Product details
Overview
BZX84W-B2V7X from Nexperia is a ±2% tolerance Zener diode in SOT323 (SC-70) package, rated for 2.7 V nominal regulation voltage at 5 mA, with 275 mW total power dissipation and 200 mA maximum forward current. It serves as a precision voltage reference or shunt regulator in low-power analog circuits, power supply feedback paths, and overvoltage protection nodes.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84W-B2V7X datasheet, BZX84W-B2V7X pinout, BZX84W-B2V7X application, or BZX84W-B2V7X equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal behavior, SOT323 terminal mapping, and real-world use cases for stable low-voltage regulation in space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain a stable 2.7 V reference across load variations, with differential resistance of 600 Ω at IZ = 1 mA and 100 Ω at IZ = 5 mA. Its negative temperature coefficient of −2.0 mV/K ensures predictable drift under thermal stress.
Designed for surface-mount assembly on FR4 PCBs with single-sided copper, it delivers 455 K/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance and supports non-repetitive surge pulses up to 40 W (100 µs, 25 °C ambient).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Nominal Zener Voltage | 2.7 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines regulation setpoint for feedback or clamping circuits |
| Tolerance | ±2% - enables tight voltage margin control in precision references |
| Power Dissipation | 275 mW at Tamb = 25 °C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling on standard FR4 |
| Forward Voltage | 0.9 V at IF = 10 mA - determines forward conduction loss in series protection configurations |
| Reverse Current | 20 µA at VR = 1 V - specifies leakage level below breakdown, critical for low-power standby operation |
| Junction Temperature | 150 °C max - defines upper thermal limit for reliable long-term operation |
| Package | SOT323 (SC-70) - 1.3 mm × 2.2 mm footprint enabling high-density PCB layouts |
Pinout & Package
SOT323 (SC-70) is a leadless, surface-mount plastic package with three terminals in a compact 1.3 mm × 2.2 mm outline and 0.65 mm pitch. Thermal performance assumes mounting on FR4 with single-sided copper and standard tin-plated footprint per Figure 9.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode (A) | Forward-biased terminal; connects to lower-potential node in Zener regulation configuration |
| 2 | Not Connected (n.c.) | Internal die pad with no electrical connection; must remain unconnected in layout |
| 3 | Cathode (K) | Reverse-biased terminal; connects to higher-potential node and carries regulated current |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-leakage regulation | 20 µA reverse current at 1 V - minimizes quiescent drain in battery-powered voltage monitors |
| Precision voltage stability | ±2% tolerance and −2.0 mV/K tempco - supports stable reference generation across industrial temperature range |
| High surge resilience | 40 W non-repetitive peak reverse power (100 µs) - withstands transient overvoltage events without degradation |
| Miniature SMT footprint | SOT323 package (1.3 × 2.2 mm) - enables placement in tight spaces such as portable sensor modules and wearables |
Applications
| Power Supply Feedback | Overvoltage Clamp |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Regulating output voltage in low-current linear regulators or switching converter feedback loops. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Shunt reference element providing stable 2.7 V reference to error amplifier input. Use Value: Enables accurate output setpoint control within ±2% tolerance, reducing need for post-production trimming. |
Use Scenario: Protecting microcontroller I/O pins from ESD or supply rail transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-acting clamp that conducts above 2.7 V to divert excess energy to ground. Use Value: Limits voltage excursion to ≤2.7 V + forward drop, preventing latch-up or gate oxide damage in 3.3 V logic interfaces. |
| Low-Power Reference | Signal Level Translation |
Use Scenario: Generating a stable bias point for op-amp comparators or ADC reference dividers in IoT sensors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Passive voltage source delivering 2.7 V with minimal current draw (<100 µA standby). Use Value: Achieves <1% regulation error at 10 µA load, extending battery life in always-on sensing nodes. |
Use Scenario: Shifting logic levels between 3.3 V and 2.7 V domains in mixed-voltage systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Forward-biased diode drop (0.9 V) used in series with signal path to offset voltage. Use Value: Provides deterministic 0.9 V drop at 10 mA, enabling clean level shift without active circuitry or timing skew. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84W-C2V7 | ±5% tolerance (vs. ±2%), identical package and thermal specs | Acceptable where tighter regulation not required; lower cost | Select when budget constraints outweigh precision needs and system tolerances allow ±5% variation |
| MMSZ4678T1G | 2.7 V nominal, ±5%, SOD-123 package (larger footprint, 2.7 × 1.6 mm), 500 mW Ptot | Better power handling but occupies 2.5× more board area | Choose only if >275 mW continuous dissipation is needed and SOT323 size is not critical |
Compared with BZX84W-B2V7X, BZX84W-C2V7 trades regulation accuracy for cost, while MMSZ4678T1G sacrifices miniaturization for higher power capacity-neither offers both the ±2% tolerance and SOT323 footprint simultaneously.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current the BZX84W-B2V7X can regulate at 25 °C?
At 25 °C ambient, the device regulates continuously up to 102 mA, calculated from Ptot = 275 mW and VZ = 2.7 V (IZ = Ptot/VZ). Derating applies above 25 °C per the 455 K/W thermal resistance; at 85 °C ambient, maximum usable IZ drops to ~65 mA to maintain Tj ≤ 150 °C.
How does the −2.0 mV/K temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy over −40 °C to +125 °C?
Over −40 °C to +125 °C, the Zener voltage shifts by −2.0 mV per Kelvin, resulting in a total drift of −330 mV (165 K × −2.0 mV/K). At 2.7 V nominal, this represents a −12.2% change. System-level compensation or selection of higher-VZ types with positive tempcos may be needed for wide-temperature stability.
Can the n.c. pin (Pin 2) be grounded or left floating in PCB layout?
Pin 2 is internally not connected and must remain unconnected in layout-neither grounded nor tied to any net. Connecting it risks mechanical stress on the die bond or unintended parasitic coupling. The SOT323 footprint in Figure 9 explicitly excludes solder paste on Pin 2, confirming its isolation requirement.
Is BZX84W-B2V7X suitable for automotive applications?
No. Per Nexperia's revision history (Table 10), the BZX84W series was changed to non-automotive qualification in Rev. 2 (2023). It lacks AEC-Q101 qualification, automotive-grade screening, and guaranteed operation across −40 °C to +150 °C junction range. Automotive alternatives are designated with "-Q" suffixes and documented separately on nexperia.com.
