Product details
Overview
BZX84W-B6V2-QF from Nexperia is a ±2% tolerance Zener voltage regulator diode in SOT323 (SC-70) package, rated for 6.2 V nominal Zener voltage at 5 mA, 150 Ω differential resistance, and 2.3 mV/K temperature coefficient. It delivers stable reference voltage in automotive power supply rails, ECU voltage monitoring circuits, and overvoltage clamp stages.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84W-B6V2-QF datasheet, BZX84W-B6V2-QF pinout, BZX84W-B6V2-QF application, or BZX84W-B6V2-QF equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance (455 K/W), junction temperature limit (150 °C), reverse leakage current (3 µA at 4 V), and AEC-Q101 qualification status.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain precise DC voltage regulation under varying load and temperature conditions. Its 6.2 V nominal Zener voltage is specified at IZ = 5 mA with ±2% tolerance, and exhibits low dynamic impedance (150 Ω) for minimal output voltage variation across current changes.
The device features a positive temperature coefficient of +2.3 mV/K at 5 mA, enabling predictable drift behavior in temperature-sensitive references. It is qualified per AEC-Q101 and rated for operation from −55 °C to +150 °C ambient, with maximum junction temperature limited to 150 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 6.2 V nominal at IZ = 5 mA; tight ±2% tolerance ensures accurate voltage reference in precision regulation circuits. |
| Differential Resistance (rdiff) | 150 Ω max at IZ = 5 mA; low impedance maintains stable output under load transients. |
| Temperature Coefficient (SZ) | +2.3 mV/K at IZ = 5 mA; enables predictable, linear voltage drift for compensated designs. |
| Reverse Leakage Current (IR) | 3 µA max at VR = 4 V; low leakage preserves accuracy in high-impedance bias networks. |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 275 mW at Tamb = 25 °C on FR4 PCB; defines maximum continuous steady-state power handling. |
| Junction-to-Ambient Thermal Resistance (Rth(j-a)) | 455 K/W; determines temperature rise per watt dissipated in standard mounting conditions. |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 0.9 V max at IF = 10 mA; supports use as forward-biased clamp or protection element. |
| Non-repetitive Peak Reverse Power (PZSM) | 40 W at tp = 100 µs; enables transient surge suppression in automotive load-dump scenarios. |
Pinout & Package
SOT323 (SC-70) leadless surface-mount plastic package with 3 terminals; compact 2.2 mm × 1.35 mm footprint, 0.65 mm pitch, and 0.1 mm A1 height for high-density PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode (A) | Connected to lower-potential side in reverse-bias configuration; required for proper Zener conduction path. |
| 2 | Not Connected (n.c.) | Internally unconnected terminal; must remain floating-no PCB trace or solder mask opening required. |
| 3 | Cathode (K) | Connected to higher-potential side in reverse-bias; carries regulated Zener current and defines reference node polarity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD testing-enables direct use in engine control, body electronics, and ADAS modules. |
| ±2% Zener voltage tolerance | Reduces need for post-production trimming in voltage reference circuits, improving yield and simplifying BOM management for Tier 1 suppliers. |
| Low differential resistance (150 Ω) | Minimizes output voltage deviation under ±1 mA load current variation-critical for analog sensor biasing and ADC reference stability. |
| High-temperature operation (Tj ≤ 150 °C) | Supports placement near heat-generating components (e.g., power MOSFETs, DC-DC inductors) without derating in under-hood applications. |
| SC-70 package compatibility | Enables automated pick-and-place assembly and reflow soldering per J-STD-020; footprint matches industry-standard SOT323 land patterns. |
Applications
| Automotive Engine Control Unit (ECU) Reference | Industrial Sensor Signal Conditioning |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84W-C6V2-Q | ±5% Zener tolerance (vs. ±2%), identical package and thermal specs. | Acceptable where cost sensitivity outweighs precision requirement; not suitable for ASIL-B or 12-bit+ reference designs. | Select when tighter tolerance is unnecessary and BOM cost reduction is prioritized over reference accuracy. |
| MMSZ5234B-TP | Same 6.2 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, SOD-123 package (larger footprint, higher Rth(j-a) = 500 K/W). | Limited to non-automotive, lower-power applications due to lack of AEC-Q101 qualification and reduced thermal performance. | Choose only for consumer-grade boards where space constraints allow larger SOD-123 and automotive qualification is not required. |
Compared with BZX84W-C6V2-Q and MMSZ5234B-TP, the BZX84W-B6V2-QF provides superior voltage accuracy and automotive qualification in the smallest footprint-making it optimal for space-constrained, safety-critical ECU and ADAS subsystems.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current this diode can handle at 25 °C?
The BZX84W-B6V2-QF has a maximum total power dissipation of 275 mW at Tamb = 25 °C. At its 6.2 V Zener voltage, this corresponds to a maximum continuous reverse current of approximately 44.4 mA (275 mW ÷ 6.2 V). Exceeding this current risks thermal runaway unless board-level heatsinking or derating is applied.
Is Pin 2 truly unconnected, or does it serve a mechanical or thermal function?
Pin 2 is electrically unconnected (n.c.) per Nexperia's official pinning diagram and internal construction. It serves no electrical function and must remain floating. While it may provide minor mechanical anchoring during reflow, it contributes negligibly to thermal conduction-Rth(j-a) is defined with Pin 2 unconnected and un-soldered.
How does the +2.3 mV/K temperature coefficient affect long-term reference stability?
The +2.3 mV/K coefficient means the Zener voltage increases by 2.3 mV per Kelvin rise in junction temperature. Over a 100 K range (e.g., −40 °C to +60 °C ambient), this produces ~230 mV drift-offset by initial ±2% tolerance (±124 mV). Total worst-case drift remains within ±354 mV, supporting applications needing <±0.6% reference stability.
Can this diode be used in forward-bias mode, and what is its typical forward voltage?
Yes, the BZX84W-B6V2-QF functions as a standard silicon diode in forward bias. Its forward voltage is guaranteed ≤0.9 V at IF = 10 mA and Tj = 25 °C, aligning with typical Si diode characteristics. This enables dual-use in clamp circuits requiring both reverse Zener action and forward conduction paths.
