Product details
Overview
BZX84C8V2-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 350 mW surface-mount Zener diode with a nominal zener voltage of 8.2 V (±0.5 V tolerance), 15 Ω maximum zener impedance at 5 mA test current, and 0.7 µA maximum reverse leakage at 5.0 V. It operates across –65 °C to +150 °C and is used for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in low-power analog sensor interfaces and power supply feedback paths.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84C8V2-7 datasheet, BZX84C8V2-7 pinout, BZX84C8V2-7 application, or BZX84C8V2-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage accuracy at 5 mA, thermal resistance (357 °C/W), SOT23 package compatibility, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
This Zener diode employs planar die construction for stable breakdown characteristics and low dynamic impedance. Its 8.2 V nominal zener voltage exhibits a +3.2 mV/°C temperature coefficient, enabling predictable drift compensation in reference circuits.
The device delivers regulated voltage clamping under reverse bias with 15 Ω zener impedance at IZT = 5 mA and maintains ≤0.7 µA reverse current at VR = 5.0 V - critical for low-quiescent-current bias networks.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 8.2 V nominal (7.7–8.7 V range at IZT = 5 mA); sets precise clamping threshold in voltage-reference designs. |
| Power Dissipation | 350 mW at TA = 25 °C; supports continuous regulation in compact SOT23 footprint without forced cooling. |
| Zener Impedance | 15 Ω max at 1 kHz, IZT = 5 mA; ensures minimal output voltage variation under load transients. |
| Reverse Leakage | 0.7 µA max at VR = 5.0 V; preserves signal integrity in high-impedance biasing and sensing nodes. |
| Temperature Coefficient | +3.2 mV/°C at IZT = 5 mA; enables predictable thermal drift modeling in precision references. |
| Thermal Resistance | 357 °C/W junction-to-ambient (free-air); defines safe operating margin for PCB layout without heatsinking. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT23 - 3-terminal surface-mount plastic package with matte tin-plated alloy 42 leadframe; UL 94V-0 rated, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Pin 1) | Forward conduction terminal | Connected to lower-potential node in reverse-biased Zener configuration; anchors cathode-side reference point. |
| Cathode (Pin 2) | Zener breakdown terminal | Connected to higher-potential node; establishes regulated voltage drop when reverse biased above 8.2 V. |
| No-Connect (Pin 3) | Internal die attach flag | Electrically isolated; serves mechanical support only - must remain unconnected in PCB layout. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Planar die construction | Ensures repeatable zener voltage distribution and low parameter drift over time and temperature. |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive applications including engine control modules and body electronics requiring high-reliability voltage references. |
| Lead-free & halogen-free | Fully RoHS 3 compliant (<900 ppm Br, <900 ppm Cl, <1000 ppm Sb); meets green manufacturing requirements for industrial and consumer end equipment. |
| SOT23 tape-and-reel packaging | Enables direct placement on automated SMT lines with 3,000-unit reels; reduces assembly cost and handling risk. |
Applications
| Industrial Sensor Signal Conditioning | Automotive Power Supply Feedback |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5233BS-7-F | 8.2 V nominal, but 20 Ω zener impedance (vs. 15 Ω) and 1.0 µA reverse leakage at 5 V (vs. 0.7 µA). | Higher impedance limits regulation accuracy in high-precision references; acceptable for general-purpose clamping. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs tight regulation needs and AEC-Q101 is not required. |
| BZX84-C8V2,115 | Same electrical specs, but packaged in 10,000-unit tape-and-reel (–13-F suffix) and manufactured by Nexperia. | Identical performance and SOT23 footprint; differs only in traceability and qualification documentation. | Select for volume procurement where dual-sourcing or alternate logistics are prioritized. |
Compared with MMBZ5233BS-7-F and BZX84-C8V2,115, the BZX84C8V2-7 offers superior regulation stability (lower ZZT), tighter leakage control, and automotive-grade qualification - making it optimal for safety-critical or high-accuracy voltage reference roles.

FAQ
What is the maximum power dissipation of BZX84C8V2-7 at 70°C ambient?
At 70°C ambient, the BZX84C8V2-7 derates linearly from its 350 mW rating at 25°C. Using the 357 °C/W thermal resistance, the allowable power drops to approximately 215 mW - calculated as 350 mW × (1 − (70 − 25)/357). This ensures safe operation without exceeding 150°C junction temperature.
Is BZX84C8V2-7 suitable for use in automotive ECUs?
Yes - BZX84C8V2-7 is qualified to AEC-Q101 standards and rated for –65 °C to +150 °C operation. Its planar die construction, low leakage, and stable zener voltage make it appropriate for engine control unit voltage references and CAN bus power rail protection circuits.
How does the 8.2 V zener voltage tolerance affect circuit design?
The BZX84C8V2-7 has a guaranteed 7.7–8.7 V range at 5 mA. Designers must account for this ±0.5 V spread in feedback divider calculations or reference buffer gain stages - especially in 12-bit ADC systems where 0.5 V error represents ~12 LSBs at 3.3 V full scale.
Can BZX84C8V2-7 replace BZX84C8V2 in existing PCB layouts?
Yes - both share identical SOT23 package dimensions, pinout (anode/cathode/no-connect), and thermal profile. The "-7" suffix denotes 3,000-unit tape-and-reel packaging; no layout or schematic changes are needed for drop-in replacement in production or rework scenarios.
