Product details
Overview
BZX84W-C2V7-QX from Nexperia is a ±5 % tolerance Zener diode in SOT323 (SC-70) package, rated for 2.7 V nominal regulation voltage at 5 mA, with 20 µA reverse leakage at 1 V, 275 mW total power dissipation, and qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive voltage reference and clamping applications.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84W-C2V7-QX datasheet, BZX84W-C2V7-QX pinout, BZX84W-C2V7-QX application, or BZX84W-C2V7-QX equivalent, this part serves as a precision low-voltage shunt regulator in power supply feedback loops, overvoltage protection circuits, and ESD-tolerant signal-level clamping where tight tolerance and automotive-grade reliability are required.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable DC voltage across its terminals under varying load and input conditions. Its 2.7 V nominal Zener voltage is specified at IZ = 5 mA with ±5 % tolerance, and exhibits a negative temperature coefficient of −2.0 mV/K at that current, enabling predictable thermal drift behavior in bias networks.
The device features a differential resistance of ≤100 Ω at 5 mA, ensuring minimal output impedance during regulation, and supports non-repetitive surge currents up to 40 W (100 µs pulse), making it suitable for transient suppression in compact automotive subsystems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 2.7 V nominal at IZ = 5 mA; defines regulated output level in shunt reference circuits |
| Tolerance | ±5 %; ensures voltage accuracy within 2.565–2.835 V at 25 °C for production consistency |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 20 µA max at VR = 1 V; limits standby current in low-power bias networks |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 275 mW at Tamb = 25 °C on FR4 PCB; sets maximum continuous DC power handling |
| Differential Resistance (rdiff) | ≤100 Ω at IZ = 5 mA; determines regulation stiffness and load-induced voltage variation |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | ≤0.9 V at IF = 10 mA; enables use as low-drop rectifier or polarity protection element |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | −55 °C to +150 °C operating range; supports under-hood automotive environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84W-B2V7-Q | ±2 % tolerance (2.65–2.75 V), tighter regulation but higher cost and reduced availability | Preferred where absolute voltage accuracy dominates over cost and supply chain flexibility | Select when system-level calibration is impractical and initial tolerance directly impacts functional safety compliance |
| MMSZ4678T1G | 2.7 V ±5 %, SOD-123 package, 500 mW Ptot, 300 Ω rdiff, not AEC-Q101 qualified | Suitable for industrial/commercial designs lacking automotive qualification requirements | Choose for cost-sensitive non-automotive applications requiring higher power headroom and relaxed thermal constraints |
Compared with BZX84W-C2V7-QX, the BZX84W-B2V7-Q offers tighter voltage control at the expense of qualification and cost, while MMSZ4678T1G trades automotive reliability for higher power and larger footprint-making the QX variant optimal for space-constrained, safety-critical automotive voltage references.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current this Zener can handle at 2.7 V?
The BZX84W-C2V7-QX is rated for 275 mW total power dissipation at 25 °C ambient. At 2.7 V, this corresponds to a maximum continuous reverse current of approximately 102 mA (275 mW ÷ 2.7 V). Derating applies above 25 °C per the 455 K/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance.
Is Pin 2 truly unused, or does it serve a mechanical or thermal function?
Pin 2 is electrically not connected (n.c.) per Nexperia's official pinning table and internal die construction. It has no electrical function and must remain unconnected on the PCB. While it contributes marginally to mechanical stability, it provides no thermal conduction path and should not be soldered or tied to ground or power planes.
How does the −2.0 mV/K temperature coefficient affect regulation in a 0–105 °C operating range?
With a −2.0 mV/K coefficient, the Zener voltage decreases by 210 mV over a 105 K rise (−2.0 × 105). Starting from 2.700 V at 25 °C, the voltage shifts to ~2.490 V at 105 °C. This predictable drift enables compensation in feedback networks or acceptance within system-level tolerance budgets for non-precision functions.
Can this device be used in forward-bias mode as a standard diode?
Yes-the BZX84W-C2V7-QX exhibits ≤0.9 V forward voltage at 10 mA, meeting typical silicon diode performance. It is routinely used in dual-role applications: reverse-bias for regulation/clamping and forward-bias for polarity protection or low-current rectification, leveraging its qualified automotive construction and small footprint.
