Product details
Overview
BZX84B5V1Q-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is an AEC-Q101 qualified surface-mount precision Zener diode with 5.1 V nominal zener voltage (±2% tolerance), 350 mW power dissipation, and 60 Ω zener impedance at 5 mA test current. It operates across –65 °C to +150 °C and is used for voltage regulation and reference in automotive power supply monitoring circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84B5V1Q-7-F datasheet, BZX84B5V1Q-7-F pinout, BZX84B5V1Q-7-F application, or BZX84B5V1Q-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage accuracy, low dynamic impedance, automotive qualification, thermal resistance (357 °C/W), and SOT23 package compatibility with automated assembly.
Technical Context
This Zener diode functions as a two-terminal voltage reference device, operating in reverse breakdown mode with a specified zener test current of 5.0 mA and knee current of 1.0 mA. Its temperature coefficient is –2.7 mV/°C at 5 mA, enabling stable regulation under moderate thermal variation.
The device exhibits 480 Ω maximum zener impedance at knee current (1 mA), supporting reliable low-current reference behavior. Its 350 mW power rating applies under ambient-temperature terminal conditions, with derating required above 25 °C per the published curve.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMSZ5231B-TP (Micro Commercial) | Same 5.1 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, 500 mW PD, higher ZZT (17 Ω min, no max spec) | Non-automotive grade; lacks AEC-Q101 qualification and tighter tolerance | Select for cost-sensitive industrial designs where ±5% regulation is acceptable and automotive qualification is unnecessary. |
| BZX84-C5V1 (Diodes Inc., non-Q variant) | Same 5.1 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, identical SOT23 package, no AEC-Q101 validation | Standard commercial version; not rated for automotive temperature or reliability stress testing | Choose for consumer electronics or prototyping where full automotive qualification is not mandated. |
Compared with MMSZ5231B-TP and BZX84-C5V1, BZX84B5V1Q-7-F delivers superior voltage accuracy (±2% vs. ±5%), guaranteed automotive reliability, and lower specified zener impedance-critical for high-precision sensing and safety-critical power monitoring.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage before breakdown for BZX84B5V1Q-7-F?
The nominal zener voltage is 5.1 V with ±2% tolerance, meaning breakdown occurs between 5.0 V and 5.2 V at the specified 5 mA test current. The device is not rated for forward conduction beyond 0.9 V at 10 mA, and reverse breakdown is defined only in the specified zener region-not as a fixed threshold.
Can BZX84B5V1Q-7-F be used in parallel for higher power handling?
No-Zener diodes exhibit manufacturing variations in breakdown voltage, causing current imbalance when paralleled. Even matched units risk thermal runaway due to positive temperature coefficient above ~5 V. For higher power, use a single higher-rated Zener or a dedicated voltage reference IC.
Is the SOT23 pinout consistent across all BZX84 variants?
Yes-the BZX84B5V1Q-7-F uses standard SOT23 pinout: Pin 1 = Anode, Pin 2 = Cathode, Pin 3 = NC (non-connected). This matches all BZX84x variants from Diodes Incorporated and is confirmed in the top-view schematic and package outline documentation.
Does BZX84B5V1Q-7-F require external current limiting in shunt regulator configurations?
Yes-like all Zener diodes, it must be series-current-limited to prevent exceeding its 350 mW power rating. A minimum series resistor value is determined by (VIN – 5.1 V) / IZ, where IZ is selected between 1 mA (knee) and 5 mA (nominal test point) based on regulation and noise requirements.
