Product details
Overview
BZX84C8V2-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a 350 mW surface-mount Zener diode with nominal zener voltage 8.2 V (±0.5 V tolerance), 5 mA test current, 15 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, and 0.7 µA maximum reverse leakage at 5.0 V. It operates in SOT23 package and serves as precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in low-power analog signal conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84C8V2-7-F datasheet, BZX84C8V2-7-F pinout, BZX84C8V2-7-F application, or BZX84C8V2-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage accuracy at 5 mA, thermal resistance (357 °C/W), RoHS/Green compliance, AEC-Q101 qualification, and SOT23 footprint compatibility for automated PCB assembly.
Technical Context
This Zener diode uses planar die construction to ensure stable breakdown characteristics across temperature and lifetime. Its 8.2 V nominal zener voltage is specified at 5.0 mA test current with ±6.1% tolerance (7.7–8.7 V range) and exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +3.2 mV/°C.
The device delivers 350 mW power dissipation under ambient-temperature terminal conditions and derates linearly above +25°C per Figure 1. Reverse leakage remains ≤0.7 µA at VR = 5.0 V, supporting low-current biasing in voltage regulation and protection nodes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 8.2 V nominal at IZT = 5 mA; min/max 7.7–8.7 V defines usable regulation window |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 350 mW at TA = 25°C with terminals held at ambient - sets max continuous clamp energy |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 15 Ω at f = 1 kHz and IZT = 5 mA - determines output voltage stability under load variation |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤0.7 µA at VR = 5.0 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in high-impedance reference paths |
| Temperature Coefficient | +3.2 mV/°C - enables predictable drift compensation in temperature-sensitive references |
| Package | SOT23 - 3-pin surface-mount outline with 0.915 mm lead pitch and 2.40 mm body length |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT23 - molded plastic case, UL 94V-0 rated, matte tin-plated alloy 42 leadframe, polarity indicated by cathode band on top surface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Anode) | Current entry during forward bias; grounded node in shunt regulator | Connected to system ground or low-impedance return path when used as voltage reference |
| 2 (Cathode) | Zener breakdown terminal; voltage sensing node | Connected to regulated rail or input node requiring clamping - carries full zener current |
| 3 (Anode) | Second anode connection - internally tied to Pin 1 | Provides mechanical robustness and thermal conduction; must be connected to same net as Pin 1 |

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5233BS-7-F | Zener voltage 8.2 V, but rated at 200 mW PD and 30 Ω ZZT; SOT-323 package | Lower power handling limits use in transient suppression; smaller footprint reduces board area | Select when space-constrained layouts outweigh need for 350 mW surge capacity |
| BZX84-C8V2,115 | Same electrical specs, but packaged in 10,000-piece tape-and-reel (–13-F suffix); identical SOT23 | No functional difference - only packaging and ordering quantity distinction | Choose for high-volume production runs where reel size impacts line efficiency |
Compared with MMBZ5233BS-7-F, BZX84C8V2-7-F offers +75% power margin and lower impedance for tighter regulation; versus BZX84-C8V2,115, it provides identical performance with optimized logistics for medium-batch procurement.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable zener current for continuous operation?
The absolute maximum DC zener current is derived from PD/VZ = 350 mW / 8.2 V ≈ 42.7 mA. However, sustained operation above 20 mA requires thermal derating per Figure 1 and is limited by junction temperature rise. For reliable 24/7 operation at +70°C ambient, recommended IZ is ≤15 mA.
Is BZX84C8V2-7-F suitable for use in automotive powertrain systems?
Yes - it is qualified to AEC-Q101 Rev D for high-reliability automotive applications. While commonly deployed in body electronics, its 150°C max operating temperature and robust construction support use in non-safety-critical powertrain subsystems such as HVAC controls and lighting modules, provided voltage transients remain within ISO 7637-2 Class III limits.
How does the SOT23 package affect thermal performance compared to DO-35?
The SOT23 package has RθJA = 357 °C/W (vs. ~500 °C/W for DO-35), enabling higher power density on modern PCBs. Its low 0.008 g mass and exposed copper leads improve heat transfer to copper pours, but requires adherence to Diodes' recommended pad layout (2.0 mm × 0.9 mm thermal pad) to achieve rated 350 mW dissipation.
Can this Zener diode replace a 7.5 V part in an existing design?
No - the 8.2 V nominal voltage differs by >9% from 7.5 V, exceeding typical feedback loop tolerance. Substituting would shift regulated output voltage proportionally and may cause overvoltage stress on downstream components. Use BZX84C7V5-7-F instead, which has 7.5 V nominal rating and matching SOT23 package.
