Product details
Overview
BZX884S-C15-QYL from Nexperia is a 15 V ±5 % tolerance Zener diode in an ultra-small DFN1006BD-2 (SOD882BD) leadless SMD package with side-wettable flanks, designed for precision voltage regulation and reference functions in space-constrained automotive and industrial circuits. It delivers 15.0 V nominal Zener voltage at 5 mA, 365 mW total power dissipation on FR4 PCB, and operates across −55 °C to +150 °C ambient range.
For engineers reviewing the BZX884S-C15-QYL datasheet, BZX884S-C15-QYL pinout, BZX884S-C15-QYL application, or BZX884S-C15-QYL equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, 75 Ω typical differential resistance at 5 mA, −2.0 mV/K temperature coefficient, and compatibility with reflow-only soldering on standard DFN footprints.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable 15 V regulation under varying load and temperature conditions. Its design incorporates low thermal resistance (340 K/W junction-to-ambient) and side-wettable flanks for automated optical inspection of solder joints.
The device exhibits a typical reverse current of ≤0.05 μA at 11.4 V and ≤0.1 μA at 12.4 V, enabling low-power biasing and sensing applications. Its 120 pF capacitance at 1 MHz and 0 V reverse bias supports stable performance in noise-sensitive analog references.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 15.0 V nominal at IZ = 5 mA; actual range 13.8 V to 15.6 V per ±5 % tolerance |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | 50 Ω typical at IZ = 5 mA; ensures minimal output voltage shift under load variation |
| Temperature Coefficient (SZ) | −2.0 mV/K typical at IZ = 5 mA; enables predictable drift compensation in wide-temp designs |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | ≤0.9 V at IF = 10 mA; supports reliable forward-bias checking during test |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 365 mW on FR4 PCB with 70 μm copper; defines maximum continuous regulation power in standard layout |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 150 °C maximum; sets upper thermal limit for sustained operation in under-hood or enclosed environments |
| Package Dimensions | 1.0 mm × 0.6 mm × 0.47 mm body; enables high-density placement in compact PCBs |
Pinout & Package
DFN1006BD-2 (SOD882BD) is a 2-terminal leadless plastic package with side-wettable flanks, 0.65 mm pitch, and cathode indicated by a marking bar on the top surface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (K) | Connected to regulated output node; polarity marker determines correct orientation during placement |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; forms reverse-biased junction for Zener operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical shock |
| Side-wettable flanks | Enables automated optical inspection (AOI) of solder joint quality without X-ray |
| Ultra-small footprint | 0.6 mm² board area saves space in battery management, ADAS sensor modules, and infotainment power rails |
| Two tolerance options | ±2 % (B-series) and ±5 % (C-series); C15-QYL provides cost-optimized regulation where tight tolerance is not critical |
| Wide operating temperature | −55 °C to +150 °C ambient range supports under-hood, engine control, and industrial motor drive applications |
Applications
| Automotive ECU Power Rail Clamping | Industrial Sensor Reference Voltage |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Clamp transient overvoltage on 12 V supply lines in engine control units exposed to load dump events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener diode acting as shunt regulator to divert excess current and hold rail voltage near 15 V.

Use Scenario: Provide stable 15 V reference for 16-bit ADCs measuring pressure or temperature in factory automation sensors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision voltage reference source with low tempco and low noise for analog front-end biasing. Use Value: Enables <±0.1 % full-scale measurement accuracy over −40 °C to +85 °C due to −2.0 mV/K drift and 50 Ω rdif. |
| Portable Medical Device Battery Monitoring | Smart Lighting LED Driver Feedback |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX884S-B15-Q | ±2 % tolerance (14.7–15.3 V) vs. ±5 % (13.8–15.6 V); 50 Ω rdif same; identical package and thermal specs | Required where tighter regulation is needed for high-accuracy feedback loops or precision references | Select B15-Q when system-level voltage error budget demands <±0.3 V deviation at 25 °C |
| MMSZ5245B-TP | 15 V ±5 %, SOD-123 package (2.7 × 1.4 mm), 500 mW Ptot, 17 Ω rdif, no AEC-Q101 qualification | Suitable for non-automotive consumer or industrial use where larger footprint and higher power are acceptable | Choose MMSZ5245B-TP only for cost-sensitive, non-automotive designs needing lower dynamic impedance |
Compared with BZX884S-C15-QYL, the B15-Q offers tighter tolerance at identical size and qualification, while MMSZ5245B-TP trades AEC-Q101 compliance and miniaturization for lower impedance and higher power-making it unsuitable for automotive but viable for legacy industrial PCBs.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse current specification for BZX884S-C15-QYL at 12.4 V?
At 12.4 V reverse bias and Tj = 25 °C, the maximum reverse current is 0.1 μA. This low leakage enables accurate voltage division in high-impedance sensor bias networks and minimizes quiescent power loss in always-on monitoring circuits.
Can BZX884S-C15-QYL be used in reflow-only assembly processes?
Yes-BZX884S-C15-QYL is qualified exclusively for reflow soldering per its SOD882BD package specification. Its side-wettable flanks support automated optical inspection, and the recommended footprint (1.0 mm pad length, 0.6 mm width) ensures reliable joint formation without wave or hand-soldering.
How does the −2.0 mV/K temperature coefficient impact regulation stability over temperature?
The −2.0 mV/K coefficient means output voltage decreases by ~0.3 V across a 150 °C junction range (25 °C to 175 °C). In practice, this drift is predictable and compensatable in closed-loop systems; for open-loop references, it limits accuracy to ±0.45 V over full Tj range.
Is the 365 mW power rating valid for continuous DC operation on standard FR4?
Yes-the 365 mW rating applies to continuous DC dissipation when mounted on a single-sided FR4 PCB with 70 μm copper and standard SOD882BD footprint. Derating is required above 25 °C ambient; at 85 °C, maximum usable power drops to ~220 mW based on Rth(j-a) = 340 K/W.
