Product details
Overview
BZX84C36TQ-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a 36V, 150mW surface-mount Zener diode in SOT523 package, rated for 2mA test current with 90Ω dynamic impedance at 1kHz and 10pF junction capacitance at 1MHz/0V; used for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in automotive power rails and sensor interface circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84C36TQ-7-F datasheet, BZX84C36TQ-7-F pinout, BZX84C36TQ-7-F application, or BZX84C36TQ-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±5.6%), temperature coefficient (30.4 mV/°C), AEC-Q101 qualification, and thermal resistance (833°C/W) under FR-4 mounting conditions.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable reference voltage across varying load and temperature conditions. It features planar die construction for consistent parametric performance and low leakage (0.1μA at 25.2V), with specified thermal derating above +25°C ambient per Figure 1.
The device delivers regulated 36V output within ±5.6% tolerance (34.0–38.0V) at 2mA test current, with 325Ω maximum knee impedance at 0.5mA and 30.4 mV/°C positive temperature coefficient-enabling predictable drift compensation in analog sensing front-ends.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ36VALT1G | Same 36V rating but 200mW power, SOT-23 package, higher 120Ω Zzt | Larger footprint; better suited for higher-power industrial regulators | Select when >150mW dissipation margin required and board space permits SOT-23 |
| BZX84-C36-7-F | Identical electrical specs but non-automotive grade; lacks AEC-Q101 qualification and PPAP support | Not approved for automotive safety-critical systems or Tier-1 BOMs | Acceptable for cost-sensitive consumer designs where automotive certification is unnecessary |
Compared with MMBZ36VALT1G and BZX84-C36-7-F, the BZX84C36TQ-7-F uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, SOT523 miniaturization, and 150mW dissipation-making it optimal for space-constrained automotive ECUs requiring traceable, PPAP-capable components.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage before breakdown for BZX84C36TQ-7-F?
The BZX84C36TQ-7-F has a nominal Zener voltage of 36.0V with a guaranteed range of 34.0V to 38.0V at 2mA test current. Breakdown occurs within this band; operation below 34.0V maintains negligible reverse current (<0.1μA), while voltages exceeding 38.0V risk uncontrolled conduction and thermal runaway if power limits are exceeded.
Is BZX84C36TQ-7-F compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes, BZX84C36TQ-7-F uses matte tin annealed terminals over Alloy 42 leadframe and complies with JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity Level 1. It supports standard Pb-free reflow profiles up to 260°C peak temperature, with no pre-bake required due to its low moisture absorption characteristics.
How does the temperature coefficient affect long-term voltage stability?
With a +30.4 mV/°C temperature coefficient, the Zener voltage increases by approximately 30.4mV per degree Celsius rise above +25°C. At +125°C ambient, the voltage shifts +3.04V (100°C × 30.4mV/°C), resulting in ~39.0V output-within the 34.0–38.0V specification band only if derated power prevents self-heating-induced drift beyond datasheet limits.
Can BZX84C36TQ-7-F replace BZX84C33TQ-7-F in existing designs?
No direct substitution is recommended. BZX84C33TQ-7-F has 33V nominal Zener voltage (31.0–35.0V range) and different temperature coefficient (+25.2 mV/°C). Swapping introduces a 3V shift and altered thermal drift behavior, potentially violating system-level overvoltage thresholds and reference accuracy requirements in safety-critical automotive applications.
