Product details
Overview
BZX84W-C6V2-Q from Nexperia is a ±5 % tolerance Zener diode in SOT323 (SC-70) package, rated for 6.2 V nominal regulation voltage at 5 mA, with 150 Ω differential resistance and 2.3 mV/K temperature coefficient, designed for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in automotive power rails.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84W-C6V2-Q datasheet, BZX84W-C6V2-Q pinout, BZX84W-C6V2-Q application, or BZX84W-C6V2-Q equivalent, this device serves as a compact, AEC-Q101-qualified Zener regulator for low-power biasing, ESD clamping, and supply rail stabilization where tight voltage tolerance and thermal stability are required.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with a specified 6.2 V nominal Zener voltage at IZ = 5 mA, exhibiting low dynamic impedance (150 Ω) and positive temperature coefficient (+2.3 mV/K), enabling stable regulation across ambient temperatures from −55 °C to +150 °C.
It features a non-connected (n.c.) terminal (Pin 2), anode (Pin 1), and cathode (Pin 3), and is qualified per AEC-Q101 for automotive use-supporting reliable operation under thermal cycling, humidity, and mechanical stress conditions typical of engine control units and body electronics.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 6.2 V nominal at IZ = 5 mA; ±5 % tolerance ensures regulation within 5.8–6.6 V in production. |
| Differential Resistance (rdiff) | 150 Ω at IZ = 5 mA; maintains low output impedance for stable reference under load variation. |
| Temperature Coefficient (SZ) | +2.3 mV/K at IZ = 5 mA; enables predictable voltage drift compensation in wide-temperature designs. |
| Reverse Current (IR) | 3 µA max at VR = 4 V; ensures minimal leakage during standby or low-power sleep modes. |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 275 mW at Tamb = 25 °C on FR4 PCB; supports continuous regulation in space-constrained automotive modules. |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 150 °C maximum; allows operation in under-hood environments without derating below 125 °C ambient. |
| Package | SOT323 (SC-70); 1.3 mm × 1.75 mm footprint enables high-density layout in ADAS sensor modules and infotainment power supplies. |
Pinout & Package
SOT323 (SC-70) leadless surface-mount plastic package with 3 terminals, 0.65 mm pitch, and standard reflow-compatible footprint per Figure 9 of the datasheet.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode (A) | Connected to lower-potential side of regulated node; reverse-biased during Zener operation. |
| 2 | Not Connected (n.c.) | Internally unconnected; must remain floating-no PCB trace or solder mask opening required. |
| 3 | Cathode (K) | Connected to higher-potential side (e.g., supply rail); carries Zener current during regulation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including HTOL, TC, HAST, and mechanical shock testing. |
| ±5 % Zener tolerance | Enables tighter system-level voltage margin control than ±10 % parts in 12 V rail monitoring circuits. |
| Low 150 Ω dynamic impedance | Reduces output voltage deviation under ±1 mA load step changes in microcontroller reset supervisor circuits. |
| Positive 2.3 mV/K tempco | Compensates for negative tempcos of other components (e.g., op-amp inputs) in analog sensor signal chains. |
| 275 mW power rating on FR4 | Supports sustained 5 mA Zener current without heatsinking in compact ECUs with limited airflow. |
Applications
| Engine Control Unit (ECU) Reference | Infotainment Power Sequencing |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84W-B6V2-Q | ±2 % tolerance (5.9–6.5 V vs. 5.8–6.6 V), 10 Ω lower rdiff (140 Ω), identical package and AEC-Q101 qualification. | Preferred where tighter regulation tolerance is needed for high-accuracy ADC references. | Select when system-level voltage margin is <±30 mV and cost premium for ±2 % is acceptable. |
| MMSZ5234B-TP | ±5 % tolerance, 6.2 V nominal, but SOD-123 package (larger footprint), no AEC-Q101 qualification, 200 Ω rdiff. | Suitable for industrial or consumer boards where automotive qualification is not required. | Choose only for non-automotive designs needing same electrical specs but relaxed reliability requirements. |
Compared with BZX84W-C6V2-Q, the BZX84W-B6V2-Q offers tighter tolerance for precision references, while MMSZ5234B-TP trades automotive qualification and compact size for lower cost in non-automotive applications-making the C-series optimal for cost-sensitive AEC-Q101-compliant designs requiring ±5 % regulation.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse current at 4 V for BZX84W-C6V2-Q?
The maximum reverse current (IR) is 3 µA at VR = 4 V and Tj = 25 °C, as specified in Table 7 of the datasheet. This low leakage supports ultra-low-power operation in battery-backed systems and ensures minimal loading on upstream regulators.
Is Pin 2 electrically connected inside the BZX84W-C6V2-Q package?
No-Pin 2 is explicitly marked "n.c." (not connected) in Table 2 and the simplified outline diagram. It is internally unconnected and must remain unattached on the PCB to avoid unintended parasitic paths or solder bridging risks.
Can BZX84W-C6V2-Q be used in place of a 6.2 V Zener with ±2 % tolerance?
Yes, but with reduced regulation accuracy: its ±5 % tolerance (5.8–6.6 V) widens the operating window compared to ±2 % parts (5.9–6.5 V). Use only where system-level voltage margins accommodate the broader range, such as in non-critical bias networks.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient for this device?
Rth(j-a) is 455 K/W under free-air conditions on a standard FR4 PCB with single-sided copper and tin plating, as stated in Table 6. This value guides thermal derating-e.g., Ptot drops to ~150 mW at 85 °C ambient.
