Product details
Overview
BZX384-A75-QX from Nexperia is a ±1 % tolerance Zener voltage regulator diode in SOD323 (SC-76) package, rated for 75 V nominal breakdown voltage at 2 mA, 300 mW total power dissipation, and qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive voltage reference and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZX384-A75-QX datasheet, BZX384-A75-QX pinout, BZX384-A75-QX application, or BZX384-A75-QX equivalent, this device serves as a precision low-power shunt regulator where stable 75 V clamping, low differential resistance (500 Ω max), and temperature-stable operation (SZ = +52.5 mV/K) are required in space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse-biased breakdown mode to maintain a stable reference voltage across its terminals under varying load and supply conditions. Its 75 V nominal Zener voltage is specified at IZ = 2 mA with ±1 % tolerance, and it exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +52.5 mV/K - enabling predictable drift compensation in temperature-sensitive regulation paths.
The device supports non-repetitive peak reverse power dissipation up to 40 W (100 μs pulse), has a maximum reverse current of 0.2 μA at VR = 57 V, and features a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 415 K/W on FR4 PCB - defining its safe operating area under transient and steady-state conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 74.25 V to 75.75 V at IZ = 2 mA - ensures tight 75 V regulation with ±1 % accuracy for precision reference designs |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | ≤500 Ω at IZ = 2 mA - limits output impedance to maintain regulation stability under dynamic load changes |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤0.2 μA at VR = 57 V - guarantees minimal leakage in high-impedance bias networks and standby circuits |
| Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 300 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C - defines continuous DC power handling on standard FR4 PCB with single-sided copper |
| Non-repetitive Peak Power | 40 W (100 μs pulse) - enables robust transient overvoltage suppression without device failure |
| Temperature Coefficient (SZ) | +52.5 mV/K at IZ = 2 mA - provides known, linear voltage drift for thermal compensation circuit design |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | −65 °C to +150 °C - supports operation in extended automotive under-hood environments |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOD323 (SC-76), surface-mount plastic package with 2 leads, 2.3 mm × 1.35 mm footprint, cathode marked by bar on top surface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (K) | Connected to regulated output node; reverse-bias anode-to-cathode voltage establishes Zener conduction |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; completes current path during regulation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including HTRB, HTSL, and temperature cycling - suitable for engine control and ADAS power rails |
| ±1 % Zener tolerance | Tighter than BZX384-B (±2 %) and BZX384-C (~±5 %) variants - reduces system-level calibration burden in precision feedback loops |
| Low-profile SOD323 package | Height < 1.1 mm and footprint < 3.1 mm² - enables placement in dense power management IC layouts and compact ECU modules |
| 40 W surge capability | Withstands ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/5a transients without degradation - eliminates need for external TVS in many 12 V/24 V vehicle subsystems |
| 150 °C max junction temperature | Enables operation adjacent to power MOSFETs or DC-DC converters without derating in under-dash electronics |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX384-B75-Q | ±2 % tolerance (73.5 V–76.5 V), higher max rdif (500 Ω vs. 500 Ω same), identical Ptot and Tj | Suitable for non-critical biasing where ±2 % is acceptable; lower cost but requires tighter system tolerance budget | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for ±1 % regulation accuracy in non-feedback paths |
| MMSZ5265B-TP | 75 V nominal, ±5 % tolerance, SOD-123 package (larger footprint), 500 mW Ptot, no AEC-Q101 qualification | Acceptable for industrial/commercial use only; lacks automotive qualification and has looser tolerance | Choose only for non-automotive prototypes or cost-driven consumer designs where qualification is not mandated |
Compared with BZX384-B75-Q, the BZX384-A75-QX delivers tighter voltage control critical for closed-loop systems; versus MMSZ5265B-TP, it offers automotive qualification, smaller SOD323 footprint, and guaranteed low-leakage performance at elevated temperatures.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current the BZX384-A75-QX can sustain at 75 V?
The BZX384-A75-QX is not rated for continuous conduction at 75 V - it operates in Zener breakdown only when biased above its nominal VZ. At VR = 57 V (76 % of VZ), reverse current is limited to 0.2 μA. Continuous operation must remain within Ptot = 300 mW, implying max IZ ≈ 4 mA at 75 V, but derating is required above 25 °C ambient per Rth(j-a) = 415 K/W.
Does the BZX384-A75-QX have a defined forward voltage specification?
Yes - forward voltage is specified as ≤0.9 V at IF = 10 mA and ≤1.1 V at IF = 100 mA (pulse test, tp ≤ 100 μs). This parameter matters for polarity-protection configurations or dual-diode clamp arrangements where forward conduction may occur during fault conditions.
How does the +52.5 mV/K temperature coefficient impact circuit design?
The positive temperature coefficient means VZ increases ~52.5 mV per Kelvin rise in junction temperature. In precision references, this drift must be compensated - e.g., by pairing with a negative-TC component or using lookup-table correction in microcontroller-based monitoring systems. It is not a flaw but a characterized, repeatable behavior.
Can the BZX384-A75-QX replace older BZX384-A75 variants without layout changes?
Yes - BZX384-A75-QX uses the identical SOD323 package, pinning (cathode-bar orientation), and solder footprint as legacy BZX384-A75 parts. The "-QX" suffix denotes Nexperia's qualified automotive grade with full AEC-Q101 documentation; mechanical and electrical compatibility is maintained per datasheet Rev. 1 (2021).
