Product details
Overview
BZX84C2V7W-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a 2.7 V, 200 mW surface-mount Zener diode in SOT-323 package, rated for 5 mA test current with 2.5–2.9 V zener voltage tolerance and 100 Ω dynamic impedance at 5 mA, used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in low-power analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84C2V7W-7-F datasheet, BZX84C2V7W-7-F pinout, BZX84C2V7W-7-F application, or BZX84C2V7W-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage accuracy at 5 mA, thermal resistance (625 K/W), reverse leakage (20 µA @ 1.0 V), temperature coefficient (−3.5 to 0 mV/°C), and RoHS-compliant green molding compound compatibility with automated SMT assembly.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable voltage regulation across varying load currents. Its planar die construction ensures consistent zener characteristics, while the SOT-323 package enables high-density PCB layouts with minimal thermal mass.
It exhibits a nominal zener voltage of 2.7 V with ±0.2 V tolerance at 5 mA, 100 Ω impedance at test current, and 600 Ω impedance at knee current (1 mA), supporting reliable clamping in low-current bias networks and feedback paths.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 2.7 V nominal, 2.5–2.9 V range at IZT = 5 mA - defines regulated output voltage in shunt regulator or reference circuits |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 200 mW - limits maximum continuous power handling on FR4 board with recommended pad layout |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 100 Ω at 5 mA - determines regulation stiffness under small-signal load variations |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 20 µA at VR = 1.0 V - sets minimum bias current requirement for reliable turn-on |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 625 K/W - indicates junction-to-ambient temperature rise per watt dissipated on standard FR4 |
| Temp Coefficient (αVZ) | −3.5 to 0 mV/°C - quantifies voltage drift over −65°C to +125°C operating range |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT-323 - ultra-small surface-mount plastic case (2.0 × 1.25 × 0.9 mm), lead-free matte tin plating, moisture sensitivity level 1, UL 94V-0 rated.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Pin 1) | Forward conduction terminal | Connected to lower potential side in reverse-biased Zener configuration; polarity marked on top surface |
| Cathode (Pin 2) | Zener breakdown terminal | Connected to higher potential side; carries regulated voltage during reverse operation |
| Case / Heat Sink (Pin 3) | Non-connected internal leadframe stub | No electrical connection; serves mechanical anchoring only - not a functional terminal |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5223BS-7-F | Zener voltage 2.7 V, but 350 mW rating and SOT-23 package; 150 Ω ZZT at 20 mA | Higher power handling suits higher-current bias networks; larger footprint may limit layout density | Select when >200 mW dissipation or legacy SOT-23 footprint compatibility is required |
| 1SMA5912BT3G | 2.7 V zener, 1.5 W rating, DO-214AC package; 10 Ω ZZT at 41 mA | Designed for surge suppression, not precision reference; significantly lower impedance but larger size | Choose only for transient clamping where low dynamic impedance outweighs size and accuracy trade-offs |
Compared with MMBZ5223BS-7-F and 1SMA5912BT3G, BZX84C2V7W-7-F offers optimal balance of tight voltage tolerance (±0.2 V), ultra-compact SOT-323 footprint, and predictable 100 Ω impedance - making it preferred for space-constrained, low-power reference designs where thermal budget and board area are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage this Zener can clamp before breakdown?
The BZX84C2V7W-7-F begins controlled reverse breakdown at its nominal zener voltage of 2.7 V, with guaranteed operation between 2.5 V and 2.9 V at 5 mA test current. It does not specify a distinct "clamping threshold" separate from its zener voltage range - regulation occurs continuously within this band under defined current conditions.
Can this device be used in series for higher voltage references?
Yes, multiple BZX84C2V7W-7-F diodes can be connected in series to achieve higher reference voltages (e.g., two in series yield ~5.4 V), but total tolerance accumulates (±0.4 V), and thermal tracking between devices is uncontrolled - precision applications require matched monolithic references instead.
Is the SOT-323 package compatible with standard reflow profiles?
Yes - the SOT-323 package is rated for moisture sensitivity level 1 per J-STD-020D and supports standard lead-free reflow profiles (peak 260°C), provided the board layout follows Diodes' recommended pad dimensions (0.7 × 0.9 mm lands with 1.9 mm center-to-center spacing).
Does the −3.5 mV/°C temperature coefficient apply across the full operating range?
Yes - the temperature coefficient of −3.5 to 0 mV/°C is specified over the full operating junction temperature range of −65°C to +125°C, measured at IZT = 5 mA; actual drift remains linear within this band and is confirmed by typical characterization curves in DS30066 Rev. 15-2.
