Product details
Overview
BZX884S-C16-QYL from Nexperia is a 16 V ±5 % tolerance Zener diode in a leadless DFN1006BD-2 (SOD882BD) package, designed for precision voltage regulation and reference functions in space-constrained automotive and industrial circuits. It delivers 365 mW total power dissipation at 25 °C, exhibits 11.2 mV/K temperature coefficient at IZ = 5 mA, and maintains <0.05 μA reverse current at VR = 12.8 V.
For engineers reviewing the BZX884S-C16-QYL datasheet, BZX884S-C16-QYL pinout, BZX884S-C16-QYL application, or BZX884S-C16-QYL equivalent, this page provides verified Zener voltage, thermal resistance, differential resistance, side-wettable flank solderability, and AEC-Q101 qualification status - all critical for automotive-grade board-level reliability validation and compact regulator design.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable 16 V regulation across load and line variations. Its 50 Ω typical differential resistance at IZ = 5 mA ensures low dynamic impedance for noise suppression in feedback paths, while the 11.2 mV/K temperature coefficient enables predictable drift behavior in ambient ranges from −55 °C to +150 °C.
The DFN1006BD-2 package features side-wettable flanks for automated optical inspection (AOI) of solder joints, and its 1.0 mm × 0.6 mm footprint supports high-density PCB layouts. Thermal resistance from junction to ambient is 340 K/W on standard FR4, limiting maximum steady-state power to ~1.07 mW at Tj = 150 °C under natural convection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener voltage VZ | 15.3 V to 17.1 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines nominal regulation point with ±5 % tolerance band for robust supply rail clamping |
| Differential resistance rdif | 50 Ω typ. at IZ = 5 mA - determines output impedance and ripple rejection capability in shunt regulator configurations |
| Temperature coefficient SZ | 11.2 mV/K at IZ = 5 mA - quantifies voltage drift per degree Celsius, enabling thermal error budgeting in precision references |
| Total power dissipation Ptot | 365 mW at Tamb = 25 °C on FR4 - sets maximum continuous DC or pulsed power handling before thermal derating applies |
| Reverse current IR | <0.05 μA at VR = 12.8 V - ensures minimal leakage in high-impedance bias networks and standby circuits |
| Forward voltage VF | ≤0.9 V at IF = 10 mA - guarantees low conduction loss when used in forward-biased protection or clamp roles |
| Junction temperature Tj | −55 °C to +150 °C - supports operation in under-hood automotive environments and industrial control enclosures |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX884S-B16-Q | ±2 % tolerance (15.7 V–16.3 V), 50 Ω rdif, 10.4 mV/K SZ | Narrower voltage band improves ADC reference accuracy but increases cost and reduces availability | Select for metrology-grade references where ±0.32 V variation is unacceptable |
| MMSZ4687T1G | 16 V ±5 %, SOD-123 package (2.7 mm × 1.4 mm), 500 mW Ptot, 150 °C Tj | Larger footprint and higher power rating suit non-space-constrained industrial boards with thermal mass | Choose when board rework accessibility or legacy footprint compatibility outweighs miniaturization needs |
Compared with BZX884S-C16-QYL, the BZX884S-B16-Q offers tighter regulation at higher cost and reduced supply chain flexibility, while the MMSZ4687T1G trades miniaturization for easier hand-soldering and higher thermal margin - making the C16-QYL optimal for AEC-Q101-compliant, high-density automotive PCBs.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current the BZX884S-C16-QYL can sustain without degradation?
The device is rated for up to 200 mA forward current, but in reverse (Zener) operation, sustained current is limited by thermal constraints. At 25 °C ambient on standard FR4, 365 mW power dissipation allows ~22.8 mA average Zener current (16 V × 22.8 mA ≈ 365 mW). Exceeding this requires derating per the 340 K/W thermal resistance curve to avoid exceeding 150 °C junction temperature.
How does the side-wettable flank feature impact reflow soldering process control?
Side-wettable flanks enable automated optical inspection (AOI) of solder fillet formation on both lateral edges of the DFN1006BD-2 package. This allows real-time detection of insufficient solder, bridging, or tombstoning during high-speed SMT lines, improving first-pass yield without requiring X-ray inspection - critical for automotive Tier-1 manufacturing compliance.
Can the BZX884S-C16-QYL be used in series or parallel configurations for higher voltage or current handling?
Series connection is not recommended due to mismatched Zener voltages and temperature coefficients causing uneven voltage division and thermal runaway. Parallel use is also discouraged because minor parameter variations lead to current hogging in one device. For higher power, use a single higher-rated Zener or add an external series transistor; for higher voltage, select the BZX884S-C18-Q (18 V) or BZX884S-C20-Q (20 V) variant.
What is the significance of the 'QYL' suffix in the part number BZX884S-C16-QYL?
The 'QYL' suffix denotes Nexperia's tape-and-reel packaging option with 10,000 units per reel, optimized for high-volume SMT placement equipment. It specifies moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1, dry pack with desiccant, and complies with J-STD-033 handling requirements - confirming suitability for immediate placement without baking, unlike MSL 3 or higher variants.
