Product details
Overview
BZX84C3V3-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a 3.3 V, 5 mA nominal Zener diode in SOT23 package, rated for 350 mW power dissipation at ambient temperature, with 95 Ω maximum Zener impedance at test current and ±0.5 V voltage tolerance, used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in low-power analog sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84C3V3-7-F datasheet, BZX84C3V3-7-F pinout, BZX84C3V3-7-F application, or BZX84C3V3-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy at 5 mA, thermal resistance (357 °C/W), reverse leakage (<5.0 µA at 1.0 V), temperature coefficient (–3.5 mV/°C), and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable 3.3 V regulation across load and supply variations. Its planar die construction ensures consistent voltage tolerance and low dynamic impedance (95 Ω @ 1 kHz), while the SOT23 package enables high-density PCB layouts and compatibility with automated reflow assembly.
It exhibits a negative temperature coefficient of –3.5 mV/°C, enabling predictable drift compensation in temperature-sensitive references. With 350 mW absolute maximum power rating under ambient cooling conditions and 0.008 g mass, it supports compact, thermally constrained designs without forced airflow.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 3.3 V nominal, 3.1–3.5 V range at 5 mA - defines stable reference point for biasing or clamping circuits |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 350 mW at TA = 25°C - sets maximum continuous power handling without heatsinking |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 95 Ω max @ 1 kHz, 5 mA - determines regulation stiffness under dynamic load transients |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤5.0 µA @ VR = 1.0 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in standby voltage monitoring |
| Temperature Coefficient | –3.5 mV/°C - quantifies voltage drift per degree, critical for temperature-compensated references |

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage this Zener can withstand before breakdown?
The BZX84C3V3-7-F has a nominal Zener voltage of 3.3 V with a guaranteed range of 3.1–3.5 V at 5 mA test current. It begins controlled reverse breakdown at approximately 3.1 V and maintains regulation up to its 350 mW power limit. The absolute maximum non-destructive reverse voltage is not specified beyond its Zener range, as operation outside regulation degrades stability and increases leakage.
Is this part suitable for use in a 5 V rail overvoltage clamp?
No - the BZX84C3V3-7-F is rated for 3.3 V regulation and will conduct heavily if subjected to sustained 5 V reverse bias, exceeding its 350 mW rating and risking thermal failure. For 5 V rail clamping, select BZX84C5V1-7-F (5.1 V) or higher-voltage variants with matching power and impedance specs.
Does the SOT23 package support hand-soldering with hot air?
Yes - the SOT23 package is compatible with hot-air rework at standard profiles (peak 260°C, 30–60 sec). Its matte tin finish ensures reliable wetting, and the 0.008 g mass allows rapid, uniform heating. Avoid prolonged dwell above 260°C to prevent delamination or marking code degradation.
How does the –3.5 mV/°C temperature coefficient affect circuit accuracy?
Over a 100°C range (–40°C to +60°C), the Zener voltage shifts by –0.35 V, resulting in ~10.6% deviation from nominal 3.3 V. For high-accuracy references, this drift must be compensated via circuit topology (e.g., complementary diode pairs) or selected alongside ICs with built-in temperature correction.
