# BZX84C16Q

**Yangzhou Yangjie Elec Tech** · Zener Diodes · SOT-23

BZX84C16Q from Yangzhou Yangjie Elec Tech, 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 | Anode of the Zener diode; the internal diagram shows it wired to the diode's anode side (VZ 15.3-17.1V at IZT 5mA for the 16V part). |
| 2 | NC | unconnected | No internal connection; the package diagram shows pin 2 with no connection to the diode. |
| 3 | K | passive | Cathode of the Zener diode; the internal diagram shows it wired to the diode's cathode (bar) side, and it goes positive for reverse regulation. |
