BZX84-A16-QR

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Nexperia BZX84-A16-QR is a low-power voltage regulator diode housed in a SOT-23 (TO-236AB) surface-mounted device plastic package. It provides a nominal Zener voltage of 16 V with a tight tolerance of ±1 %. The component supports a total power dissipation of 250 mW and operates within an ambient temperature range of -55 °C to +150 °C. It features a maximum reverse leakage current of 50 nA at the specified test current of 5 mA, ensuring stable regulation performance for precision circuit applications.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Qualified according to AEC-Q101 standards for automotive reliability
• Offers normalized E24 breakdown voltages with ±1 % tolerance accuracy
• Designed for general regulation functions in compact surface-mount layouts

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• General voltage regulation circuits
• Automotive electronic systems requiring AEC-Q101 compliance
• Reference voltage generation in low-power designs

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'QR' indicates the reel packaging configuration when sourcing. Confirm that the AEC-Q101 qualification aligns with your target automotive grade requirements. Ensure the SOT-23 footprint matches your PCB design constraints before finalizing procurement orders.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 16 V reference is required with minimal tolerance drift. The ±1 % series offers tighter control than standard ±5 % variants. Consider the 250 mW power limit and thermal resistance characteristics for high-density board layouts where heat dissipation may be restricted.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the Nexperia BZX84-Q series, which encompasses various breakdown voltages from 2.4 V to 75 V. The series includes three tolerance grades: ±1 %, ±2 %, and approximately ±5 %. The BZX84-A16-QR specifically utilizes the A-series designation for its high-precision ±1 % specification within the standardized TO-236AB package family.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other BZX84-A16-Q variants or equivalent 16 V Zener diodes in SOT-23 packages with matching ±1 % tolerance and AEC-Q101 qualification.
