Product details
Overview
BZX84W-B36-QF from Nexperia is a ±2 % tolerance Zener voltage regulator diode in SOT323 (SC-70) package, rated for 36 V nominal Zener voltage at 5 mA, 350 Ω differential resistance, and 33.0 mV/K temperature coefficient. It delivers stable reference voltage in automotive power supply rails and high-frequency bias networks with 275 mW total power dissipation on FR4 PCB.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84W-B36-QF datasheet, BZX84W-B36-QF pinout, BZX84W-B36-QF application, or BZX84W-B36-QF equivalent, this page provides verified Zener voltage, thermal resistance, reverse leakage, forward voltage, and AEC-Q101 qualification status to support automotive-grade voltage reference selection and layout validation.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain precise DC voltage under varying load and temperature conditions. Its ±2 % tolerance ensures tight regulation across production batches, while the 33.0 mV/K temperature coefficient enables predictable drift compensation in temperature-sensitive circuits.
The device features low 1.0 pF junction capacitance at 1 MHz and 0 V bias, supporting use in RF decoupling and fast transient suppression. With 40 W non-repetitive peak reverse power capability and 150 °C maximum junction temperature, it withstands surge events in automotive 12 V/24 V systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 35.3 V to 36.7 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines regulated output voltage window for precision reference design |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | 350 Ω max at IZ = 5 mA - determines load regulation error under current variation |
| Temperature Coefficient (SZ) | 33.0 mV/K typical at IZ = 2 mA - quantifies voltage drift per degree Celsius for thermal stability analysis |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 1 µA max at VR = 2 V - limits standby current in low-power voltage monitor circuits |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 0.9 V max at IF = 10 mA - sets minimum forward bias headroom for series-connected protection schemes |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 275 mW at Tamb = 25 °C on FR4 PCB - establishes thermal derating baseline for board-level power budgeting |
| Junction-to-Ambient Thermal Resistance (Rth(j-a)) | 455 K/W - determines temperature rise above ambient per watt of dissipated power |
Pinout & Package

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84W-C36-Q | ±5 % tolerance (34.0 V–38.0 V), higher 45 pF capacitance, same SOT323 package | Acceptable where system voltage margin > ±5 % and RF performance not critical | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs precision and high-frequency needs |
| MMSZ5245B-TP | ±5 % tolerance, 500 mW Ptot, SOD-123 package, 300 Ω rdif, no AEC-Q101 qualification | Higher power handling but lacks automotive qualification and tighter tolerance | Use only in non-automotive industrial designs requiring >275 mW dissipation |
Compared with BZX84W-C36-Q and MMSZ5245B-TP, the BZX84W-B36-QF offers superior voltage accuracy and automotive qualification at the expense of higher unit cost and lower power rating-making it optimal for safety-critical 36 V reference nodes where precision and reliability are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse current at 2 V for BZX84W-B36-QF?
The maximum reverse current (IR) is 1 µA at VR = 2 V, measured at Tj = 25 °C. This low leakage supports ultra-low-power biasing in battery-operated sensor nodes and ensures minimal quiescent current draw in always-on automotive subsystems.
Is BZX84W-B36-QF suitable for reflow soldering?
Yes-BZX84W-B36-QF is qualified for lead-free reflow soldering per J-STD-020. The SOT323 package uses standard IPC-7351B land pattern with 0.65 mm pitch and supports peak temperatures up to 260 °C for ≤30 seconds, matching JEDEC Level 1 moisture sensitivity requirements.
How does the temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy over −40 °C to +125 °C?
With a typical SZ of 33.0 mV/K and ΔT = 165 K, the worst-case Zener voltage shift is ±5.45 V. Combined with ±2 % initial tolerance (±0.72 V), total variation remains within ±6.17 V (±17.1 %) - acceptable for non-critical reference applications where system calibration compensates drift.
Can Pin 2 be used as a thermal pad or ground connection?
No-Pin 2 is internally not connected (n.c.) per Nexperia's official pinning diagram. Connecting it to any net risks mechanical stress on the die bond wire and violates the SOT323 mechanical specification. It must remain electrically and thermally isolated per datasheet guidance.
