BZX84W-B3V6F

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Nexperia BZX84W-B3V6F is a general-purpose Zener diode housed in a SOT-323 (SC-70) leadless surface-mount package. It provides a nominal working voltage of 3.6 V with a ±5% tolerance. The device supports a total power dissipation of 275 mW and operates within a junction temperature range of -55 °C to +150 °C. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum reverse current of 5 µA at 1 V, a differential resistance of 90 Ω at 5 mA, and a typical temperature coefficient of -2.4 mV/K.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• General-purpose Zener diodes in a very small Surface-Mounted Device plastic package
• Wide working voltage range from nominal 2.4 V to 75 V
• Available in two tolerance series: ± 2 % and ± 5 %

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• General regulation functions
• High-frequency applications

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm packaging details and manufacturing site codes. Ensure the component meets RoHS compliance requirements for your target market. Confirm that the non-automotive qualification status aligns with your application constraints before finalizing procurement.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-voltage reference or clamp is required in space-constrained designs. The SOT-323 package offers a compact footprint suitable for high-density PCB layouts. Consider the ±5% tolerance and negative temperature coefficient for circuits where precise voltage stability across varying temperatures is not critical.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the BZX84W series of voltage regulator diodes manufactured by Nexperia USA Inc. The series encompasses 74 types covering nominal voltages from 2.4 V to 75 V. All variants share the same SOT-323 leadless package and thermal characteristics, differing primarily in breakdown voltage and tolerance grades.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include other BZX84W-CxxxxF variants sharing the SOT-323 package and ±5% tolerance. Cross-brand replacements require matching the 3.6 V nominal voltage, 275 mW power rating, and SOT-323 footprint while verifying equivalent leakage and impedance specifications.
