Product details
Overview
BZX84C5V6S-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a dual 200 mW surface-mount Zener diode in SOT-363 package, with nominal zener voltage 5.6 V (min 5.2 V, max 6.0 V), zener test current 5.0 mA, dynamic impedance 40 Ω at IZT, and reverse leakage ≤1.0 µA at 2.0 V. It provides precision voltage regulation in compact power management circuits for portable electronics and sensor biasing.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84C5V6S-7 datasheet, BZX84C5V6S-7 pinout, BZX84C5V6S-7 application, or BZX84C5V6S-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance, low dynamic impedance at 5 mA, thermal resistance of 625 °C/W on FR4, and RoHS-compliant matte tin plating over Alloy 42 leadframe.
Technical Context
This dual-element Zener diode integrates two independent 5.6 V zener junctions in a single SOT-363 package, sharing no internal connection - each anode-cathode pair operates independently. Its planar die construction ensures stable breakdown characteristics across -65 °C to +150 °C operating range, with temperature coefficient of -2.0 to -2.5 mV/°C at 5 mA.
The device delivers regulated reference voltage under reverse-bias conditions with tightly controlled zener impedance (40 Ω typical at 5 mA) and low leakage (≤1.0 µA at 2.0 V), enabling reliable operation in low-power analog monitoring and voltage-clamping functions where space and thermal budget are constrained.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 5.6 V nominal, 5.2–6.0 V range at 5 mA - defines stable regulation point for reference or clamping |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 200 mW - limits continuous reverse-bias power handling on standard FR4 PCB |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 40 Ω at 5 mA - ensures minimal output voltage shift under load variation |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤1.0 µA at 2.0 V - guarantees low quiescent current in standby bias networks |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 625 °C/W - requires careful pad layout per AP02001 to avoid derating above 25 °C ambient |
| Temperature Coefficient | -2.0 to -2.5 mV/°C at 5 mA - enables predictable drift compensation in temperature-sensitive references |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT-363 (SC-70-6), ultra-small surface-mount plastic case with UL 94V-0 rating, moisture sensitivity level 1, and matte tin-plated Alloy 42 leads.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| NC (Pin 1) | No Connection | Unbonded terminal - must remain unconnected per mechanical drawing |
| C1 (Pin 2) | Cathode of Diode 1 | Reverse-bias terminal for first zener element; connects to regulated node |
| A1 (Pin 3) | Anode of Diode 1 | Reference ground or current-sink path for first zener |
| A2 (Pin 4) | Anode of Diode 2 | Independent anode for second zener; electrically isolated from A1 |
| C2 (Pin 5) | Cathode of Diode 2 | Second regulated output node; no internal connection to C1 |
| NC (Pin 6) | No Connection | Unbonded terminal - no PCB trace or solder required |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent Zener elements | Two fully isolated 5.6 V zener junctions in one SOT-363 footprint - saves board area vs. discrete pair |
| Low dynamic impedance | 40 Ω at 5 mA - maintains tight voltage regulation under varying load currents |
| Lead-free & RoHS compliant | Matte tin finish over Alloy 42 leadframe - meets global environmental compliance without SnPb reflow concerns |
| Stable temperature coefficient | -2.0 to -2.5 mV/°C - supports predictable drift behavior in industrial temperature ranges |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5232BS-7-F | Single 5.6 V Zener in SOT-23; 225 mW PD; ZZT = 30 Ω at 20 mA | Requires two devices for dual functionality; higher test current shifts regulation point | Prefer when only one regulated node needed and higher power margin is required |
| BZX84C5V6LT1G | Single 5.6 V Zener in SOT-23; 350 mW PD; ZZT = 25 Ω at 5 mA; different marking and packaging | No dual-element capability; larger thermal mass but no space-saving benefit | Select when dual-channel integration is unnecessary and lower impedance is critical |
Compared with MMBZ5232BS-7-F and BZX84C5V6LT1G, the BZX84C5V6S-7 uniquely delivers two independent 5.6 V zeners in one SOT-363, reducing component count and PCB area while maintaining tight 5.2–6.0 V tolerance and low 40 Ω impedance at standard 5 mA test current.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage before breakdown for BZX84C5V6S-7?
The BZX84C5V6S-7 exhibits sharp reverse breakdown at its nominal zener voltage of 5.6 V, with guaranteed regulation between 5.2 V and 6.0 V at 5 mA test current. Below 5.2 V, reverse leakage remains ≤1.0 µA at 2.0 V; no defined "maximum non-breakdown" voltage is specified - operation is intended within the zener region.
Can BZX84C5V6S-7 be used in forward-bias mode like a standard diode?
Yes - the BZX84C5V6S-7 conducts in forward bias with typical VF = 0.9 V at 10 mA, per datasheet maximum ratings. However, it is not optimized for rectification; its forward characteristics are secondary to its precision reverse-bias zener function, and forward surge capability is not characterized.
How does the SOT-363 package affect thermal performance compared to SOT-23?
The SOT-363 package has higher thermal resistance (625 °C/W) than typical SOT-23 Zeners (~400–500 °C/W) due to smaller pad area and dual-die layout. Derating begins immediately above 25 °C ambient; full 200 mW dissipation requires strict adherence to Diodes' recommended pad layout (AP02001) to avoid exceeding junction temperature limits.
Is the BZX84C5V6S-7 suitable for automotive applications?
No - the BZX84C5V6S-7 is not AEC-Q200 qualified and lacks automotive-grade screening, high-temp reliability data beyond +150 °C, or guaranteed PPAP documentation. While its -65 °C to +150 °C operating range overlaps some automotive under-hood environments, Diodes does not certify this part for automotive use.
