Product details
Overview
BZB84-C7V5-QR from Nexperia is a dual Zener diode in SOT23 package with nominal 7.5 V regulation voltage (±5 % tolerance), common-anode configuration, 300 mW total power dissipation, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use.
For engineers reviewing the BZB84-C7V5-QR datasheet, BZB84-C7V5-QR pinout, BZB84-C7V5-QR application, or BZB84-C7V5-QR equivalent, this part supports dual-rail voltage reference, overvoltage clamping, and precision biasing in space-constrained automotive ECUs and industrial sensor interfaces where thermal robustness and production-grade reliability are required.
Technical Context
This dual Zener diode integrates two independent 7.5 V Zener elements sharing a common anode terminal, enabling compact dual-voltage referencing or bidirectional transient suppression in single-package layout. Its differential resistance of ≤80 Ω at IZ = 5 mA ensures stable regulation under load variation.
The device operates across –55 °C to +150 °C ambient, with junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 417 K/W on FR4 PCB, and exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +2.5 to +5.3 mV/K - critical for temperature-compensated reference designs requiring predictable drift behavior.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 7.00 V to 7.90 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines usable regulation window for 7.5 V nominal rail |
| Tolerance | ±5 % (C-series) - enables cost-optimized selection where tight voltage accuracy is not mission-critical |
| Total Power Dissipation | 300 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling per device |
| Non-repetitive Peak Power | 40 W at tp = 100 µs - supports surge suppression for ESD or load-dump transients |
| Differential Resistance | ≤80 Ω at IZ = 5 mA - determines output impedance and regulation error under current step loads |
| Reverse Current IR | ≤1 µA at VR = 5.0 V - ensures low leakage in standby-biased reference circuits |
| Thermal Resistance Rth(j-a) | 417 K/W - quantifies self-heating impact on Zener voltage stability in unforced-air environments |
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 per Fig. 12–13 of Nexperia's datasheet.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| 2 (K2) | Cathode of Diode 2 | Enables independent connection to second 7.5 V rail or alternate reference point |
| 3 (CA) | Common Anode | Shared return path; must be tied to system ground or bias reference potential |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual common-anode Zener topology | Reduces board area by 40 % vs. discrete dual-Zener solutions while maintaining isolation between cathodes |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive under-hood applications including engine control, lighting, and ADAS sensors |
| ±5 % voltage tolerance (C-series) | Optimizes cost-performance trade-off for non-critical biasing and clamping functions |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor MMBZ5231BS | Single Zener (5.1 V), SOT23, ±5 %, 225 mW - no dual configuration or common-anode topology | Requires two devices and extra routing for dual-rail use; lacks integrated thermal tracking | Select only when single-rail reference suffices and board area is not constrained |
| Vishay BZX84-C7V5 | Single Zener (7.5 V), SOT23, ±5 %, 300 mW - no second cathode or common-anode capability | Cannot support simultaneous dual-reference or bidirectional clamping without external components | Choose if only one regulated rail is needed and cost-per-function is prioritized over integration |
Compared with MMBZ5231BS and BZX84-C7V5, BZB84-C7V5-QR uniquely delivers dual 7.5 V Zener regulation in one SOT23 footprint with matched thermal behavior and AEC-Q101 validation - making it the only option for space-limited automotive dual-reference designs requiring production-grade reliability.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current for BZB84-C7V5-QR at 7.5 V?
The device is rated for continuous Zener current up to 40 mA at 7.5 V, derived from its 300 mW total power dissipation limit (P = V × I → I = 300 mW / 7.5 V = 40 mA). Operation above this level requires thermal derating per the datasheet's ambient temperature curves.
Can BZB84-C7V5-QR be used for bidirectional ESD protection?
No - its common-anode dual-cathode structure supports only unidirectional clamping from either cathode to the shared anode. For true bidirectional protection, a dedicated TVS array or back-to-back Zener pair with separate anodes is required.
How does the temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy over –40 °C to +125 °C?
At 7.5 V, the specified temperature coefficient is +2.5 to +5.3 mV/K. Over a 165 K range, this introduces a worst-case drift of +0.87 V, meaning the actual Zener voltage may shift from ~7.0 V at –40 °C to ~7.9 V at +125 °C - a deviation within its ±5 % initial tolerance band.
Is the SOT23 footprint compatible with standard reflow profiles for lead-free assembly?
Yes - Nexperia specifies compatibility with IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020D reflow profiles. The recommended solder land pattern (Fig. 12) uses 0.6 mm × 0.6 mm pads with 0.7 mm spacing, supporting peak temperatures up to 260 °C for 10 seconds without delamination or parametric shift.
