Product details
Overview
BZX384-B8V2,115 from Nexperia is a ±2 % tolerance Zener voltage regulator diode in SOD323 (SC-76) package, rated for 8.2 V nominal breakdown voltage at 5 mA, 300 mW total power dissipation, and 150 °C maximum junction temperature. It provides stable reference voltage in low-power linear regulators, overvoltage protection circuits, and biasing networks for analog signal conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the BZX384-B8V2,115 datasheet, BZX384-B8V2,115 pinout, BZX384-B8V2,115 application, or BZX384-B8V2,115 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±2 %), differential resistance (≤80 Ω at IZ = 5 mA), thermal resistance (110 K/W to solder point), and non-repetitive surge capability (4.0 A peak reverse current).
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse-biased avalanche mode with a specified 8.2 V working voltage at 5 mA test current. Its temperature coefficient is +3.2 mV/K at IZ = 5 mA, indicating positive drift with rising junction temperature - critical for precision reference stability across operating ranges.
The device features low dynamic impedance (80 Ω max at 5 mA), enabling tight regulation under varying load conditions. Its SOD323 package delivers compact mounting with verified thermal performance: Rth(j–sp) = 110 K/W to cathode solder point, supporting reliable operation up to 150 °C junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 8.04 V to 8.36 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines regulated output range in shunt configuration |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | ≤80 Ω at IZ = 5 mA - determines regulation stiffness against current variation |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤0.7 μA at VR = 6.56 V - ensures minimal leakage below knee voltage |
| Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 300 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C on FR4 PCB - sets continuous DC power limit in standard layout |
| Non-repetitive Peak Current (IZSM) | 4.0 A at tp = 100 μs - supports transient overvoltage clamping without failure |
| Temperature Coefficient (SZ) | +3.2 mV/K at IZ = 5 mA - quantifies voltage drift per degree Celsius rise in junction temp |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | −65 °C to +150 °C - defines safe silicon operating envelope for reliability |
Pinout & Package

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5231BS-7-F | 8.2 V ±5 % tolerance; 200 mW Ptot; SOT-323 package | Higher rdif (150 Ω); lower surge rating (2.5 A) | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs regulation precision and surge robustness |
| BZX384-C8V2,115 | 8.2 V ±5 % tolerance; identical package and Ptot | Higher IR (≤1.0 μA at VR = 6.56 V); same SZ (+3.2 mV/K) | Choose for non-critical biasing where ±5 % VZ suffices and leakage margin is acceptable |
Compared with MMBZ5231BS-7-F, BZX384-B8V2,115 offers tighter tolerance and higher surge immunity; versus BZX384-C8V2,115, it delivers superior voltage accuracy at the cost of slightly higher unit price - optimal for precision analog references.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current for BZX384-B8V2,115 at 25 °C ambient?
The device is rated for 250 mA maximum forward current, but its continuous reverse (Zener) current is limited by power dissipation: at 25 °C ambient on FR4 PCB, 300 mW / 8.2 V ≈ 36.6 mA is the practical upper limit for sustained operation without exceeding thermal limits.
How does the +3.2 mV/K temperature coefficient affect long-term reference stability?
A +3.2 mV/K coefficient means the Zener voltage increases by 3.2 mV per °C rise in junction temperature. Over a 100 °C junction swing (25 °C to 125 °C), this yields +320 mV drift - approximately +3.9 % of nominal 8.2 V - requiring thermal design mitigation or compensation in precision applications.
Can BZX384-B8V2,115 replace BZX384-A8V2 in existing designs?
Yes, but with trade-offs: BZX384-A8V2 has tighter ±1 % tolerance (8.11–8.29 V) versus BZX384-B8V2's ±2 % (8.04–8.36 V). If system-level regulation accuracy requires <±1.5 %, the A-grade part is preferred; otherwise, the B-grade offers cost advantage with identical package, thermal, and surge ratings.
Is this device qualified for automotive applications?
No - the BZX384-B8V2,115 is not automotive-qualified. Per Nexperia's revision history (Rev. 4, Jan 2023), the BZX384 series was explicitly changed to non-automotive qualification. For automotive use, consult Nexperia's separate -Q qualified Zener families such as PZTA44-Q or BZX84-Q series.
