Product details
Overview
BZX84B33-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a precision 33 V ±2% tolerance Zener diode in SOT23 package, rated for 350 mW power dissipation at ambient temperature, with 80 Ω maximum Zener impedance at 2 mA test current and 0.1 µA maximum reverse leakage at 23.1 V, used for voltage regulation and reference in low-power analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84B33-7-F datasheet, BZX84B33-7-F pinout, BZX84B33-7-F application, or BZX84B33-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±2%), thermal resistance (357 °C/W), junction-to-ambient derating behavior, and AEC-Q101 qualification status for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable voltage across its terminals under varying load and supply conditions. It exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +27.4 mV/°C above 12 V, enabling predictable drift compensation in reference designs.
The device delivers 33 V nominal regulation at 2 mA test current (IZT), with 32.3–33.7 V guaranteed range, 325 Ω maximum knee impedance (ZZK) at 0.5 mA, and 0.1 µA reverse current (IR) at VR = 23.1 V - confirming tight regulation and low leakage for precision biasing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 33 V nominal, 32.3–33.7 V min/max at 2 mA - ensures stable reference within ±2% tolerance for feedback loops. |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 350 mW at TA = 25°C with terminals held at ambient - defines maximum continuous power before thermal derating applies. |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 80 Ω max at IZT = 2 mA - indicates low dynamic resistance for minimal output voltage variation under load changes. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.1 µA max at VR = 23.1 V - confirms high blocking integrity below breakdown, critical for low-current bias networks. |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 357 °C/W - quantifies junction-to-ambient heat transfer efficiency on standard FR-4 PCB with recommended pad layout. |
| Temperature Coefficient | +27.4 mV/°C - enables predictable voltage drift compensation in temperature-sensitive references. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT23 - surface-mount, 3-terminal plastic case with matte tin-plated Alloy 42 leadframe, moisture sensitivity level 1, weight ≈ 0.008 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Pin 1) | Forward conduction terminal / cathode reference ground node | Connected to circuit ground or lower-potential node; polarity must match schematic symbol to avoid forward conduction during regulation. |
| Cathode (Pin 2) | Zener regulation output / voltage reference node | Provides regulated 33 V relative to anode; serves as stable bias point for op-amp references or ADC voltage references. |
| No-Connect (Pin 3) | Internal die attach flag / mechanical support | Not electrically connected; functions solely as structural reinforcement and thermal path enhancement in SOT23 mold compound. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ±2% Zener voltage tolerance | Enables direct replacement in precision 33 V reference designs without recalibration or resistor trimming. |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validates suitability for automotive electronics including body control modules and sensor signal conditioning where reliability is mandated. |
| Lead-free, halogen-free "Green" construction | Meets RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity Level 1 requirements for automated reflow assembly. |
| 350 mW power rating with defined derating curve | Supports operation up to +125°C ambient when mounted per recommended pad layout, enabling use in compact industrial enclosures. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5262B-7-F | 33 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, 350 mW, 100 Ω ZZT at 5 mA | Higher voltage tolerance and impedance reduce regulation accuracy in precision references | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs ±2% requirement and higher test current (5 mA vs. 2 mA) is acceptable. |
| BZX84-C33-7-F | 33 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, same SOT23 package and 350 mW rating | Lacks AEC-Q101 qualification and tighter tolerance; not suitable for automotive deployments | Choose only for non-automotive consumer applications where ±5% regulation is sufficient and qualification is not required. |
Compared with MMBZ5262B-7-F and BZX84-C33-7-F, BZX84B33-7-F provides superior voltage stability (±2% vs. ±5%), lower dynamic impedance (80 Ω vs. ≥100 Ω), and automotive-grade reliability - making it optimal for safety-critical or high-accuracy analog subsystems.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for BZX84B33-7-F?
The absolute maximum junction temperature is +150°C, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. Operation above this limit risks permanent degradation of Zener characteristics and packaging integrity. Derating begins at +25°C ambient per Figure 1, reducing power handling linearly to zero at +150°C junction.
Does BZX84B33-7-F require a series current-limiting resistor in shunt regulator configurations?
Yes - a series resistor is mandatory to limit Zener current within the 2 mA test condition and prevent exceeding 350 mW dissipation. For a 36 V input supplying 33 V to a 10 kΩ load, a minimum 1.5 kΩ resistor ensures safe operation while maintaining regulation across load variations.
How does the +27.4 mV/°C temperature coefficient affect circuit performance?
This positive coefficient means output voltage increases by 27.4 mV per degree Celsius rise in junction temperature. In precision references, it necessitates either thermal shielding, compensation networks, or firmware-based offset correction - especially in environments with >30°C ambient swings.
Is BZX84B33-7-F compatible with lead-free reflow soldering profiles?
Yes - it is fully RoHS 3 compliant with matte tin finish on Alloy 42 leads and qualified for peak reflow temperatures up to 260°C per JEDEC J-STD-020. Its moisture sensitivity level 1 eliminates bake requirements prior to assembly, supporting high-yield automated placement and reflow.
