Product details
Overview
BZX84C8V2Q-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is an automotive-grade 8.2 V, 350 mW surface-mount Zener diode in SOT23 package, designed for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in low-power analog circuits. It delivers ±5% nominal Zener voltage tolerance at 5 mA test current, 15 Ω dynamic impedance, and 0.7 µA maximum reverse leakage at 6.2 V, with AEC-Q101 qualification for under-hood automotive applications.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84C8V2Q-7-F datasheet, BZX84C8V2Q-7-F pinout, BZX84C8V2Q-7-F application, or BZX84C8V2Q-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, thermal resistance (357 °C/W), power derating behavior above 25°C, and automotive qualification status - all critical for stable reference and clamp functionality in sensor interfaces and power rail supervision.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain a stable 8.2 V reference across load and line variations. Its planar die construction ensures consistent voltage regulation and low temperature coefficient (+3.2 mV/°C), enabling predictable performance from −65°C to +150°C operating range.
The device exhibits 15 Ω Zener impedance at 5 mA and 80 Ω at knee current (1 mA), supporting both shunt regulation and transient clamping roles. Its 350 mW power rating applies under ambient-temperature terminal conditions, with derating to 300 mW on FR-4 PCB per JEDEC guidelines.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMSZ4702T1G | 8.2 V nominal, 500 mW rating, 30 Ω ZZT, no AEC-Q101 qualification | Higher power margin but higher impedance and non-automotive grade | Select when board-level thermal design supports >350 mW and automotive qualification is not required |
| BZX84-C8V2-7-F | Identical electrical specs, same SOT23 package, but standard (non-automotive) qualification | Lacks AEC-Q101 validation; unsuitable for under-hood deployment | Acceptable for consumer or industrial applications where extended temperature reliability is not mandated |
Compared with MMSZ4702T1G and BZX84-C8V2-7-F, BZX84C8V2Q-7-F uniquely combines automotive qualification, low 15 Ω impedance, and green material compliance - making it the only choice for AEC-compliant 8.2 V reference designs requiring both precision and supply-chain traceability.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage (VR) this Zener can withstand before breakdown?
The BZX84C8V2Q-7-F has a nominal Zener voltage of 8.2 V at 5 mA, with a guaranteed breakdown range of 7.7–8.7 V. Its absolute maximum reverse voltage before destructive failure is not specified separately - operation beyond 8.7 V at rated current risks exceeding 350 mW dissipation and thermal runaway. For safe clamping, design margins should keep peak reverse voltage ≤9 V.
Does this part have a specified total capacitance value?
No specific capacitance value is listed for BZX84C8V2Q-7-F in the datasheet. However, Figure 5 shows typical total capacitance for 8.2 V Zeners is ~15 pF at 1 V reverse bias and ~10 pF at 2 V reverse bias, measured at 1 MHz. This low capacitance supports use in high-frequency signal paths without significant loading.
Can this Zener be used in series or parallel configurations?
Series connection is acceptable for higher-voltage references (e.g., two 8.2 V devices for ~16.4 V), provided current matching and thermal coupling are controlled. Parallel use is strongly discouraged due to mismatched Zener impedances and thermal runaway risk - even small voltage differences cause current hogging and localized overheating.
How does the "Q" suffix affect packaging and marking?
"Q" denotes automotive qualification per AEC-Q101 and corresponds to green (halogen/antimony-free) molding compound. Marking includes "Z7" as the type code and a date code (e.g., "YM") per Diodes' SOT23 top-view layout. Packaging is 3,000 units per tape-and-reel reel (7-F designation), with full traceability documentation for automotive PPAP submission.
