Product details
Overview
BZB784-C13-QX from Nexperia is a dual Zener voltage regulator diode in SOT323 (SC-70) package, configured as two cathodes (K1, K2) sharing a common anode (CA), with nominal working voltage 13 V ±5%, 100 nA reverse leakage at VR = 8 V, and 350 mW total power dissipation - used for precision voltage clamping and ESD protection in automotive sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the BZB784-C13-QX datasheet, BZB784-C13-QX pinout, BZB784-C13-QX application, or BZB784-C13-QX equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal resistance values, AEC-Q101 qualification status, and dual-diode configuration details essential for automotive-grade circuit protection design.
Technical Context
This dual-Zener device implements two independent 13 V regulation paths sharing one anode terminal, enabling bidirectional clamping across differential or complementary signal lines. Its ±5% VZ tolerance, 100 nA IR at 8 V, and low 50–170 Ω dynamic impedance support stable reference and transient suppression in low-power analog front-ends.
Thermal performance is defined for FR4 PCB mounting: Rth(j-a) = 355 K/W (both diodes active), Rth(j-sp) = 140 K/W, and Tj(max) = 150 °C - confirming suitability for under-hood automotive environments where ambient reaches +125 °C with derated power.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Nominal Zener Voltage | 13 V ±5% - defines precise clamping threshold for overvoltage protection in 12 V automotive systems |
| Reverse Leakage Current | 100 nA at VR = 8 V - ensures minimal standby current draw in always-on sensor circuits |
| Total Power Dissipation | 350 mW at Tamb = 25 °C (2 diodes loaded) - sets maximum continuous surge energy handling capability |
| Forward Voltage | 0.9 V at IF = 10 mA - enables low-loss forward conduction during fault conditions |
| Junction Temperature Limit | 150 °C - supports operation in high-temperature engine control modules |
| Thermal Resistance j-a | 355 K/W - quantifies self-heating under full dual-diode load on standard FR4 PCB |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes - validated for automotive discrete semiconductor stress testing including HTGB, HTRB, and temperature cycling |
Pinout & Package
SOT323 (SC-70) plastic surface-mount package: 2.0 mm × 1.25 mm × 0.95 mm body, 1.3 mm lead pitch, FR4-compatible footprint per Figure 5.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C13-Q | Single Zener in SOT23; no dual-cathode topology | Requires two devices and extra routing for bidirectional clamping | Select when space allows discrete placement and cost sensitivity outweighs layout efficiency |
| PDZ13Q-13 | 13 V Zener in SOD323; 200 mW Ptot, higher IR (500 nA) | Limited surge capacity and less stringent leakage for low-duty-cycle protection | Prefer for non-automotive consumer electronics where AEC-Q101 is not required |
Compared with BZX84-C13-Q and PDZ13Q-13, the BZB784-C13-QX uniquely integrates dual 13 V regulation paths in one SOT323 footprint with AEC-Q101 validation, enabling compact, automotive-compliant bidirectional clamping without component count increase or thermal compromise.

FAQ
What is the maximum non-repetitive peak reverse power dissipation for BZB784-C13-QX?
The BZB784-C13-QX supports up to 40 W non-repetitive peak reverse power dissipation (PZSM) at tp = 100 µs, square-wave waveform, and Tamb = 25 °C - verified per IEC 60134 absolute maximum rating system and confirmed in Table 5 of the official datasheet.
Does BZB784-C13-QX support bidirectional clamping in a single package?
Yes - its pinout (K1, K2, CA) enables true bidirectional clamping: applying voltage between K1 and CA regulates at +13 V, while voltage between K2 and CA regulates at +13 V in the opposite polarity, forming a symmetrical ±13 V clamp relative to the common anode node.
How does the 100 nA reverse leakage affect low-power automotive applications?
At 100 nA reverse leakage (measured at VR = 8 V), the BZB784-C13-QX adds negligible current draw to always-on domains - for example, contributing only ~0.86 µC/day leakage in a LIN bus node, well within ASAM MCD-2 MC sleep-mode budget constraints.
Is the SOT323 package footprint compatible with automated reflow assembly?
Yes - the SC-70 outline complies with JEDEC MO-203-DA, and Nexperia provides validated reflow soldering footprints (Figure 5) with 0.55 mm solder paste stencil openings and 1.325 mm pad centers, supporting IPC-A-610 Class 2 and Class 3 assembly standards.
