Product details
Overview
BZX84B3V3-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a precision 3.3 V ±2% tolerance Zener diode in SOT23 package, rated for 350 mW power dissipation at 25°C ambient, with 95 Ω dynamic impedance at 5 mA test current and 5 µA maximum reverse leakage at 1.0 V. It serves as a stable voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in low-power analog and digital supply regulation circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84B3V3-7-F datasheet, BZX84B3V3-7-F pinout, BZX84B3V3-7-F application, or BZX84B3V3-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance (357 °C/W), junction-to-ambient derating behavior, and AEC-Q101 qualification status for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain a stable 3.3 V reference across load and line variations. Its ±2% initial tolerance and low temperature coefficient (–3.5 mV/°C) enable high-accuracy voltage clamping in precision biasing and feedback networks.
The SOT23 package supports automated placement and reflow soldering, with lead-free matte tin plating and halogen/antimony-free "Green" molding compound compliant to RoHS 3 and AEC-Q101. Thermal performance is validated under JEDEC J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 3.3 V nominal, 3.23–3.37 V range at 5 mA - ensures tight regulation in reference circuits |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 350 mW at TA = 25°C - defines maximum continuous DC power before thermal derating |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 95 Ω at IZT = 5 mA - determines AC ripple rejection capability in shunt regulator designs |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 5.0 µA max at VR = 1.0 V - limits standby current in low-power battery applications |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 357 °C/W - quantifies junction-to-ambient heat transfer efficiency on standard FR-4 PCB |
| Temperature Coefficient | –3.5 mV/°C - enables predictable drift compensation in temperature-stable references |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5226BS-7-F | Same 3.3 V nominal, but ±5% tolerance and 200 mW rating | Limited to non-critical biasing where tighter regulation is not required | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs precision and power margin needs |
| BZX84-C3V3 | Same SOT23 package and 3.3 V rating, but ±5% tolerance and no AEC-Q101 qualification | Restricted to commercial-grade consumer electronics | Choose only for non-automotive, non-industrial applications with relaxed reliability requirements |
Compared with MMBZ5226BS-7-F and BZX84-C3V3, BZX84B3V3-7-F delivers superior voltage accuracy (±2% vs. ±5%), higher power handling (350 mW vs. 200/300 mW), and automotive-grade qualification-making it the preferred choice for safety-critical or thermally constrained designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage this Zener can withstand before breakdown?
The BZX84B3V3-7-F has a nominal Zener voltage of 3.3 V with a guaranteed range of 3.23 V to 3.37 V at 5 mA test current. Breakdown occurs within this specified range; it is not rated for sustained operation above 3.37 V in reverse bias without exceeding its power limit or causing thermal runaway.
Is this part suitable for use in automotive applications?
Yes - BZX84B3V3-7-F is explicitly qualified to AEC-Q101 standards, including high-temperature operating life, temperature cycling, and humidity testing. Its SOT23 package, lead-free finish, and green molding compound meet automotive manufacturing and environmental requirements.
How does the thermal resistance affect real-world power handling?
With RθJA = 357 °C/W, the junction temperature rises ~357°C per watt dissipated. At 25°C ambient and 350 mW, ΔT ≈ 125°C, resulting in TJ ≈ 150°C - the absolute maximum rating. Derating is required above 50°C ambient to stay within safe operating limits.
Can this Zener be used in place of a 3.3 V voltage regulator IC?
No - it functions only as a shunt regulator and cannot source current like a linear regulator. It requires a series resistor to limit current and dissipate excess power. Use is limited to low-current reference or clamping roles, not active regulation of variable loads.
