Product details
Overview
BZB784-C10-QX from Nexperia is a dual Zener voltage regulator diode in SOT323 (SC-70) package, configured with common anode and two independent cathodes (K1/K2), providing 9.4 V to 10.6 V nominal regulation at ±5% tolerance, 200 nA reverse current at VR = 7 V, and 50 Ω typical differential resistance at IZ = 5 mA - used for precision voltage clamping and ESD protection in automotive sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the BZB784-C10-QX datasheet, BZB784-C10-QX pinout, BZB784-C10-QX application, or BZB784-C10-QX equivalent, this part supports dual-rail clamping in CAN transceiver I/O protection, low-power rail stabilization in ADAS camera modules, and AEC-Q101-compliant overvoltage suppression in body control units.
Technical Context
This dual-Zener device integrates two independently rated Zener diodes sharing a common anode terminal, enabling bidirectional clamping across two signal paths without external interconnection. Its thermal resistance from junction to solder point is 140 K/W (2 diodes loaded), supporting stable operation up to 150 °C junction temperature under automotive ambient conditions.
The device exhibits a +6.0 mV/K temperature coefficient at IZ = 5 mA and 10 pF diode capacitance at f = 1 MHz, VR = 0 V, making it suitable for high-speed data line protection where low parasitic capacitance and predictable thermal drift are critical - such as LIN bus termination or USB 2.0 port ESD hardening.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Nominal VZ | 10 V (9.4–10.6 V range at ±5% tolerance; defines clamping threshold for 12 V automotive systems) |
| Reverse current IR | 200 nA at VR = 7 V (ensures minimal leakage during standby in always-on vehicle networks) |
| Differential resistance rdiff | 50 Ω typ. at IZ = 5 mA (provides tight voltage regulation under transient load shifts) |
| Non-repetitive peak power | 40 W at tp = 100 µs (handles ISO 7637-2 pulse 1/2/5a surges without degradation) |
| Total power dissipation | 350 mW at Tamb = 25 °C (2 diodes loaded; enables compact placement on dense PCBs) |
| Thermal resistance Rth(j-a) | 355 K/W in free air (2 diodes loaded; informs derating for under-hood thermal environments) |
| Capacitance Cd | 90 pF max. at f = 1 MHz, VR = 0 V (preserves signal integrity on ≤10 Mbps serial buses) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DMC2012SCT-10 | Single Zener, 10 V, SOD-323; no dual-cathode configuration | Requires two devices for bidirectional clamping; higher board area and solder joint count | Select when only unidirectional clamping is needed or space allows discrete placement |
| BZX84-C10-Q | Single Zener, 10 V, SOT23; lacks second cathode and common-anode topology | Cannot implement symmetrical dual-rail clamping without external wiring and layout compromise | Choose only for cost-sensitive non-automotive designs where AEC-Q101 is not required |
Compared with DMC2012SCT-10 and BZX84-C10-Q, the BZB784-C10-QX uniquely delivers integrated dual-cathode clamping in one AEC-Q101-qualified SC-70 package - reducing component count by 50%, eliminating routing asymmetry, and guaranteeing matched thermal and electrical behavior between channels.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current rating for BZB784-C10-QX?
The device is not rated for continuous forward conduction; its primary function is reverse-biased Zener regulation. The absolute maximum forward current is 200 mA per diode, but sustained forward bias exceeds design intent and risks thermal runaway. It must be operated in reverse breakdown for regulation or clamping.
Can BZB784-C10-QX replace single-Zener diodes in existing designs?
Yes, but only when the circuit topology uses a common-anode configuration and requires dual-rail clamping. Direct substitution for single-Zener parts (e.g., BZX84-C10) is not possible without modifying PCB layout and signal routing to accommodate the third terminal (CA) and dual-cathode structure.
How does the +6.0 mV/K temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy over temperature?
At IZ = 5 mA, the coefficient causes a +0.6 V shift from −40 °C to +125 °C ambient, resulting in a total VZ range of ~9.8 V to 10.4 V across automotive temperature extremes - well within the ±5% initial tolerance and sufficient for most 12 V system clamping requirements.
Is the SOT323 package lead-free and RoHS compliant?
Yes, BZB784-C10-QX is manufactured using lead-free solderable terminations and complies with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006, with full material declarations available through Nexperia's compliance portal.
