Product details
Overview
BZX84W-B3V0F from Nexperia is a ±2 % tolerance Zener voltage regulator diode in SOT323 (SC-70) package, rated for 3.0 V nominal Zener voltage at 5 mA, 275 mW total power dissipation, and 150 °C maximum junction temperature. It serves as a precision voltage reference or shunt regulator in low-power analog signal conditioning, power supply feedback loops, and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84W-B3V0F datasheet, BZX84W-B3V0F pinout, BZX84W-B3V0F application, or BZX84W-B3V0F equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±2 %), differential resistance (95 Ω at 5 mA), reverse leakage current (10 µA at 1 V), thermal resistance (455 K/W), and SOT323 footprint compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable voltage across its cathode-anode terminals under varying load or input conditions. Its ±2 % tolerance and low 95 Ω differential resistance at 5 mA ensure tight regulation accuracy and minimal voltage drift with current changes.
The device exhibits a negative temperature coefficient of −2.1 mV/K at 5 mA, enabling predictable thermal behavior in ambient ranges from −55 °C to +150 °C. Its 275 mW power rating is defined for FR4 PCB mounting with single-sided copper and standard SOT323 footprint.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 3.0 V nominal at IZ = 5 mA; ensures precise 3.0 V reference within ±2 % (2.94–3.06 V) for feedback or clamping. |
| Tolerance | ±2 % (B-series); guarantees tighter voltage control than ±5 % C-series variants for critical regulation tasks. |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | 95 Ω max at IZ = 5 mA; limits output voltage variation to ≤0.475 V per 5 mA current shift. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 10 µA max at VR = 1 V; minimizes standby current draw in battery-powered or low-quiescent circuits. |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 275 mW at Tamb = 25 °C on FR4 PCB; defines safe continuous operating envelope without derating. |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 150 °C max; supports operation in industrial environments with elevated ambient temperatures. |
| Thermal Resistance (Rth(j-a)) | 455 K/W; indicates ~125 °C rise above ambient at full 275 mW dissipation on standard PCB. |
Pinout & Package
SOT323 (SC-70) leadless surface-mount plastic package: 1.35 mm × 1.75 mm footprint, 0.65 mm pitch, 0.9 mm height; optimized for automated reflow assembly and space-constrained designs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode (A) | Forward-biased terminal; connects to lower-potential node in shunt regulation configuration. |
| 2 | Not Connected (n.c.) | Internally unconnected; must remain floating-no PCB trace or solder mask required. |
| 3 | Cathode (K) | Reverse-biased terminal; connects to regulated voltage node and current-limiting resistor. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide Zener voltage range | 2.4 V to 75 V in E24 steps-covers most analog reference and clamp requirements without custom design. |
| Low differential resistance | 95 Ω max at 5 mA-enables stable regulation under dynamic load shifts in feedback networks. |
| High-frequency suitability | 6 pF capacitance at 1 MHz and 0 V-minimizes phase shift in fast-switching or RF-coupled protection paths. |
| Robust thermal performance | 150 °C max junction temperature-supports reliable operation in sealed enclosures or thermally dense assemblies. |
Applications
| Power Supply Feedback | Overvoltage Clamp |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Regulating output voltage in isolated flyback or buck-derived auxiliary supplies. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Shunt reference connected to optocoupler input or error amplifier feedback node. Use Value: ±2 % VZ tolerance and 95 Ω rdif ensure <±1 % output voltage accuracy across line/load/temperature. |
Use Scenario: Protecting microcontroller I/O pins from transient surges exceeding 3.3 V rail. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Reverse-biased clamp between signal line and ground, activated above 3.0 V. Use Value: 10 µA leakage at 1 V prevents false triggering; 275 mW Ptot absorbs short-duration ESD events. |
| Reference Voltage Source | Signal Level Translation |
Use Scenario: Providing stable 3.0 V bias for op-amp comparators or ADC reference dividers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision DC voltage source replacing larger three-terminal regulators in low-current paths. Use Value: −2.1 mV/K temperature coefficient enables predictable drift compensation in sensor front-ends. |
Use Scenario: Shifting 5 V logic signals down to 3.0 V compatible levels for mixed-voltage interfaces. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Cathode tied to 3.0 V rail, anode to 5 V signal-clamps high state to VZ + VF. Use Value: 0.9 V forward voltage at 10 mA ensures clean 3.0 V logic high with <10 ns response to edge transitions. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C3V0 | ±5 % tolerance (3.0 V ±0.15 V), higher 150 Ω rdif, same SOT323 package. | Acceptable where cost sensitivity outweighs regulation precision; less suitable for closed-loop feedback. | Select when budget constraints dominate and ±5 % VZ meets system margin requirements. |
| MMSZ4683T1G | ±5 % tolerance, 3.3 V nominal, 500 mW Ptot, SOD-123 package (larger footprint). | Higher power handling but incompatible pinout; requires PCB redesign and lacks 3.0 V option. | Choose only if 3.3 V reference suffices and board layout allows SOD-123 placement and thermal relief. |
Compared with BZX84W-B3V0F, BZX84-C3V0 trades regulation accuracy for cost, while MMSZ4683T1G offers higher power but sacrifices voltage match and package compatibility-making BZX84W-B3V0F optimal for space-constrained 3.0 V precision shunt needs.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse current at 1 V for BZX84W-B3V0F?
The maximum reverse current (leakage) is 10 µA at VR = 1 V and Tj = 25 °C, as specified in Table 7 of the datasheet. This low leakage ensures minimal loading on upstream circuitry in reference or clamp configurations.
Can BZX84W-B3V0F be used in high-frequency circuits?
Yes-it exhibits only 6 pF junction capacitance at 1 MHz and 0 V bias (Table 8), enabling effective use in RF decoupling, fast transient clamping, and clock signal conditioning up to ~100 MHz without significant attenuation.
Is the n.c. pin on BZX84W-B3V0F electrically isolated?
Yes, Pin 2 is internally not connected and must remain unconnected on the PCB. No trace, pad, or solder mask should contact it, as confirmed by the "n.c." designation in Table 2 and the simplified outline graphic in the datasheet.
How does temperature affect the Zener voltage of BZX84W-B3V0F?
It has a temperature coefficient of −2.1 mV/K at 5 mA (Table 8), meaning VZ decreases by approximately 2.1 mV per degree Celsius rise in junction temperature-critical for predicting drift in non-temperature-compensated circuits.
