BZX84W-C6V8F

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Nexperia BZX84W-C6V8F is a general-purpose Zener diode with a nominal voltage of 6.8 V and ±5% tolerance, housed in a SOT-323 (SC-70) leadless surface-mount package. It features a total power dissipation of 275 mW at 25 °C, a maximum reverse current of 2 µA at 4 V, and a differential resistance of 15 Ω at 5 mA test current. The device operates within a junction temperature range of -55 °C to +150 °C, offering a typical temperature coefficient of 3.0 mV/K.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Compact leadless SOT-323 plastic surface-mount package for space-constrained designs
• Wide working voltage range covering the E24 series from 2.4 V to 75 V
• Low forward voltage characteristic suitable for signal applications

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• General regulation functions
• High-frequency applications

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific suffix 'C' confirms the ±5% tolerance variant required for the design. Confirm the ordering code matches the exact 6.8 V specification. Ensure the procurement channel provides the official Nexperia datasheet Rev. 2 documentation for accurate electrical limits and thermal characteristics during final validation.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-cost, small-footprint voltage reference is needed for non-critical regulation tasks. The ±5% tolerance makes it suitable for general-purpose circuits where tight precision is not mandatory. Consider the 275 mW power rating and thermal resistance when designing PCB layouts to ensure reliable operation under continuous load conditions.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the Nexperia BZX84W series of general-purpose Zener diodes. The series utilizes a standardized SOT-323 package across multiple voltage options. The 'C' designation specifically indicates the ±5% tolerance tier, distinguishing it from the higher precision ±2% 'B' series variants within the same physical footprint.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other BZX84W-C6V8 parts from different manufacturers or Nexperia's BZX84W-B6V8 if tighter ±2% tolerance is acceptable.
