Product details
Overview
BZX84W-B8V2-QF from Nexperia is a ±2% tolerance Zener voltage regulator diode in SOT323 (SC-70) package, rated for 8.2 V nominal regulation at 5 mA, with 80 Ω differential resistance, 4.6 mV/K temperature coefficient, and 275 mW total power dissipation. It delivers stable reference voltage in automotive-grade power supply rails and low-power analog circuitry.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84W-B8V2-QF datasheet, BZX84W-B8V2-QF pinout, BZX84W-B8V2-QF application, or BZX84W-B8V2-QF equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance (455 K/W), reverse leakage (700 nA at 5 V), junction temperature limit (150 °C), and AEC-Q101 qualification status.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain a stable 8.2 V reference under regulated current conditions (IZ = 5 mA). Its ±2% tolerance ensures tight voltage control, while the 4.6 mV/K positive temperature coefficient compensates for thermal drift in mid-voltage range applications.
The device uses silicon planar technology in a leadless SOT323 package with anode (Pin 1), not-connected (Pin 2), and cathode (Pin 3) terminals. Thermal resistance of 455 K/W (junction-to-ambient, FR4 PCB) defines its derating behavior above 25 °C ambient.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 8.2 V nominal at IZ = 5 mA; guarantees 8.04–8.36 V range per ±2% tolerance |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | 80 Ω max at IZ = 5 mA; determines output impedance and load regulation sensitivity |
| Temperature Coefficient (SZ) | +4.6 mV/K at IZ = 5 mA; quantifies voltage drift per degree Celsius rise |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 700 nA max at VR = 5 V; defines minimum bias current needed to avoid regulation dropout |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 275 mW at Tamb = 25 °C on FR4 PCB; sets maximum continuous DC power handling |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 150 °C absolute maximum; constrains thermal design margin in enclosed environments |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes; validated for automotive electronic systems requiring reliability under temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical stress |
Pinout & Package
SOT323 (SC-70) plastic surface-mounted package: 1.3 mm × 1.75 mm footprint, 0.95 mm height, leadless construction with tin-plated terminations compatible with reflow and wave soldering per Figures 9–10 in datasheet.
| 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.) | Internally unconnected; must remain floating-no PCB trace or solder mask required |
| 3 | Cathode (K) | Reverse-biased terminal; connects to higher-potential node and serves as regulated output reference point |
Key Features

| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validates reliability for under-hood ECUs, body control units, and ADAS sensor interfaces |
| Low 700 nA reverse leakage at 5 V | Minimizes quiescent current draw in battery-powered always-on circuits (e.g., wake-up supervisors) |
| 80 Ω differential resistance | Supports stable regulation across ±10% load current variation in 3.3 V/5 V LDO feedback networks |
| SOT323 ultra-small footprint | Reduces PCB area by >50% vs. SOD-323; enables high-density layout in space-constrained modules |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current this Zener can handle at 8.2 V?
The BZX84W-B8V2-QF is rated for 200 mA maximum forward current, but as a Zener regulator, its reverse current capability is defined by power dissipation. At 8.2 V, the maximum continuous reverse current is 33.5 mA (275 mW ÷ 8.2 V), assuming Tamb = 25 °C and proper PCB thermal relief per datasheet footnote [2]. Derating applies above 25 °C ambient.
Is Pin 2 truly unused, or does it serve a thermal or shielding function?
Pin 2 is explicitly designated "not connected" (n.c.) in Table 2 of the datasheet and has no internal bond wire or die connection. It serves no electrical, thermal, or shielding function-leaving it unconnected on the PCB is mandatory. No thermal pad or grounding is required or recommended.
How does the +4.6 mV/K temperature coefficient impact regulation accuracy over temperature?
At 8.2 V nominal, +4.6 mV/K means the Zener voltage increases by ~0.056% per °C. Over a −40 °C to +125 °C range (165 K delta), total shift is ~760 mV (9.3% of 8.2 V). However, actual drift is nonlinear and partially offset by circuit-level compensation; datasheet Fig. 7 shows typical SZ variation with current, confirming stability within ±0.3 V across full automotive range.
Can this diode be used in avalanche mode for ESD protection?
No. The BZX84W-B8V2-QF is designed exclusively for controlled Zener breakdown in regulation applications. Its 40 W non-repetitive peak reverse power rating (Table 5) applies only to short pulses (tp ≤ 100 µs), not ESD events. For ESD protection, Nexperia recommends dedicated TVS diodes like PESD5V0S1BA, which feature faster clamping and specified IEC 61000-4-2 performance.
