BZX84C6V8S-7-F

Overview

The BZX84C6V8S-7-F is a dual surface mount Zener diode manufactured by Diodes Incorporated. It features planar die construction within an SOT-363 package, providing two independent voltage regulator elements in a single component. The device has a total power dissipation of 200mW and operates across a temperature range of -65°C to +150°C. For the 6.8V nominal configuration, the Zener voltage ranges from 6.4V to 7.2V at a test current of 5mA. Maximum reverse current is specified as 2.0µA at 4.0V, with maximum Zener impedance values of 15Ω at IZT and 80Ω at IZK.

Feature Summary

• Dual element design integrating two independent Zener diodes in one compact SOT-363 package
• Planar die construction optimized for automated assembly processes
• Lead-free and RoHS compliant manufacturing with UL flammability rating 94V-0

Applications

• General regulation functions
• Voltage reference applications
• Over-voltage protection circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix matches the required packaging format. Confirm that the date code aligns with material specifications regarding green molding compound usage if halogen-free status is critical for the application. Ensure the supplier provides traceable documentation consistent with Diodes Incorporated standards.

Selection Notes

Select this component when space constraints require dual voltage regulation or clamping functions within a small footprint. The SOT-363 package offers high density compared to discrete single diodes. Verify that the 200mW total power dissipation limit accommodates the thermal environment and that the 6% tolerance meets the circuit requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the BZX84C2V4S-BZX84C39S series, which covers nominal Zener voltages from 2.4V to 39V. The 'S' designation indicates the dual-element variant, distinct from the single-element BZX84C series. The '-7-F' suffix denotes the standard tape and reel packaging quantity of 3000 units.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other dual Zener diodes in SOT-363 packages such as the NXP BZX84C6V8S. Single-element replacements like the BZX84C6V8 require two physical components and additional board space.
