Product details
Overview
BZX84-B2V7/DG/B3,2 from Nexperia is a 2.7 V, 250 mW silicon planar Zener diode in SOT23 package, with ±5% tolerance, 90 Ω dynamic impedance at 5 mA, and 100 nA reverse leakage at 1 V, used for voltage regulation and reference in low-power analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84-B2V7/DG/B3,2 datasheet, BZX84-B2V7/DG/B3,2 pinout, BZX84-B2V7/DG/B3,2 application, or BZX84-B2V7/DG/B3,2 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, power dissipation limit, dynamic impedance at operating current, reverse leakage under bias, and SOT23 thermal performance in space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable voltage across its terminals when biased above its nominal Zener voltage. It is designed for low-current regulation (≤20 mA) and precision reference use where tight voltage tolerance and low dynamic impedance are required.
The device uses planar epitaxial process technology for consistent breakdown characteristics and long-term stability. Its SOT23 package supports surface-mount reflow assembly and provides adequate thermal dissipation for ≤250 mW continuous operation at ambient temperatures up to 60 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 2.7 V ±5% - defines regulated output voltage at test current of 5 mA |
| Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 250 mW - maximum continuous power handling in SOT23 at Tamb ≤ 60 °C |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 90 Ω at IZ = 5 mA - determines voltage regulation sensitivity to load current changes |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 100 nA at VR = 1 V - ensures minimal parasitic current draw in standby or high-impedance bias networks |
| Test Current (IZT) | 5 mA - standardized condition for specifying VZ and ZZ, used in design validation |
| Package | SOT23 - 3-pin surface-mount package with standard footprint and thermal pad layout |
Pinout & Package
SOT23 package with cathode-marked lead configuration: Pin 1 = Anode, Pin 2 = Cathode, Pin 3 = Not connected (NC). The cathode stripe identifies the polarity for correct orientation during PCB placement.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Anode | Connected to lower potential node; reverse-biased relative to cathode during regulation |
| Pin 2 | Cathode | Connected to higher potential node; carries regulated output voltage referenced to anode |
| Pin 3 | NC | No internal connection; electrically isolated and must remain unconnected in circuit |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Tight Zener voltage tolerance | ±5% at 5 mA enables accurate low-voltage reference without post-calibration |
| Low dynamic impedance | 90 Ω improves load regulation error to <15 mV per 1 mA load step |
| Low reverse leakage | 100 nA at 1 V minimizes quiescent current in battery-powered sensor bias networks |
| SOT23 package compatibility | Standard footprint allows drop-in replacement in existing 3-pin Zener layouts |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMSZ4675-7-F | 2.7 V ±5%, 500 mW rating, 100 Ω ZZ at 20 mA | Higher power handling supports >10 mA regulation current; larger SOD-123 package | Preferred when sustained current exceeds 15 mA or board layout allows larger footprint |
| BZX84-C2V7,215 | 2.7 V ±5%, 350 mW rating, 100 Ω ZZ at 5 mA, same SOT23 package | Higher Ptot enables greater thermal margin in compact enclosures | Drop-in upgrade for improved reliability in thermally constrained designs |
Compared with BZX84-B2V7/DG/B3,2, MMSZ4675-7-F offers higher power but requires SOD-123 layout change, while BZX84-C2V7,215 delivers identical electrical performance with enhanced thermal headroom in the same SOT23 footprint.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current this Zener diode can handle?
The BZX84-B2V7/DG/B3,2 is rated for 250 mW total power dissipation. At its 2.7 V Zener voltage, this corresponds to a maximum continuous reverse current of approximately 93 mA (250 mW ÷ 2.7 V), assuming no ambient temperature derating. Actual usable current is limited to ≤20 mA in typical PCB layouts to maintain stability and avoid thermal runaway.
Can this part be used in place of a 3.3 V Zener diode?
No - the BZX84-B2V7/DG/B3,2 has a nominal Zener voltage of 2.7 V ±5%, not 3.3 V. Substituting it for a 3.3 V device would result in incorrect regulation, potentially causing system malfunction or undervoltage lockout. A dedicated 3.3 V Zener such as BZX84-B3V3/DG/B3,2 must be selected instead.
Is the SOT23 package lead-free and RoHS compliant?
Yes - the BZX84-B2V7/DG/B3,2 is manufactured using lead-free solderable terminations and complies with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006. Full compliance documentation is available in Nexperia's official product declaration files.
How does dynamic impedance affect regulation accuracy in real circuits?
Dynamic impedance (90 Ω at 5 mA) directly determines how much the Zener voltage shifts with load current changes. For example, a 1 mA variation in cathode current causes ~90 mV output shift - critical in precision references. Designers must limit current excursions or add buffering to maintain regulation accuracy within required tolerances.
