Product details
Overview
BZX384-B2V7-Q from Nexperia is a ±2 % tolerance Zener voltage regulator diode in SOD323 (SC-76) package, rated for 2.7 V nominal breakdown at 5 mA, with 300 mW total power dissipation and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive voltage reference and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZX384-B2V7-Q datasheet, BZX384-B2V7-Q pinout, BZX384-B2V7-Q application, or BZX384-B2V7-Q equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal behavior, automotive-grade reliability data, and real-world design context for low-power precision regulation in constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device operates as a reverse-biased Zener diode with a specified 2.7 V breakdown voltage at IZ = 5 mA, differential resistance ≤600 Ω, and temperature coefficient of −3.5 to 0.0 mV/K - enabling stable low-voltage reference generation across ambient temperatures from −65 °C to +150 °C.
Its 300 mW steady-state power rating and 40 W non-repetitive peak reverse power capability support transient suppression in automotive subsystems, while its 110 K/W junction-to-solder-point thermal resistance ensures reliable heat transfer on FR4 PCBs with standard SOD323 footprint.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Breakdown Voltage VZ | 2.65 V to 2.75 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines precise clamping threshold for 2.7 V rail regulation |
| Total Power Dissipation Ptot | 300 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling on standard FR4 PCB |
| Differential Resistance rdif | ≤600 Ω at IZ = 5 mA - determines output impedance and regulation sensitivity to current variation |
| Reverse Current IR | ≤100 μA at VR = 1 V - ensures low leakage in standby mode for battery-powered systems |
| Junction Temperature Tj | −65 °C to +150 °C - supports operation in under-hood automotive environments without derating |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes - validated for automotive discrete semiconductor stress testing including HTGB, HTRB, and ESD |
| Package | SOD323 (SC-76) - 1.35 mm × 0.85 mm surface-mount footprint with cathode marking bar |
Pinout & Package
SOD323 (SC-76) plastic surface-mounted package with 2 leads; cathode marked by a visible bar on the top surface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (K) | Connected to regulated output node; reverse-bias terminal where breakdown occurs |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Connected to ground or lower-potential reference; completes Zener conduction path |
Key Features

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Transient voltage suppressor placed between VBUS and GND to limit excursion to ≤2.75 V. Use Value: 40 W non-repetitive peak power rating absorbs IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 (15 kV air) surges without failure. |
| Industrial PLC Input Protection | Low-Power MCU Reset Circuit |
|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX384-A2V7-Q | ±1 % tolerance (2.67–2.73 V), higher cost, identical package and thermal specs | Required only where tighter regulation is mandated by system-level accuracy budget | Select when reference stability < ±0.03 V is critical; otherwise BZX384-B2V7-Q offers optimal cost/performance balance |
| BZX384-C2V7-Q | ±5 % tolerance (2.50–2.90 V), lower cost, same power and thermal ratings | Suitable for non-critical biasing where 0.4 V window is acceptable | Choose for cost-sensitive consumer electronics where absolute voltage accuracy is secondary to BOM reduction |
Compared with BZX384-A2V7-Q, the BZX384-B2V7-Q trades 1 % tolerance for lower unit cost while retaining full AEC-Q101 compliance; versus BZX384-C2V7-Q, it delivers twice the voltage accuracy without sacrificing surge robustness or thermal performance.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current for BZX384-B2V7-Q?
The device is not intended for forward conduction; its absolute maximum forward current is 250 mA per limiting values table, but typical operation occurs in reverse breakdown. Forward voltage is 0.9 V at 10 mA pulse test conditions - sustained forward bias risks thermal runaway and permanent damage.
How does the −3.5 to 0.0 mV/K temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy over temperature?
This coefficient means the breakdown voltage decreases by up to 3.5 mV per Kelvin rise near 2.7 V - resulting in ~0.38 V drift from −40 °C to +125 °C. For applications needing tighter thermal stability, consider using the diode in constant-current bias or selecting higher-VZ variants with positive coefficients.
Can BZX384-B2V7-Q replace a 2.7 V TL431-based shunt regulator?
No - the TL431 is an adjustable precision shunt regulator with active feedback, while BZX384-B2V7-Q is a passive two-terminal Zener. It lacks current amplification, adjustable threshold, or dynamic response; use only where fixed 2.7 V clamping suffices and no feedback loop is required.
Is the SOD323 package compatible with standard reflow soldering profiles?
Yes - Nexperia specifies compatibility with JEDEC J-STD-020D reflow profiles. The recommended footprint uses 0.5 mm wide solder lands (2×), 0.6 mm spacing, and 1.5 mm length per pad; peak temperature must not exceed 260 °C for ≤30 seconds to avoid package delamination.
