Zener topology | Two matched 56 V Zener elements in single SOT23 package reduce board area by ~40 % vs. discrete dual-diode solutions |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including HTOL, temperature cycling, and ESD testing per JESD22-A114 |
| ±2 % Zener tolerance | Enables tighter closed-loop regulation in SMPS feedback networks without external trimming components |
| Low thermal resistance | 100 K/W junction-to-solder-point allows >200 mA pulsed current handling without exceeding Tj = 150 °C |
| High surge robustness | Withstands 40 W non-repetitive surges (100 µs) - suitable for CAN/LIN bus line protection and ESD clamp circuits |
Applications
| Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) | Industrial PLC Analog Input Protection |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: One Zener supplies reference to DAC; the other buffers comparator hysteresis threshold. Use Value: 0.05 µA max reverse leakage prevents reference drift in high-impedance bias networks at 55 °C ambient. |
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-C56-Q | ±5 % Zener tolerance (vs. ±2 %); otherwise identical electrical specs and package | Acceptable where cost sensitivity outweighs precision requirements, e.g., non-critical biasing | Select when tighter voltage matching is unnecessary and BOM cost reduction is prioritized |
| MMBZ5256BS | Single Zener (56 V, ±5 %), SOT323 package; no dual-cathode topology or AEC-Q101 rating | Limited to single-rail applications; unsuitable for automotive or dual-path designs | Choose only for space-constrained non-automotive prototypes where dual functionality is not required |
Compared with BZB84-C56-Q, the BZB84-B56-QR offers superior voltage accuracy critical for closed-loop regulation, while MMBZ5256BS lacks both dual functionality and automotive qualification-making it viable only for low-risk, single-channel consumer applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current for BZB84-B56-QR?
The absolute maximum forward current per diode is 200 mA, as specified in Table 5 (Limiting Values). This rating applies at Tamb ≤ 25 °C on standard FR4 PCB with single-sided copper. Derating is required above 25 °C ambient per the thermal resistance curve in Table 6.
Can BZB84-B56-QR be used in parallel for higher power handling?
No-parallel connection of Zener diodes is not recommended due to mismatch in Zener voltage and dynamic resistance, which causes current imbalance and potential thermal runaway. For higher power, use a single higher-rated Zener or external current-sharing resistors with careful derating.
Is the common-anode configuration compatible with standard Zener test fixtures?
Yes-the CA pin (Pin 3) serves as the common reference, and K1/K2 (Pins 1 and 2) are independently accessible. Standard Zener testers can measure each diode by grounding CA and applying reverse bias to K1 or K2 separately, per Figure 11 pinning diagram.
Does BZB84-B56-QR support wave soldering?
Yes-Nexperia provides dedicated wave soldering footprint data (Figure 13), specifying 1.4 mm pad width, 2.2 mm length, and 2.6 mm spacing. The SOT23 package is qualified for both reflow and wave processes per JEDEC J-STD-020 and J-STD-006 standards.
