Product details
Overview
BZX84C8V2W-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount Zener diode with nominal 8.2 V zener voltage, 200 mW power dissipation, and SOT-323 package. It regulates voltage in low-power biasing, reference, and overvoltage protection circuits, operating across –65 °C to +125 °C with ±0.5 V zener tolerance at 5 mA test current.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84C8V2W-7-F datasheet, BZX84C8V2W-7-F pinout, BZX84C8V2W-7-F application, or BZX84C8V2W-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage accuracy (7.7–8.7 V), low reverse leakage (≤0.7 µA at 5.0 V), temperature coefficient (+3.2 to +6.2 mV/°C), and thermal resistance (625 K/W).
Technical Context
This Zener diode uses planar die construction for stable breakdown characteristics and operates under reverse-biased conditions to maintain a fixed voltage across its terminals. Its 8.2 V nominal zener voltage is specified at 5 mA test current (IZT), with dynamic impedance of 15 Ω at IZT and 80 Ω at knee current (IZK = 1.0 mA).
The device exhibits a positive temperature coefficient (+3.2 to +6.2 mV/°C), indicating increasing zener voltage with rising junction temperature. It is rated for 200 mW power dissipation on FR4 PCB with recommended pad layout, derating linearly above 25 °C ambient per the published curve.
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 - defines regulation setpoint tolerance |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 200 mW at TA = 25 °C - limits continuous reverse-bias power handling on standard FR4 |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 15 Ω at IZT = 5 mA - indicates regulation stiffness under nominal load |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤0.7 µA at VR = 5.0 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in standby bias networks |
| Temp Coefficient (αVZ) | +3.2 to +6.2 mV/°C at IZT = 5 mA - quantifies voltage drift with temperature in precision references |
| Junction-to-Ambient RθJA | 625 K/W - determines thermal rise per mW; requires adequate copper area for full rating |
| Operating Temperature | –65 °C to +125 °C - supports industrial and automotive under-hood environments |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT-323 - ultra-small surface-mount plastic case (2.0–2.2 mm length × 1.15–1.35 mm width × 0.25–0.40 mm height), RoHS-compliant, matte tin-plated leads, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Pin 1) | Forward conduction terminal / cathode reference ground | Connected to lower-potential node; reverse-biased operation places cathode at higher potential |
| Cathode (Pin 2) | Zener breakdown terminal / regulated output node | Provides stable 8.2 V relative to anode when reverse current ≥1 mA flows |
| Case / Heat Sink (Pin 3) | Non-electrical mechanical termination | SOT-323 has no internal thermal pad; thermal path relies on leadframe conduction to PCB copper |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Planar die construction | Enables tight zener voltage distribution and repeatable breakdown characteristics across production lots |
| Ultra-small SOT-323 footprint | 0.006 g mass and 2.2 × 1.35 mm outline enable high-density PCB layouts in space-constrained modules |
| Lead-free and RoHS compliant | Matte tin finish over Alloy 42 leadframe meets global environmental compliance without solderability compromise |
| Green molding compound | Halogen-free, UL 94V-0 rated encapsulant eliminates brominated flame retardants for safer end-of-life processing |
Applications
| Power Supply Reference | Overvoltage Clamp |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5231BS-7-F | Same SOT-323 package; 5.1 V nominal zener, 100 mW rating, 17 Ω ZZT, –2.7 to +1.2 mV/°C tempco | Limited to lower-voltage reference designs; unsuitable for 8 V+ regulation or clamping | Select when 5.1 V reference with tighter tempco is required and power budget is ≤100 mW |
| BZX84C8V2LT1G | Same 8.2 V rating and SOT-23 package; 350 mW rating, 15 Ω ZZT, +3.2 to +6.2 mV/°C tempco, but larger footprint | Higher power handling enables use in 10–20 mA bias networks; incompatible with SOT-323 land patterns | Choose for higher reliability in thermally demanding environments where board space permits SOT-23 |
Compared with MMBZ5231BS-7-F and BZX84C8V2LT1G, BZX84C8V2W-7-F uniquely balances 8.2 V regulation, 200 mW capability, and ultra-compact SOT-323 packaging-making it optimal for space-constrained 8 V reference and clamp roles where thermal margin exceeds 100 mW but SOT-23 is prohibitive.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage this diode can withstand before breakdown?
The BZX84C8V2W-7-F is designed to operate as a Zener regulator in reverse breakdown, with a nominal zener voltage of 8.2 V. Its guaranteed breakdown range is 7.7 V to 8.7 V at 5 mA test current. It is not rated for blocking in forward bias beyond 0.9 V, nor for sustained reverse voltage below its zener threshold without regulation.
Can this part be used in place of a 1N4733A?
No - the 1N4733A is a through-hole 5.1 V, 1 W Zener in DO-41 package, while BZX84C8V2W-7-F is an 8.2 V, 200 mW SOT-323 device. Voltage mismatch, power rating disparity, and incompatible packaging prevent direct substitution without circuit redesign and thermal reassessment.
Is the SOT-323 package compatible with reflow soldering per J-STD-020?
Yes - the device's terminals are solderable per MIL-STD-202, Method 208, and its moisture sensitivity level is rated Level 1 per J-STD-020D, meaning it may be stored indefinitely at ≤30 °C/60% RH and processed using standard Pb-free reflow profiles without baking.
Does this Zener diode have a specified capacitance value?
No specific capacitance is listed in the datasheet for BZX84C8V2W-7-F. However, Figure 4 shows typical total capacitance for the BZX84C series: ~15 pF at 8.2 V nominal zener voltage and 1 V reverse bias, measured at 1 MHz. This value increases slightly at lower bias voltages.
