Product details
Overview
BZX84-C39/DG/B2,21 from Nexperia is a 39 V ±5% Zener diode in SOT23 package with 300 mW power dissipation, 5 µA maximum reverse leakage at 30.4 V, and 90 Ω typical dynamic impedance at 5 mA, used for voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in low-power analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84-C39/DG/B2,21 datasheet, BZX84-C39/DG/B2,21 pinout, BZX84-C39/DG/B2,21 application, or BZX84-C39/DG/B2,21 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, power rating, dynamic impedance, reverse leakage, and SOT23 thermal performance in space-constrained biasing and reference designs.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable voltage across its terminals under varying current conditions. It is characterized at test currents of 5 mA (Zener voltage) and 1 mA (for leakage specification), with guaranteed voltage tolerance over temperature range −65 °C to +150 °C.
The device uses planar epitaxial technology for consistent breakdown characteristics and low noise. Its SOT23 package supports surface-mount reflow assembly and provides adequate thermal dissipation for ≤300 mW continuous operation in ambient temperatures up to +150 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 39 V ±5% at IZ = 5 mA - defines precise clamping level for reference or protection circuits |
| Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 300 mW - limits maximum continuous power handling in SOT23 footprint |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 90 Ω typical at IZ = 5 mA - determines voltage regulation sensitivity to current variation |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 5 µA max at VR = 30.4 V - ensures minimal parasitic current in standby or high-impedance nodes |
| Package | SOT23 - enables automated placement and compact PCB layout for portable and IoT devices |
| Operating Temperature | −65 °C to +150 °C - supports industrial and automotive under-hood environments |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-3 package with standard pin assignment: Pin 1 = Anode, Pin 2 = Cathode, Pin 3 = Not connected (NC). The cathode is marked by a band on the package body.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Anode | Connected to lower-potential node; reverse-biased during Zener operation |
| Pin 2 | Cathode | Connected to higher-potential node; voltage reference output point |
| Pin 3 | NC | No internal connection; electrically isolated for mechanical stability only |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Tight Zener voltage tolerance | ±5% at 39 V ensures predictable clamping without post-production trimming |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C39,215 | Same Zener voltage and tolerance, but packaged in SOT23 with different marking code and tape/reel configuration | Identical electrical performance; differs only in packaging logistics and reel orientation | Select when matching legacy board assembly programs requiring 215-style reel coding |
| MMSZ4702T1G | 39 V ±5%, 500 mW rating, higher power but larger SOD-123 package | Higher thermal margin in high-ambient environments; requires PCB layout change | Choose for designs needing >300 mW surge capability or extended thermal derating |
Compared with BZX84-C39/DG/B2,21, the BZX84-C39,215 offers identical regulation performance with alternate packaging logistics, while MMSZ4702T1G trades SOT23 compactness for higher power handling and thermal robustness in less space-constrained applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for BZX84-C39/DG/B2,21?
The maximum reverse leakage current is 5 µA at a reverse voltage of 30.4 V, measured per the official Nexperia datasheet. This value ensures minimal current draw in high-impedance reference paths and prevents unintended loading of sensitive analog nodes under sub-breakdown conditions.
Can BZX84-C39/DG/B2,21 be used in parallel for higher power handling?
No-parallel connection is not recommended due to mismatched Zener voltage tolerances and thermal runaway risk. Each diode's dynamic impedance and temperature coefficient cause unequal current sharing. For higher power, select a single device rated ≥300 mW, such as MMSZ4702T1G.
Is the SOT23 package lead-free and RoHS compliant?
Yes-BZX84-C39/DG/B2,21 is manufactured with lead-free terminations and fully complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and REACH SVHC regulations. The device meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level MSL3 and supports standard Pb-free reflow profiles.
How does temperature affect the Zener voltage of this diode?
The BZX84-C39/DG/B2,21 exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of approximately +0.07 %/°C above 5 V, meaning its Zener voltage increases linearly with junction temperature. At +125 °C, the shift is ~2.7 V relative to 25 °C, requiring thermal compensation in precision reference designs.
