Product details
Overview
PZU884LS-C36-Q from Nexperia is a precision Zener voltage regulator diode in the ultra-small DFN1006BD-2 (SOD882BD) package, designed for stable voltage reference and clamping in space-constrained automotive and industrial circuits. It delivers a nominal 36 V Zener voltage with ±5 % tolerance, 300 Ω differential resistance at 5 mA, and 27 mV/K temperature coefficient - enabling accurate regulation under varying thermal conditions in power supply feedback paths and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the PZU884LS-C36-Q datasheet, PZU884LS-C36-Q pinout, PZU884LS-C36-Q application, or PZU884LS-C36-Q equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, side-wettable flanks for automated optical inspection, low leakage current (<0.05 μA at VR = 30 V), and 365 mW steady-state power dissipation on standard FR4 PCBs.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain a stable reference voltage across its cathode–anode terminals. Its hard breakdown knee and low dynamic impedance at 5 mA ensure tight regulation during transient load shifts in feedback networks.
The device is optimized for automotive-grade reliability: junction temperature range spans −55 °C to +150 °C, and it meets AEC-Q101 stress test requirements for discrete semiconductors. Its 0.65 mm pitch and side-wettable flanks support high-yield reflow soldering and AOI verification in compact SMT layouts.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 34.0 V to 38.0 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines precise clamping threshold for overvoltage protection and reference stability |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | 300 Ω max at IZ = 5 mA - ensures minimal voltage shift under load current variation in regulation circuits |
| Temperature Coefficient (SZ) | +27 mV/K typical - quantifies voltage drift per degree Celsius, critical for thermal compensation design |
| Reverse Current (IR) | <0.05 μA at VR = 30 V - enables ultra-low standby power loss in battery-backed or always-on systems |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 365 mW on FR4 PCB with 70 μm copper - sets maximum continuous DC power handling without heatsinking |
| Non-repetitive Peak Power (PZSM) | 40 W for 100 μs square wave - supports transient surge suppression in ESD or load-dump scenarios |
| Junction-to-Ambient Rth(j-a) | 340 K/W - determines thermal rise per watt, guiding layout decisions for thermal relief and copper area |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C36,115 | Same 36 V nominal Zener voltage, ±5 % tolerance, but SOT23 package (larger, no side-wettable flanks) | Lacks AEC-Q101 qualification and has higher thermal resistance (450 K/W vs. 340 K/W) | Select when board-level AOI is not required and PCB real estate permits larger footprint |
| MMSZ5245B-TP | 36 V Zener, ±5 %, SOD-123 package; 500 mW Ptot, but no AEC-Q101 rating | Higher power rating but unqualified for automotive use; leakage >1 μA at 30 V | Acceptable for industrial prototypes where qualification is deferred, but not for production automotive designs |
Compared with BZX84-C36,115 and MMSZ5245B-TP, the PZU884LS-C36-Q uniquely combines AEC-Q101 compliance, side-wettable flanks for process control, and ultra-compact DFN1006BD-2 packaging - making it the only option qualified for volume automotive deployment in space-constrained modules.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current the PZU884LS-C36-Q can sustain without degradation?
The device is rated for a maximum forward current of 200 mA, but as a Zener diode operating in reverse breakdown, its continuous reverse current is governed by power dissipation limits. At 25 °C ambient on a standard FR4 PCB, it sustains up to 10.1 mA continuously (365 mW ÷ 36 V) before exceeding its 365 mW Ptot rating. Derating is required above 25 °C per the 340 K/W thermal resistance.
How does the side-wettable flank feature improve manufacturing yield?
The side-wettable flanks on the DFN1006BD-2 package allow automated optical inspection (AOI) systems to verify solder fillet formation along the vertical sidewall - a capability impossible with conventional bottom-only terminations. This eliminates reliance on X-ray for solder joint validation, reducing test cost and cycle time while catching bridging, insufficient solder, or tombstoning defects early in SMT lines.
Is the PZU884LS-C36-Q suitable for use in a 48 V mild-hybrid automotive system?
Yes - its 36 V nominal Zener voltage provides headroom below the 48 V nominal rail's worst-case transient peaks (e.g., ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a up to 60 V). Combined with AEC-Q101 qualification, 150 °C junction rating, and 40 W non-repetitive surge capability, it is explicitly designed for such applications, including gate driver clamp circuits and MCU supply rail protection in 48 V architectures.
What is the significance of the "C" suffix in PZU884LS-C36-Q?
The "C" denotes the ±5 % tolerance grade within the PZU884LS-Q series. It distinguishes this variant from the tighter ±2 % "B" grade (e.g., PZU884LS-B36-Q). The "C" grade offers optimized cost-performance balance for applications where 5 % regulation accuracy suffices - such as non-critical clamping, coarse reference generation, or redundancy in multi-diode protection schemes.
