Product details
Overview
BZX84B7V5-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a precision 7.5 V ±2% tolerance Zener diode in SOT23 package, rated for 350 mW power dissipation at ambient temperature, with 15 Ω dynamic impedance at 5 mA test current and 2.5 mV/°C positive temperature coefficient - used for voltage regulation and reference in low-power analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84B7V5-7-F datasheet, BZX84B7V5-7-F pinout, BZX84B7V5-7-F application, or BZX84B7V5-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, thermal stability across -65°C to +150°C, low reverse leakage (≤1.0 µA at 5.0 V), and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable voltage under varying load and temperature conditions. Its 7.5 V nominal Zener voltage is specified at 5.0 mA test current, with tight ±2% tolerance and low 15 Ω impedance ensuring minimal voltage deviation during transient current changes.
The device exhibits a +2.5 mV/°C temperature coefficient above 6 V, enabling predictable drift compensation in reference designs. It is qualified to AEC-Q101, confirming suitability for automotive electronics where thermal cycling and long-term stability are critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 7.5 V nominal, 7.35–7.65 V range at 5 mA - ensures precise voltage clamping in feedback loops and references. |
| Power Dissipation | 350 mW at ambient temperature - supports continuous operation in compact PCB layouts without forced cooling. |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 15 Ω at 5 mA - minimizes output voltage variation under load current shifts in regulator circuits. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤1.0 µA at 5.0 V - reduces quiescent current loss in battery-powered voltage monitor applications. |
| Temperature Coefficient | +2.5 mV/°C - enables predictable voltage drift correction in temperature-compensated references. |
| Operating Temperature | -65°C to +150°C - meets extended-range requirements for under-hood automotive and industrial control modules. |
| Package | SOT23 - surface-mount footprint compatible with automated pick-and-place and reflow assembly. |
Pinout & Package

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5236BS-7-F | 7.5 V, ±5% tolerance, 300 mW, SOT23 - higher impedance (30 Ω), wider VZ spread. | Acceptable for non-critical biasing but not suitable for precision references requiring <±0.15 V stability. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs voltage accuracy and thermal drift requirements. |
| BZX84-C7V5 | 7.5 V, ±5% tolerance, 350 mW, SOT23 - no AEC-Q101 qualification, higher leakage (≤5 µA at 5 V). | Limited to commercial-grade consumer electronics; unsuitable for automotive or industrial environments. | Choose only for non-automotive applications where qualification and long-term reliability are not mandated. |
Compared with MMBZ5236BS-7-F and BZX84-C7V5, BZX84B7V5-7-F delivers superior voltage accuracy, lower thermal drift, and automotive-grade qualification - making it the preferred choice for safety-critical and high-stability reference designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse current specification for BZX84B7V5-7-F at 5.0 V?
The maximum reverse current (IR) is 1.0 µA at VR = 5.0 V and TA = 25°C, per the Electrical Characteristics table. This low leakage supports energy-efficient operation in always-on monitoring circuits and extends battery life in portable devices.
Is BZX84B7V5-7-F suitable for automotive applications?
Yes - it is explicitly qualified to AEC-Q101 standards, with operating temperature range from -65°C to +150°C and moisture sensitivity level 1. These attributes validate its use in engine control units, ADAS camera modules, and other under-hood automotive systems.
How does the +2.5 mV/°C temperature coefficient affect circuit performance?
This positive coefficient means VZ increases by 2.5 mV per °C rise in junction temperature. In precision references, it can be leveraged to offset negative TC elements (e.g., silicon sensors), improving overall system accuracy without additional compensation components.
What is the thermal resistance (RθJA) when mounted on FR-4 PCB with recommended pads?
The thermal resistance from junction to ambient is 357°C/W under standard mounting conditions (Note 6), assuming terminals are held at ambient temperature. With optimized pad layout per Diodes' guidelines, this enables safe 350 mW dissipation without exceeding 150°C junction limit at 25°C ambient.
