BZX84C7V5S-7-F

Overview

The BZX84C7V5S-7-F is a dual surface mount Zener diode manufactured by Diodes Incorporated, housed in an SOT-363 package. It provides a nominal Zener voltage of 7.5 V with a tolerance range of 7.0 V to 7.9 V at a test current of 5 mA. The device features a maximum Zener impedance of 15 Ω and a reverse leakage current of 1 µA at 5 V. Total power dissipation is rated at 200 mW, with a thermal resistance of 625 °C/W. Operating temperatures span from -65 °C to +150 °C.

Feature Summary

• Dual configuration within an ultra-small SOT-363 surface mount plastic package
• Planar die construction for reliable voltage regulation
• Lead-free plating with matte tin finish over Alloy 42 leadframe

Applications

• General voltage regulation functions
• Voltage reference circuits
• Clamping applications in low-power electronics

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official Diodes Incorporated documentation to confirm packaging details. Confirm that the component meets RoHS compliance requirements and check for any 'Green' device status regarding halogen content based on the manufacturing date code. Ensure the supplier provides valid traceability data for the SOT-363 package.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual Zener configuration is required in a compact footprint. The 7.5 V breakdown voltage suits mid-range reference needs. Verify that the 200 mW power dissipation limit accommodates the circuit's thermal environment. Check the 15 Ω impedance specification against signal integrity requirements for high-frequency applications.

Part Context

This part belongs to the BZX84C series of dual Zener diodes from Diodes Incorporated. The series covers nominal voltages from 2.4 V to 39 V in the same SOT-363 case. The 'C' designation indicates approximately ±5% voltage tolerance. The '-7-F' suffix denotes tape and reel packaging containing 3000 units per reel.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other BZX84C7V5S variants from different manufacturers offering identical electrical characteristics and SOT-363 pinouts. Verify that substitute parts maintain the same 200 mW power rating and 7.5 V nominal voltage tolerance.
