BZX84C3V6-7-F

Diodes Incorporated · Zener Diodes · SOT-23

BZX84C3V6-7-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, the lower-left lead in the device schematic; the zener is rated 3.4V to 3.8V at IZT = 5.0mA for the BZX84C3V6.
2 NC unconnected Lower-right lead, drawn in the device schematic with no internal connection to the diode.
3 K passive Cathode of the zener diode, the single top lead in the device schematic, which goes positive relative to the anode in reverse breakdown.
