BZX84-C12/DG/B3,23

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The BZX84-C12 is a Zener diode with a nominal voltage of 12 V, housed in the SOD882 surface-mount package. It features a maximum power dissipation of 350 mW and operates within a temperature range of -55 °C to +150 °C. The device offers a tight tolerance of ±2% at the test current (Izt) of 5 mA, ensuring precise voltage regulation. With a low dynamic impedance of 22 Ω and a leakage current (Ir) of 0.5 µA at reverse voltage, it provides stable performance for voltage reference and protection applications.

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix 'B3,23' against the manufacturer's official ordering code list to confirm reel quantity and tape-and-reel specifications. Ensure the component matches the SOD882 footprint dimensions and pin configuration required by your PCB layout. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to confirm compliance with current environmental standards such as RoHS and REACH before finalizing procurement.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, low-power Zener diode with tight voltage tolerance is required. The SOD882 package is suitable for space-constrained designs. Consider the 350 mW power rating and thermal resistance when designing heat dissipation paths. Ensure the operating voltage range aligns with the 12 V nominal specification and that the low leakage current meets system standby requirements.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to Nexperia's standard Zener diode portfolio, designed for general-purpose voltage regulation and protection. The BZX84 series is widely used in consumer electronics and industrial control systems where small form factor and reliable performance are critical. The SOD882 package represents a modern surface-mount solution replacing older through-hole alternatives.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Check for direct replacements from Nexperia with identical electrical parameters and package. Verify compatibility with other manufacturers' equivalents by comparing Zener voltage tolerance, power dissipation, and thermal characteristics. Ensure any substitute maintains the same pinout and mechanical dimensions for seamless integration.
