Product details
Overview
BZB84-C33-QR from Nexperia is a dual common-anode Zener diode pair in SOT23 package, rated for 33 V nominal Zener voltage (±5 % tolerance), 300 mW total power dissipation, and AEC-Q101 qualification-used for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in automotive power rails and sensor interface circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZB84-C33-QR datasheet, BZB84-C33-QR pinout, BZB84-C33-QR application, or BZB84-C33-QR equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-Zener configuration with shared anode, thermal resistance (Rth(j-a) = 417 K/W), non-repetitive surge capability (40 W, 100 µs), and automotive-grade reliability under −55 °C to +150 °C ambient conditions.
Technical Context
This dual-Zener device integrates two independent Zener diodes sharing a common anode terminal (Pin 3), enabling bidirectional clamping or dual-rail regulation from a single footprint. Each diode operates at 33 V nominal Zener voltage with ±5 % tolerance (C-series), 23.1–33.4 V dynamic impedance range at IZ = 2 mA, and temperature coefficient of +5.4 mV/K at IZ = 2 mA.
Designed for automotive environments, it meets AEC-Q101 stress requirements including Tj up to 150 °C, storage temperature from −65 °C to +150 °C, and robust ESD performance. Its SOT23 package supports surface-mount reflow/wave soldering per IPC-7095 guidelines with defined thermal pad layout and solder mask openings.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 33 V nominal, ±5 % tolerance (C-series); ensures stable reference within 31.0–35.0 V at IZ = 2 mA for regulation accuracy. |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 300 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C on FR4 PCB; defines continuous DC power handling before thermal derating begins. |
| Non-repetitive Peak Reverse Power (PZSM) | 40 W for 100 µs square-wave surge; enables transient overvoltage suppression without failure in automotive load-dump events. |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | 325 Ω max at IZ = 2 mA; determines regulation stiffness-lower values improve voltage stability under varying load current. |
| Reverse Current (IR) | 0.05 µA max at VR = 27 V; confirms low leakage below breakdown, critical for battery-powered sensor bias networks. |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 150 °C maximum; sets upper thermal limit for reliable operation in under-hood automotive modules. |
Pinout & Package
SOT23 plastic surface-mount package (2.9 mm × 1.3 mm × 1.0 mm body, 1.9 mm pitch), qualified per AEC-Q101, with tin-plated terminations and standard FR4 PCB footprint per Figure 12.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | K1 (Cathode, Diode 1) | Connects to regulated node for first 33 V Zener path; reverse-biased during clamping. |
| 2 | K2 (Cathode, Diode 2) | Independent cathode for second 33 V Zener; enables dual-rail or complementary clamping topology. |
| 3 | CA (Common Anode) | Shared anode reference point-tied to system ground or supply rail to define bidirectional clamping reference. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual common-anode Zener configuration | Enables compact bidirectional voltage clamping or dual-rail regulation without discrete anode routing. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Stabilizes bias voltage for op-amp gain stages while clamping induced lightning surges on twisted-pair lines. Use Value: Low 0.05 µA leakage at 27 V prevents signal drift in high-impedance feedback networks. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor MMBZ5267ET1G | Single 33 V Zener (±5 %), SOT23, 500 mW Ptot, no dual configuration | Requires two devices and external anode tie for dual-clamp function; higher assembly cost | Select when higher continuous power (500 mW) is needed and board space permits discrete placement. |
| Vishay BZX84-C33-TP | Single 33 V Zener (±5 %), SOT23, 300 mW Ptot, AEC-Q101 qualified, no dual configuration | Lacks common-anode dual-diode topology-cannot perform bidirectional clamping from one footprint | Choose only for single-rail regulation where dual functionality is unnecessary and sourcing favors Vishay. |
Compared with MMBZ5267ET1G and BZX84-C33-TP, BZB84-C33-QR uniquely delivers dual 33 V Zener paths in one SOT23 package with AEC-Q101 qualification-reducing component count, improving layout symmetry, and enabling true bidirectional clamping without interconnect parasitics.

FAQ
What is the maximum non-repetitive peak reverse current for BZB84-C33-QR?
The maximum non-repetitive peak reverse current (IZSM) is 0.9 A at 100 µs pulse width and Tj = 25 °C prior to surge, derived from the 40 W PZSM rating and 33 V nominal Zener voltage. This value is confirmed in Table 9 of the datasheet for C33 variants and applies only to single-event transients-not repetitive operation.
How does the common-anode configuration affect circuit design?
The common-anode (Pin 3) forces both Zener diodes to share the same reference potential, enabling symmetrical bidirectional clamping between two nodes (e.g., differential signal lines) or dual-rail regulation referenced to ground. It eliminates the need for separate anode traces, reducing layout complexity and parasitic inductance in high-speed transient suppression paths.
Is BZB84-C33-QR suitable for use in 24 V commercial vehicle systems?
Yes-its 33 V Zener voltage provides adequate margin above 24 V nominal systems (including 28 V alternator regulation), and its AEC-Q101 qualification covers extended temperature range (−55 °C to +150 °C), surge immunity, and humidity resistance required for commercial vehicle ECUs. The 40 W surge rating exceeds ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a requirements for 24 V systems.
What is the typical Zener voltage temperature coefficient for this part?
The typical temperature coefficient (SZ) is +5.4 mV/K at IZ = 2 mA, as specified in Table 9 for the C33 variant. This positive coefficient means the Zener voltage increases by approximately 5.4 mV per degree Celsius rise in junction temperature-critical for predicting regulation drift across operating temperature ranges in automotive applications.
