BZB84-C16,215

Overview

The Nexperia BZB84-C16,215 is a dual Zener diode in a SOT-23 (TO-236AB) surface-mount package. It features a dual common anode configuration with two independent cathodes. The nominal Zener voltage is 16 V with a ±5% tolerance. Total power dissipation is 300 mW per device. Key electrical parameters include a maximum reverse current of 40 μA at IZ=1 mA and a temperature coefficient ranging from 10.4 to 14.0 mV/K at IZ=5 mA. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -55 °C to +150 °C.

Feature Summary

• Dual common anode configuration for compact circuit design
• Automotive qualification compliant with AEC-Q101 standards
• Small plastic SMD package suitable for high-density mounting

Applications

• General regulation functions

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '215' against the manufacturer's latest documentation to confirm packaging details and manufacturing origin. Ensure the ordering code matches the required tolerance series 'C' for ±5% voltage accuracy. Cross-reference the marking code 'PB' on the physical component to validate authenticity and correct type identification before integration into production.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual Zener solution with a common anode is required in a small footprint. The ±5% tolerance makes it suitable for general-purpose applications where tight voltage precision is not critical. Verify that the 300 mW total power dissipation meets the thermal requirements of the target PCB layout and ambient operating conditions.

Part Context

This part belongs to the BZB84 series of dual Zener diodes manufactured by Nexperia. The series offers various nominal voltages from 2.4 V to 75 V in both ±2% (B series) and ±5% (C series) tolerances. All variants share the same SOT-23 package and dual common anode pinout, allowing for flexible design choices based on voltage and precision requirements.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the SOT-23 package, dual common anode configuration, and 16 V nominal voltage. Other manufacturers offering dual Zeners in SOT-23 may require verification of pinout compatibility and thermal resistance characteristics to ensure equivalent performance in the existing circuit design.
