BZX384-C6V8,115

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Nexperia BZX384-C6V8,115 is a low-power voltage regulator diode housed in an SOD323 (SC-76) surface-mounted package. It features a nominal Zener voltage of 6.8 V with a tolerance range of 6.40 V to 7.20 V. The device supports a total power dissipation of up to 300 mW and operates within a temperature range of -65 °C to +150 °C. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum differential resistance of 80 Ω at IZ = 5 mA, a reverse current of 15 μA at VR = 6.8 V, and a typical temperature coefficient of 1.2 mV/K.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Provides stable voltage regulation within the E24 series working voltage range from 2.4 V to 75 V.
• Utilizes a compact SOD323 plastic surface-mounted package for efficient PCB space utilization.
• Offers high non-repetitive peak reverse power dissipation capability for transient protection scenarios.

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• General voltage regulation functions
• Reference voltage generation in electronic circuits
• Overvoltage protection for sensitive components

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number matches the required C-series tolerance and SOD323 package configuration. Confirm that the application environment remains within the specified junction and ambient temperature limits to ensure reliable operation. Check for any updated datasheet revisions or automotive qualification requirements if the design demands higher reliability standards than standard industrial grade.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 6.8 V reference is needed in a small footprint. The C-series offers approximately ±5% tolerance, suitable for general-purpose applications where tight precision is not critical. Ensure the circuit design accounts for the thermal resistance characteristics and power dissipation limits under expected operating conditions.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This device belongs to the Nexperia BZX384 series of low-power voltage regulator diodes. The series includes 37 breakdown voltages across three tolerance variants: A (±1%), B (±2%), and C (approximately ±5%). All variants share the same SOD323 package and fundamental electrical structure, differing primarily in manufacturing precision and resulting voltage accuracy ranges.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Other BZX384 series variants with different voltage ratings or tolerances may be considered if electrical parameters align with circuit requirements. Cross-brand replacements require verification of pinout compatibility, package dimensions, and equivalent electrical specifications such as Zener impedance and leakage current.
