BZX79-C2V4

Nexperia · Zener Diodes · DO-204AH(DO-35)

BZX79-C2V4 from Nexperia, in a DO-204AH(DO-35). 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 K passive Cathode, identified by the marking band on the glass body of the axial-leaded SOD27 package.
2 A passive Anode lead of the axial-leaded SOD27 package; the regulator is reverse-biased (cathode positive) for Zener operation, e.g. VZ 2.2 to 2.6 V at 5 mA for the C2V4.
