Product details
Overview
BZX84C3V3W-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a 3.3 V, 200 mW surface-mount Zener diode in SOT-323 package, with nominal zener voltage 3.3 V (min 3.1 V, max 3.5 V at IZT = 5 mA), zener impedance ≤95 Ω at 5 mA, and reverse current ≤5.0 µA at 1.0 V, used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in low-power analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84C3V3W-7-F datasheet, BZX84C3V3W-7-F pinout, BZX84C3V3W-7-F application, or BZX84C3V3W-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±6.1%), thermal resistance (625 K/W), low leakage (<5 µA @ 1 V), ultra-small SOT-323 footprint, and RoHS-compliant green molding compound.
Technical Context
This device operates as a silicon planar Zener diode optimized for stable reverse-biased breakdown regulation at 3.3 V. It uses alloy-42 leadframe with matte tin plating and meets J-STD-020D Level 1 moisture sensitivity.
Its electrical behavior is defined by test conditions: IZT = 5 mA for VZ, f = 1 kHz for ZZT, and TA = 25 °C unless otherwise specified. Power derating begins linearly above 25 °C per the 625 K/W RθJA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 3.3 V nominal, 3.1–3.5 V range at 5 mA - ensures ±6.1% regulation tolerance in 3.3 V rail clamping |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 200 mW at TA = 25 °C - limits continuous dissipation to avoid thermal runaway on FR4 PCBs |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | ≤95 Ω at 5 mA - maintains tight voltage stability under small-signal load variations |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤5.0 µA at VR = 1.0 V - minimizes quiescent power loss in battery-powered voltage monitors |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 625 K/W - defines temperature rise per watt on standard FR4 layout; requires thermal pad awareness |
| Operating Temperature | −65 °C to +125 °C - supports industrial and automotive under-hood sensor interface designs |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT-323 - ultra-small plastic surface-mount case (2.2 mm × 1.35 mm × 0.9 mm), UL 94V-0 rated, lead-free, green molding compound.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / cathode reference ground path | Connected to system ground when used in shunt regulation; polarity must match schematic symbol |
| Cathode | Zener breakdown terminal / regulated output node | Connected to voltage rail being clamped; carries full zener current during overvoltage events |
| Case | Non-electrical mechanical body | No internal connection; serves only as thermal and mechanical interface - not a third electrical terminal |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Planar die construction | Enables precise VZ control and repeatable breakdown characteristics across production lots |
| SOT-323 ultra-small footprint | Reduces PCB area by >50% vs. SOT-23; suitable for space-constrained portable electronics |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMSZ3V3T1G | Same 3.3 V nominal, but SOD-123 package (larger footprint); 500 mW PD; ZZT = 90 Ω | Higher power handling suits higher-current clamping; less space-efficient than SOT-323 | Select when thermal margin >200 mW is required and board area permits larger package |
| BZX384-C3V3,115 | Same 3.3 V rating, SOD-323 package; 300 mW PD; ZZT = 90 Ω; tighter VZ tolerance (±5%) | Higher power and tighter tolerance support precision references in instrumentation | Prefer for metrology-grade references where ±5% VZ and 300 mW headroom are critical |
Compared with MMSZ3V3T1G and BZX384-C3V3,115, BZX84C3V3W-7-F offers optimal balance of ultra-compact size, 200 mW capability, and industrial-grade temperature range in a cost-effective RoHS-compliant package.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage this diode can withstand before breakdown?
The BZX84C3V3W-7-F has a nominal zener voltage of 3.3 V, with guaranteed breakdown occurring between 3.1 V and 3.5 V at 5 mA test current. It is not rated for reverse blocking above its zener range - operation beyond 3.5 V induces controlled avalanche conduction, not destructive failure, provided power dissipation remains within 200 mW limits.
Does this Zener diode require a series current-limiting resistor in all applications?
Yes - a series resistor is mandatory to limit zener current and prevent thermal destruction. For example, with a 5 V supply and 3.3 V regulation target, a minimum 340 Ω resistor limits current to 5 mA at full regulation. The resistor value must be recalculated based on worst-case supply variation and desired operating current.
Is the SOT-323 package compatible with standard reflow profiles for lead-free assembly?
Yes - the SOT-323 package is qualified for lead-free reflow per J-STD-020D Level 1 moisture sensitivity. Its matte tin finish and thermal mass support peak temperatures up to 260 °C. Recommended profile includes ramp rate ≤3 °C/s, preheat 150–200 °C for 60–120 s, and time above liquidus (217 °C) of 60–90 s.
How does temperature affect the zener voltage stability of this device?
The temperature coefficient is specified as −3.5 to 0 mV/°C at 5 mA, meaning VZ decreases slightly with rising temperature. Over −40 °C to +125 °C, total drift is bounded by ±25 mV relative to 25 °C value - sufficient for non-critical references but not for high-precision metrology without compensation.
