Diodes Incorporated · Zener Diodes · SOT-23
BZX84B12-7-F from Diodes Incorporated, in a SOT-23. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model). Symbol and footprint from KiCad-official CAD; the 3D model is generated from the datasheet's package dimensions.
Pinout
| Pin | Name | Type | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | A | passive | Anode of the Zener diode, which connects to the diode symbol in the device schematic (BZX84B12: VZ 11.8V to 12.2V at IZT = 5.0mA). |
| 2 | NC | unconnected | No internal connection, shown as an unconnected terminal in the device schematic. |
| 3 | K | passive | Cathode of the Zener diode, which connects to the diode symbol in the device schematic (BZX84B12: VZ 11.8V to 12.2V at IZT = 5.0mA). |

CAD (land: KiCad; 3D: generated from the datasheet)
- Symbol:
BZX84B12-7-F - Footprint:
Package_TO_SOT_SMD:SOT-23 - 3D model: SOT-23, generated on the KiCad land (body 1.3 x 2.9 mm, terminals on the pads, 1.025 mm tall, datasheet A, nominal). KiCad's stock model for this land is taller than the datasheet allows, so the model is generated from the datasheet drawing; the dimensions come from the datasheet drawing where it was read and are defaults otherwise (see provenance.model_3d_generated), not the manufacturer's CAD (STEP)
