Product details
Overview
BZX884-B18,315 from Nexperia is a ±2 % tolerance Zener diode optimized for precision voltage regulation and ESD protection in ultra-compact SOD882 (DFN1006-2) surface-mount packages. It delivers a nominal 18 V Zener voltage at 5 mA test current, 50 Ω typical differential resistance, and 14.4 mV/K temperature coefficient - enabling stable reference performance in space-constrained power rails and I/O protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZX884-B18,315 datasheet, BZX884-B18,315 pinout, BZX884-B18,315 application, or BZX884-B18,315 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, dynamic impedance at operating current, thermal coefficient behavior across temperature, and SOD882 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain a stable 17.64–18.36 V output across 1–10 mA bias currents, with low 50 Ω typical differential resistance ensuring minimal voltage shift under load variation. Its AEC-Q101 qualification confirms suitability for automotive-grade transient suppression and reference functions.
The device exhibits a +14.4 mV/K temperature coefficient at 5 mA, indicating predictable positive drift with junction temperature - critical for compensating thermal effects in analog sensing and feedback loops. Reverse leakage remains ≤1.5 nA at 12.6 V (0.7 × VZnom) and ≤100 nA at 15.3 V, supporting low-power standby integrity.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 17.64 V to 18.36 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines tight ±2 % regulation window for precision reference use |
| Differential Resistance (rdiff) | 50 Ω typical at IZ = 5 mA - ensures <100 mV output shift over ±2 mA load change |
| Temperature Coefficient (SZ) | +14.4 mV/K at IZ = 5 mA - enables predictable thermal compensation in voltage references |

| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤100 nA at VR = 15.3 V - guarantees negligible quiescent current in high-impedance bias networks |
| Package | SOD882 (DFN1006-2), 1.0 × 0.6 × 0.5 mm - enables 0201-class board area usage with solderable side terminals |

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse current the BZX884-B18,315 can handle in surge conditions?
The BZX884-B18,315 supports a non-repetitive peak reverse current (IZSM) of 1.5 A for 100 µs pulses at 25 °C ambient, as defined in Table 5 of the datasheet. This rating assumes proper PCB thermal design per SOD882 mounting guidelines and is validated for single-event ESD clamping, not continuous operation.
How does the +14.4 mV/K temperature coefficient affect long-term voltage stability?
The +14.4 mV/K coefficient means the Zener voltage increases by ~14.4 mV per degree Celsius rise in junction temperature at 5 mA. Over a −40 °C to +125 °C range, this results in a total shift of ~2.36 V - a known, linear effect that can be compensated in system-level calibration or used intentionally in temperature-sensing circuits.
Is the SOD882 package compatible with standard reflow soldering profiles?
Yes - Nexperia specifies reflow soldering as the only recommended method for SOD882. The device complies with JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 and supports peak temperatures up to 260 °C. Figure 12 provides the exact solder paste stencil and land pattern dimensions for reliable attachment.
Can BZX884-B18,315 replace older Zener diodes like 1N4746A in existing designs?
Direct replacement requires verification of package compatibility (SOD882 vs. DO-41), thermal derating (250 mW vs. 1 W), and circuit impedance. While electrical parameters align closely, the smaller SOD882 footprint and lower power rating mean board layout and power dissipation must be re-evaluated before substitution.
