Product details
Overview
BZX84B5V6Q-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is an AEC-Q101 qualified, ±2% tolerance precision Zener diode in SOT23 package, rated for 350 mW power dissipation and 5.6 V nominal Zener voltage at 5 mA test current, with 40 Ω dynamic impedance and -2.0 mV/°C temperature coefficient - used for voltage regulation and reference in automotive power supply monitoring circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84B5V6Q-7-F datasheet, BZX84B5V6Q-7-F pinout, BZX84B5V6Q-7-F application, or BZX84B5V6Q-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance (357 °C/W), reverse leakage (<1.0 µA at 2.0 V), junction-to-ambient thermal performance, and automotive qualification status.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable voltage under varying load and temperature conditions. Its 5.6 V nominal Zener voltage is specified at 5 mA test current, with tight ±2% tolerance and low 40 Ω impedance at that point, ensuring minimal voltage deviation across operating current range.
The device features a negative temperature coefficient of -2.0 mV/°C, enabling predictable drift compensation in reference designs. It is qualified to AEC-Q101 standards and built in a green, halogen-free SOT23 package with matte tin-plated terminals suitable for lead-free reflow soldering.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5232BS-7-F | Same 5.6 V nominal, but ±5% tolerance and 225 mW rating; higher 100 Ω ZZT. | Limited to non-automotive consumer power rails where tighter regulation isn't required. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs voltage accuracy and thermal margin needs. |
| BZX84-C5V6-7-F | Same SOT23 package and 5.6 V nominal, but ±5% tolerance and no AEC-Q101 qualification. | Suitable for industrial controls but not automotive ECUs due to unqualified reliability testing. | Choose only for non-automotive designs where qualification documentation is not mandated. |
Compared with MMBZ5232BS-7-F and BZX84-C5V6-7-F, BZX84B5V6Q-7-F delivers superior voltage accuracy, higher power handling, and certified automotive reliability - making it the sole choice for safety-critical voltage supervision in AEC-Q101-compliant systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage (VR) this Zener can withstand before breakdown?
The BZX84B5V6Q-7-F has a nominal Zener voltage of 5.6 V at 5 mA, and its reverse breakdown is specified to occur within 5.49–5.71 V. It is not rated for sustained reverse voltage above its Zener voltage - operation beyond this range risks irreversible avalanche damage unless current-limited to ≤350 mW.
Does this part require a series resistor in all applications?
Yes - a current-limiting resistor is mandatory to prevent thermal runaway. For example, at 12 V supply and 5.6 V Zener voltage, a 1 kΩ resistor limits current to ~6.4 mA, keeping power dissipation below 350 mW while maintaining regulation stability across temperature.
How does the -2.0 mV/°C temperature coefficient affect long-term stability?
The negative coefficient means output voltage decreases by 2.0 mV per °C rise in junction temperature. Over a -40°C to +125°C range, total drift is ~330 mV - acceptable for non-precision monitoring but requires compensation in high-accuracy references using matched components or calibration.
Is the SOT23 pinout compatible with legacy BZX84 series parts?
Yes - all BZX84 variants use identical SOT23 pinout: Pin 1 = Anode, Pin 2 = Cathode, Pin 3 = NC (die attach). The Q-suffix denotes AEC-Q101 qualification but retains full mechanical and electrical pin compatibility with standard BZX84 parts.
