BZX84C16Q-7-F

Diodes Incorporated · Zener Diodes · SOT-23

BZX84C16Q-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, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 A passive Zener anode, at the bottom-left terminal of the device schematic.
2 NC unconnected Bottom-right terminal, shown with no internal connection in the device schematic.
3 K passive Zener cathode, at the top terminal of the device schematic; the 16V part has VZ 15.3V to 17.1V at IZT = 5.0mA.
