Product details
Overview
BZX84C10_D87Z from ON Semiconductor is a 10 V ±5% Zener diode in SOT-23 package, rated for 250 mW power dissipation at 25°C ambient, with 10 Ω dynamic impedance at 20 mA and 0.9 V forward voltage at 10 mA. It provides precision voltage regulation in low-power biasing, reference, and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84C10_D87Z datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±5%), thermal resistance (465°C/W), leakage current (≤0.2 µA at 7.0 V), capacitance (130 pF at 0 V), and temperature coefficient (+4.5 mV/°C).
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference diode, conducting in reverse breakdown to maintain stable voltage across its terminals under varying load or supply conditions. Its design targets low-current (<20 mA) regulation tasks where thermal budget and board space are constrained.
The BZX84C10_D87Z exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +4.5 mV/°C at 5.0 mA, enabling predictable drift compensation in temperature-sensitive references. Its 130 pF junction capacitance at 0 V supports moderate-frequency noise filtering without compromising stability in analog feedback paths.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance of BZX84C10_D87Z?
The BZX84C10_D87Z has a zener voltage tolerance of ±5%, meaning its nominal 10 V breakdown occurs between 9.4 V and 10.7 V at 20 mA test current. This tolerance is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table of the official ON Semiconductor datasheet Rev. 1.10, and applies directly to the BZX84C10_D87Z variant without deviation.
What is the maximum power dissipation for BZX84C10_D87Z at 25°C ambient?
The BZX84C10_D87Z is rated for 250 mW power dissipation at TA = 25°C when mounted on a standard FR-4 PCB (76.2 mm × 114.3 mm). This value is specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and must be thermally derated above 25°C using the 465°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance to avoid exceeding the 150°C maximum junction temperature.
Does BZX84C10_D87Z have a specified temperature coefficient?
Yes, the BZX84C10_D87Z has a temperature coefficient of +4.5 mV/°C at 5.0 mA zener current, as documented in the Electrical Characteristics table. This positive coefficient reflects how its zener voltage increases linearly with temperature and is essential for designing temperature-stable references or compensation networks involving the BZX84C10_D87Z.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for BZX84C10_D87Z?
The reverse leakage current for BZX84C10_D87Z is specified as ≤0.2 µA at VR = 7.0 V, per the Electrical Characteristics table. This low leakage ensures minimal parasitic loading in high-impedance circuits such as sensor bias networks or precision voltage dividers where the BZX84C10_D87Z is deployed.
Is BZX84C10_D87Z compatible with standard SOT-23 footprints?
Yes, the BZX84C10_D87Z uses the industry-standard SOT-23 package with cathode-anode-cathode pinout (Pin 1 = anode, Pins 2 & 3 = cathode). Its mechanical dimensions (2.9 mm × 1.3 mm) and lead pitch match JEDEC TO-236AB specifications, ensuring full compatibility with automated placement equipment and existing SOT-23 land patterns used for the BZX84C10_D87Z.
