Product details
Overview
BZX884S-B20-QYL from Nexperia is a ±2 % tolerance Zener diode in SOD882BD (DFN1006BD-2) package, rated for 20 V nominal breakdown voltage at IZ = 5 mA, with 365 mW total power dissipation and qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive voltage regulation and reference applications.
For engineers reviewing the BZX884S-B20-QYL datasheet, BZX884S-B20-QYL pinout, BZX884S-B20-QYL application, or BZX884S-B20-QYL equivalent, this page delivers verified Zener parameters, side-wettable flank package details, cathode/anode terminal mapping, automotive-grade thermal limits, and direct alternative comparisons - all grounded in Nexperia's Rev. 2 May 2021 product data sheet.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference diode, conducting in reverse bias above its specified Zener voltage (19.6–20.4 V at 5 mA), with differential resistance of 60 Ω (typ.) and temperature coefficient of +14.0 mV/K (typ.) enabling stable regulation across −55 °C to +150 °C ambient.
Designed for surface-mount use on FR4 PCBs with single-sided 70 μm copper, it delivers 0.9 V forward voltage at 10 mA and supports peak forward current up to 200 mA, while its 340 K/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance reflects its ultra-small 1.0 mm × 0.6 mm × 0.47 mm footprint.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 19.6 V to 20.4 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines precise regulation point for low-power reference circuits |
| Tolerance | ±2 % - enables tighter voltage margin control than ±5 % variants in precision feedback paths |
| Differential Resistance rdif | 60 Ω (typ.) at IZ = 5 mA - determines output impedance and load regulation sensitivity |
| Power Dissipation Ptot | 365 mW on FR4 PCB - sets maximum continuous DC or pulsed power handling under standard layout |
| Reverse Current IR | ≤0.05 μA at VR = 15 V - ensures minimal leakage in high-impedance bias networks |
| Junction Temperature Tj | −55 °C to +150 °C - supports operation in under-hood automotive environments |
| Package | SOD882BD (DFN1006BD-2) - 0.65 mm pitch, side-wettable flanks for automated optical solder-joint inspection |
Pinout & Package
SOD882BD is a 2-terminal leadless DFN package measuring 1.0 mm × 0.6 mm × 0.47 mm with side-wettable flanks for reliable reflow soldering and AOI compatibility. The marking bar identifies the cathode end.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (K) | Connected to regulated output node; reverse-biased terminal where Zener breakdown occurs |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; forward conduction path during transient clamping |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive electronics including body control modules and sensor interfaces |
| Side-wettable flanks | Enables automated optical inspection (AOI) of solder joints without X-ray, reducing manufacturing defect escape |
| Ultra-small footprint | 1.0 mm × 0.6 mm area saves board space in compact power management and ESD protection layouts |
| Two tolerance options | ±2 % (B-series) and ~±5 % (C-series) allow cost/performance trade-off in voltage reference selection |
| Wide voltage range | 2.4 V to 75 V coverage across 37 discrete values supports diverse supply rail stabilization needs |
Applications
| Automotive Sensor Reference | Low-Power MCU Voltage Monitor |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX884S-C20-Q | ~±5 % tolerance (18.8–21.2 V), higher max IR (0.05 μA vs. B-series' 0.05 μA same), identical package and Ptot | Acceptable where tighter regulation not required; lower cost in non-critical bias networks | Select for cost-sensitive industrial controls where ±5 % VZ margin is sufficient |
| MMSZ5244B-TP | 20 V ±5 %, SOD-123 package (2.7 mm × 1.6 mm), 500 mW Ptot, no AEC-Q101 qualification | Larger footprint, higher power, but lacks automotive qualification and side-wettable flanks | Choose only for non-automotive designs needing higher power or legacy SOD-123 compatibility |
Compared with BZX884S-B20-QYL, the C20-Q offers relaxed tolerance at identical size and qualification, while MMSZ5244B-TP trades automotive compliance and miniaturization for higher power and legacy package familiarity - making the B-series optimal for space-constrained, AEC-Q101–mandated applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage before breakdown for BZX884S-B20-QYL?
The nominal Zener voltage is 20 V with a guaranteed range of 19.6 V to 20.4 V at 5 mA test current. Below 15 V reverse bias, leakage remains ≤0.05 μA; breakdown is sharp and repeatable within this specification window per Nexperia's Rev. 2 datasheet.
Can BZX884S-B20-QYL be used in place of a 1N4744A?
No - the 1N4744A is a 14 W through-hole Zener in DO-41 package with 14 V rating and ±5 % tolerance. BZX884S-B20-QYL is a 20 V, ±2 %, 365 mW, AEC-Q101–qualified SMD device in DFN1006BD-2. They differ in voltage, power, package, qualification, and tolerance - direct substitution is not electrically or mechanically viable.
Does BZX884S-B20-QYL require a heatsink in standard FR4 layouts?
No - its 365 mW power rating is specified for operation on a standard FR4 PCB with single-sided 70 μm copper and tin plating. With Rth(j-a) = 340 K/W, junction temperature stays within 150 °C limit at full power under 25 °C ambient, eliminating need for external heatsinking in typical applications.
How is polarity identified on the BZX884S-B20-QYL package?
A laser-marked bar on the top surface indicates the cathode (Pin 1); Pin 2 is the anode. This marking aligns with the simplified outline in Table 2 of the datasheet and is visible under standard optical inspection, supporting automated placement and AOI verification.
