Product details
Overview
BZX84C2V4Q-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is an automotive-grade 2.4V Zener diode in SOT23 package, rated for 350mW power dissipation at 25°C ambient, with ±0.2V zener voltage tolerance at 5mA test current and 100Ω maximum zener impedance at 5mA. It provides precision voltage reference and overvoltage clamping in low-power analog signal conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84C2V4Q-7-F datasheet, BZX84C2V4Q-7-F pinout, BZX84C2V4Q-7-F application, or BZX84C2V4Q-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage accuracy (2.2–2.6V), low thermal resistance (357°C/W), AEC-Q101 qualification, and SOT23-compatible footprint for space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable voltage across its terminals under varying load or supply conditions. Its planar die construction ensures consistent breakdown characteristics and long-term stability, while the matte tin-plated alloy 42 leadframe guarantees reliable solderability per MIL-STD-202.
The device exhibits a negative temperature coefficient of –3.5mV/°C near 2.4V, enabling predictable drift compensation in temperature-sensitive references. Its 1.0µA maximum reverse leakage at 1.0V supports ultra-low standby current designs in battery-powered systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 2.4V nominal, 2.2–2.6V range at 5mA - defines precise clamping/reference point for 3.3V or lower rail monitoring |

| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | ≤100Ω at 5mA - ensures minimal voltage shift under dynamic load transients |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤50µA at VR = 1.0V - enables use in high-impedance bias networks without loading error |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 357°C/W - allows direct thermal modeling on standard FR-4 PCBs with recommended pad layout |
| Temperature Coefficient | –3.5mV/°C - enables predictable voltage drift correction in industrial temperature ranges (–40°C to +125°C) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMSZ4678T1G | Zener voltage 2.4V (same nominal), but ±5% tolerance (2.28–2.52V); 500mW rating; SOD-123 package | Larger footprint and higher power handling - suitable where board space permits and thermal margin >100mW is required | Select when higher surge robustness is needed and SOT23 footprint is not constrained |
| BZX384-C2V4,115 | Same 2.4V nominal, ±5% tolerance; 300mW rating; SOD-323 package; no AEC-Q101 qualification | Smaller 1.7×1.25mm footprint but lacks automotive reliability validation and has higher RθJA (450°C/W) | Select for cost-sensitive consumer applications where AEC-Q101 is not mandated |
Compared with MMSZ4678T1G and BZX384-C2V4,115, BZX84C2V4Q-7-F offers tighter voltage tolerance (±0.2V), lower thermal resistance (357°C/W), and AEC-Q101 qualification - making it optimal for automotive and industrial applications demanding precision, reliability, and thermal efficiency in SOT23 form factor.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage (VR) before significant leakage occurs?
The BZX84C2V4Q-7-F exhibits ≤50µA reverse current at VR = 1.0V and ≤1.0µA at VR = 0.5V. Significant leakage (>10µA) begins only above 1.0V, well below its 2.2V minimum zener knee voltage - confirming effective blocking behavior in forward-biased protection roles.
Does this part support reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020?
Yes - the SOT23 package uses matte tin finish over alloy 42 leadframe, qualified for lead-free reflow per JEDEC J-STD-020 Class 3 peak temperature (260°C). Moisture sensitivity level 1 eliminates bake requirements prior to assembly.
How does the –3.5mV/°C temperature coefficient impact circuit design?
This negative coefficient means output voltage decreases by 3.5mV per °C rise. In precision references, it must be compensated using complementary positive-TC components (e.g., PTAT bias currents) or calibrated in firmware - especially critical in automotive ambient ranges (–40°C to +125°C).
Is the "Q" suffix strictly for automotive qualification?
Yes - the "Q" in BZX84C2V4Q-7-F denotes full AEC-Q101 qualification, including extended temperature testing, accelerated life stress, and failure analysis. Non-Q variants (e.g., BZX84C2V4-7-F) meet commercial specifications only and lack automotive reliability documentation.
