Product details
Overview
BZX884-C3V6,315 from Nexperia is a ±5% tolerance Zener diode in SOD882 (DFN1006-2) package, rated for 3.6 V nominal Zener voltage at 5 mA, 250 mW total power dissipation, and 390 pF capacitance at 1 MHz with 0 V reverse bias. It serves as a precision voltage reference or low-power regulation element in compact DC-DC feedback paths and ESD protection clamps.
For engineers reviewing the BZX884-C3V6,315 datasheet, BZX884-C3V6,315 pinout, BZX884-C3V6,315 application, or BZX884-C3V6,315 equivalent, this page delivers verified Zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance, reverse leakage at 1 V, differential resistance, and AEC-Q101 qualification status - all critical for automotive sensor biasing and portable power rail stabilization.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown with a nominal 3.6 V regulation point at IZ = 5 mA, exhibiting a temperature coefficient of −1.9 mV/K and differential resistance of 375 Ω (typ.) at 1 mA test current. Its ultra-small DFN1006-2 footprint enables high-density placement on space-constrained PCBs.
Designed for surface-mount assembly only, it supports reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020 and achieves 500 K/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on FR4 with standard copper footprint. The cathode is marked by a visible bar on the top surface.
Key Specifications

| Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 250 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling on standard FR4 |
| Differential Resistance (rdiff) | 375 Ω (typ.) at IZtest = 1 mA - determines output impedance and load regulation sensitivity |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 5 µA max at VR = 1 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in standby bias networks |
| Capacitance (Cd) | 390 pF at f = 1 MHz, VR = 0 V - impacts high-frequency noise filtering and ESD clamp response speed |
| Temperature Coefficient (SZ) | −1.9 mV/K at IZ = 5 mA - quantifies voltage drift over operating temperature range |
| Package | SOD882 (DFN1006-2), 1.0 × 0.6 × 0.5 mm - enables 0201-class board area usage with leadless reliability |

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse current at 1 V for BZX884-C3V6,315?
The maximum reverse current (IR) is 5 µA at VR = 1 V and Tj = 25 °C, as specified in Table 7 of the Nexperia datasheet Rev. 5. This value ensures minimal loading on low-power bias networks and supports accurate voltage reference performance in battery-operated systems.
Is BZX884-C3V6,315 suitable for reflow soldering?
Yes - BZX884-C3V6,315 is qualified for lead-free reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020. The recommended profile uses peak temperatures up to 260 °C for ≤30 seconds, with preheat ramp rates ≤3 °C/s. Reflow is the only recommended soldering method; wave or hand soldering is not supported.
How does the −1.9 mV/K temperature coefficient affect circuit design?
A −1.9 mV/K coefficient means the Zener voltage decreases by ~0.19 V over a 100 K rise (e.g., −40 °C to +60 °C). Designers must account for this drift in precision references; for example, a 3.6 V nominal output shifts to ~3.41 V at +60 °C, impacting ADC reference accuracy unless compensated.
Can BZX884-C3V6,315 replace BZX84-C3V6 in existing designs?
No - BZX84-C3V6 uses SOT-23 packaging (3.0 × 1.4 × 1.1 mm), while BZX884-C3V6,315 uses SOD882 (1.0 × 0.6 × 0.5 mm). The footprint, thermal behavior (Rth(j-a) = 500 K/W vs. ~300 K/W), and soldering profile differ significantly; direct replacement requires PCB redesign and requalification.
