Product details
Overview
BZX884-B16,315 from Nexperia is a ±2 % tolerance Zener diode with 15.68 V to 16.32 V nominal regulation voltage at 5 mA, 50 Ω typical differential resistance, and 12.4 mV/K temperature coefficient - designed for precision voltage reference and overvoltage clamping in space-constrained SMD circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZX884-B16,315 datasheet, BZX884-B16,315 pinout, BZX884-B16,315 application, or BZX884-B16,315 equivalent, this device supports ESD protection, high-frequency biasing, and low-power regulation where ultra-small DFN1006-2 footprint and AEC-Q101 qualification are critical.
Technical Context
This Zener operates in reverse breakdown mode with specified regulation at IZ = 5 mA, maintaining stable voltage under load variations up to 200 mA forward current and 1.5 A non-repetitive peak reverse surge (tp = 100 µs). Its junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is 500 K/W on FR4 PCB.
The device exhibits 90 pF capacitance at 1 MHz and 0 V reverse bias, enabling use in RF-coupled protection paths; its −55 °C to +150 °C ambient operating range and AEC-Q101 qualification confirm suitability for automotive and industrial environments.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX884-C16,315 | ±5 % tolerance (15.2–16.8 V), higher 100 Ω rdiff, same SOD882 package | Acceptable for non-critical biasing where cost sensitivity outweighs voltage precision | Select when budget constraints dominate and ±5 % regulation margin is acceptable |
| MMSZ4687T1G | ±5 % tolerance (15.3–16.7 V), 100 Ω rdiff, SOD-123 package (2.7 × 1.6 mm) | Requires 3× more PCB area; lacks AEC-Q101 qualification | Choose only if legacy SOD-123 footprint must be retained and automotive compliance is not required |
Compared with BZX884-C16,315 and MMSZ4687T1G, the BZX884-B16,315 delivers tighter voltage control and automotive qualification in the smallest possible footprint - making it optimal for next-generation space- and reliability-constrained designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse surge current the BZX884-B16,315 can withstand?
The BZX884-B16,315 supports a non-repetitive peak reverse current of 1.5 A at tp = 100 µs and Tamb = 25 °C, verified per Table 5 limiting values. This rating applies only to single-event transients; repeated surges require derating based on thermal accumulation and duty cycle.
How does the temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy over temperature?
With a +12.4 mV/K coefficient at IZ = 5 mA, the BZX884-B16,315's Zener voltage increases by ~1.24 V across a 100 K rise (e.g., −40 °C to +60 °C). Combined with ±2 % initial tolerance, total variation remains within ±3.5 % over that range - sufficient for most non-precision biasing.
Can this Zener be used in forward conduction mode?
Yes - the device supports up to 200 mA forward current with ≤0.9 V forward voltage at 10 mA (Table 1). However, forward operation is not regulated; it functions as a standard silicon diode with no voltage reference utility in that mode.
Is the SOD882 package compatible with standard 0201 pick-and-place equipment?
Yes - the SOD882 (DFN1006-2) package has 1.0 mm × 0.6 mm dimensions and coplanar terminals matching 0201 footprint tooling. Reflow profile must follow Nexperia's recommended soldering guidelines (Figure 12), and stencil aperture design must match the 0.3 mm × 0.7 mm pad layout.
