Product details
Overview
BZX884S-C3V9-QYL from Nexperia is a Zener voltage regulator diode in the BZX884S-Q series, designed for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in compact automotive and industrial circuits. It delivers a nominal 3.9 V Zener voltage with ±5 % tolerance, 400 Ω typical differential resistance at 5 mA, and operates up to 150 °C junction temperature in the DFN1006BD-2 (SOD882BD) package.
For engineers reviewing the BZX884S-C3V9-QYL datasheet, BZX884S-C3V9-QYL pinout, BZX884S-C3V9-QYL application, or BZX884S-C3V9-QYL equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, side-wettable flanks for automated optical inspection, low 3 μA reverse current at 1 V, and thermal resistance of 340 K/W on standard FR4 PCB.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable voltage under varying load and temperature conditions. Its temperature coefficient of −3.5 mV/K at 5 mA enables predictable drift compensation in bias networks and reference circuits.
The device uses silicon planar epitaxial construction with cathode-anode polarity defined by a marking bar on the top surface. Its ultra-small 1.0 mm × 0.6 mm footprint and side-wettable flanks support high-density reflow-soldered layouts compliant with automotive IPC-A-610 Class 3 requirements.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 3.7 V to 4.1 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines regulation window for 3.9 V nominal reference |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | 400 Ω typ. at IZ = 5 mA - determines output impedance and load regulation error |
| Reverse Current (IR) | 3 μA max. at VR = 1 V - ensures low leakage in standby power rails |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 0.9 V max. at IF = 10 mA - supports use as clamping diode in bidirectional protection |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 365 mW on FR4 PCB - sets maximum continuous Zener current to ~94 mA at 3.9 V |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | −55 °C to +150 °C - enables operation in under-hood automotive environments |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes - validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling and HTRB |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX884S-B3V9-Q | Nominal 3.9 V with ±2 % tolerance (vs. ±5 %); 375 Ω rdif at 5 mA | Higher precision required in feedback loops of isolated DC-DC converters | Select when tighter regulation stability outweighs cost premium and leakage increase |
| MMSZ4685T1G | 3.9 V ±5 %, but SOD-123 package (2.7 mm × 1.6 mm); 600 Ω rdif; not AEC-Q101 qualified | Suitable for non-automotive consumer power supplies with less stringent size constraints | Choose only for legacy board redesigns where footprint compatibility is mandatory |
Compared with BZX884S-C3V9-QYL, the BZX884S-B3V9-Q offers tighter tolerance and lower impedance but higher cost and identical automotive qualification, while MMSZ4685T1G sacrifices qualification and performance for legacy package compatibility.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous Zener current for BZX884S-C3V9-QYL?
The maximum continuous Zener current is approximately 94 mA, calculated from Ptot = 365 mW and VZ = 3.9 V. This assumes operation at 25 °C ambient on a standard FR4 PCB with single-sided 70 μm copper; derating is required above 25 °C per the 340 K/W thermal resistance.
How does the side-wettable flank design benefit manufacturing?
Side-wettable flanks enable automated optical inspection (AOI) of solder joint quality without X-ray imaging, directly supporting IPC-A-610 Class 3 compliance for automotive production. The exposed metal sidewalls reflect light consistently, allowing vision systems to verify fillet formation and coplanarity on both terminals.
Is BZX884S-C3V9-QYL suitable for bidirectional ESD protection?
No - it is a unidirectional Zener diode optimized for reverse-bias regulation. For bidirectional ESD protection, a dedicated TVS diode such as PESD5V0S1BA should be used. Its forward conduction at 0.9 V is incidental, not characterized for surge handling in forward direction.
What is the significance of the 'C' in the part number BZX884S-C3V9-QYL?
The 'C' denotes the ±5 % Zener voltage tolerance grade, distinguishing it from 'B' grade (±2 %). This is confirmed in Table 4 of the datasheet, where BZX884S-C3V9-Q is marked as '4U', and the 'C' prefix consistently correlates with wider-tolerance variants across the full 2.4 V–75 V range.
