BZX84C5V6S-7

Overview

The BZX84C5V6S-7 is a dual surface mount Zener diode manufactured by Diodes Incorporated. It features a nominal Zener voltage of 5.6 V with a tolerance range of 5.2 V to 6.0 V at a test current of 5 mA. The device operates within a power dissipation limit of 200 mW and utilizes an SOT-363 package. Electrical characteristics include a maximum Zener impedance of 40 Ω at IZT and 400 Ω at IZK, alongside a maximum reverse leakage current of 1.0 µA at 2.0 V. The component supports an operating temperature range from -65 °C to +150 °C.

Feature Summary

• Dual configuration integrating two independent Zener elements in a single ultra-small surface mount package.
• Planar die construction designed for automated assembly processes.
• Lead-free plating with matte tin finish annealed over an Alloy 42 leadframe.

Applications

• Voltage reference circuits requiring compact dual-element solutions.
• Clamping applications for transient voltage suppression.
• Biasing networks in low-power electronic systems.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm packaging details. The standard designation typically indicates tape and reel packaging with a quantity of 3000 units per reel. Confirm RoHS compliance status and date code requirements directly with the manufacturer or authorized distributors prior to procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual Zener array is required in an SOT-363 footprint. Ensure the 5.6 V nominal voltage aligns with circuit design specifications. Verify that the 200 mW power dissipation rating and thermal resistance of 625 °C/W are sufficient for the intended ambient temperature conditions and PCB pad layout.

Part Context

This part belongs to the BZX84C series of dual Zener diodes produced by Diodes Incorporated. The series covers Zener voltages ranging from 2.4 V to 39 V, all housed in the same SOT-363 case. The BZX84C5V6S variant specifically addresses applications needing precise dual regulation within a minimal surface area constraint.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the SOT-363 package, 5.6 V Zener voltage, and dual configuration. Verify electrical parameters such as impedance and leakage current against the original datasheet specifications to ensure functional equivalence in the target application.
