Product details
Overview
BZX84C39-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a 39 V, 2 mA nominal Zener voltage regulator diode in SOT23 package, rated for 350 mW power dissipation at ambient temperature, with 130 Ω maximum Zener impedance at 2 mA test current and ±5% voltage tolerance (37.0–41.0 V), used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in low-power analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84C39-7-F datasheet, BZX84C39-7-F pinout, BZX84C39-7-F application, or BZX84C39-7-F equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal derating behavior, SOT23 terminal mapping, and AEC-Q101-qualified alternatives for automotive and industrial voltage regulation design.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with a nominal 39 V regulation voltage at 2 mA test current, exhibiting a negative temperature coefficient of −3.5 mV/°C and total capacitance under 10 pF at 1 V reverse bias. Its planar die construction ensures stable voltage regulation across temperature and time.
The device is characterized for operation from −65 °C to +150 °C, with thermal resistance junction-to-ambient of 357 °C/W when terminals are held at ambient temperature, and 417 °C/W on FR-4 PCB with recommended pad layout - enabling accurate power derating in real-world layouts.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 39 V nominal, 37.0–41.0 V range at 2 mA - defines precise clamping threshold for voltage-sensitive nodes |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 350 mW at ambient temperature - sets maximum continuous power handling without forced cooling |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 130 Ω max at 2 mA - determines regulation stiffness and output voltage variation under load changes |
| Reverse Current (IR) | 0.1 µA max at 33.4 V - ensures minimal leakage in high-impedance bias networks |
| Temperature Coefficient | −3.5 mV/°C - quantifies voltage drift per degree, critical for temperature-stable references |

Applications
| Power Supply Monitoring | ADC Reference Stabilization |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Monitoring 48 V DC bus in telecom power systems using resistor-divider + comparator. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener provides stable 39 V reference for comparator threshold, rejecting supply ripple. Use Value: 130 Ω ZZT limits threshold shift to <15 mV under 100 µA divider current variation. |
Use Scenario: Biasing precision 12-bit SAR ADC input range in sensor signal conditioning. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Acts as low-noise, low-capacitance (≤10 pF) voltage clamp on reference rail. Use Value: Sub-0.1 µA IR prevents loading of high-impedance op-amp buffer driving ADC REF pin. |
| Overvoltage Protection | Microcontroller Reset Circuit |
|
Use Scenario: Protecting 3.3 V I/O pins against ESD-induced transients on industrial fieldbus lines. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-clamping Zener shunts surge energy before it reaches downstream logic. Use Value: 350 mW rating sustains 100 ns 1 kV/100 Ω surge pulse without parametric shift or failure. |
Use Scenario: Generating clean reset signal for ARM Cortex-M0 MCU during brown-out conditions. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides temperature-compensated 39 V threshold for external reset supervisor IC. Use Value: −3.5 mV/°C TC aligns with supervisor's internal reference drift, reducing system-level reset window error. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5242B-7-F | 39 V nominal, 200 mW PD, 150 Ω ZZT, same SOT23 package | Limited to lower-power bias networks due to 200 mW rating; not AEC-Q101 qualified | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive qualification and thermal margin needs |
| BZX84-C39,115 | 39 V nominal, 350 mW PD, 130 Ω ZZT, SOT23, but non-AEC-Q101, halogen-containing molding compound | Not suitable for automotive or green-compliance programs requiring halogen-free materials | Choose only for legacy industrial designs where RoHS3 and AEC-Q101 are not mandated |
Compared with MMBZ5242B-7-F and BZX84-C39,115, the BZX84C39-7-F delivers superior thermal headroom (350 mW vs. 200 mW), identical Zener impedance, and full AEC-Q101/halogen-free compliance - making it the preferred choice for next-generation automotive and eco-regulated designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage the BZX84C39-7-F can withstand before breakdown?
The BZX84C39-7-F has a nominal Zener voltage of 39 V at 2 mA test current, with a guaranteed breakdown range of 37.0 V to 41.0 V. It begins regulating in reverse breakdown within this band and is not rated for sustained operation above 41.0 V without exceeding its power or thermal limits.
Is the BZX84C39-7-F suitable for use in automotive applications?
Yes - the BZX84C39-7-F is explicitly qualified to AEC-Q101 standards and manufactured with green (halogen- and antimony-free) molding compound for Date Codes OW (2009 week 42) and newer, making it approved for under-hood and body electronics in passenger vehicles and commercial fleets.
How does the temperature coefficient affect circuit performance?
With a temperature coefficient of −3.5 mV/°C, the Zener voltage decreases by approximately 3.5 mV per degree Celsius rise. In a 39 V reference, this yields ~0.009% per °C drift - acceptable for most non-precision applications but requires compensation in high-accuracy voltage monitors or references.
What is the significance of the "-7-F" suffix in the part number?
The "-7-F" denotes standard-grade (non-automotive) packaging in 3,000-unit tape-and-reel format, with "F" indicating Diodes Incorporated's RoHS-compliant, lead-free plating. The "-7" identifies the reel size and orientation per Diodes' packaging standard, distinct from automotive "Q-7-F" variants.
