Product details
Overview
BZB84-C30-QR from Nexperia is a dual common-anode Zener diode in SOT23 package, providing precise 30 V voltage regulation with ±5 % tolerance for automotive power rail stabilization and overvoltage protection. It delivers 300 mW total power dissipation, supports 200 mA forward current per diode, and features non-repetitive peak reverse power handling up to 40 W at 100 µs pulse width.
For engineers reviewing the BZB84-C30-QR datasheet, BZB84-C30-QR pinout, BZB84-C30-QR application, or BZB84-C30-QR equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, dual-diode common-anode topology for compact dual-rail clamping, temperature coefficient of +21 mV/K at IZ = 2 mA, and differential resistance of 300 Ω at IZ = 2 mA.
Technical Context
This dual-Zener device integrates two independent Zener diodes sharing a common anode terminal (Pin 3), enabling simultaneous regulation or clamping of two separate voltage nodes referenced to a shared ground or supply rail. Its construction uses silicon planar epitaxial technology optimized for stable breakdown characteristics across −55 °C to +150 °C ambient range.
The device operates under two distinct Zener test conditions: 2 mA for 30 V nominal types (per Table 9), with typical reverse current <0.05 µA at 27 V and capacitance of 50 pF at 0 V. Thermal resistance from junction to solder point is 100 K/W, supporting reliable operation on standard FR4 PCBs with tin-plated copper.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Nominal Zener Voltage | 30 V ±5 % - defines regulated output voltage under 2 mA test current; actual working range 28.0–32.0 V. |
| Total Power Dissipation | 300 mW - maximum continuous power at Tamb ≤ 25 °C on standard FR4 PCB; derates linearly above 25 °C. |
| Non-repetitive Peak Reverse Power | 40 W - surge capability for 100 µs square-wave pulses; enables transient overvoltage suppression in automotive load-dump events. |
| Differential Resistance | 300 Ω - dynamic impedance at IZ = 2 mA; determines regulation accuracy under varying load currents. |
| Temperature Coefficient | +21 mV/K - positive drift rate at IZ = 2 mA; ensures predictable voltage shift across operating temperature range. |
| Reverse Current | <0.05 µA at VR = 27 V - low leakage below breakdown, critical for battery-backed circuits and low-power standby modes. |
| Forward Voltage | 0.9 V max at IF = 10 mA - enables use as low-drop rectifier or clamp in forward-biased configurations. |
Pinout & Package
SOT23 plastic surface-mount package (2.9 mm × 1.3 mm × 1.0 mm body, 1.9 mm pin pitch) with gull-wing leads and moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (K1) | Cathode of Diode 1 | Connects to regulated node or signal line requiring 30 V clamping; reverse-biased during Zener operation. |
| 2 (K2) | Cathode of Diode 2 | Independent cathode for second 30 V regulation path; enables dual-rail protection without discrete components. |
| 3 (CA) | Common Anode | Shared anode connection; ties both diodes to system ground or reference potential-critical for dual-clamp topology. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual common-anode configuration | Reduces board space by 50 % vs. two discrete SOT23 Zeners; eliminates routing complexity for paired voltage rails. |
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive underhood environments including thermal cycling, humidity, and mechanical shock per JESD22 standards. |
| ±5 % voltage tolerance (C-series) | Meets cost-sensitive industrial and automotive auxiliary systems where tight regulation is secondary to reliability and footprint. |
| 40 W non-repetitive surge rating | Withstands ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/5a transients without degradation-enables direct integration into ECU power inputs. |
| 150 °C maximum junction temperature | Supports operation in high-temperature zones (e.g., near engine control units) without thermal shutdown or parameter drift. |
Applications
| Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) | Industrial PLC Analog Input Protection |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor MMBZ5262B | Single 30 V Zener (SOT23); no dual-diode topology; ±5 % tolerance; 500 mW Ptot. | Requires two devices for dual-rail use; higher total footprint and assembly cost. | Select when only one regulated rail is needed or when higher power margin (>300 mW) is required per diode. |
| Vishay BZX84-C30-TP | Single 30 V Zener (SOT23); ±5 %; 300 mW; not AEC-Q101 qualified; 200 °C max Tj. | Lacks automotive qualification; unsuitable for under-hood deployment or safety-critical modules. | Select for cost-sensitive consumer or industrial applications where AEC-Q101 compliance is not mandated. |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current this device can sustain at 30 V?
The BZB84-C30-QR is rated for 200 mA forward current per diode but is not specified for continuous reverse conduction. At nominal 30 V Zener voltage, it sustains regulated operation at IZ = 2 mA (typical test condition); sustained reverse current beyond 5 mA requires thermal derating per its 300 mW Ptot limit and 417 K/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance.
Can this device be used in parallel to increase power handling?
No-parallel connection of Zener diodes is not recommended due to mismatched breakdown voltages and thermal runaway risk. The BZB84-C30-QR's 40 W non-repetitive peak rating is designed for short-duration transients, not steady-state power sharing; use external current-limiting resistors or dedicated TVS arrays for higher energy handling.
Does the common anode configuration support independent biasing of each cathode?
Yes-Pins 1 (K1) and 2 (K2) operate as fully independent cathodes referenced to the common anode (Pin 3). Each diode regulates or clamps its respective node when reverse-biased, enabling true dual-channel functionality without electrical crosstalk or shared current paths beyond the anode connection.
How does the +21 mV/K temperature coefficient affect precision voltage references?
The +21 mV/K coefficient means the Zener voltage increases by 21 mV per Kelvin rise in junction temperature. Over a 100 °C range (−40 °C to +60 °C ambient), this introduces ~2.1 V drift-making it unsuitable for metrology-grade references but acceptable for robust power rail supervision where absolute accuracy is secondary to reliability and surge immunity.
