BZX84-C15

Nexperia · Zener Diodes · SOT-23(TO-236AB)

BZX84-C15 from Nexperia, in a SOT-23(TO-236AB). Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 A passive Anode of the voltage regulator diode; the datasheet gives no pin-specific limit, so the series limits apply (IF forward current max 200 mA, Ptot max 250 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C).
2 n.c. unconnected Not connected as printed in the pinning table, so this pin has no electrical function assigned.
3 K passive Cathode of the voltage regulator diode; for BZX84-C15 the nominal working voltage is 15 V (VZ 13.80 V to 15.60 V at IZ = 5 mA).
