BZX84-C33,215

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Nexperia BZX84-C33,215 is a low-power voltage regulator diode housed in an SOT-23 (TO-236AB) surface-mounted device plastic package. It provides a nominal Zener voltage of 33 V with approximately ±5% tolerance. The component supports a total power dissipation of 250 mW and operates within a junction temperature range of -55 °C to +150 °C. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum reverse current of 50 µA at the specified test current of 2 mA, a forward voltage of up to 0.9 V at 10 mA, and a non-repetitive peak reverse power dissipation capability of 40 W.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Low-power voltage regulation in a compact SMD plastic package
• Normalized E24 breakdown voltage range from 2.4 V to 75 V
• Three available tolerance series for precision selection

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific suffix ',215' corresponds to the required tape and reel packaging configuration as defined by Nexperia's ordering information. Confirm that the application environment does not require automotive qualification, as this specific part number is designated as a non-automotive qualified product according to the latest datasheet revision history.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard 33 V reference is needed in space-constrained designs utilizing SOT-23 footprints. Ensure the circuit design accounts for the thermal resistance characteristics and the specific test current conditions required to maintain the stated voltage tolerance. Verify compatibility with the intended operating temperature range relative to the device's junction temperature limits.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This device belongs to the BZX84 series of voltage regulator diodes manufactured by Nexperia. The series encompasses 37 distinct breakdown voltages spanning from 2.4 V to 75 V. The C-series designation indicates availability in the approximately ±5% tolerance range, distinguishing it from the higher precision A (±1%) and B (±2%) variants within the same package family.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other BZX84-C33 variants from different manufacturers ensuring identical SOT-23 pinout and 33 V nominal voltage. Verify that substitute components meet or exceed the 250 mW power dissipation rating and the 50 µA maximum reverse current specifications.
