Product details
Overview
BZX84J-B3V9,115 from Nexperia is a 3.9 V ±2 % tolerance Zener diode in SOD323F (SC-90) package, rated for 550 mW total power dissipation and AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive use. It delivers stable voltage regulation with 3 Ω differential resistance at 5 mA, low 370 pF capacitance, and supports reverse surge up to 40 W (100 µs pulse). It serves as a precision reference or overvoltage clamp in low-power sensor biasing and microcontroller reset circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84J-B3V9,115 datasheet, BZX84J-B3V9,115 pinout, BZX84J-B3V9,115 application, or BZX84J-B3V9,115 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±2 %), thermal resistance (230 K/W), non-repetitive surge capability (40 W), cathode-anode polarity marking, and AEC-Q101 qualification status for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain a stable 3.9 V reference across load variations and temperature shifts. Its ±2 % tolerance and −3.5 to 0 mV/K temperature coefficient ensure tight regulation stability under 5 mA test current and ambient temperatures from −55 °C to +150 °C.
The device uses planar epitaxial construction for low leakage and repeatable breakdown characteristics. With 3 Ω differential resistance and 370 pF junction capacitance at 0 V, it supports fast transient response in low-noise analog references and ESD-robust I/O protection networks.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 3.9 V nominal, ±2 % tolerance - ensures precise 3.82–3.98 V regulation at 5 mA test current |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 550 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C - defines continuous DC power handling on standard FR4 PCB |
| Differential Resistance (rdiff) | 3 Ω at IZ = 5 mA - determines regulation stiffness against load current changes |
| Junction Capacitance (Cd) | 370 pF at f = 1 MHz, VR = 0 V - impacts high-frequency noise filtering and signal integrity in bias networks |
| Non-repetitive Peak Power (PZSM) | 40 W for ≥7.5 V types - confirms surge robustness for transient clamping in automotive environments |
| Reverse Current (IR) | 3 µA max at VR = 3.7 V - defines leakage-induced error in high-impedance reference dividers |
| Thermal Resistance (Rth(j-a)) | 230 K/W - quantifies junction-to-ambient heat rise per watt on standard single-sided FR4 layout |
Pinout & Package
The BZX84J-B3V9,115 is housed in a SOD323F (SC-90) surface-mount plastic package measuring 2.7 × 1.35 × 0.95 mm, with flat leads optimized for reflow soldering. The cathode is marked by a bar on the top surface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (K) | Negative terminal; connects to regulated output node or ground return path in shunt regulator configuration |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Positive terminal; ties to unregulated input rail or voltage source requiring stabilization |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive applications including engine control units and ADAS sensor modules |
| Low differential resistance | 3 Ω enables <10 mV output shift per 30 mA load variation - critical for precision analog references |
| Small SOD323F footprint | 2.7 × 1.35 mm area saves board space in compact wearables and IoT edge nodes |
| Wide operating temperature | −55 °C to +150 °C junction range supports under-hood automotive and industrial motor drive environments |
| Tight voltage tolerance | ±2 % ensures consistent reset threshold across production batches without calibration |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C3V9,115 | ±5 % tolerance (3.7–4.1 V), higher 5 µA max IR at 3.7 V | Acceptable where cost sensitivity outweighs precision; not AEC-Q101 qualified | Select for non-automotive consumer electronics with relaxed accuracy needs |
| MMSZ4684T1G | 3.9 V ±5 %, 500 mW Ptot, SOD-123 package (larger footprint) | Higher thermal resistance (300 K/W); lacks AEC-Q101 certification | Choose when legacy SOD-123 layout compatibility is required and automotive qualification is unnecessary |
Compared with BZX84J-B3V9,115, the BZX84-C3V9,115 trades tighter tolerance and automotive qualification for lower unit cost, while MMSZ4684T1G offers similar voltage but inferior thermal performance and no AEC-Q101 validation-making the original part uniquely suited for space-constrained, high-reliability automotive voltage references.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current for BZX84J-B3V9,115?
The absolute maximum forward current is 250 mA per limiting values table. However, forward conduction is not its intended operating mode; sustained forward bias above 100 mA risks thermal overstress due to 1.1 V forward drop and 230 K/W thermal resistance, potentially degrading long-term Zener voltage stability.
Does BZX84J-B3V9,115 support reflow soldering only?
Yes - the datasheet explicitly states "Reflow soldering is the only recommended soldering method" for the SOD323F package. Wave or hand soldering is not qualified and may cause internal delamination or solder joint voiding due to thermal stress on the small leadframe and mold compound interface.
How does the −3.5 to 0 mV/K temperature coefficient affect circuit design?
This negative coefficient means output voltage decreases slightly as temperature rises. For a 3.9 V Zener, a 100 °C rise causes up to 350 mV drop - requiring compensation in high-accuracy references or acceptance of this drift in less sensitive applications like reset thresholds where monotonic behavior suffices.
Is the 40 W non-repetitive peak power rating applicable at all temperatures?
No - the 40 W rating applies only at Tj = 25 °C prior to surge, with tp = 100 µs square wave. Derating is required above 25 °C; Figure 1 shows PZSM drops to ~10 W at Tj = 150 °C, meaning effective surge handling diminishes significantly in hot environments unless thermal mass or active cooling is used.
