BZX84C12TS-7-F

Overview

The BZX84C12TS-7-F is a triple surface mount Zener diode array manufactured by Diodes Incorporated. It integrates three isolated diode elements within a single SOT-363 package. The nominal Zener voltage is 12.0 V, with a tolerance range of 11.4 V to 12.7 V at a test current of 5 mA. Maximum Zener impedance is 25 Ω at IZT and 150 Ω at IZK. Power dissipation is rated at 200 mW, with a thermal resistance of 625 °C/W. Operating temperature ranges from -65°C to +150°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrates three isolated Zener diode elements in a compact ultra-small surface mount package
• Constructed using planar die technology for reliable performance
• Compliant with RoHS standards and lead-free manufacturing requirements

Applications

• Voltage reference circuits requiring multiple independent references
• Clamping applications for signal protection
• Biasing networks in portable electronic devices

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix matches the required packaging configuration. Confirm that the date code aligns with project timelines. Ensure the component meets environmental compliance standards relevant to the target market. Cross-reference the marking code KP2 on the device body to confirm authenticity and correct voltage rating before assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this component when space constraints require multiple voltage regulation functions in a single footprint. The SOT-363 package offers a small form factor suitable for high-density PCB layouts. Consider the 200 mW power dissipation limit and thermal resistance when designing heat management strategies for the application environment.

Part Context

This part belongs to the BZX84C series of triple Zener arrays produced by Diodes Incorporated. The series covers a wide range of Zener voltages from 2.4 V to 39 V, all sharing the same SOT-363 package and mechanical specifications. The 'TS' designation indicates the triple configuration, while '-7-F' specifies the tape and reel packaging format.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other BZX84C12TS variants from different manufacturers if pin compatibility is maintained. Verify that alternative parts meet the same 200 mW power dissipation and 12.0 V ± tolerance requirements. Check for identical SOT-363 package dimensions to ensure physical fit.
