Product details
Overview
BZB984-C5V1,115 from Nexperia is a dual Zener voltage regulator diode in SOT663 package, configured as two cathodes sharing a common anode (CA–K1–K2), with nominal 5.1 V regulation at 5 mA, ±5% tolerance, and 400 Ω typical differential resistance. It delivers ESD/surge protection and low-power voltage reference functions in space-constrained consumer and industrial PCBs.
For engineers reviewing the BZB984-C5V1,115 datasheet, BZB984-C5V1,115 pinout, BZB984-C5V1,115 application, or BZB984-C5V1,115 equivalent, this device is selected for dual-rail clamping, precision biasing in analog front-ends, and compact dual-Zener reference generation where thermal coupling and footprint minimization are critical.
Technical Context
This double Zener diode integrates two independent 5.1 V Zener elements sharing a single anode terminal, enabling symmetrical bidirectional clamping or independent low-current regulation paths. Its CA–K1–K2 topology supports both series-shunt and parallel-shunt configurations without external node splitting.
Designed for operation at ≤25 °C ambient on FR4 PCB with standard footprint, it sustains 265 mW total dissipation when one diode is active and 425 mW when both are simultaneously loaded - validated under IEC 60134 absolute maximum ratings with 150 °C junction limit and 125 K/W junction-to-solder-point thermal resistance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VZ @ IZ = 5 mA | 4.8 V to 5.4 V - defines usable regulation window for stable 5.1 V reference under nominal bias |
| rdif | 400 Ω max - limits output impedance drift across load current changes in reference circuits |
| IR @ VR = 2 V | 2 μA max - ensures minimal leakage in high-impedance bias networks |
| VF @ IF = 10 mA | 0.9 V max - enables forward conduction for bidirectional transient suppression |
| Ptot (2 diodes) | 425 mW - sets maximum continuous power budget for dual-diode operation on standard FR4 |
| Tj max | 150 °C - constrains thermal design margin when mounted on single-sided tin-plated PCB |
| Rth(j-sp) | 125 K/W - quantifies thermal path efficiency from junction to solder point for reliability modeling |
Pinout & Package
SOT663 ultra-small flat plastic SMD package (1.7 × 1.5 × 0.5 mm) with gull-wing leads; optimized for reflow soldering only per Nexperia's footprint guidelines (2.45 mm × 1.6 mm land pattern).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (K1) | Cathode 1 | Primary Zener cathode for first 5.1 V regulation path; reverse-biased during clamping |
| 2 (K2) | Cathode 2 | Independent second cathode enabling dual-rail or redundant reference capability |
| 3 (CA) | Common Anode | Shared anode node allowing compact dual-Zener integration without discrete interconnect |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual Zener architecture | Two matched 5.1 V Zeners sharing CA terminal - eliminates board routing between anodes and reduces layout area by ~40% vs discrete pair |
| ±5% VZ tolerance | Guarantees regulation within 4.8–5.4 V at 5 mA - suitable for non-critical biasing and clamping where tight tolerance isn't required |
| Ultra-small SOT663 footprint | 1.7 mm × 1.5 mm body - fits in <1.5 mm² PCB area, ideal for wearables and sensor modules with strict size constraints |
| ESD/surge-rated construction | Withstands 40 W non-repetitive peak reverse power (tp = 100 μs) - provides robust transient immunity in I/O protection circuits |
| Low thermal resistance | Rth(j-sp) = 125 K/W (2 diodes) - enables higher sustained power handling than comparable SOD-323 dual diodes |
Applications
| USB Port ESD Protection | Low-Power Sensor Biasing |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5221BS-7-F (Diodes Inc.) | Single-anode dual-cathode SOT-363; VZ = 2.4 V, 5% tol., rdif = 30 Ω max | Lower VZ, tighter rdif, but lower Ptot (200 mW) and no 5.1 V option | Select for 2.4 V reference or tighter impedance control; not drop-in for 5.1 V systems |
| BZX84-C5V1 (Nexperia) | Single Zener in SOT-23; same VZ/tolerance, but no dual-diode topology or CA–K1–K2 pinout | Requires two devices + extra routing for dual-rail use; larger total footprint (2× SOT-23 vs 1× SOT663) | Select when dual functionality is unnecessary or when legacy SOT-23 layout compatibility is mandatory |
Compared with MMBZ5221BS-7-F and BZX84-C5V1, the BZB984-C5V1,115 uniquely delivers matched 5.1 V dual regulation in minimal area with integrated common anode - eliminating component count, routing complexity, and thermal mismatch penalties inherent in discrete solutions.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current the BZB984-C5V1,115 can sustain at 5.1 V?
The device is rated for 5 mA nominal Zener test current, with maximum continuous reverse current limited by thermal dissipation: at 25 °C ambient on FR4, 265 mW total power allows ~52 mA average current if VZ remains stable, but derating is required above 25 °C per Rth(j-a) = 472 K/W (1 diode loaded). Sustained operation above 10 mA requires thermal analysis.
Can the BZB984-C5V1,115 be used for bidirectional TVS protection?
No - it is not rated as a TVS diode. While its 40 W non-repetitive peak reverse power (tp = 100 μs) supports surge clamping, it lacks specified IEC 61000-4-5 waveforms, clamping voltage curves, or guaranteed response time. It functions as a Zener regulator/clamp, not a dedicated transient suppressor.
How does the common anode configuration affect circuit layout compared to dual SOT-23 Zeners?
The CA–K1–K2 pinout eliminates the need for separate anode traces, reducing net count by one and minimizing parasitic inductance between anodes. Layout occupies 1.7 mm × 1.5 mm versus ≥4.5 mm² for two SOT-23 devices, and ensures identical thermal coupling - critical for matched temperature drift in reference applications.
Is the BZB984-C5V1,115 automotive qualified?
No - per Nexperia's revision history (Rev. 3, Dec 2022), this part is explicitly marked "non-automotive qualified" and has not undergone AEC-Q101 stress testing or automotive-grade process qualification. It is intended for commercial and industrial applications only.
