Product details
Overview
BZX84C39W-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 39 V, 200 mW surface-mount Zener diode in SOT-323 package, specified at 2.0 mA test current with ±5.1% voltage tolerance (37.0–41.0 V), 130 Ω dynamic impedance at 1 kHz, and 0.1 µA reverse leakage at 27.3 V. It provides precision voltage regulation in low-power biasing and reference circuits for industrial sensor interfaces and portable power management.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84C39W-7 datasheet, BZX84C39W-7 pinout, BZX84C39W-7 application, or BZX84C39W-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include nominal Zener voltage accuracy, thermal resistance (625 K/W), reverse leakage at rated VR, temperature coefficient (+27.3 to +41.2 mV/°C), and SOT-323 mounting compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with a nominal Zener voltage of 39.0 V at IZT = 2.0 mA. Its 130 Ω Zener impedance at 1 kHz and 0.1 µA reverse current at 27.3 V define its regulation stability under light-load conditions.
The device features a planar die construction, "Green" halogen-free molding compound (UL 94V-0), and lead-free matte tin plating. Thermal derating begins above 25°C ambient, with full 200 mW dissipation only at TA ≤ 25°C per the published power derating curve.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 39.0 V nominal, 37.0–41.0 V range at IZT = 2.0 mA - sets stable reference level for analog feedback loops |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 200 mW at TA = 25°C - limits continuous bias current to ~5.1 mA at 39 V |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 130 Ω at f = 1 kHz - determines AC ripple rejection in shunt regulator applications |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.1 µA at VR = 27.3 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in standby-mode references |
| Temp. Coefficient (αVZ) | +27.3 to +41.2 mV/°C - indicates positive drift; requires compensation in precision temp-stable references |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 625 K/W on FR4 board - dictates junction temperature rise of 125°C at full 200 mW dissipation |
| Package | SOT-323 - 2.2 mm × 1.35 mm footprint supports high-density layout; single anode-cathode polarity |
Pinout & Package

Use Value: Achieves <±3% LED brightness consistency across temperature due to predictable +33.4 mV/°C tempco offset correction. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5267BS-7-F | 39 V nominal, 350 mW rating, SOT-323, 150 Ω ZZT, 0.1 µA IR at 27.3 V | Higher power enables >10 mA regulation; larger ZZT reduces ripple rejection | Select when higher current capability is required and board thermal design supports 350 mW |
| BZX84-C39LT1G | 39 V nominal, 300 mW rating, SOT-23, 120 Ω ZZT, 0.1 µA IR at 27.3 V | Larger SOT-23 footprint; lower ZZT improves regulation but increases board area | Select when tighter Zener impedance is critical and SOT-23 mounting is acceptable |
Compared with BZX84C39W-7, MMBZ5267BS-7-F offers +150 mW headroom at the cost of +20 Ω impedance, while BZX84-C39LT1G trades SOT-323 miniaturization for 10 Ω lower ZZT in a less space-efficient package - choice depends on thermal budget and layout density constraints.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage (VR) at which BZX84C39W-7 guarantees ≤0.1 µA leakage?
The datasheet specifies 0.1 µA maximum reverse current at VR = 27.3 V. This is not a breakdown voltage but a guaranteed leakage limit well below nominal Zener voltage - critical for low-power sleep-mode operation where sub-microamp drain is mandatory.
Does BZX84C39W-7 have a center pad connected internally?
No. The SOT-323 center pad is a non-functional mechanical support feature with no internal electrical connection. It must not be used as a thermal or electrical node in layout; only the anode and cathode pins carry current.
How does the +27.3 to +41.2 mV/°C temperature coefficient affect circuit accuracy?
This positive tempco means VZ increases ~34 mV per °C rise. Over a 100°C range, that's ~3.4 V drift - requiring either compensation (e.g., opposing NTC network) or system-level calibration if absolute accuracy better than ±5% is needed.
Can BZX84C39W-7 be used in place of a 36 V Zener for overvoltage clamping?
No - its 39 V nominal voltage and 41.0 V maximum VZ exceed typical 36 V clamp thresholds. Using it risks delayed clamping during transients, potentially damaging downstream components rated for ≤36 V absolute maximum.
