Product details
Overview
BZX84C33W-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 33 V, 200 mW surface-mount Zener diode in SOT-323 package, rated for 2 mA test current with 31–35 V zener voltage range, 80 Ω maximum zener impedance at 2 mA, and 0.1 µA maximum reverse leakage at 23.1 V, used for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in low-power analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84C33W-7 datasheet, BZX84C33W-7 pinout, BZX84C33W-7 application, or BZX84C33W-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include nominal zener voltage tolerance (±3.0%), thermal resistance (625 K/W), operating temperature range (−65 °C to +125 °C), and RoHS-compliant green molding compound construction.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with a specified zener voltage of 33.0 V (min 31.0 V, max 35.0 V) at IZT = 2.0 mA. Its temperature coefficient is +23.1 to +33.4 mV/°C, indicating positive drift above 6 V, requiring thermal compensation in high-stability references.
It delivers stable regulation under low-current conditions (IZK = 0.5 mA, VZ ≈ 23.1 V) and maintains low dynamic impedance (ZZT ≤ 80 Ω) at 2 mA, supporting consistent clamping performance across ambient temperatures up to +125 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 33.0 V nominal, 31.0–35.0 V range at IZT = 2 mA - defines regulation setpoint with ±3.0% tolerance |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 200 mW at TA = 25 °C - limits continuous dissipation without heatsinking on FR4 PCB |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | ≤80 Ω at IZT = 2 mA, f = 1 kHz - ensures minimal output voltage variation under load transients |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤0.1 µA at VR = 23.1 V - guarantees low standby current in bias/reference networks |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 625 K/W - determines junction temperature rise per mW on standard FR4 layout |
| Operating Temperature | −65 °C to +125 °C - supports industrial and automotive under-hood environments |
| Package | SOT-323 - 0.006 g ultra-small footprint compatible with fine-pitch automated assembly |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT-323 - three-terminal plastic surface-mount case with lead-free matte tin plating, UL 94V-0 flammability rating, and moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

| Cathode | Zener breakdown terminal / voltage reference node | Connected to higher-potential side; carries regulated output voltage when reverse-biased |
| Case / Not Connected | Non-electrical mechanical termination | No internal connection; serves only as structural anchor and thermal path to PCB pad |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Planar die construction | Enables tight VZ tolerance control and repeatable breakdown characteristics across production lots |
| Green molding compound | Halogen-free, Sb2O3-free encapsulation compliant with environmental directives post-2006 date codes |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5265BW | 33 V nominal, 200 mW, SOT-23 package, 100 Ω ZZT, wider VZ tolerance (±5%) | Larger footprint; higher dynamic impedance reduces regulation stability under varying loads | Preferred where SOT-23 handling or legacy board compatibility is required |
| BZX84-C33 | Same electrical specs but non-RoHS SOT-23 variant; lacks green compound and lead-free plating | Not suitable for new designs targeting RoHS or halogen-free compliance | Select only for repair or legacy replacement where environmental compliance is waived |
Compared with BZX84C33W-7, MMBZ5265BW offers similar voltage but looser tolerance and higher impedance, while BZX84-C33 matches performance but fails modern environmental requirements-making the -7 variant optimal for new industrial and portable designs needing compact, compliant regulation.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage this Zener can safely clamp without damage?
The BZX84C33W-7 has a maximum peak pulse power rating not specified in the DS30066 datasheet, but its absolute maximum reverse voltage is limited by its 200 mW continuous power dissipation. At 33 V, sustained current must remain below ~6.06 mA to avoid thermal runaway; transient clamping requires external series resistance to limit IZ within safe operating area.
Does this part have a specified capacitance value for high-frequency filtering use?
No capacitance specification is provided for BZX84C33W-7 in the DS30066 datasheet. Figure 4 shows typical total capacitance vs. nominal zener voltage, estimating ~10–15 pF for 33 V devices at VR = 1 V, but this is not guaranteed or tested - it should not be relied upon for RF or timing-critical filtering.
Can this Zener be used in series to achieve higher reference voltages?
Yes, multiple BZX84C33W-7 diodes may be connected in series to generate higher reference voltages (e.g., two in series ≈ 66 V), but voltage distribution will vary due to unit-to-unit VZ tolerance (±3%) and differing temperature coefficients - active balancing or trimming is recommended for precision applications.
Is the SOT-323 package compatible with standard reflow profiles for lead-free assembly?
Yes, the SOT-323 package with matte tin plating is qualified for lead-free reflow per J-STD-020D Level 1 moisture sensitivity, supporting peak temperatures up to 260 °C. Recommended pad layout and thermal relief patterns are documented in Diodes' AP02001 application note.
