Product details
Overview
BZX84C7V5_D87Z from ON Semiconductor is a 7.5 V ±5% tolerance surface-mount Zener diode in SOT-23 package, rated for 250 mW power dissipation at 25°C ambient, with typical zener impedance of 6 Ω at 20 mA and reverse leakage current ≤1 µA at 5.0 V, used for voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in low-power analog and digital supply rails.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84C7V5_D87Z datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±5%), dynamic impedance at specified test current, thermal resistance (RJA = 465°C/W), junction temperature range (–55°C to +150°C), and SOT-23 footprint compatibility with automated PCB assembly.
Technical Context
The BZX84C7V5_D87Z operates as a silicon planar epitaxial Zener diode optimized for stable voltage reference and clamping functions in space-constrained designs. Its breakdown mechanism is predominantly avalanche-dominated above 6 V, resulting in positive temperature coefficient behavior (+2.5 mV/°C at 5 mA) and low capacitance (140 pF at 0 V).
It is characterized at three test currents (1 mA, 5 mA, 20 mA) to support design flexibility across varying load conditions. The device meets JEDEC standard SOT-23 mechanical dimensions and is qualified per JESD22-A108 for operating junction temperature up to +150°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 7.0 V min / 8.0 V max at IZ = 20 mA - defines regulated output voltage window under nominal load |
| Zener Impedance (ZZ) | 6 Ω max at IZ = 20 mA - determines output voltage stability under dynamic load changes |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 250 mW at TA = 25°C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling on standard FR-4 PCB |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤1 µA at VR = 5.0 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in standby or high-impedance bias networks |
| Tempco (dVZ/dT) | +2.5 mV/°C at IZ = 5 mA - quantifies voltage drift with ambient temperature variation |
| Junction-to-Ambient RJA | 465°C/W - enables thermal derating calculation for operation above 25°C ambient |
| Capacitance (CJ) | 140 pF at VR = 0 V, f = 1 MHz - impacts high-frequency noise filtering and signal integrity in RF-adjacent circuits |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT-23 (JEDEC TO-236AB), 3-terminal plastic surface-mount package with cathode-marked lead. Standard footprint compatible with IPC-7351B SOICN-3 land pattern.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5236BS-7-F | Zener voltage 7.5 V ±5%, PD = 200 mW, ZZ = 7 Ω at 20 mA, RJA = 500°C/W | Lower power rating reduces thermal margin in sustained 15 mA operation; identical SOT-23 pinout | Select when board-level thermal management limits average power to <180 mW |

FAQ
What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation for BZX84C7V5_D87Z?
The BZX84C7V5_D87Z has a maximum power dissipation of 250 mW at an ambient temperature of 25°C when mounted on a standard FR-4 PCB. Derating is required above 25°C at 0.54 mW/°C based on its RJA of 465°C/W. This limit ensures safe operation without exceeding the 150°C maximum junction temperature.
Does BZX84C7V5_D87Z have a specified forward voltage?
Yes, the BZX84C7V5_D87Z specifies a maximum forward voltage of 0.9 V at 10 mA forward current, consistent across the entire BZX84 series. This value is relevant for applications where the device may conduct in forward bias, such as input protection or bidirectional clamping circuits.
What is the zener impedance of BZX84C7V5_D87Z at 5 mA test current?
The BZX84C7V5_D87Z exhibits a zener impedance of 80 Ω maximum at 5 mA test current, as documented in the Electrical Characteristics table. This higher impedance at low current reflects increased dynamic resistance in the knee region of the breakdown curve, which affects regulation accuracy under light-load conditions.
Is BZX84C7V5_D87Z suitable for ESD protection on high-speed data lines?
The BZX84C7V5_D87Z provides effective clamping for low-energy transients but is not optimized for high-speed ESD protection due to its 140 pF junction capacitance. For USB 2.0 or I²C lines, dedicated low-capacitance TVS diodes (e.g., <5 pF) are preferred; however, BZX84C7V5_D87Z remains suitable for low-frequency GPIO or power rail clamping.
How does temperature affect the zener voltage of BZX84C7V5_D87Z?
The BZX84C7V5_D87Z has a positive temperature coefficient of +2.5 mV/°C at 5 mA, meaning its zener voltage increases linearly with rising junction temperature. Over –55°C to +150°C, this results in approximately ±375 mV total drift, which must be accounted for in precision reference designs.
