Product details
Overview
BZB84-C3V3-QR from Nexperia is a dual Zener diode in SOT23 package with common-anode configuration, 3.3 V nominal Zener voltage (±5 % tolerance), 300 mW total power dissipation, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive voltage regulation. It provides stable reference and overvoltage protection in compact space-constrained PCBs.
For engineers reviewing the BZB84-C3V3-QR datasheet, BZB84-C3V3-QR pinout, BZB84-C3V3-QR application, or BZB84-C3V3-QR equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal behavior, automotive-grade reliability data, and real-world use context for dual-rail biasing and clamping circuits.
Technical Context
This dual Zener diode integrates two independent 3.3 V Zener elements sharing a common anode terminal, enabling simultaneous regulation of two low-voltage rails or bidirectional transient suppression. Its ±5 % voltage tolerance and 95 Ω typical differential resistance at IZ = 5 mA support precision reference needs in cost-sensitive automotive subsystems.
The device operates across −55 °C to +150 °C ambient, with 150 °C maximum junction temperature and 417 K/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on FR4 PCB. Non-repetitive peak reverse power dissipation reaches 40 W for 100 µs pulses, supporting surge immunity in infotainment and body control modules.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 3.10 V to 3.50 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines tight regulation window for 3.3 V rail stabilization |
| Differential Resistance rdif | 95 Ω max at IZ = 5 mA - ensures low dynamic impedance for stable reference under load variation |
| Total Power Dissipation Ptot | 300 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C - sets continuous thermal limit for surface-mount layout on standard FR4 |
| Non-repetitive Peak Power PZSM | 40 W for tp = 100 µs - enables robust ESD/ISO 7637-2 pulse handling without derating |
| Reverse Current IR | 5 µA max at VR = 1 V - guarantees low leakage in standby mode for battery-powered modules |
| Temperature Coefficient SZ | −3.5 mV/K to 0.0 mV/K - minimizes drift over automotive temperature range (−40 °C to +125 °C) |
| Junction Temperature Tj | 150 °C max - supports operation in engine bay and powertrain proximity applications |
Pinout & Package
SOT23 plastic surface-mount package: 2.9 mm × 1.3 mm × 1.0 mm body, 1.9 mm pin pitch, 3-terminal configuration.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

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 MMBZ5226BS | Single Zener, 3.3 V, ±5 %, SOT23 - no dual configuration | Requires two devices for dual-rail use; higher assembly cost and footprint | Select when only single-rail regulation is needed and board space allows discrete placement |
| Vishay BZX84-C3V3-TP | Single Zener, 3.3 V, ±5 %, SOT23 - lacks common-anode dual topology | No inherent bidirectional clamping; cannot replace dual functionality without redesign | Choose only for legacy single-channel designs where dual functionality is unused |
Compared with MMBZ5226BS and BZX84-C3V3-TP, BZB84-C3V3-QR uniquely delivers dual 3.3 V regulation in one SOT23 footprint, reducing component count by 50 % and eliminating inter-device matching variance in automotive timing-critical subsystems.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current for BZB84-C3V3-QR?
The absolute maximum forward current per diode is 200 mA, specified at ambient temperatures up to 25 °C. Derating applies above 25 °C per the thermal resistance curve; at 100 °C ambient, usable forward current drops to approximately 120 mA to maintain junction temperature below 150 °C.
Can BZB84-C3V3-QR be used for bidirectional ESD protection?
Yes - its dual cathode/common anode structure allows connection as a bidirectional TVS: tie K1 and K2 to protected signal lines and CA to ground. This configuration clamps positive and negative transients up to ±3.3 V with 40 W peak surge capability for 100 µs pulses.
How does the ±5 % tolerance affect regulation accuracy in a 3.3 V rail?
At 25 °C and IZ = 5 mA, the actual Zener voltage ranges from 3.10 V to 3.50 V. Combined with −3.5 to 0.0 mV/K temperature coefficient, worst-case deviation over −40 °C to +125 °C is ±0.22 V - sufficient for non-precision biasing but not for ADC references requiring <1 % error.
Is thermal resistance affected by PCB copper area?
Yes - the published Rth(j-a) = 417 K/W assumes a standard FR4 board with single-sided 1 oz copper and minimal solder mask. Adding 2 oz copper and thermal vias beneath the SOT23 pad reduces Rth(j-a) to ~280 K/W, enabling 20 % higher continuous power dissipation at the same ambient temperature.
