Product details
Overview
BZX84C4V3S-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a dual 200mW surface-mount Zener diode in SOT-363 package, rated for nominal zener voltage 4.3V (±0.3V tolerance), 5mA test current, 90Ω max zener impedance at 5mA, and -3.5 to 0 mV/°C temperature coefficient. It provides precision voltage regulation in compact power management circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84C4V3S-7 datasheet, BZX84C4V3S-7 pinout, BZX84C4V3S-7 application, or BZX84C4V3S-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage stability across temperature, low dynamic impedance for noise-sensitive references, SOT-363 footprint compatibility, and RoHS-compliant lead-free plating for high-reliability PCB assembly.
Technical Context
This dual-element Zener diode integrates two independent 4.3V zener junctions in a single SOT-363 package, enabling space-constrained dual-reference or redundancy designs. Each element operates with 5mA test current and exhibits 90Ω maximum zener impedance at 1kHz, supporting stable regulation under moderate load transients.
The device features planar die construction, UL 94V-0 molded plastic case, and a thermal resistance of 625°C/W (junction-to-ambient on FR4 board). Its operating temperature range spans -65°C to +150°C, with a zener voltage temperature coefficient between -3.5 and 0 mV/°C at 5mA.

FAQ
What is the maximum power dissipation for BZX84C4V3S-7 under standard PCB conditions?
The BZX84C4V3S-7 has a rated power dissipation of 200 mW when mounted on an FR4 PCB using Diodes Incorporated's recommended pad layout (AP02001.pdf). Derating begins above 25°C ambient, reaching zero dissipation at 150°C due to its 625°C/W thermal resistance.
How does the dual-element structure affect circuit layout compared to single Zener diodes?
The dual-element SOT-363 footprint integrates two independent 4.3V Zeners with shared cathode/anode pin assignments (Pins 2/3 and 5/4), enabling matched reference generation without inter-device thermal or parametric drift. Layout requires no extra decoupling or matching traces beyond standard SOT-363 pad geometry.
Is BZX84C4V3S-7 compatible with lead-free reflow profiles?
Yes-BZX84C4V3S-7 uses matte tin plating over Alloy 42 leadframe and meets J-STD-020D Level 1 moisture sensitivity. It supports standard Pb-free reflow profiles up to 260°C peak temperature without delamination or solder joint integrity issues.
What is the significance of the "-7" suffix in the part number?
The "-7" suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging: 3000 units per reel in SOT-363 carrier tape, compliant with EIA-481 standards. This format enables automated pick-and-place assembly and is distinct from bulk or cut-tape variants (e.g., "-7-F" adds RoHS compliance marking).
