BZX84C20Q-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 | Anode of the zener diode, shown on the lower-left terminal of the device schematic; BZX84C20 has a nominal Zener voltage of 20V (18.8V to 21.2V at IZT = 5.0mA). |
| 2 | NC | unconnected | No internal connection; the lower-right terminal in the device schematic has no connection to the die. |
| 3 | K | passive | Cathode of the zener diode, shown on the top terminal of the device schematic; the Zener voltage is 20V nominal at IZT = 5.0mA and maximum power dissipation is 350mW. |
