Product details
Overview
BZX84C5V1_S00Z from ON Semiconductor (formerly Fairchild) is a 5.1 V ±5% surface-mount Zener diode in SOT-23 package, rated for 250 mW power dissipation at 25°C ambient, with 60 Ω dynamic impedance at 5 mA test current and 2 µA maximum reverse leakage at 2.0 V. It provides precision voltage regulation in low-power biasing and reference circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84C5V1_S00Z datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance, dynamic impedance at specified test current, thermal resistance (RJA = 465 °C/W), reverse leakage at VR = 2.0 V, and SOT-23 footprint compatibility with automated assembly.
Technical Context
The BZX84C5V1_S00Z operates as a silicon planar epitaxial Zener diode optimized for stable voltage reference and overvoltage protection in space-constrained designs. Its 5.1 V nominal breakdown voltage is specified with ±5% tolerance and exhibits a temperature coefficient of –2.7 mV/°C at 5 mA, indicating negative drift with rising temperature.
It is characterized under DC conditions with IZ = 1.0 mA, 5.0 mA, and 20 mA test points, delivering VZ = 4.2–5.3 V at 1 mA, 4.8–5.4 V at 5 mA, and 5.0–5.9 V at 20 mA - confirming tight regulation across operating current range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 4.8–5.4 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines stable regulation window for reference design |
| Tolerance | ±5% - ensures predictable voltage accuracy without post-production trimming |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 60 Ω max at 5 mA - limits output voltage variation under load current changes |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 2 µA max at VR = 2.0 V - minimizes standby power loss in high-impedance bias networks |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 250 mW at TA = 25°C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling on FR-4 PCB |
| Junction-to-Ambient RJA | 465 °C/W - determines thermal rise per watt; requires derating above 25°C ambient |
| Capacitance (CJ) | 225 pF at VR = 0 V, f = 1 MHz - impacts high-frequency noise filtering and transient response |

FAQ
What is the nominal Zener voltage and tolerance of BZX84C5V1_S00Z?
The BZX84C5V1_S00Z has a nominal Zener voltage of 5.1 V with a tolerance of ±5%, meaning its actual breakdown voltage falls between 4.8 V and 5.4 V when tested at 5 mA. This specification is confirmed in the Fairchild/ON Semiconductor datasheet Rev. 1.10 and applies directly to the BZX84C5V1_S00Z device under standard 25°C ambient conditions.
What is the maximum power dissipation rating for BZX84C5V1_S00Z?
The BZX84C5V1_S00Z is rated for 250 mW power dissipation at TA = 25°C when mounted on a standard FR-4 PCB (76.2 mm × 114.3 mm). Derating is required above 25°C ambient, following the 465 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance. This value is explicitly listed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of the official BZX84C3V3–BZX84C33 datasheet.
Does BZX84C5V1_S00Z have a specified temperature coefficient?
Yes, the BZX84C5V1_S00Z has a temperature coefficient of –2.7 mV/°C at IZ = 5 mA, indicating its Zener voltage decreases linearly with increasing temperature. This value is documented in the Electrical Characteristics table under "DVZ / Dt at 5.0 mA" and is critical for precision reference designs where thermal drift must be modeled or compensated.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for BZX84C5V1_S00Z?
The BZX84C5V1_S00Z specifies a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 2 µA at VR = 2.0 V and TA = 25°C. This parameter is essential for low-power applications such as battery-operated sensor biasing, where excessive leakage could drain standby current. The value is confirmed in the datasheet's second Electrical Characteristics table.
Is BZX84C5V1_S00Z compatible with standard SOT-23 pick-and-place equipment?
Yes, the BZX84C5V1_S00Z uses the industry-standard SOT-23 (TO-236AB) package with 2.9 mm × 1.3 mm body dimensions and 0.95 mm pin pitch, fully compatible with automated surface-mount assembly processes. Its pinout - Anode (Pin 1), Cathode (Pin 2), and non-connected Pin 3 - aligns with JEDEC MO-203-AB mechanical specifications referenced in the ON Semiconductor packaging documentation.
