Product details
Overview
BZX84C5V1T-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a 5.1 V, 150 mW surface-mount Zener diode in SOT-523 package, rated for 5 mA test current with 60 Ω dynamic impedance and ±2.7 to +1.2 mV/°C temperature coefficient. It provides precision voltage regulation in low-power biasing, reference, and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84C5V1T-7-F datasheet, BZX84C5V1T-7-F pinout, BZX84C5V1T-7-F application, or BZX84C5V1T-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±0.3 V), low leakage (<2 µA at 2 V), thermal resistance (833 °C/W), and RoHS-compliant green molding compound.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with a nominal 5.1 V regulation at 5 mA test current. Its planar die construction ensures stable voltage characteristics across -65 °C to +150 °C operating range and supports pulse operation per short-duration test conditions.
The device exhibits a non-linear voltage-temperature response, with minimum TC of -2.7 mV/°C and maximum of +1.2 mV/°C at 5 mA. Its 60 Ω zener impedance at 1 kHz enables predictable regulation under varying load currents up to 10 mA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 5.1 V nominal, 4.8–5.4 V min/max at 5 mA - defines regulation setpoint for reference or clamp circuits |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 150 mW at 25 °C - limits continuous current to ~29.4 mA at 5.1 V without derating |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 60 Ω at 5 mA, 1 kHz - determines output voltage deviation under load transients |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤2.0 µA at 2.0 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in high-impedance bias networks |
| Temp Coefficient (TC) | -2.7 to +1.2 mV/°C at 5 mA - quantifies drift magnitude in temperature-sensitive references |
| Package | SOT-523 - 1.6 mm × 0.8 mm footprint ideal for space-constrained PCB layouts |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 833 °C/W on FR-4 - requires thermal pad or layout mitigation above ~50 mW dissipation |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT-523 - ultra-small plastic surface-mount case with matte tin-plated Alloy 42 leadframe, UL 94V-0 rated, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / cathode reference ground | Connected to circuit ground or lower-potential node when used as shunt regulator |
| Cathode | Reverse-biased Zener terminal / voltage reference output | Provides regulated 5.1 V relative to anode; polarity marked by band on package top view |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-small SOT-523 footprint | 1.6 mm × 0.8 mm area saves >60% board space vs. SOT-23 in portable designs |
| Planar die construction | Enables tight VZ tolerance (±6%) and repeatable TC performance across production lots |
| Lead-free/RoHS-compliant | Matte tin finish over Alloy 42 leadframe meets JEDEC J-STD-020D solderability requirements |
| "Green" molding compound | Halogen-free formulation (post-UO date code) eliminates Sb2O3 flame retardants for eco-compliance |
Applications
| Low-Power Voltage Reference | Overvoltage Clamp |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Providing stable 5.1 V bias for op-amp input stages or ADC reference dividers in battery-powered sensors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Shunt voltage reference establishing precise DC offset independent of supply variation. Use Value: Maintains <±10 mV regulation error across 1–10 mA load range due to 60 Ω ZZT and low TC drift. | Use Scenario: Protecting microcontroller I/O pins from ESD-induced voltage spikes exceeding 5.5 V. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Transient voltage suppressor clamping fast-rising surges to safe levels before IC damage occurs. Use Value: Responds within nanoseconds to reverse transients while limiting peak clamped voltage to ≤5.4 V at 1 A surge. |
| Current Source Biasing | Power Supply Feedback |
Use Scenario: Setting constant collector current in discrete transistor amplifiers via emitter resistor bias network. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Stable voltage node enabling predictable IC calculation using Ohm's Law across emitter resistor. Use Value: Delivers <0.5% current variation over -40 °C to +85 °C ambient due to compensated TC design. | Use Scenario: Sampling output voltage in adjustable DC-DC converter feedback loop to maintain 5.0 V rail accuracy. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision voltage divider tap point referenced to regulated 5.1 V instead of raw supply. Use Value: Reduces feedback error contribution to <±0.3% of setpoint, improving overall output regulation to ±1%. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5221BS-7-F | Same 5.1 V nominal, but 200 mW PD, 30 Ω ZZT, SOT-323 package | Higher power handling and lower impedance suit higher-current references | Select when >15 mA regulation current or tighter impedance control is required |
| 1SMA5913BT3G | 5.1 V nominal, 1.5 W PD, DO-214AC package, 10 Ω ZZT | Designed for surge-rated clamping, not precision low-power reference | Prefer for transient suppression where energy absorption >100 mJ is needed |
Compared with MMBZ5221BS-7-F and 1SMA5913BT3G, BZX84C5V1T-7-F offers optimal trade-off of miniature size, low-cost manufacturability, and sufficient regulation stability for sub-10 mA biasing-making it preferred for space-limited consumer electronics rather than high-power or high-precision metrology.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current this Zener can handle at 5.1 V?
The BZX84C5V1T-7-F is rated for 150 mW total power dissipation. At its nominal 5.1 V zener voltage, this corresponds to a maximum continuous reverse current of approximately 29.4 mA (150 mW ÷ 5.1 V). Derating is required above 25 °C ambient per the 833 °C/W thermal resistance curve.
Does this part meet JEDEC moisture sensitivity level requirements?
Yes, the BZX84C5V1T-7-F is rated Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 per J-STD-020D, meaning it may be stored indefinitely at ≤30 °C/60% RH without baking prior to reflow. This eliminates pre-assembly moisture mitigation steps in standard SMT processes.
How does the temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy over industrial temperature range?
With a TC ranging from -2.7 to +1.2 mV/°C, the worst-case voltage drift over -40 °C to +125 °C (165 °C span) is ±458 µV/°C × 165 °C ≈ ±75.6 mV - resulting in a total VZ range of ~5.024 V to 5.176 V, or ±1.5% full-scale error at extremes.
Can this Zener be used in place of a 5 V logic-level shifter?
No - the BZX84C5V1T-7-F is not designed for bidirectional signal translation. Its asymmetric forward (0.9 V @ 10 mA) and reverse (5.1 V) conduction characteristics make it unsuitable for level-shifting logic signals; dedicated MOSFET or IC-based level shifters are required for that function.
