Product details
Overview
PDZ8.2BZ from Nexperia is a single silicon Zener diode designed for low-power voltage regulation in surface-mounted applications, with a nominal Zener voltage of 8.2 V at 5 mA, ±2 % tolerance, 60 Ω maximum differential resistance at 5 mA, 0.5 μA maximum reverse current at 6.6 V, and 400 mW total power dissipation on FR4 PCB. It operates in general-purpose regulator circuits requiring stable reference voltages in space-constrained consumer and industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the PDZ8.2BZ datasheet, PDZ8.2BZ pinout, PDZ8.2BZ application, or PDZ8.2BZ equivalent, this device is selected for precision low-current voltage clamping, biasing, and overvoltage protection where SOD323 footprint, hard breakdown knee, and low leakage (<0.5 μA) are critical design requirements.
Technical Context
This Zener diode functions as a two-terminal voltage reference by operating in reverse breakdown mode, maintaining a stable 8.02–8.36 V working voltage across its cathode–anode terminals when reverse-biased at IZ = 5 mA. Its hard breakdown knee ensures predictable turn-on behavior with minimal voltage hysteresis under transient load conditions.
Thermal performance is defined by Rth(j-sp) = 130 K/W (junction-to-solder point) and Rth(j-a) = 340 K/W (junction-to-ambient), enabling reliable operation up to +150 °C junction temperature. The device exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +4.6 mV/K at IZ = 5 mA, supporting stable regulation across moderate ambient temperature ranges.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 8.02–8.36 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines precise clamping threshold for 8.2 V nominal regulation |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | ≤60 Ω at IZ = 5 mA - ensures minimal output voltage shift under small load current variations |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤0.5 μA at VR = 6.6 V - guarantees low standby power loss in high-impedance bias networks |
| Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 400 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C on FR4 PCB - sets maximum continuous DC or pulsed power handling capability |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | ≤0.9 V at IF = 10 mA - enables use as low-drop rectifier or polarity protection diode if forward-biased |
| Temperature Coefficient (SZ) | +4.6 mV/K at IZ = 5 mA - quantifies voltage drift per degree Celsius for thermal stability analysis |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | −65 to +150 °C - specifies operational and storage limits for reliability-critical embedded environments |
Pinout & Package
PDZ8.2BZ is housed in a SOD323 (SC-76) plastic surface-mount package measuring 1.8 × 1.35 × 0.95 mm, with a cathode-marking bar on the top surface. The package supports reflow and wave soldering using standardized footprints per Nexperia's recommended land patterns.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Marked side) | Cathode (K) | Connected to regulated output node; reverse-bias terminal where Zener breakdown occurs |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; completes reverse-bias path for regulation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hard breakdown knee | Enables sharp, repeatable turn-on without soft saturation-critical for accurate voltage clamping in feedback loops |
| Low dynamic impedance | 60 Ω max at 5 mA ensures <10 mV output variation for ±1 mA load current changes in reference circuits |
| Very low leakage current | 0.5 μA max at 6.6 V minimizes error in high-resistance divider networks and battery-powered bias rails |
| SOD323 footprint compatibility | Standardized 1.8 × 1.35 mm outline allows automated placement and reflow without custom stencil adaptation |
| ±2 % voltage tolerance | Reduces need for post-assembly trimming in cost-sensitive consumer power management designs |
Applications
| USB Port Overvoltage Protection | Microcontroller Reset Circuit |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Clamps input voltage to 8.2 V during ESD or surge events on 5 V USB lines interfacing with legacy peripherals.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C8V2 | Same 8.2 V nominal, but ±5 % tolerance and higher rdif (90 Ω); SOT23 package (larger footprint) | Acceptable where tighter voltage accuracy is not required and board space permits SOT23 | Select when cost priority outweighs regulation precision and miniaturization needs |
| MMSZ4687 | 8.2 V nominal, ±5 % tolerance, 100 Ω rdif, 500 mW Ptot; SOD123 package (0.1 mm taller) | Higher power rating suits higher-current shunt applications but lacks PDZ8.2BZ's low-leakage performance | Prefer when >400 mW dissipation is needed and leakage >1 μA is acceptable |
Compared with BZX84-C8V2 and MMSZ4687, PDZ8.2BZ offers superior voltage accuracy (±2 % vs. ±5 %), lower dynamic impedance (60 Ω vs. ≥90 Ω), and significantly lower leakage (0.5 μA vs. ≥1 μA), making it optimal for precision low-power regulation where SOD323 size is mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse current specification for PDZ8.2BZ at its rated Zener voltage?
The maximum reverse current (IR) for PDZ8.2BZ is 0.5 μA at VR = 6.6 V, measured at Tj = 25 °C. This value reflects the device's low-leakage performance, critical for high-impedance bias networks and battery-operated systems where standby current must be minimized.
Can PDZ8.2BZ be used in forward conduction mode, and what is its typical forward voltage?
Yes, PDZ8.2BZ can operate in forward conduction mode with a maximum forward voltage of 0.9 V at IF = 10 mA and 1.1 V at IF = 100 mA. This characteristic supports dual-use applications such as polarity protection or low-drop rectification alongside its primary Zener regulation function.
How does the temperature coefficient of PDZ8.2BZ affect its regulation accuracy over temperature?
PDZ8.2BZ has a temperature coefficient of +4.6 mV/K at IZ = 5 mA, meaning its Zener voltage increases by approximately 4.6 mV per degree Celsius rise in junction temperature. This positive TC enables predictable, linear drift-allowing compensation in precision references where thermal gradients are known and controlled.
Is PDZ8.2BZ suitable for automotive applications, and what qualification status does it hold?
No, PDZ8.2BZ is not automotive-qualified. Nexperia explicitly states that unless otherwise indicated in the datasheet, PDZ-B series devices are non-automotive qualified and are neither tested nor warranted for use in safety-critical, life-support, or automotive systems per AEC-Q101 or ISO/TS 16949 requirements.
